Functionality
The system transfers structures for general data, address data forprivate and business addresses, the partner roles of the contactperson, and communications links. BAPIs for creating a business,private, or company address are called within the module. The centraladdress management function must be activated for this purpose.
The system subsequently generates the data and roles for the contactperson using Batch Input technology. If both steps have been processedsuccessfully, the system creates object references that establish thelinks between contact persons on the SFA and OLTP sides. Should anerror occur, the function module issues a description of the error. Thevalue for the parameter E_STATUS is then set to 'E' for 'Error'. If thesteps are completed successfully, or if object references aresuccessfully created with warnings, the system displays the statuses'S' or 'W'.
The key fields of the relevant SFA tables are located in the parameterTI_SFA_KEY. The relationship between parent and sub-tables is alsospecified here.
The parameter TI_ADR_INFO contains information that allows you toassign SFA keys from the address tables to business or privateaddresses. The system enters the following default values in the tableparameters if business and private addresses are available:

• Field 1: SFA key of address,


• Field 2: Constant 'ADRCDFLT',


• Field 3: 'D' for business address, 'P' for private address.

The parameters for the communications links each have a field in theirstructure that specifies the link category with regard to the business,private or company address. In the case of telephone numbers, thesystem sets the field 'MAILTYPE' to '1' if the telephone number belongsto the business address, to '2' if the number is valid within thecustomer company, and to '3' if the number belongs to a privateaddress.

Example
The example confines itself to the possible parameter values:


• I_UPLOAD_ID: Unique GUID from the SFA server with which the message can
be identified

• I_DESTIN: RFC destination of the SFA server


• I_SFA_REL: Release of the SFA server


• I_KEYWORD_IN: Transfer parameters for customer exits


• I_CONTACT: General data for contact person


• I_CONTX: Changed fields in I_CONTACT


• I_BUSIADR: Address data for business address


• I_BUSADRX: Changed fields in I_BUSIADR


• I_PRIVADR: Address data for private address


• I_PRVADRX: Changed fields in I_PRIVADR

Table parameters: (Contact person and address-specific data):
TI_ADR_INFO, TI_TELDATA, TI_FAXDATA, TI_TTXDATA, TI_TLXDATA, TI_MAILDAT

• TI_EXTENSION: Customer exit data


• TI_SFA_KEYS: Link to the keys in the SFA system

Note
The system calls the proxy BAPI from the SFA server (using the RFC)during an upload. Usage of this BAPI outside the SFA context is alsoplanned.
