Actually i would like to under more business aspect while configuring business partner.
Further i have not understood so far how to identify business partner role for a particular transaction. SAP list is very large. I am working in CFM.
Further i could gather my business partner can be vendor or customer. what is the relationship of business partner, customer and vendor. Is it necessary to maintain separate master record for each master. Is it possible to maintain vendor master and customer master using business partner.
thanks

<b>"how to identify business partner role for a particular transaction" - To answer your question</b> it is determined by partner detrmination procedure.The partner determination procedure is attached to transaction category as well as to Item category. In the partner determination procedure it is mentioned how that partner will be dermined like it can come from the BP of the precedding document (say you are creating the contract from Quotation) etc. So now when you are executing that transaction..say creating contract..that partner determination procedure will be called and the correponsing BP will be determined.
<b>To answer you last question</b> those are the BP Roles like for leasing industry it could be Dealer, Distributor, Employee, Customer etc...similarly vendor etc...now the relationship is maintained through Business Partner Relationships like for a BP you can mention "has contact person" - xyz, "has Dealer" - abc, "has Distributor" - def.
<b>Hope it answers all your query.</b>
Thanks,

Business partner can be any individual or a corporate who is interacted with your business on some way or other. The master data of the Business partner will essentially include their name and address and other contact details.
A business partner can take various role. For e.g you can enter into a contract with person who is a business partner (assigned to role; tenant) to lease out your property, In this case you would also create cutomer account to post his dues. Besides their can be a guarantor for the rent, In this case, the persson/company giving guarantee, will be created as a business partner and assigned the role "Guarantor".
