4. Go to Customers Work Center.

SAP Sales Cloud as a leaner cloud solution is designed to support only a reduced set of data compared to the full-fledged on premise solutions. Therefore we only support one telephone number per type (fax, land line, mobile) per customer. When multiple telephone numbers of one type are provided, the phone number marked as default in the usage section will be stored in SAP Sales Cloud. Since there can be different phone number types (land line, mobile, fax), the service WSDL has to support more than one phone number element which are then distinguished via the content of the usage element.

This is designed behavior. If you requires more phone numbers, you might need to create a custom extension to support further data elements filled via custom middleware logic.
