Customer and Vendor Integration:

In the Following Document I will explain the step by step guide for the customer and Vendor
Integration with Business partner which is a mandatory process after the release of S/4HANA version
1511.

Simplification List Item Description • There are redundant object models in the traditional ERP
system. Here the vendor master and customer master is used. The (mandatory) target approach in
SAP S/4HANA is the Business Partner approach (Customer-Vendor Integration [CVI]). • Business
Partner is now capable of centrally managing master data for business partners, customers, and
vendors. With current development, BP is the single point of entry to create, edit, and display
master data for business partners, customers, and vendors. • The specific tables for customer data
(KNA1) and vendor data (LFA1) remain available and are not impacted.

Business Impact • Only SAP Business Suite customer with C/V integration in place can move to SAP
S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 (Conversion approach). • It´s recommended but not mandatory
that BuPa ID and Customer-ID / Vendor ID are the same. Note: In case of overlapping number ranges
for Customer and Vendor in Business Suite start system additional number range alignment is
required! • The user interface for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 is transaction BP. The
specific transaction codes to maintain customer/vendor separately like known from SAP Business
Suite, are not available within SAP S/4HANA.

Required and Recommended Action(s) • Execute the related conversion pre-checks. Adaption
required in dependency to the pre-check results • Necessary CVI Business Partner transformation
customizing settings and checks must be performed • Remove and avoid inconsistent customizing
and inconsistent customer data (for example: Missing customizing tax types or inconsistent
customer data like e-mail addresses without @-sign)
