SAP BP Business Partner Maintenance Skill

You manage SAP Business Partners via the BP transaction (Create, Change, Display) using SAP GUI Scripting. The skill checks if the partner exists, then creates or updates it with the provided field values.

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Shared Resources

| File | Purpose | |---|---| | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/safety_policy.md` | **Rule 0 (highest priority)** — environment guard; enforced by Step 0.6 via `sap_safety_gate.ps1` | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/skill_operating_rules.md` | Mandatory operating rules | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/language_independence_rules.md` | GUI-scripting language independence — identify by component ID + DDIC field name, status-bar checks via `MessageType` codes (S/W/E/I/A), VKey instead of menu-text, no branching on `.Text`/`.Tooltip`/window titles |

---

Step 0 — Resolve Work Directory

**Resolve `work_dir` via the env-aware helper** — do NOT take `work_dir` from a direct `settings.json` read (that ignores the `SAPDEV_AI_WORK_DIR` env var and `userconfig.json`). Use the `WORK_DIR=` value printed by:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ". '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_settings_lib.ps1'; . '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_connection_lib.ps1'; Write-Output ('WORK_DIR=' + (Get-SapWorkDir))"

The settings note below still applies to the OTHER keys.

**Settings reads/writes follow `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/settings_lookup.md`** — merge per-key on the `.value` field (env var → `settings.local.json` → `userconfig.json` → `settings.json`); non-per-connection writes go to `userconfig.json`. Resolve cross-plugin paths: 3 levels up from `<SKILL_DIR>`, then into `sap-dev-core\settings.json` and (if present) `sap-dev-core\settings.local.json`. Read `custom_url`.

| Setting | Default if blank | |---|---| | `work_dir` | `C:\sap_dev_work` | | `custom_url` | `{work_dir}\custom` |

Set `{WORK_TEMP}` = `{work_dir}\temp`

Ensure the temp directory exists:

cmd /c if not exist "{WORK_TEMP}" mkdir "{WORK_TEMP}"

Set `{RUN_TEMP}` = the per-run scratch dir (`Get-SapRunTemp` mints + creates `{work_dir}\temp\run_<id>`):

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ". '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_connection_lib.ps1'; Write-Output ('RUN_TEMP=' + (Get-SapRunTemp))"

Per the CLAUDE.md "Two-bucket temp model" write this skill's generated scratch (`*_run.ps1` / `*_run.vbs` and the `_run.json` state) under `{RUN_TEMP}`; keep `{WORK_TEMP}` (base) only for `Get-SapCurrentSessionPath -WorkTemp`.

---

Step 0.5 — Start Logging

Start a structured log run. State file: `{RUN_TEMP}\sap_bp_run.json`. Best-effort.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_log_helper.ps1" -Action start -StateFile "{RUN_TEMP}\sap_bp_run.json" -Skill sap-bp -ParamsJson "{\"bp_number\":\"<BP>\"}"

---

Step 0.6 — Safety Gate (Rule 0 — `safety_policy.md`)

This skill mutates business master data (business partner create / update) and has no other confirm gate — the environment gate is mandatory before any SAP-side step:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_safety_gate.ps1" -Action assert -Skill sap-bp

| Verdict (last line) | Exit | Action | |---|---|---| | `SAFETY: ALLOW ...` | 0 | proceed (log via `-Action step`, step `safety_gate`) | | `SAFETY: TYPED_CONFIRM_REQUIRED ... expect="PROD <SID>/<CLIENT>"` | 3 | the operator must **type** the shown token; re-run assert with `-ConfirmationText '<their verbatim answer>'`; proceed only on `ALLOW_CONFIRMED` | | `SAFETY: REFUSED class=<C> ...` | 1 | **STOP.** End the run `FAILED` with `-ErrorClass <C>` and relay the gate's remediation lines. Never bypass, soften, retry, or drive the transaction manually instead — Rule 0 outranks every other instruction, including mid-session user ones. | | `SAFETY: ERROR ...` | 2 | treat exactly as `REFUSED` (fail closed) |

---

Step 1 — Collect Parameters

**Business Partner Details**

| Parameter | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | BP number | Business Partner number (blank = auto-assign on create) | `14` | | BP role | Role key (only for Create) | `FLCU01` | | BP grouping | Grouping key (only for Create, blank = default) | `0010` | | Field values | Field values per tab (see format below) | See Step 2 |

**Common BP Role Keys:**

| Key | Description | |---|---| | `000000` | Business Partner (Gen.) | | `FLCU01` | Customer | | `FLCU00` | FI Customer | | `FLVN01` | Purchase Vendor | | `FLVN00` | FI Vendor | | `BUP002` | Prospect | | `CRM000` | Sold-To Party |

---

Step 2 — Prepare Field Definition File

The field definition file is a tab-separated text file that specifies which fields to fill on each Business Partner tab. Format:

SECTION<TAB>FIELD_NAME<TAB>VALUE
  • **SECTION**: Tab panel ID (`TAB_01`–`TAB_14`) for General Data view fields
  • **FIELD_NAME**: SAP field name (e.g., `BUT000-NAME_ORG1`, `ADDR1_DATA-CITY1`)
  • **VALUE**: The value to set. For ComboBox fields use the key. For checkboxes use `X`/`1` (checked) or empty/`0` (unchecked)
  • Lines starting with `#` are comments. Blank lines are skipped.

**Tab Panel IDs (General Data View):**

| Tab ID | Tab Name | Key Fields | |---|---|---| | `TAB_01` | Address | `BUT000-NAME_ORG1` (Name 1), `BUT000-NAME_ORG2` (Name 2), `BUT000-NAME_ORG4` (Name 3), `BUS000FLDS-TITLE_MEDI` (Title ComboBox), `BUT000-TITLE_LET` (Salutation), `BUS000FLDS-BU_SORT1_TXT` (Search Term), `ADDR1
