Enter ID Number

 

Note:
In the above example:
xxxxxx represents the tenant URL of the S/4HANA cloud system
YYYYYY represents the IDentification Type of the Business Partner

In the Request Payload, the BP Identification Number is not provided. Hence the system throws the error.

As per the SAP standard process of BP, Identification Number cannot be blank as this is the primary key field in BUT0ID table. Sending this field blank will create an inconsistency with all the other tables which are in relationship with this table. The Business Partner Identification Number is not an optional field and hence, need to be passed in the Request payload.
