Mass Load and Mass Maintenance of business partner data provides capabilities to load and update multiple business partner master data records at a time.
Data Quality Remediation provides capabilities to validate and remediate business partner master data
To load records, you import data from file. The system starts the checking, cleansing, validation, and activation processes.
To update records, you select the fields and records you want to change. Once you enter your changes, the system provides statistics on the changed fields
and validates the data. You check the validated data and activate it for use in business transactions.
To remediate records, you select the fields and records you want to validate. After the validation, you correct the erroneous data and activate it.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each
process step, report, or item is covered in its own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the
process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be added.
Note Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a
different notation, enter values as appropriate.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and busi-
ness conditions.

In order to load a Business Partner relationship file you need to have active Business Partner in the system. So as a preparation, first you will need to create
active Business Partners in the system.
1. Start the app ‘Maintain Business Partner’ under ‘Business Partner’ tile group.
2. Create multiple business partner organizations and persons. In the execution part of the test case you will create relationships between these partners.
Maintain general and address data.
3. Save business partners and note down the BP ID’s
From section 2.3.1 you can download the file template for BP Relationships. For the mass creation use case you can use the example file BPREL_Mass_Cre-
ate.xlsx. Adapt your file by replacing the Key values from your Active Business Partners. By doing this you have a file which defines the relationship data for
your active Business Partners.
