Customer Vendor Integration CVI

The Introduction of the SAP Business Partner Concept to the SAP Application Landscape is essential to

- make use of innovative and intelligent robotic process automation functions already available in SAP 6.0

- use S/4HANA at all (migration is mandatory since simplified data model is based on Business Partner as a central

data object)

Business Partners

• Customer/vendor

integration

mandatory

• Migration before

conversion


Customer Vendor Integration CVI

The Introduction of the SAP Business Partner Concept to the SAP Application Landscape in 2020 allows

- the Business and IT Organization to prepare for the transfer of the old „SAP ERP data and process model“ to the

S/4HANA based process and data model

- makes way for the early use and adaption of the process automation features and functionalities of S/4HANA

- ensures a lower complexity of the SAP conversion effort and process on the way to S/4HANA
