The SAP Customer Data Platform supports the implementation of family customer accounts through the use of groups and relationships. This approach allows for the creation of a unified view of customer contacts, associated accounts, and the relationships within these accounts. By leveraging this structure, organizations can gain enriched, real-time insights into their customer base, which is essential for driving growth and providing a customer-centric experience.Reference= This information is corroborated by the SAP Community article discussing the use of the SAP Customer Data Platform for B2B use cases, which outlines the importance of understanding customer relationships and the benefits of having actionable data1.

The SAP Customer Data Platform is designed to manage customer data across different levels of organization. A tenant represents an instance of the platform provisioned for an organization, and within this tenant, multiple workspaces can be created. These workspaces serve as separate environments for development and production purposes. Additionally, a business unit, which is a logical partition within a workspace, can also contain multiple workspaces, allowing for further segmentation and management of customer data within the same organizational unit.Reference= This relationship is outlined in the SAP Customer Data Platform documentation available on the SAP Help Portal, which provides comprehensive information on the configuration and management of tenants, workspaces, and business units12.

First-party customer data refers to the information that is collected directly from customers by the company itself. This includes data gathered through interactions with the company's own channels, such as websites, mobile apps, customer service interactions, and in-store visits.The SAP Customer Data Platform enables businesses to connect various types of customer data to deliver personalized experiences, and first-party data is crucial for creating a comprehensive view of the customer1.Reference= The explanation aligns with the functionalities and use cases of the SAP Customer Data Platform as described in the official SAP Help Portal1.

In the context of the SAP Customer Data Platform, the active processing purpose status for an incoming event is always attached to the event. This status indicates whether the data is allowed to be stored in the system, and which data may be sent out to destination applications. The processing purpose can be dynamic, meaning it is part of the incoming event's data model and is saved to the customer profile with the status and timestamp data that was sent with the event. This is achieved by mapping the event purpose nodes to the data privacy framework within the platform.Reference= The information is based on the SAP Help Portal documentation on Processing Purposes, which details the use cases, core concepts, and data governance enforcement related to processing purposes within the SAP Customer Data Platform1. 

In B2B scenarios within the SAP Customer Data Platform, accurately identifying and managing business entities is crucial.

Before ingesting customer data into the SAP Customer Data Platform (CDP), it is essential to configure processing purposes within the system. This is a built-in mechanism that identifies the different purposes for handling customer data that streams into and out of the system. The processing of personal data is governed by regional and local regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA. The CDP ingestion process allows businesses to ensure compliance with these regulations, restrictions, and policies applicable to customer data usage. It is important to note that the CDP ingestion process does not collect, audit, or handle the actual collection of processingpurposes. Instead, it allows for storing those collected purposes and applying data governance based on those purposes. In the context of CDP, the processing purpose is sent as data points in an event from a source, and multiple processing purposes may be defined per business unit. Only those processing purposes needed for managing customer data in CDP should be added.Reference= The detailed explanation is based on information found in the SAP Help Portal, specifically within the documentation for processing purposes in the SAP Customer Data Platform1.

When using a server application to make API calls to the SAP Customer Data Platform, you can authenticate requests to event listeners by passing a constructed JWT as the bearer token or by using the user key and secret key as parameters. The use of an asymmetric RSA key pair is also mentioned, which is typically involved in the creation of a JWT. However, passing the SSL certificate of the client or a one-time password generated by the REST API endpoint is not specified as a method for authenticating these requests.Reference= The information is based on the SAP Customer Data Platform documentation, which details the methods for signing requests to the platform1.

The SAP Customer Data Platform ingests data from various source applications to build a coherent view of the customers. It defines a customer schema to create a common data model for all incoming customer data. Events are also a part of the data ingestion process, as they represent the actions taken by customers and are crucial for creating a complete customer profile.Reference=SAP Customer Data Platform | SAP Help Portal,How does SAP Customer Data Platform do it? - SAP Learning

In the SAP Customer Data Platform, a business unit is defined as the part of a business that is tasked with maintaining continuous business relationships with customers within a specific market. This definition implies that a business unit is not just a segment or a division, but a functional entity within the organization that directly interacts with the customer base.Furthermore, it is important to note that a single business unit can encompass multiple brands, indicating that it can operate across different product lines or service offerings under the broader corporate umbrella.Reference= This information is corroborated by the SAP Help Portal, which provides a clear definition of a business unit within the context of the SAP Customer Data Platform1.
