If different number ranges are assigned to account groups of SH and PY.
Then would you advice to upgrade a SH customer, in order to play the partner role of PY too?
If different number ranges are maintained for different account groups...when a PY is upgraded to SH (not SH to PY)...then system creates a new customer number for this customer and defaults the partner functions SH, PY and BP in the customer master record. The existing/old customer master record of PY can be blocked in an appropriate time. When the new SH customer can play the role of PY also...then there is no reason for keeping the old PY customer....unless the business process demands.
This is my understanding. I didn't work on this specific scenario. Please test and correct me if I am wrong.
