TRM integration with FI

Former Member

Dear consultants,

I am writing to ask you about defining financier account in FI so that it can be used in TRM.

We are implementing  SAP in a company and we‘ve done phase 1 . In phase 1 We have to manage financier accounts in FI manually  owning to  not activating TRM yet but in phase 2 we are going  to use TRM function to manage finance agreements . As far as I have studied and searched, there is a possibility to link “Business partner” to customer or vendor defined in FI but I have found nothing to ensure me that I can link “Business partner” to G/L accounts in FI. As we manually keep financier account in FI in phase 1, it is significantly substantial to know how to define financier account in FI in order to use it in TRM later.

May I have your opinion about defining financier as “vendor”, “customer” or “G/L” account in FI?

Which of them are based on best practice in SAP?

Best Regards,

Rezvan

Hi Raznan,

TRM will require Business partners (BP roles: counterparty for OTC products) and financial instritution that you conclude deal with must be set up as BP Counterparty. Indeed, BP could be syncronised /integrated with Customers and that TRM would be able to post the deal to create finacial documents into customer subledgers, instead of GL postng/payment requests.

I have come across a few reason that some companies needed to integrate BU Finacier as customers, such as applying WHT receivalble function on interest, necesity to generate an invoices, having the different date between due date and payment date for the interests incurred.

I am not sure you can integrate BP to GL account, let alone , from TRM point of view, that is not relevant. If I were you, i would maintain them off line for now and define BP only or if necessary also as customers.

Hope that this helps.

Cheers

Hi Rezvan,

I have faced similar type of situation in one of my projects.

where a company is buying a XXX. company takes 70% loan from a financier.

and the company invest the rest 30%. And finally after a period of time the company will settle to financier. But the ownership of the XXX will lies to company not the financier during the period.
