Krishna,

Before posting the query you could have tried in the config. Node.

Basically you can't assign more than one fto to one company code. In the config. Logical system group and company code are key fields I believe.

You can have multiple company code pointing to single from but not vice versa.

If you are referring to some special process, please come back.

Hi Krishna,

Regarding the concept; documents and transactions in GTS are carried out within a single Foreign Trade Organisation.  Together with the Legal Unit (more-or-less corresponding to "Plant"), they provide the key to many of the attributes and characteristics for the transaction, and for reporting purposes.

For technical convenience, the FTO takes the form of a Business Partner, so has Name & Address attributes and is tied to a single country.  It is reasonable to consider the FTO as representing the Legal Entity, so mapping to Company Code is provided.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Dave
