Purpose
In the Channel Management Partner Classifications, the Partner Programis maintained in dependency to the Partner Type, which means you coulduse the same Partner Program ID for different Partner Types.
Because the field Partner Type has not been contained in the PartnerProgram text table, it has not been possible to maintain different textsfor Partner Programs with the same ID.
The field Partner Type (CP_TYPE) has been added to the Partner Programtext table (CRM_CHM_PROG_T). This XPRA does necessary conversions.

Prerequisites
The XPRA does only have to run, if you maintained Partner Programs inthe Customizing. The XPRA checks for each client, if theres customizing,that has to be processed, so there are no prerequesites, you have tofulfil.

Activities
This XPRA creates a new entry in the text field and automaticallyassigns the Partner Type. The original entry (without a maintainedPartner Type) will be deleted.
If the same Partner Program (ID) is assigned to different Partner Typesand the descriptions of these Partner Programs should be different, youhave to manually change the descrioptions after the XPRA has beencompleted succesfully.
