Documentation

Indicates the identification number category used to classify identification numbers for the business partner.

Use

Identification number categories belong to additional partner numbers for the business partner, and can be entered on the Control tab page to classify identification numbers.

Dependencies

You can make settings for identification number categories in Customizing for the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services by choosing Settings for Financial Services-> General Settings-> Additional Partner Numbers in the following IMG activities:

  • Define Identification Number Category
  • Set Identification Number Category

In Customizing you can make the following additional partner number settings:

  • You can determine that certain identification number categories can only be entered in certain business partner categories
  • You can determine that certain identification number categories can be entered more than once for a business partner
  • You can determine that several identical identification numbers can be entered for a business partner
  • You can define a function module for checking the identification numbers

The additional partner numbers for the SAP Business Partner for Financial Services supplement the identification numbers for the SAP Business Partner on the Identification tab page, and provide additional Customizing settings for them.

Example

You want to identify two business partners as members of a corporate group. To do this, use additional partner numbers and define the identification number category IDTP01 for the group key in both business partners. Then assign the same identification number to both business partners.
