Symptom
Self-Reflexive Partner Function is not overwritten in C4C to S/4HANA Cloud Business Partner Replication.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- A non-reflexive partner function is sent from C4C to S/4HANA Cloud via a webservice message e.g. SH 1234567 is sent to Customer 7654321
- The new partner function is added instead of overwriting the existing partner function e.g. SH 1234567 is added to the Customer 7654321 instead of replacing the SH 7654321
Cause
- There is no way to overwrite an existing self-reflexive Partner Function with a new one when sending data from C4C to S/4HANA Cloud.
- The reason for this is that C4C does not support self reflexive partner functions and as such there is special coding in S/4HC which add the self-reflexive partner functions when a message is received from C4C, as such the new partner function is added in addition rather than as a replacement.
