Definition

When you create a business associate, there is a link to SAP Core SD vendor or customer master records. Here, you specify either vendor or customer as the record in SAP Core that this business associate is linked to.

The reason that you link an owner (business associate) to a vendor or customer is that when creating an owner, you create some of the attributes in the BA creation transaction, and some of the attributes come from the vendor, from SD.

- In PRA-Ownership, you almost always link to a vendor.

- Outside Ownership, it is possible to link to a customer. Examples of customers in PRA would be: marketing representatives, transporters, and operators.

Each BA type takes a specific owner type (vendor or customer).

The following is a list of the possible BA types, and whether they are vendors or customers:

- Billing interest = Customer

- Carried interest = Vendor

- Non-working interest = Vendor

- Operator = Customer

- Purchaser = Customer

- Remitter = Customer

-Shipper = Vendor

- Seller = Customer

- Taxing authority = Vendor

- Transporter = Vendor

- Working interest = Vendor
