Question: We have customized report that pull Vendor Data (ECC) from Standard Table (LF* or LM*).  Using BP Vendor Creation (S4 Hana), is this vendor info will be flow to Standard Table (LF* or LM*) also or need to use different Table (for BP Vendor creation).

In S4, the LFA1 table still exists and it is not being replaced to BUT000. 

All LFA1 data is in BUT000 and it can be considered that LFA1 is a subset of BUT000. 

BUT000 contain more data which are S/4 relevant data. 

Answer: See the following Blog Posts that include both Process flow and MM Tables

Question: Review the S/4 "LEAN Service Procurement Scenario".

Lean services is newly introduced process in SAP S/4HANA to simplify service procurement. For this scenario: 

• SAP introduced Product Type Group "2" in the Material Type "SERV" that can be used to create a LEAN Service Material Master (instead of using the Service Master via AC03). 
• Instead of using Service Condition, the Purchasing Info Record can be use for the LEAN Service Material. 
• MIGO and ML81N is not relevant AND SAP introduce a FIORI App for the Service Entry of LEAN Service PO, but it still will create a SES (Service Entry Sheet) similar to the Service Master scenario. 
• The Result the Approval of the LEAN Service will create Material Document with FICO postings. 
• Invoice entry is the same for the LEAN Service PO (via MIRO).
