Answer 1

Thanks for the clarification.
Just to point the tables in relation. Short form. Maybe not all sdn participant have the overview
customer = KNA1 + ADRC
vendor = LFA1+ADRC
Plant T001 + ADRC
Site T001W+ADRC
Business partner = BUT000 + BUT020 + ADRC.
Possible linkage of BP to customer. Yes this is done via BD001 in the good old time and now CVI_CUST_LINK.
At max and since ERP 4.5B (not before), customer address number = vendor adress number = site (plant) number
This has no relation at all with the business partner.
Business partner address = ... Business partner address. Nothing is shared.
A fairly long time ago, the BP was used to maintain a consumer. Which was a very specific customer (customer+1CP).
I guess you have checked this before writing. So please confirm that without a link properly setup between BP and customer master your proposal could work.
From what I see in this FM. Exclusively the address of a BP will be touched. In no 'line', I see nothing that could relate to a customer address and more over the synchronisation with the master data itself.
As a result, I see only ONE chance to get the customer address properly touched and synced with the master data.
Then guess what... this would mean that syncrhonisation of BP to customer is enabled and customized. As a result (in ERP2005+), this means CMD_EI_API is triggered from the BP maintenance.
In other words,  thanks for this last clarification. As it points out that you are used to use the BP with synchronisation to customer and vendor. This is a very good habit. It would be very nice and good that most SAP customers works in ERP direclty from the BP. There are lots of benefits. Unfortunately this is not the current reality.
