Business Partner as leading object in ECC

[Seb123]

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a preproject for and S/4HANA conversion and in doing so we need to activate the CVI.

As you probably know usually the BP will only get activated technically as it is a prerequisite for the conversion and the customer/supplier remain the leading object while still on ECC.

My client now requests to use the Business Partner as the leading object on ECC already, but I cannot find any documentation on that, nor do I have any experience with it.

Does anyone of you know if it is even possible to make use of the Business Partner as Customer/Supplier before going to S/4HANA and what the consequences would this have on the ECC system?

Hope you can help me out with this, thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Sebastian

It's possible. But it's not necessarily advisable.
