Question

Options

• DBased on the document owner

  7% (2)

  3% (1)

  3% (1)
• D
  86% (25)

Explanation

When the "business partner and document" method is used, the system checks the business partner master data for an owner first. If no owner is found there, it doesn't leave ownership undefined - it falls back to the document owner (the person who created the document, here the sales quotation). Option D is correct because this fallback to the document owner is the defined behavior when the business partner record has no assigned owner.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (company relationship): Company relationships affect data sharing/visibility between related entities, not ownership assignment fallback logic.
• B (business partner contact): Contacts are linked to business partners but play no role in the ownership fallback hierarchy.
• C (sales employee's authorizations): Authorizations control what data a user can see, not who owns a record - these are separate concepts, even though the document owner and the sales employee happen to be the same person here.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-step ladder - the system climbs down from business partner owner → document owner. If the top rung is missing, it lands on the document. "No BP owner? Check the doc."
