Documentation
Definition
This indicator is used in the account derivation for the US federal government for the budgetary ledger using the funds management system. For the US federal government, it is important to distinguish for account derivation purposes between federal and non-federal partners.
If the trading partner field has a value in the master record for the particular vendor or customer, then the business partner is considered as federal business partner, otherwise with initial value for this field the business partner is considered as non-federal.
Users other than the US federal government may use it if they need to distinguish between vendors and customers with or without a trading partner value in the master record. If you are using an account derivation other than the one for the US federal government, you may still use it if you need to trigger the account derivation based on this field.
For account derivation for the US federal government, this trading partner flag field exists as part of the key in the tables "Revenue/Statistical postings & OI/Actual resources" and in the "Open items/Actuals for budget status" for account derivation.
The possible values for the trading partner flag in US federal government customizing are:
- "0" = The trading partner ID is irrelevant
The account defined in a line with this value is selected regardless of the business partner status federal or non-federal. The trading partner ID flag is irrelevant when the vendor field, customer, and GL account have initial value.
- "1" = The account defined in a line with this value will be derived if the trading partner ID is a federal partner.
- "2" = The trading partner ID is a non-federal partner, this occurs when either the vendor, customer, or GL account have a value different than initial but the company ID for trading partner initial in the master record.
- "*" = Generic value (any of the above values 0, 1, or 2).
