SAP HANA - Default Values in Business Partners (BP).

Most of the times, client comes up with a requirement wherein they want some fields to be defaulted in Business Partner. One such requirement is to default the communication language to 'EN'.

Step 2: Create a new function module ZBUP_BUPA_EVENT_ISSTA (or probably any name in the customer name space Y* or Z*) with the following source code (only):

FUNCTION zbup_bupa_event_issta.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local Interface:

DATA: lwa_default TYPE busdefault.

lwa_default-langu = sy-langu.

CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_BUPA_FIELDVALUES_SET'
EXPORTING
i_busdefault = lwa_default.

ENDFUNCTION.

Save the function module and activate the same as well as function group.

Step 3: Navigate to BUS7 transaction code and select event ‘ISSTA'. Double-Click on 'Event -> Function modules' shown in the tree control located to the left side of the screen.
