where XXXXX represents the Business Partner ID

Cause

Not all relationship categories are supported. Categories with BP Role Definition or Differentiation Type (fields TBZ9-XRF and TBZ9-DFTYP) are not covered in the Export Master Data - BP Relationships Fiori app. Application explicitly excludes them from downloading the data. The respective fields are not part of the Process Model.

Resolution

This is a functional restriction that cannot be changed. Your request is a new requirement.
