Master Data
What is Customer Master?
Master data for customers, with general, company-code, and sales area views; maintained via Business Partner in S/4HANA.
Classic tables KNA1, KNB1, and KNVV still exist in S/4HANA, synchronized by CVI. Sales area data controls pricing, shipping, and billing. Partner functions such as sold-to and ship-to are defined here.
