Business Context and Use

This process component is used for saving and managing all customer information.

The most important business partner data includes:

  • Name and address of the business partner

  • Supplementary data dependent on the business partner category (for example, date of birth, legal form) for all application areas (for example, industry keys for marketing selections or regulatory reporting)

  • Relationships (for example borrower entities, group structures)

  • Business partner roles

  • Legitimation data and other partner numbers

  • Credit standing data/data provided by credit reference agencies/scoring results/marketing clusters

  • Financial statement data or analyses

Business partner relationships can be linked in many different ways. Functions are available to form borrower entities and units of risk. Customers appear in defined roles for a bank (such as account holder, borrower or guarantor, for example). For this reason, the role is a vital component within the concept of SAP Business Partner.
