Problem in Creation of business partner

Question

i create business partner with the help of BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CREATE_FROM_DATA
i want to add mobile number but there is no any field such like mobile number in address data table.
But there is separate table of telephone data. When i use this table to store the mobile or telephone number at that time bapi stores the data on the telephone table in independent communication but not in direct communication fields .
Please , suggest me what i do to store the data in direct communication instead of indirect communication.
Thanks for review my post...

Answer 1

Hi ilesh,
There are 2 kinds of communication data -
1. Address dependent- this is linked to the address, and would need to be created / changed using BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE. You need to pass the BP number and the address number to which you want to link the tel / mobile number.
2. Address independent  - this is directly linked to the BP, without dependency on the BP's address. You can modify such data using BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE.
Now, you can decide which fields you want filled, and accordingly use the correct FM. Second point - how to make sure the number gets created as a mobile, and not normal telephone. There is a field called R3 user in the table ADR2, and also in the Telephone structures that you fill while calling the FMs mentioned before. Make sure you pass the correct value of R3 user ( i think it is 2 for mobile, but you can check it by looking at the value range for this element in ADR2 through transaction SE11).By default, R3 user is 1, which denotes landline telephone. To create mobile numbers, pass R3 user = 2 (or whatever value you look up from the value range).
This should solve your problem.
Cheers,
Rishu.
