Use
This ODS object is used for updating consolidated InfoObjects for customers (0G_CUSTOM), vendors (0GN_VENDOR) and companies (0GN_COMPANY) (see also,
Consolidated InfoObjects for BP, Product and Product Category). For the system to see whether a business partner is dealing with a customer, a vendor or a company, different data loaded for the business partner has to first be collected in an ODS object.For example, if address attributes are loaded for the business partner, the system has to recognize whether a data update can take place into customer (0GN_CUSTOM), vendor (0GN_VENDOR) or company (0GN_COMPANY). This depends on other attributes that are loaded from other DataSources.
