## 13.13.4.2.2.3.4  Information Retrieval
Policy Management uses the Information Retrieval Framework (IRF) to retrieve information about the business partner data that is stored in policies, contracts, and applications. For more information, see SAP Note 2678890 .
In the following table, you can find a list of all standard ILM objects (and the corresponding responsibilities in the IRF) which provide business partner data:
| ILM Object       | Description of ILM Object                                                       | Responsibility (IRF)    |

| MVA_ACE      | FS-PM Auto Archive Central Call              | MVA_ACE                |
The following standard ILM objects do not provide business partner IDs:
- PM0\_ABN\_A (FS-PM Archive Accounting Component Account Balances)
- PM0\_ABN\_N (FS-PM Archive Accounting Component Non Cash Flow Documents)
- PM0\_ABN\_R (FS-PM Archive Accounting Component RI Documents)
- PM0\_ALVAL (FS-PM Archive Guarantee Values)
- PM0\_CTX (FS-PM Archive Process Context)
- MVA\_ACE (FS-PM Auto Archive Central Call)
These standard ILM objects provide information about policies, contracts, applications, and licenses, but no information as to which business partner this data belongs. Consequently the IRF does not support business partner evaluation for these ILM objects directly.
Please note the following on these ILM objects (that do not provide business partner IDs directly):
- You can retrieve all relevant information about these ILM objects by using ILM object PM0\_ABP\_CONTRACT and then starting the Inquiry process.
- If you add a business partner ID to one of these ILM objects, you must create a new data model for this ILM object in the IRF.
- For more information about the MVA\_ACE ILM object, see SAP Note 2683283 .
## Note to ILM Object PM0\_ABPDC - Adding Partner IDs to Table /PM0/ ABDCSUBJCTX
In table /PM0/ABDCSUBJCTX , business partners maybe stored in the XML field. Therefore, SAP provides the function module /PM0/ABX\_IRF\_SUBJCTX\_DCC\_GUID which uses method SELECT\_ABDCSUBJCTX of class /PM0/CL\_ABX\_IRF\_SERVICES that handles the occurrences of PARTNER\_ID and PARTN2\_ID (see code lines with Create find condition for field XML comment in method SELECT\_ABDCSUBJCTX ).
If you add further or other partner IDs to table /PM0/ABX\_IRF\_SUBJCTX\_DCC\_GUID , you must create a function module similar to /PM0/ABX\_DTINF\_BP\_ABDCSUBJCTX . Ensure that Create find condition for field XML is implemented in the same way as in method SELECT\_ABDCSUBJCTX .
In your BAdI-Implementation, you have to do the following:
- Remove the link of FS-PM standard (from BUT000-PARTNER to /PM0/ABDCSUBJCTX-XML via function module /PM0/ABX\_IRF\_SUBJCTX\_DCC\_GUID ).
- Add your function module for this link (from BUT000-PARTNER to /PM0/ABDCSUBJCTX-XML via function module &lt;Customer Function Module&gt;).
