Cause
The Data Source Opportunity Involved Parties [CODOPPPTYB] is used to get all of the Involved Parties Maintained in the Opportunities, hence the meaning "Involved Parties" for the Data Source is different from what we have in the UI. For the Data Source, it means all of the Parties (Business Partners) are maintained in the opportunities.
For the UI, which means the Tab Involved Parties in the UI Opportunity area, it mostly means external parties. The "Involved Parties" means those parties when assigned role category are "Other Party" and Not Marked as Internal.
Resolution
If you want to use the Data Source Opportunity Involved Parties [CODOPPPTYB], in order to select only the Involved Parties in the UI perspective, you must use the Role category explained which is recognized for UI meaning (Other Party and not marked as internal).
