Partners in Activities

The business partners that you enter in the activity are important for controlling what kind of information you see within the activity. They also control in whose calendar and worklist the activities appear.

Every user who works with activities must be entered as a business partner in the system. This ensures that the system can display all the activities that he or she is involved in.
Caution
When you create the employee responsible as a business partner, you must ensure that his or her user name is entered in the business partner master data.
Features
