Summary :
In SAP CRM, the deletion of a partner function does not automatically lead to the removal of the associated business partner relationship. The maintenance of partner roles in SAP CRM is independent of sales areas, allowing for the definition of partner function assignments specific to different sales areas. Detailed configuration options are available, enabling systems to handle partner function roles and relationships across various business scenarios, including organizational changes, reassignments, and deletions. Automatic data exchange between SAP CRM and SAP R/3 systems ensures consistency, updating partner roles in customer master data as per changes in the CRM server. This setup supports dynamic relationship management and partner determination in transactional processes.
