Summary :
This SAP Note addresses questions related to the business partner (BP) module after upgrading to SAP_ABA 5.0A and higher. Table BUT001 is obsolete, and business partner master data (e.g., identification, industry sector) should be maintained in tables BUT0ID and BUT0IS using reports BUPXPRA13 and BUPXPRA12 respectively. These reports are one-time programs. User-defined fields in BUT001 should be migrated to BUT000. No additional report is necessary for upgrades to SAP_ABA 7.0; however, first BP access triggers a conversion mechanism. BP_TD_SWITCH report is recommended for mass BP data conversion to be compatible with SAP_ABA 7.0 and above. It also facilitates the migration of planned changes and updates address usability. Potential synchronization issues post-upgrade and specific performance enhancements are also discussed.
