Business Partner:
There are redundant object models in the traditional ERP system. Here the vendor master and customer
Master is used. The (mandatory) target approach in S/4HANA is the Business Partner approach.
Business Partner is now capable of centrally managing master data for business partners, customers, and
vendors. With current development, BP is the single point of entry to create, edit, and display master data
for business partners, customers, and vendors
Dependencies/Pre-requisites
Business partner has been mandatory with S4 Hana Enterprise Management version i.e 1511 and
1610 , 1709 & old transactions related to Vendor and customers have become obsolete.

With SAP S/4 HANA a new Output Management approach is in place. The complete configuration differs
from the configuration that is used when output management is based on NAST (condition technique).
The configuration is based on BRF+. In SAP S/4 HANA, the target architecture is based on Adobe
Document Server and Adobe Forms only. For the form determination rules (along with other output
parameters) BRF+ functionality is used
Prerequisites –
Uploading XML for importing output determination application in BRF+ (Ref note 2248229).
BRF+ is active and usable
Background RFC configuration has been set up
Adobe Document Server is available – ADS needs to be implemented to allow SAP to fetch
PDF properties for rendering output form
KPRO has been maintained – KPRO allows to store PDF attachments on physical location.
