Represting Chart of Accounts in Multiple Languages in SAP B1

[kenan_jaddeny]

Hi Community!

we want to represent the Chart of Accounts (CoA) in more than one language, and have it changes according to the UI language of User. we tried the "Translation" functionality beside each account name, but it didn't result in an automatic changing of the account name according to the user's UI language,

any ideas?

Hello Kenan,

I have no indication that it would be planned.

Check this blog on how you can suggest changes to the product:

Hello Kenan,

This is not something that can be done with standard functionality to the best of my knowledge. The note here specifically mentions the Chart of Accounts - 559598 - Changing the Display Language Does Not Apply to Certain Values.

It is possible to change the top level accounts display name to what you want but not having the system changing that with a display language change.

Hi Jesper,

Thanks for your reply,
Acutally what I'm asking is; for any company that works in more than one country around the world, may have different languages speaker that they use the functionalities in SAP; CoA, Items Master Data, BP Master Data, ..
according to that, SAP should provide the ability to have the different languages speaker get the system being translated according to the representing language in their User Settings,
otherwise, for example, I have now in one of our company databases, users from more than 5 countries around the world, and all of them speaking different languages; Turkish, Russian, French, .. all the business objects and CoA should have the translation to these languages and must represented according to the user UI language,

Regards.
