Business partner

[Former Member]

Hello experts

                 I am a treasury professional, I just started to learn SAP TRM. What is the difference between creating business partners by using transaction code BP and using IMG like OX15, EC01. If we create business partners by using easy access how to link those details to IMG. Can we create company code directly using BP or we need to use IMG?

Hi Swami,

Business Partner(BP) and company code(EC01) both are different concept.

Here Business Partner is natural or legal person with whom business relationships are maintained. Typical business partners are banks of your company, customers, vendors etc.

Create Business partner for TRM through T-code BP not with EC01 or OX15.

Hi Kalim

           Thank you for clarification. Can you amplify your answer a bit please.

• I have created BP 'Metro logistics' as general business partner.
• Then I chose counter party in BP role, but If I select company code and try to save system says "company code is not available in the system".

Can you help me to find the right solution to create company code.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Swami,

Please maintain basic data first with counter party then save the BP and go to company code data with counter party enter company code and save again.

Hope this should help.
