How to Update PartyNumber for the Existed Party

We may have some use cases that we want to update PARTY_NUMBER values for the existed customers so that we have the aligned values with the boundary systems. 

In this article, I am going to discuss how we can update PARTY_NUMBER with profile option setting and SOAP API to achieve this.

Please note: You can also update PARTY_NUMBER (Registry ID) in AR Manage Customer UI if you prefer to take UI approach.

First, we need to set the value for profile option HZ_GENERATE_PARTY_NUMBER to 'Auto numbering, update allowed'.

Then, we can use SOAP API to update the value for PARTY_NUMBER.

WSDL:

https://FusionPod/crmService/FoundationPartiesOrganizationService?WSDL

Operation:

updateOrganization

Request Payload (I only include header/body. They need to be embedded in Envelope):

###########

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <typ:updateOrganization>

         <typ:organizationParty>

            <org:PartyId>100000006397773</org:PartyId>

            <org:OrganizationProfile>

               <org:PartyId>100000006397773</org:PartyId>

               <org:PartyNumber>1234-Adam</org:PartyNumber>

            </org:OrganizationProfile>       

         </typ:organizationParty>

      </typ:updateOrganization>

   </soapenv:Body>

###########

With the above, you can update PARTY_NUMBER to your preferred value. Please test the end to end flow to ensure this value change doesn't impact your business process.

Till next time,
