Error when adding a business partner in SAP

[Former Member]

When I try to add a business partner to SAP for testing purposes, I get the following error (translated from Dutch):

Creditors/Debtors not available [Business Partner - Creditors/Debtors]

Does anybody know how to add a business partner or how to circumvent/solve this problem?

Hi Wouter

Are you trying to do this through the front end or through code?? Well, id assume it is because you have not set up your gl account determination. When adding a BP it needs to have a debtors/creditors account linked to it. If you have set up your gl acc determination it will automatically place it in, if not then you must punch it in when creating the bp. Look on the accounting tab in the bp window, there is a field for accounts recievable when adding a customer, needs to be filled in.

Hope this helps

Thanks,

Turns out I forgot to select the correct local settings for accounting when creating the database. Your answer pointed me in the right direction
