PPO Usage

Hi Experts

Iam facing a problem in linking customer / vendor to business partner.

After refereing to SAP Note 956054 - BP CVI Customer-Vendor integration. It talks about activating Post Processing Order. At the same time in this note in point 1.2 it talks about activating PPO in test environemnt and in the same point it advise not activate PPO in productive environment.

My question is can be proceed with the CVI without using / or activating PPO.

thanks & regards
