SyncCustomerParty

OAGIS BOD combining the Sync verb with the CustomerParty noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT PARTIN and X12 838 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Master data domain.

BOD purpose

The SyncCustomerParty BOD distributes the customer master (CRM → ERP, ERP → data warehouse). It carries all identification, address, commercial terms, segmentation, and contact attributes.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, SyncCustomerParty stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• CustomerPartyHeader — PartyID, name, status.
• Location — billing / shipping addresses.
• Classification — commercial segment, industry.
