Collections Management: Filter Type Invalid

Question

Hi,
I am trying to implement a BAdI for distribution of work items to collection specialists.
I have defined a new distribution procedure but when I create the new implementation and type in my procedure name, when I click the create button I get the error message "Filter value ZLINKS is invalid for filter type UDM_COLL_DIST_ALGORITHM.
If I drill down into this filter type to the data element the value table UDM_COLL_DISTALG which contains the SAP standard entry SAP_EQDIST and my custom ZLINKS entry.
Does anyone know why I am receiving this message? Have a missed a step out?
Advice appreciated.
David

Hello Ashish,
I guess the customizing is not setup properly.
Look in :
/SPRO
/Cross-Application Components
  /Master Data Synchronization
   /Customer/Vendor Integration
    /Business Partner Settings
    /Settings for Customer Integration
     ==>Define BP Role for Direction Customer to BP
There at least the account group customized with a valid BP role.
Maybe you should also start from the customer master data standard maintenance (XD02 or XD01) to check if the standard synchronisation is running properly.
Check for the results and/or errpr codes in transaction MDS_PPO2.
Eventually deactivate PPO in order to stop processing at the first error. This should help you to find the reason of the trouble.
/SPRO
/Cross-Application Components
  /Master Data Synchronization
   /Synchronization Control
    ==>Activate PPO Requests for Platform Objects in the Dialog
    ==>Activate Synchronization Options
Good luck
Best regards
