Use

In this activity, you specify for which object type you want to be able to assign business partners and which roles this partner can have (for example, role category Caretaker - application category Buildings; see also Requirements).

Requirements

You have defined all the necessary roles in the Define BP Roles activity.

Standard settings

Activities

First assign the roles that you require to each object type. This defines at which level you want to process partners in certain roles. For example, depending on where you want to process the caretaker in your system, you could assign this role to the business entity, the building, and/or the rental object.
You can also differentiate within the object type for the following object types:

  • Architectural objects (according to object type)
  • Rental objects (according to usage type)
  • Real estate contracts (according to contract type)

If a business partner role is valid for this object type regardless of this criterion (for example, clerk for all contracts regardless of the contract type), leave the differentiation criterion empty for these object types. Enter roles that you require only for specific differentiation criteria also only for these criteria (for example, landlord with vendor account only for contract types that represent external lease-in). You also have to enter those roles that are set up as roles for the main contractual partner for the contract type for the respective contract type.

When you have assigned all roles, define the following attributes for the respective role and object type:

  • Cardinality
    You use this to define how many business partners can be assigned simultaneously to one object with this role. If there is no entry in this field, then any number of business partners with this role can be assigned.
  • Indicator: Required
    This specification is time-dependent: If a role is defined as mandatory, then one business partner (or several, depending on the cardinality) must be assigned with this role within the validity period of the application.

    The role of the main contractual partner is always mandatory and must have cardinality 1.

  • Business partner grouping
    The business partner grouping determines which number range is used to create a business partner. If the number range is external, the partner number (may also be alphanumeric) has to be specified when you create a new partner.
    Note that for customer and vendor roles the account group of the automatically created customer/vendor also depends on the partner grouping.
  • Address type:
    You can also enter an address type for each application category/role category. This address type is then proposed from the application as the address type of the standard address when you create a partner.
  • Copy object address
    You can specify here whether an address assigned to the object or contract is to be assigned to the business partner to be maintained.
  • Indicator: Multiple Assignment
    If the indicator is selected, multiple assignment of the same business partner is possible in this role also if the assignment periods overlap.
  • Partner assignment variant
    The assignment of a business partner always involves a search in order to avoid multiple assignments or if business partner data must not be maintained together with the real estate objects or contracts for organizational reasons. The search can be carried out for all roles or for a specific role.
  • Search help
    The search for business partners is carried out based on the entries on the search screen by default, and if applicable, according to the partner assignment variant for a specific role. Alternatively, a customer-specific search can be used here for each application type/role.
  • Business partner role grouping
    If a business partner role grouping is specified, a standard search is carried out and the business partner is no longer edited/displayed under the BP role but under the BP role grouping. A prerequisite for this is that the BP role is assigned to the BP role grouping. The assignment to the contract/object itself is still made under the assigned role.
    To be able to use this function, you have to activate the subfunction BP02 - GP Role Grouping.
