SAP Business ByDesign

Currently, it is not possible to mass update telephone numbers for suppliers using the Mass Data Maintenance work center.

Telephone numbers for suppliers can be updated using the 'ManageSupplierIn' web service.

A sample to update the telephone number of a supplier can be constructed as follows:

<n0:SupplierBundleMaintainRequest_sync_V1 xmlns:n0="http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal20/Global">

<BasicMessageHeader>
</BasicMessageHeader>
<Supplier actionCode="04">
<InternalID></InternalID>
<AddressInformation actionCode="04" >
<UUID></UUID>
<Address actionCode="04">
<PhoneFormattedNumberDescription>*</PhoneFormattedNumberDescription>
</Address>
</AddressInformation>
</Supplier>
</n0:SupplierBundleMaintainRequest_sync_V1>

InternalID: This is the ID of the supplier.

UUID at addressInformation: This information can be obtained by executing a query service beforehand.

The QuerySupplier service can be used to retrieve this information.

https://api.sap.com/api/PSM_ISI_R_II_QUERY_SUPPLIER_IN/overview

<n0:SupplierByElementsQuery_sync xmlns:n0="http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal20/Global">
<SupplierSelectionByElements>
<SelectionByInternalID>
<InclusionExclusionCode>I</InclusionExclusionCode>
<IntervalBoundaryTypeCode>1</IntervalBoundaryTypeCode>
<LowerBoundaryIdentifier></LowerBoundaryIdentifier>
</SelectionByInternalID>
</SupplierSelectionByElements>
<ProcessingConditions>
<QueryHitsUnlimitedIndicator>true</QueryHitsUnlimitedIndicator>
</ProcessingConditions>

<RequestedElements supplierTransmissionRequestCode="2">
<Supplier addressInformationTransmissionRequestCode="1"/>
</RequestedElements>
</n0:SupplierByElementsQuery_sync>

The <RequestedElements> tag can be used to limit the response to the desired data."

<RequestedElements supplierTransmissionRequestCode="2">

<Supplier addressInformationTransmissionRequestCode="1"/>
</RequestedElements>

Once this information is retrieved, the web service call can be created to update the telephone numbers.
