Trading Partner field in the GENERAL JOURNAL ENTRIES app

[Former Member]

Is there an option to get the Trading partner field on general journal entries screen?

Thanks

Regarding the field "trading partner" , there are two relevant flags for the document type in question:

1. Inter-company posting

2. Enter trading partner

System will fill Trading partner according to the combination of above 2 flags:

- If both flags are NOT set: trading partner is derived from the account master data. It is not possible to make a manual entry. Trading partner must be unique in the document.

- If only "enter trading partner" is set: trading partner can be entered manually for the total document in the header. Trading partner is inherited to all lines of the document and it is unique.

- If only "inter-company posting" is set: trading partner is derived from the account master data. It is not possible to make a manual entry. Trading partner must NOT be unique in

the document.

- If both flags are set: trading partner can be entered manually in the G/L account lines. Trading partner must NOT be unique in the document.

Open Item Managed accounts are valuated on line Item level not balance level in app for Foreign Currency Valuation. Where the account is a Open item managed account and it considers the Trading Partner field from the source document

Hello cora.phelan

How would you d if you need the traing partner to be automatically derived from the master data in the recon. account but not in the GL account, if you have a unique trading partner in the document ? This is usefull for instance if you have a foreign exchange, but you do not want the trading partner in the 766xxx account because, for the trading partner blance there will be no loss nor gain as its journal entries will be in the transaction currency. If thougt the best would be to check both flags, but it is notified that Tranding partnner must not NOT be unique in the document...?

The field is available to add to the journal upload template (VBUND) - so that might be an option for you?

This might not be the answer. It is not getting the data from VBUND even if you fill it.

Won't this be determined from the relevant business partner rather than entered directly - what is the business scenario you are trying to achieve?
