Hai,

VBPA is the table for partner function

Partner functions are different roles when you do a business transaction. You have a main customer (SOLD TO PARTY), who places a order to deliver goods at a specific location(SHIP TO PARTY) and will ask you to send the invoice to finance detpt (BILL TO PARTY). Each of these are configured as partner functions.

I think for a given order, VBPA will have the partner functions.
