BP - default and check classification data at CREATE/SAVE using BDT + BADI

Question

Hi,
I do have several requirements around Business Partners and BDT.
1. When a BP is created, I want to default certain fields depending on what BP role is maintained, specifically I am looking at fields on the classification tab (BDT application CRMD).
--> I do not want to use transaction variants.
--> I want to use the BDT or implement a BADI (which I don’t think does exist)
2. When a BP is saved, I want to check whether certain fields have certain values – depending on the BP role.
--> Field selection is not sufficient.
--> I tried using the BDT calling own function modules at different events – without success. When I call function module CRM_BUPA_FRG0040_GET_DETAIL to get current classification data at DCHCK, structure ls_frg0040 is not updated yet.
At a later event I can not stop the save.
Is there a way to force an update of memory, so that function module CRM_BUPA_FRG0040_GET_DETAIL returns current values.
--> I also tried BADI BUPA_FURTHER_CHECKS, but it is not called at all.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Can anyone send me the BDT cookbook at [email protected]?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Juergen,
From the BADI stand-point (and assuming dialog usage).
1/ You have:
BUPA_INITIAL_SCREEN  "Initial Screen for BP creation"
You should even be able to set a particular tab to which you want to navigate and then fill in the relevant fields, prior to having the screen completely painted.
2/ You have badi's"
A - PARTNER_UPDATE "Business Partner"
and
B - BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE  "Business Partner General Data"
when performing updates to the partner.
Looking at the call stack (reading bottom-up) these BADIs are called a the points shown, both with the change-before-update method:
--> B
10 GENERAL_BADI_CALL
9 BUP_BUPA_EVENT_DSAVE
8 EVENT_DSAVE
7 BDT_DATA_SAVE
6 SAVE_GLOBAL_MEMORY
5 SAVE_GLOBAL_MEMORY
--> A
4 COMMIT_MAINTENANCES
3 TAKE_OVER_AND_SAVE
2 TAKE_OVER_AND_SAVE_AND_RELOAD
1 ON_SAVE
