Business Partner Role
SAP Business Partner Screening for SAP S/4 HANA is used to centrally manage
master data for business partners, customers, and vendors. Business Partner
Application allows you to create, maintain, and manage business partners. You can also
use this to perform integration with other functions and data exchange.
You can use the BP Role to carry out a business classification of a BP role on the basis
of business transaction. The attributes of the BP role depend on the particular
transaction involved.

In S/4 HANA we have three different categories


A Business Partner can be
 Organization
 Person- Individual
 Group- Group of person or partners

Account Group
An account group is a named collection of accounts. CSA uses account groups in
financial statements to increase their flexibility and to enable you to use a financial
statement for multiple clients. Some account group names are pre-defined, but account
group definitions are client specific.

Customer Account Group


Customer account groups in SAP are used to classify customers into business partner
functions that fit best the nature of the business transaction. Customer account groups
control the customer hierarchy containing the customer master record. It determines the
role of a customer and customer master data.

Customer Vender Integration


Customer/Vendor Integration involves the following process phases: You process the
business partner or customer/vendor. ... If a customer/vendor master record is assigned
to the business partner, then the system updates the customer/vendor data in the
business partner at the same time, irrespective of role.
The Customer/Vendor Integration (CVI) component ensure the synchronization between
the BP object and the Customer/Vendor objects. Aside from the mandatory Business
Partner target approach in S/4HANA, it is also the approach used in both SAP Master
Data Governance (MDG) versions: MDG on S/4HANA as well as MDG on ERP.
