Dear experts, what is the usage of the Contract Account Relationships?

Can I map different relations between Business partners and the contract accounts such as parent? what is the importance and functionality of the flag account holder?.

Relationship of Business Partner to Contract Account:

The account relationship defines the role that a business partner plays for a contract account.

Use

The account relationship serves to differentiate between several business partners belonging to a contract account.

During automatic payment clearing for example, this then enables you to specify that a payment on account is always assigned to the holder of the account.

The account holder relationship can only be assigned to one business partner per contract account.

If a contract account category is flagged as being a one-time account , you can nevertheless maintain several business partners as the account holder with a contract account.

Regards,

Pranaya

Dear Pranaya, if I check the account statement of a business partner that is not the account holder, but that has other relation to the contract account am I able to see the items?

Do the postings can only be directed to the business partner marked as "Account holder"?

Hi I think you will have to create a new Acct Relationship and then assign this new Acct Relat in the contract account.

This is should post documents to the Ca but not tied to the BP. I hope this helps.

Let us know if this worked.
