Trading Partner Configuration from FICA site

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

We are struggling to bring the Trading Partner ID on FB03 or FBL3N screen  after SAP ISU Invoice posting ? Please suggest necessary configuration or User Exit / Enhancement required for this.

Thanks In Advance

With Regards,

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Trading partner can be inherited or derived from master or can be entered manually in transactions.

Updation of trading partner is being controlled through relevant document type configuration in SAP

Its being controlled through two main check boxes in document type configuration (transaction code-OBA7) namely, "Inter-company postings" and "Enter Trading partner" check boxes

a) If "Inter-company postings" check box is set and "Enter Trading partner" is not set

Functionality: Trading partner is derived from master data and no manual entry is possible in line item / transactions. Here trading partner must not be unique in a document.

b) If "Inter-company postings" check box is not set and "Enter Trading partner" is set

Functionality: Trading partner can be manually entered in line item / transaction by choosing Extras menu button -> Trading partner which will be applicable for all the line items in a document. Here trading partner is unique in the document.

c) If both "Inter-company postings" and "Enter Trading partner" check boxes are set

Functionality: Trading partners are derived from master data and can also be entered manually in the line item / transaction in the "More Data" screen. Here trading partner must not be unique in a document.

d) If both "Inter-company postings" and "Enter Trading partner" check boxes are not set

Functionality: Trading partner can be manually entered in a line item / transaction by choosing Extras menu button -> Trading partner which will be applicable for all the line items in a document. Here trading partner is unique in the document.

In short, both options (b) and (d) represents the same functionality and it depends on each of the document type configuration with the business process involved.

Hope it helps...

Thanks,

Amlan
