Sample Payload:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/AP/CustomerExtension/BYD/A2DZB" xmlns:ns2="http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal20/Global">
<env:Body>
<ns2:CustomerBundleMaintainRequest_sync_V1>
<Customer actionCode="02" AddressInformationListCompleteTransmissionIndicator="true">
<InternalID>XYZ</InternalID>
<ns1:ABC>sample@sampleemail.com</ABC>
</Customer>
</ns2:CustomerBundleMaintainRequest_sync_V1>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

XYZ: Account ID

ABC: Field or Data to be updated

You set the AddressInformationListCompleteTransmissionIndicator to “True”

This means, that the system expects all AddressInformation data to be sent.

In the above sample payload no AddressInformation data is sent, and therefore the AddressInformation data + any sub data (like Postal Address, E-Mail etc.) is deleted.

You need to set the Transmission Indicator to “False” to allow the system to treat the request as delta load, hence avoid the deletion of any sub data.
