Customer-Vendor Integration

Discover the power of seamless Customer-Vendor Integration with SAP. In SAP, Customer-Vendor Integration (CVI) is a feature used specifically in SAP S/4HANA. It allows you to manage customer and vendor data in a central location using a single record called a Business Partner. This is different from earlier SAP ERP systems, where separate records were needed for customers and vendors.

Here are some key benefits of Customer-Vendor Integration in SAP:

• Reduced Data Redundancy: By using a single Business Partner record, you eliminate the need to create and maintain duplicate data for the same business entity.
• Improved Data Consistency: Changes made to a Business Partner record are automatically reflected in both the customer and vendor data, ensuring consistency across your system.
• Simplified Master Data Management: With CVI, you only need to maintain one set of data for each business partner, streamlining the process of creating and updating customer and vendor information.

Here’s a breakdown of how CVI works:

1. Business Partner as the Central Record: A Business Partner acts as the core record in CVI. It stores general information about a business entity, such as name, address, and contact details.
2. Extending Business Partner: You can extend the Business Partner record to include customer-specific or vendor-specific data. This is done by assigning roles (like customer or vendor) to the Business Partner.
3. Synchronization: The CVI framework synchronizes data between the Business Partner record and the customer/vendor master tables (KNA1/LFA1) in SAP.
