Supplementary Documentation - BU_PARTNER0001

Procedure

Create a Business Partner

Depending on the type of the number assignment, the business partner number can either be assigned automatically by the SAP system or you can enter this manually. It is also possible to use the number from an external system.

The grouping that has been selected is decisive for the number assignment. Via the number range this determines

  • whether the business partner number is assigned automatically or manually
  • the interval in which the number must lie
