SAP Customer/Vendor Integration (CVI)

Customer Vendor Integration

      CVI is separated into 2 part.


1. CVI Configuration in S4/HANA system
2. CVI Synchronization

CVI Configuration

In S4/HANA, If we want to make it Business Partner as a Leading Object to maintain Customer or Vendor then we must do CVI Configuration.

Limitation of Customer/Vendor objects without CVI

-> Only single address we can maintain for each customer or vendor.

      -> No relation supports between customer and vendor

      -> No time dependency data we can have

      -> In S4/HANA we have single business objects as ‘BP’.

      -> BP is capable of centrally managing master data of BP, Customer, Vendor

Customer

·       Customer is a BP to which we sell our Goods or Services.

·       Some customer information is specific to a company (Company code data) or sales unit (Sales area data).

Vendor

·       Vendor is a BP from which we buy goods or services.

·       Some vendor information is specific to a company (Company code data) or purchasing unit (Purchase area data).

CVI Complex Interface:

                            


Steps to Configure CVI:

Account Group:

·      πŸ‘‰Account group defines what kind of customer or vendor it is.
  πŸ‘‰It can be ship to party or it can be sold to party.
  πŸ‘‰So, depend on the account grouping it can be classified.

·  

Number Ranges:

2 Types of Number Ranges:

·       πŸ‘‰External Number Ranges: Externally giving number to objects or coming from external          system.

·       πŸ‘‰Internal Number Ranges: System will generate numbers.
