Created BP and vendor as same: 100001001

If want to make any field as mandatory or optional or hide based for BP role we can do in below path:

Here in the below screen account group is automatically selected because we have linked grouping and
accounting in customer/vendor integration

Or else you get the error as below because different account groups have different number ranges
