2736343 - Legal Form Brackets Cannot be Removed

Symptom

You have created Legal Forms values without explanation, however, the system keeps carrying the brackets to the UI.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Click on Implementation Projects.
  3. Open Fine Tune Activity.
  4. Search for the Activity General Business Partner.
  5. Open it.
  6. Click on Legal Form.
  7. Create your custom one without filling the field "Explanation".
  8. Now go to the Customer work center.
  9. Click on Accounts.
  10. Open the Account XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the Account).
  11. Click on edit.
  12. Open dropdown on the Legal form field.
  13. Result: the system will display brackets even when not maintained any value on Business Configuration activity.

Cause

Reason for this is that Legal Form codes are not translated. The text of the legal Form code is language independent the explanation text is required which shows in explanation in the logon language.

Resolution

This is the current system behavior, our recommendation is not to remove the explanation text from Business Configuration to avoid the empty brackets in the thing inspector.
