What is the purpose of the “Line of Business” application in the master data?
Each business partner can be assigned to a line of business.
In the master data application “Line of Business,” you can define a list of service types. This list can represent different sectors or areas, such as Automotive, Chemicals, Defense, Agents, or Co-loaders. Under Master Data > CRM > Line of Business, the respective service types (Line of Business) can be added or edited. Each line of business has a code and a name (description).
You will then find the lines of business you created in the business partner editor.
