HI,

Generally, partner functions are the other partners linked to the sold-to, i.e. ship-to, bill-to & payer. the sold-to & ship-to have to be defined in the customer master and they are individual entities, where as the bill-to and payer are assigned to a particular customer.

hope this answers your query.

Hi Vinod,

This is a useful information. Can you please let me know as how customers are created via business partner concept. I am aware that if customer are created via business partner, same is also updated in customer master.

If would be great if there is some documentation for the same.

Many Thanks.

Regards
