XK01 - Company ID for trading partner - default value

Hi gurus,
I would really appreciate your help on this one:
I need to insert a default value in the "company ID for trading partner" field when creating a vendor(or customer).
The value must be inserted when using transaction XK01 either manually or via batch input. The automated integration process is the following:
my external data -> prgm RFBIKR00 -> batch input run for XK01
basically my ext data may have a company ID in which case I want to keep it.. otherwise, I want to insert a default value.
Has anyone ever face a similar need and found a great solution?
Here are some solutions I thought about:
- user exit SAPMF02K. Unfortunately, we cannot change the value of the field VBUND
- variant transaction. But it seems to not to be compatible with batch input mode
- workflow triggered by the vendor creation event that could modify the VBUND data.
(this one should work... but I am a bit reluctant to implement such a tools for such a simple need)
- copying RFBIKR00 into a specific developpment... not great as well.
- BTE 1421 or 1420 do not seem to be able to update this field either.
any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
regards,
Damien.

Hi Rajesh,
thank you for your answer. I am not familiar with field exits and had not thought about it.
I found this link on the forum : http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/enhance/fexits.htm that gave me additionnal info on field exits.
I will have a look on monday to see if it solves my issue, but it seems to be a very suitable solution.
I'll reward your answer as soon as I know wether it solved my problem or was only helpful :).
Thanks a lot.

Damien.

Deleting a Specific Agreement for Trading Partner

Hello Gurus,
I want to know that if i want to delete a specific agreement from the B2B console how can i achieve this, When i purge the Metadata or the Instace data all the agreements are getting deleted, Can anyone suggest that is this feature available in 11g.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Sandy

Sandy,
To delete a specific agreement, you will need to login to B2B console and navigate to the Administration-->Manage Deployments tab. Search for the agreement by specifying Name, Responding Partner, Initiating Partner etc. When the search returns the result, select the agreement in question and select "Inactive". Once the agreement is "Inactive", you can select it again and click "Retire". Select again and click "Purge". Note: Don't forget to select the "State" value (Active, Inactive, All etc.) before performing your search.
One other option is to select the active agreement and click "Inactive". Navigate back to the "Partners" page and select the trading partner. Next, click on the agreement name below on the "Agreements" pane and click the "X" (delete) icon.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Document splitting for trading partner

Hi friends,
We have a requirement that the trading partner can also be split when posting FI document like profit center can be split. I cannot find characteristic of trading partner in config menu: Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger. Only fields of Business Area, Profit Center, and Segment can be added for document splitting. Is it possible to add trading partner as document splitting charcteristic?
Thanka in advance,
Jessie

Hi JPA,
Thanks for your information. I read the note 1085921 and found the below point which seems like more than the three fields can be split. We still can add custom fied to be split, right? but how?
2.1 New g/l scenarios
In order to split the posted items of a particular ledger by the selected criteria (SEGMENT, PROFIT CENTER, custom field [ZZxxx], etc.), the relevant new g/l scenario has to be assigned to this ledger.

Hi Umesh,
In two of the documents you are clearing one document must have the trading partner assigned to it and the other one will not have the trading partner. To clear the document either both the documents should have the trading partners or both should not have trading partners.

Hi,
For reconciling associated companies, you can access these from the SAP application menu as follows:
SAP menu -> Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable -> Periodic Processing -> Closing -> Check/Count -> Cross-System Intercompany Reconciliation
These programs provide more functions and flexibility, and they enable you to reconcile data across different systems.
You carry out the Customizing for these programs in the SAP Customizing Guide under:
SPRO> Financial Accounting or Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Closing -> Count -> Cross-System Intercompany Reconciliation

Substitution for Trading Patrner

Hello All,
I would like to create the substitution for Trading Partner at G/L Item by following issue:-
1)     Check some document types e.g. DR, KR, KZ (Inter-Company)
2)     Check some G/L Account (excluded 100000 - 1099999)
3)     Trading partner in G/L Item should be equal to Trading partner in Vendor/Customer Item
For e.g. If we are posting an entry for document type DR, Customer 1011, trading partner 1010 the trading partner for G/L Item should be 1010
Thanks in advance.

use substitution and create an exit for the mapping of field vbund,
if the mapping is more extensive, use a mapping table

ICR Process 2 - Parallel Recon by Trading Partner (TP) and TP Profit Center

Experts,
At my current implementation, I would like to reconcile accounts (Process 2) by trading partner, and also by trading partner profit center, essentially reconciling the same data for a period in two different ways. Instead of reconciling data the first way and then backing up the period, and reconciling the second in ICR; is it possible to run two different special reconciliation ledgers for Process two and use one to reconcile with a set of rules for trading partner and the second to reconcile with a set of rules for trading partner profit center? It appears I could create a reconciliation process 4 in the FBIC010 & FBRC7 and assign a secondary special ledger to it, but how would ICR know to look for the right recon ledger when you run FBICA2 and FBICR2?
Does anyone have experience and can chime in on this scenario?
Please Advise
Thanks!
John Scime

I needed to update the field movement in the reconcilation ledger.
The hierarchy with TP PC is showing up now but some documents are not appearing in the reconciliation display. I am going to delete the transactional data index tables and post fresh. I think that will solve the display issue as it has in the past.
I am using two sets one for all Intercompany Accoutns in the reconcilation ledger, and another for all profit centers. I am matching the sets against themselves for the object groups (ie compare all accounts against all accounts...all PC against all PC)
Is there anythign i should investigate Link[Take at the InterCo PC Recon Here|http://img717.imageshack.us/i/26681721.png/]

Transaction F-03 requiring trading partner

Hello guys,
I am trying to clear some items in transaction F-03 which are amounting to zero.
But when i try to clear i am getting a message that trading partner is required since this is an inter-comapny posting.
I have checked the field status for this particular GL, the field trading partner is not suppressed.
When i simulate the document, i am also getting a difference in FX which is asking me for trading partner to clear.
Can some help, could this have anything to do with validation or document change rules?
Thank you
