HI Rakesh,
There are 3 business partner types in CRM..
1. Organization : An entity for representing an Org Unit
2. Person : It can be an employee, contact person etc of Org .
3. Group. : A logical set of people like Sales pple, Marketing, etc
Each has its own underlying data base tables and have diff APIs to maintain it.

A business partner can be a person, a group of people, or an organization, representing a business interest.
Person
The categorization of a business partner as a person (for example, a private person), a group or an organization (legal person or part of a legal person, for example, department) is known as the business partner category.
Group
A group is the depiction of a shared living arrangement, a married couple, or an executive board.
When a group is created, the corresponding partner group type must be entered.
Organization
The organization represents units such as a company, a division of a company, a club, or an association.
In addition to a legal person, parts of a legal person can be mapped as a business partner. Organization acts as an umbrella term to depict all conceivable occurrences in daily business activities. In this way, a subsidiary or a purchasing department represents only parts of a legal person.
The business partner category must be defined when creating a new business partner.
A business partner can come into contact with an enterprise in various situations. Depending on which business processes the business partner is involved in; completely different information about the business partner may be needed. For example, for the goods delivery transaction, information about the shipping and delivery conditions is required; for the sales order transaction, delivery dates and payment conditions are relevant.
You can create more than one business partner role for one business partner; general information, such as name, address, and bank details, must be entered only once.
All applications or industry business solutions using the SAP Business Partner function provide special business partner roles.
Each partner role contains various data sets:
· General data
· CRM-specific data
· Relationships

with these business partner types, you can then assign them to roles that you want them to have. Say, for example "Contact Person", "Ship-to-Party" etc....
