The solution is, create a BP of a person and add contact person role BUP001 with details. 

Now, go to relationships and maintain relationship category as TBUR001 Is contact for and mention the main BP to which you would like to add contact person. A new contact person number will be generated here at the corner of the row, copy it. 

Now, go to main BP --> customer role> sales and distribution, add the copied contact person number in the partner function tab and save it. 

Now create sales order and see the patner functions at header level. You will find contact person number in the tab. 

If there two contact persons are maintained in a BP, while creating sales order, system will throw pop up to choose the contact person from those two and populates the contact person in partners tab.
