Business Partner missing in Journal Entry Voucher screen.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Customer Invoicing Work Center -> Sales Transactions View.
2. In the dropdown, select "All transactions" and search for Transaction ABC.
3. Click on the number ID and go to View All -> Document Flow tab.
4. Go to the Journal Entry on the Sales Transactions.
   In Sales Transaction ABC, you will see that the business partner is shown on the screen, but in Sales Transaction ID XYZ, there's no business partner displayed.

(ABC/XYZ refers to the ID of the Sales Transactions)

To derive the partner company for a journal entry, the following conditions must be met:

1. The account should be a profit and loss (P&L) account.
2. If the account is a miscellaneous (MISC) ledger account, it must have open item management (OIM) enabled.

In a POS Transaction, if the Supplier is not available or not affiliated, no Partner Company will be provided or populated in the Journal Entry. Similarly, if the debtor (customer) is not available or not affiliated, no Partner Company will be provided or populated in the Journal Entry.

To determine partner companies for postings to the Sales Ledger, ByDesign uses either the customer maintained in the Customer Project or the customer from the Sales Order. If the Business Partner in both of these documents is not classified as a Partner Company, no Partner Company ID will be derived for the relevant line of the Journal Entry.

Additionally, in a Journal Entry Voucher, if the debtor of the project task is not available or not affiliated, no Partner Company will be provided or populated in the Journal Entry. To check the same, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the related Project Task.
2. Click "View All" button. 
3. Go to Accounting Tab > Double click in Party ID DEF (DEF represents the Party ID) of the "Customer" section. 
4. Click "View All" button. 
5. Go to "Financials Data" tab. 
6. Here, the related Partner Company of the Journal Entry Voucher is not affiliated hence it is not populated in the Journal entry.

This is a standard system behavior.
