Trading Partners - Purpose and Functionality

[Former Member]

Can anyone shed some light on the following:

1. Use of trading partners in SAP for reconciliation

2. Are there benefits to using trading partner functionality when not using BCS for consolidation?

3. In exactly which T-Codes can i test the clearing of financial transactions based on trading partners?

This is an urgent request so if anyone can help ASAP i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Alfred,

Thank you for your response. Do you know exactly how the trading partner can be used in the consolidation process? Would you be able to provide an example with t-codes? I know how to setup a trading partner and I know that it is in the BSEG table and available on all accounting documents. But I still do not understand the process in which it is used in SAP to consolidate.
