Business Partner and Customer-Vendor Integration Preparation

Keep this: job aid

Business partner and CVI card

• BP leads; customer and supplier are roles (FLCU00/FLCU01, FLVN00/FLVN01); category is fixed at creation.
• CVI phases: preparation, synchronization (both in ECC), conversion, post-conversion.
• Cockpit: CVI_COCKPIT (Read Me, Preparation, CVI Load, Upgrade Preparation); cookbook in SAP Note 2713963.
• Decide first: numbering and overlaps, merging customer-vendor pairs, person vs organization.
• Customizing order: BUCF ranges, groupings, sync options and PPO, account group mapping, contacts, value mappings, BP_CVI_IMG_CHK.
• Cleanse with the consistency check by run ID; track the long tail; keep bank data controls.
• Load: freeze maintenance, small batch, MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT, MDS_PPO2, completeness check.
• Reconcile counts: KNA1 vs CVI_CUST_LINK, LFA1 vs CVI_VEND_LINK, contacts vs contact links.
• After conversion: reverse direction, transport settings, retrain users, test B_BUPA_RLT/FDG restrictions negatively.
• Integration and Wave 2: BP web services between S/4HANA systems; Migrate Your Data (F3473) creates BPs.
