Other terms

AM054, AM 054, AM/054, BUPA_INBOUND_MAIN_SAVE, versioning, FSAPPL, platform, BUPA_ADDRESS_UPD_CONSISTENT, BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL, IF_EX_BUPA_GENERAL_EXPORT~GENERAL_DATA_EXPORT, BABP_IM_IMPORT_EXPORT, PERSNUMBER, CLEAR, BUT000, BUT000-PERSNUMBER, BABP
Reason and Prerequisites

The error occurs due to a new, stricter check.
Due to internal problems with temporary numbers during mapping between structures, the field BUT000-PERSNUMBER in the BAdI implementation IF_EX_BUPA_GENERAL_EXPORT~GENERAL_DATA_EXPORT was always deleted in the past even if the field did not contain a temporary value. The field is now deleted only if it contains a temporary value.
Solution

Implement the attached correction instructions.
