1. BP category determination a BP is created from a customer / vendor.

For customers/vendors, there is no special attribute for organization, person and group while there is for business partners. When creating a BP from a customer / vendor, there is no information which type of BP shall be created. The only source is the title （LFA1-ANRED) and underlying customizing table TSAD3.（t-code SA03）

Per default the implementation CVI_MAP_TITLE_DIRECT of Badi CVI_MAP_TITLE is active ,which does not care about the business partner type and always leads to the creation of an organization.

When the implementation CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY of Badi CVI_MAP_TITLE is active, the title(LFA1-ANRED) of vendor or customer is considered to create the BP type accordingly.

2.How to active CVI_MAP_TITLE_DIRECT or CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY

Transaction SPRO :   Cross-Application Components

                              >  Master Data Synchronization

                                >    Customer/Vendor Integration

                                  >       Business Partner Settings

                                    >       Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)

                                      >        BAdI: Data Assignment of Form of Address from Customer/Vendor

Please note that BAdI CVI_MAP_TITLE allows only one active implementation, so if you want to activate BAdi CVI_MAP_TITLE_DIRECT , you need to de-activate BAdi CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY.
