In this IMG activity, you define business partner functions, in which business partners may be linked to entity objects in Collateral Management. Partner functions determine the business purpose in which the business partners are associated with assets, collateral agreements or receivables.

Each partner function must be assigned to a partner function category. Additionally, each business partner must be assigned to a partner function. The assignment of a partner function to a partner function category determines the internal behaviour of business partner data in Collateral Management.

The assignment to the business partner category is used internally for performing checks and retrieving partner functions based on the category. Some of these functions include:

  • Determining if the receivables belong to an external bank.
  • To show the details In the Business Partner Overview report. In the section Collaterals Given, all the collateral agreements for the business partner function category Collateral Giver are shown. In the section Credits Taken, all the receivables for the business partner function category Borrower are shown.

Example

Some possible partner functions are

  • Beneficiary
  • Collateral holder (custodian)
  • Collateral taker (creditor)
  • Notary (public)
  • Collateral giver (debtor)
  • Guarantor
