Dear Friends,
We have a Scenario where the same party happens to be both Supplier as well as Customer. SAP has not given such case in best practices as well. It is just mentioned in one of the test scripts that, in this case the BP number of both Vendor and customer shall be same.
May i know the steps to be followed while creating BP in such a case and how to do it?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi SatyaPrasad,
In the General Data section of the supplier fin acc role , tab Vendor : General Data , please maintain the Business partner code under General Data : Customer.
Similarly , in the General Data section of the customer fin acc role , tab Customer : General Data , please maintain the Business partner code under General Data : Supplier.
Then execute the line item reports and check if you can see all of them.

Dear Anirban, Thank you so much for the guidance. Now i am able to vendor / customer line items in a "Manage supplier line items" and "Manage customer line items" reports.
However, i am not able to proceed netting off both.
For example, i have posted supplier invoice of Rs.1,00,000 and a customer invoice of Rs.60,000. I have opened the application "Post outgoing payments" , in "open item selection" segment i can select either supplier or customer, but not both.
Thereby, in "open items" segment, i am able to see either supplier invoice of Rs.1,00,000 or customer invoice of Rs.60,000.
Unless i select both (as we normally do in on-premise system), i cannot net off and thereby cannot pay the balance of Rs.40,000.
Request you to kindly throw some light if you can suggest in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Hi SatyaPrasad,
It should work with that app also. I tried to test and it worked for me. But I had to execute the option under Account type supplier and customer multiple times . Also under "select more" I selected all the types of items. Then I could see all the line items. Please do not choose KZ as document type as it won;t be allow for customer line item. So I choose ZP and it worked for me.

Hi SatyaPrasad,
This is exactly the scenario for which SAP has introduced the Business Partner functionality. Your will need to create a unique Business partner master data for the entity and then extend it to the various BP roles for which you need to use the same . Some of the BP roles are Customer (Fin. acc) , Supplier (Fin. Acc), Customer (For Sales Area Data) , Supplier (for Purchase Organisation Data). When you create a new Business partner , you will find the various roles under the "Create in BP Role" dropdown.
