Now we are going to discuss about the baddies in business partners. So the baddies helps you to populate data to build functionality where you can, you know, give an error message where something is based on logic and not based on, you know, the data on or a customized version of the logic. So you can, you can put your logic So suppose I'm just giving you an example, you have a requirement in your company where you can use a particular type of payment methods for some companies and not for all so in these cases, the you can restrict it, or you can set up a payment method only for some types of vendors, and not every vendor so you can tweak it, you can do a lot of things where suppose you want to mark a vendor for deletion. And before that, it checks the poll checks the database of all the open POS An open invoice and finds that there is a there is a record that is still being processed.

So, it doesn't make sense to you mark it for deletion because it will hurt you later on. So, so it can give you an error message for for for the type of mark for deletion. Similarly for customers you can think of anything like that which can fit so, these are if you notice these are different bodies for doing data soundman banking data premium cards, form of address and defaults for creating data from BP to customer when, okay, so these are really useful bodies, okay. And then these are other bodies extension vendor extension, where you can check where you can do updates and all those things. These are there for both the vendor as well as the customers after that. We have these things called layout change where you can do to layout change for a person Particular particular particular BPM DFA This is related with vendors okay so you can do layout change based on that based on the type of accounting group or the layout okay so here the next one here you can change this is related with as D that's more related with customers where you can change the sales or shipping or where you want to position whether you want to position in the first tab or the second tab and all those things you can control it here Okay.

Then this is a very important transaction that as for HANA has given this is program BP delete data. Privacy destroy destroys business partners data for data privacy is an easy way to reduce the number of unused active business partners that might you might have added due to acquisition of another company. These keeps the database clean and improves performance. In our introduction, we have already discussed this thing where there will be cases where you are going to put garbage in the system, but this tool helps you to clean the garbage, okay. So, you might want to run this quite often means every year or something to check what is there initially, you know, you will not want to execute this, because you know, you will have activities offenders later later on in the year, but probably after two or three years of in your system, you should run it this regularly I will.

For my recommendation, I will ask you to run it. Just kidding, meet once a month and just check. And before deleting, of course, you need to verify some of the steps but you know, at least you have this tool to clean up your system from garbage. The next one is the synchronization for Pete Okay, so this, we can synchronize the thing between vendors customer and VP the replication is done okay. So, this is another business partner change documents report for customers change he tells you what are the changes done on the customer side Okay, this one it checks the vendor business VP vendor check when the check transaction or certification should so if you see it clearly says vendor business partner consistency check report. The next one is the customer check transaction which checks the customer business partner consistency check report where it will check for consistency whether the replication was done properly whether the number if you have said in your in your process that the business partner will be the same name as your vendor or your customer, whether that number is the same or not.

The next one will be evaluation of business partner roles. So through this you can know what are the business partner roles that are coming Good okay sometimes you know you may not use this these are optional features Okay. Then there is this B evaluation of business partner data where you can check the business partner related data based on company code then you have the business partner relationship based on incoming and outgoing relationship. So, this is something in going means it's coming from another system, inbound dogs or you know xi and outgoing means we are giving data out to another system. The next is business partner change documents here you can see the type of changes that are done for partner addresses. Okay, change document to VP and then change documents partners.

Okay. The next one is another change document transaction where you can see the business partner changes based on date and user who changed it Okay. Then this is another thing where you have already created Commander in the system and you want to convert into BP. So you just create the vendor and then you have the vendor existing vendor and you just click on create business partner okay the next portion is linking the BP to a vendor you have an existing VP and you have one existing vendor you just want to link it together okay. Now creating VP from customer okay the same thing like the vendor, you have the customer already created, you want to create a VP from customer the same thing link VP to customer where you have created customer you want to link to a VP existing VP. So this is another where when you have to you can do the customer screen configuration where you can say which are the addresses where what are the different fields you can use for the addresses, okay, now this is this is quite important.

Okay, maybe customer field grouping activity where you can dis you can basically mention what are the fields you want to activate or which are other fields you can be display only which how which are the fields which can be hidden, which can be which should be mandatory and you can populate those features for each field we will discuss all of these in details in the in the actual system. The same thing with an authorization you can do business partner customer field group fields with authorization. Okay, so, that covers all the configuration please and we will cover these in more details, each and every topic in the systems separately there
