Business Partner Requirements and Configuration

blog.masterdataaficionado.com/business-partner-requirements-and-configuration/

S/4HANA Business Partner master data design requires a structured approach to track
the many moving parts.

In this 7-minute video, I share my template for doing just that. It’s a small insight into the
process of crafting a master data design for Business Partner.

I also share how I quickly analyze Business Partner configuration in any SAP system-
client. That’s super valuable. For this task, MDA Workbench is the secret enabler.

The output (analysis) looks just like the input (requirements). That’s because these are
two sides of the same coin.

Over time, I’ve got to build up functional requirements and express them in a way that
properly enables accurate configuration. And then I need to be able to quickly evaluate
the Business Partner configuration in any system-client … on demand, and repeatedly.
With a few minutes of effort, not hours!

What you’re going to see fits this specific use case, but the concept is totally generic — I
use this approach for all kinds of configuration and master data analysis. And now so can
you.

The files used in creating this video can be downloaded as a Zip file named

Here are the files in the zip file:

BP-CONFIG.mdb
A Microsoft Access Database that contains queries, but no data.
BPConfig-20211222B.mdawb
MDA Workbench project file. This specifies which tables and fields will be
transferred from an SAP system-client to a Local System Database (i.e. a
Microsoft Access Database_.
BP-CONFIG – HE4-400.mdb
A Microsoft Access Database that contains queries and data. This is the result
after data is transferred.
EXPORT_20211222-102251.XLSX
An example export of 4 Queries to Microsoft Excel.
The worksheet named RPT_BP_GROUPINGS_DETAIL is my objective for
expressing Business Partner design. This is the content that I want to build up
over time, as my Business Partner design becomes clear in detail. I want to
create the spreadsheet this way — one row per Business partner grouping,
with details all the way down to number ranges and customer and vendor
account groups — because with nothing more than this spreadsheet as my
guide, I can configure these main parts of my Business Partner design. Ready
for unit test!
RPT_BP_GROUPINGS_DETAIL_20211222-102224.XLSX
An example export of 1 Query to Microsoft Excel.
