Trading Partner at item level in FB01

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

In FB01 transaction when we do GL posting using Docuement type 'SA' . The trading partner field is at the header level .

If we use FB50 transaction for SA we can enter it at item level .

Is there any configuration setting to show the trading partner at item level in FB01 transaction .

In OBA7 tranaction control data "Trading Partner" is selected .

Thanks,

Srinivas

Dear Raj,

let me explain the system behavior determined by the two indicators 'Inter-company postgs' (XGSUB) and 'Enter trading partner' (XMGES) in TA OBA7 for the relevant document type:

1. XMGES and XGSUB are initial:

Trading partner (VBUND) is transferred from the master record and has to be unique in the document.

2. XMGES is set, XGSUB is initial:

You can enter the trading partner manually during posting using Extra -> Trading partner (for a unique VBUND in document header), but this is only possible for G/L account posting.

3. XGSUB is set, XMGES is initial:

VBUND is transferred from the master data but it must not to be unique in the document. So the trading partner of one line item is not inherited to the other line items.

4. XMGES and XGSUB are set:

VBUND has not to be unique in the document and you can enter it manually. In this case you have to enter it in line item -> More data.

For cross-company documents you have to enter the trading partner in the global data of the company code.

You can refer to the SAP Knowledge Base Article

1869090 - Special Logic with "Trading Partner" field (VBUND) configuration

Hi

From Main menu, select 'Extras' and then Trading Partner.It will prompt you to enter the same in More data for each item.

Hope this helps

Hi Raj ,

The Trading partner dispayed there is at the header level . The heading in the popup says " Requirements in Whole Document " . We want at item level .

Hi Sri,

Could you please share how you were able to extend the trading partner to item level if you did, if not please brief why?

Will appreciate your reply on this.

Thank you,

Hi,

You can enter trading partner at line item level. Click on 'More data' to enter the trading partner. Additionally if there are different trading partners at line item level, then ensure that 'Inter Company Postings' check is ticked in the relevant document type configuration in OBA7 transaction code. If not, then there will be an error. Hope this helps

Thank you Aman, I wanted to see if this can be extended as a filed in FB60 for easy user input instead of going to extras and adding it there. Please provide your input. Thank you

Hi Manoj,

This field is available for user input. Please ensure that the check ' Enter Trading Partner ' is ticked in the document type settings.

Best Regards

Aman
