What is a Trading partner?
Trading partners are required for consolidation reporting purposes, for payments to units that are outside (or not yet in) the cloud solution. Trading partners are created as companies, not company codes.
For the full functionality supported by a company code, e.g. General Ledger accounting, country/region solution has to be created in the cloud, afterwards creating the company code. There is no alternative to this.
What are the constraints of setting trading partner's language key?
The language key can be changed in the SSC-UI/fine-tunning UI.
What are the constraints of with regards to currency key?
The currency key cannot be changed even in expert configuration, i.e. a customer located in GB must have currency GBP; a customer located in IT must have currency EUR.
Resolution
Beginning with 2302 release, trading partner creation can be done via SSCUI 106040 for both CBC and Configure Your Solution managed systems.
For a batch maintenance of trading partners, a case must be raised to “XX-S4C-OPR-SRV” and ask for sending the incident to “XX-S4C-SRV-CON” component (Expert configuration).
