| Business Partner StatusActive If the business partner (role) status is Active,
you can use the business partner for business transactions. You must define the
period for which the business partner is Active.
If the period is expired, the actual status of the business partner becomes Inactive, and you cannot use the business partner
anymore. Inactive If the business partner (role) status is Inactive, you cannot use the business partner for business
transactions. You cannot enter an effective date and an expiry date for the Inactive status. Prospect You can use the Prospect business partner (role) if you enter general
business partner data but you do not enter details for a specific role. If no
details for a specific role are defined, you cannot enter, for example, sales
orders or purchase contracts because the sold-to role or buy-from role is not
specified. You must define the period for which the business partner is Prospect. If the period is expired, the actual status of
the business partner becomes Inactive, and you cannot use the business partner
anymore.
