BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST trading partner

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am using BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST in a program to post GL accounts for a company we recently acquired.

We are using trading partners and partner profit centers to post any inter-company transactions. But I do not see a trading partner field anywhere in this BAPI.

Can you please advise, if there is an alternative field that I can use?

Thanks.

Hello,

It seems, there isn't any field for Trading partner in BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST.

So, try BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST. It has both fields related to trading partners.

BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST, seems to have many more options I guess. Is trade_id the field you are pointing out? Do you have an example to elaborate?

Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Hello Pranav,

Below listed fields are only available fields in BSEG related to trading partner.

TRADE_ID - Company ID of trading partner

TR_PART_BA - Trading partner's business area

And both are available in BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.

One more tip : if you want to find out corresponding BAPI field of any field on the screen, they try to see the "Default component name" in Data element of that field which is on the screen. Most of the cases we can find out corresponding BAPI field name from here.

Thanks a lot Naimesh.

I tried using trade_id and it worked, only thing I had to add in the header table was BUS_ACT = RFBU, and it posted the document. I think I had to add this because I had not specified the trading partner business area.

Do you have any idea what the BUS_ACT field does. Just curious.

Thanks once again.

Hello Pranav,

Thanks for rewarding

Have look at the defination given by SAP on

Business transaction

Definition The data from the different SAP application areas is

Sbdivided into transactions according to business views.

If an application calls up direct posting in accounting, data is transferred with an appropriate transaction. Depending on the transaction, you can process this transferred data in different ways (for example, with ledger selection, field movement).
