Definition

You can set this indicator when parallel maintenance is activated and the following conditions apply:

  1. The Treasury business partner was converted to the SAP business partner, ensuring that all the SAP business partners derived from one Treasury business partner have the same number as the Treasury business partner.
  2. There are no business partners in your system.

This indicator controls that when the SAP business partner and the Treasury business partner are updated in parallel, both partners receive the same number. The numbers for both partners are taken exclusively from the SAP business partner number ranges.

When you create the Treasury business partner, the SAP business partner number is determined as follows: The conversion Customizing for the groupings is used to determine the SAP business partner grouping from the Treasury business partner grouping. The number range is then determined from this.

This indicator cannot be set if partners with different numbers have already been assigned to each other.

If the same number indicator is switched off in productive operation, the number ranges for the Treasury business partner must be adjusted in order to prevent major data inconsistencies.
