Hello Sarnava,

Select the entry from table BUT100 with role type (RLTYP) "BBP000" for the BU_PARTNER. If an entry is found then the partner is a supplier otherwise not.

You can also make use of standard function module "BUP_BUT100_SELECT_WITH_PARTNER". It expects BU_PARTNER as input and returns all the entries relevant for this partner with roles from table BUT100. You can then make use of the result table to identify whether the partner is vendor or not.

How we approached this, we have maintained four groups and finding it a clean approach

Cross-Application Components >SAP Business Partner > Number Ranges and Groupings

1)       Any object created in SRM – such as Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group  - Internal

2)       For Vendor s – external

3)       Employee CP (central person) external

4)       Employee Org.    External

Then we maintain number range for each groups, you can tell by looking at the number range since you know the number ranges per each groups (1-4) in our case.

Thanks - hope this helps
