Hi Niveditha,
I didn't get your question, business partner and customer in ISU are same.
When you create a business partner in ISU you can make settings where customer is also created automatically for SD component.

Hi,
Yes Business Partner is a broad term used in ISU for various roles. A business Partner can be a Customer for company, an employee or even a vendor.
It depends on what role business partner has been given. Initially by default all Business Partners are assigned a default role "Business Partner (Gen.)". Later it can be changed to any role like Employee, Vendor, etc.
Business Partner with role "Contract Partner" is normally the end Customer which I believe you are referring to.
