Description
===========
Created a Service Request for CA Service Catalog via web service. 
The web service user is also member of the customer BU. 
The created request contains an INcorrect BU. 
It contains the Root-Bu in stead of the BU, set in the web services.

Work around
===========
N/A

Analysis:
=========
1 In the SC-UI admin/users, create a new user bu1cat set for BU=non-root-bu, Role=Administrator. 
2 In SC-UI Home/Requests, create a new/dummy request. Any offering will do.
3a In SOAPUI, login with spadmin.
3b In SOAPUI, Set the property 'domain' in the web services method: 
<requestData xsi:type="xsd:string">name:6-TextAreaNewLine!req_by_user_id:spadmin!req_for_user_id:bu1cat!domain:non-root-bu</requestData> 
The newly created request (by web services) shows the correct domain/business unit.
>>> The issue for this case:
4 In SC/admin/users, change the Role for into 'Request Manager' (same BU).
<requestData xsi:type="xsd:string">name:6-TextAreaNewLine!req_by_user_id:spadmin!req_for_user_id:bu1cat!domain:non-root-bu</requestData> 
And then the request get created with the ROOT-BU.
Which should have been set to 'non-root-bu' as written in the web services.
