Which Business Partner roles are the result of creating a Customer for Accounts Receivable?

When a Customer is created specifically for Accounts Receivable within an SAP system, the "FI Customer" role is assigned to that business partner. This role is crucial as it signifies that the business partner is recognized as a customer with a specific financial context in the system, directly linked to accounts receivable processes.

The FI Customer role allows businesses to manage financial transactions related to customer invoices and payments. It enables functionalities such as credit control, invoice issuance, payment collection, and account balance management. Without this role, the integration with financial modules would not function correctly, making it essential for the flow of financial data and customer transaction history.

Other roles, like Customer or Supplier, may not directly pertain to accounts receivable. The General Data role is broader and pertains to the overall attributes of the business partner, rather than specifying their function as a customer in the context of financial transactions. Thus, when you create a customer specifically for accounts receivable purposes, it is the FI Customer role that accurately reflects this status in the system.
