Hi

The following steps are involved on FI configuration side:

1 define company for each company code.

2 Assign each company code to company 1 : 1 relationship.

3 For each IC vendor/ customer assgin the trading partner in the master data.

4 Based on the above configuration settings, AR and AP postings will generate trading partner in their respective line items.

5 Elimination between two company codes will take place based on trading partner relation ship.

6 In a lay mans language Trading partner is nothing partner partner company code.

Pl let me know if you require more details.

<b>The logic is same like company. Instead of company the object is BA. U need to do the elimination for BA. Now the current scenario is more towards PCA than BA. Once the you derive the trading partner, the other characteristics like BA and PC will also derived. Based on the set of charateristics like Trading partner and BA or trading partner and PCA, u can carry out the elimination</b>.

Hi Siva Kumar,

All countries in the org doesnt need legal reporting are implemented as Business areas. We have enabled the business area financial statements and identified the trade partner fields for the GL accounts which has inter business area transactions. Got stuck in the elimination process.

Thanks
