Functionality
You can use this BAPI to create identification (ID) numbers for abusiness partner. These ID numbers can also be used to uniquelyidentify a business partner externally.
The system conducts various checks. One such check is that the businesspartner exists, and another that the ID category is valid. Any errorsthat occur are logged and output in the RETURN table. If errors occurduring checks, the ID numbers are not created.

Example
Possible ID numbers:
Driver's license number
Legitimation number
and so on.

Notes
At the BAPI interface you must ensure that the ID category istransferred, and not the ID type. The type is an element of thecategory, and is defined in Customizing (customer-specificCustomizing). This means that the program cannot query the ID type.
