Figure 14: Business Partner: Role Definition

A business partner role corresponds to a business context in which a business

partnercanappear. Abusinesspartnercanhaveseveralroles,suchasacontract

partner(FI-CA),contactperson,prospect(potentialcustomer),orbusinesspartner

(general).

Theexampleaboveshowsthatbusinesspartnerscanassumeseveralroles(contact

person, contract partner) depending on the business process in which they are

involved.

BP rolesconsist of blocks(attributes) known asdata sets. Theseareshown as

little black boxes in the graphic above.

SAP Business Partner offers an open infrastructure. This means that other

components (ERP core, industry components, components of development

partners, and a customer-specific components) can easily add their own

application-specific business partner data.

AsofERP2005,businesspartnersmustexistinthebusinessroleMKKforrole

category MKK. If youusetime-dependent businesspartnerroles, notethatthe

MKK business role for role categoryMKK cannot have a time limit. It must

alwayshaveavalidityperiodfromtoday'sdatetoDecember31,9999. Youmay

not, and cannot, restrict the validity of thisrole.

A business partner group is a classification of business partners according to

criteria that the user can freely define.

The procedure in Customizing isas follows:

• Definenumber rangesfor thebusinesspartners

• Definegroupingsforthebusinesspartnerandassignnumberranges

Number range intervalsand a type of number assignment are defined for each

number range:
