Master Data
What is Supplier Master?
Master data for suppliers, also called vendors, maintained as a Business Partner with supplier roles in S/4HANA.
Classic tables LFA1, LFB1, and LFM1 are synchronized via CVI. Bank details are a high-risk field requiring dual control. Payment terms and methods drive the payment run.
