How to change trading partner in FB02 for already posted document

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have requirement to assign trading partner for some posted documents to match debit and credit amounts in consolidation.i tried tcodes fs00 and entered trading partner but changes are not found in table bseg.

Assigning trading partner to G/l account And Assigning trading Partner to document number is different??

I also tried through tcode SPRO but i am unable to make the field change for posted document.

i cannot reverse document and create new one because i have to make changes for large number.

i have seen lot of forums but i am unable to find solutionAnything is appreciable.I am waiting for your replies.

Thanks&Regards,

Dear,

The field trading partner is not modifiable even if You try to make

the right settings in transaction OB32 (Table TBAER).

This is because the change may cause a lot of data inconsistencies as

there are other applications involved .

Please note that BSEG-VBUND is one of the important organizational

fields which should be managed in the same manner as company code,

business area etc. These organizational fields cannot/should not be

changed at FB02 and consequently it's not possible to define VBUND in

document change rule.

Go to transaction Se11 - table BSEG and drill down on field VBUND and

click on Where -used list button (you can see that this field

is used in a lot of tables ).

I am sorry to inform you that field BSEG-VBUND is not modifiable.

Unfortunately, if your field data for VBUND has been passed to SL or CO,

it can not be changed via document change FB02, as the change would

not be passed to SL or CO and they would be out of sync with FI.

In addition, the field VBUND also exists in table BSEGV, which would

also prevent it from being changed even if not being passed to CO or SL.

Therefore, if you make wrong entry in VBUND, it is necessary to REVERSE

the document first and re-post with the correct VBUND information.

In the future, you can also use FI document validation to make

sure the correct VBUND data is always entered.

I'm sorry but there are no other options at all.

Hi ,

I have seen in some forums that we can update trading partner automatically when we made document entry in OX16, Could you please tell me how to do it briefly so that there is no point of missing trading partner in document entry.

Hi Narasim,

For a posted document, you can no longer change the trading partner wrongly entered. For it to correct, you need to reverse posted document via FB08, then re-entry it again using correct trading partner.

Hope it helps.
