Have a requirement to assign trading partner for some posted documents to match debit and credit amounts in consolidation. Tried using tcode FS00 and entered trading partner but changes are not found in table BSEG.
Have also tried through tcode SPRO but still unable to make the field change for posted document.
I cannot reverse the document and create a new one because I have to make changes for large number of posted documents.
Answer:
For a posted document, you can no longer change the trading partner wrongly entered. For it to correct, you need to reverse posted document via FB08, then re-entry it again using correct trading partner.
The field trading partner is not modifiable even if You try to make the right settings in transaction OB32 (Table TBAER).
This is because the change may cause a lot of data inconsistencies as there are other applications involved .
Please note that BSEG-VBUND is one of the important organizational fields which should be managed in the same manner as company code, business area etc. These organizational fields cannot/should not be changed at FB02 and consequently it's not possible to define VBUND in document change rule.
Go to transaction SE11 - table BSEG and drill down on field VBUND and click on Where-used list button (you can see that this field is used in a lot of tables ). This one of the main reason why field BSEG-VBUND is not modifiable.
Unfortunately, if your field data for VBUND has been passed to SL or CO, it cannot be changed via document change FB02, as the change would not be passed to SL or CO and they would be out of sync with FI.
In addition, the field VBUND also exists in table BSEGV, which would also prevent it from being changed even if not being passed to CO or SL.
Therefore, if you make wrong entry in VBUND, it is necessary to REVERSE the document first and re-post with the correct VBUND information.
In the future, you can also use FI document validation to make sure the correct VBUND data is always entered.
There are no other options at all for this ticket.
