3700152 - Trading Partner Not Populated on All Line Items in Customer Down Payment Process

During the customer down payment process (for example, down payment request creation and clearing with incoming payment), the Trading Partner field is not populated on all journal entry line items. This can lead to balances without Trading Partner information when viewed from a trading partner perspective, particularly on down payment control or liability G/L accounts.

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.

As part of the customer down payment process, the system creates additional technical line items through document splitting. These line items are generated for G/L and project-related reporting purposes.

This is standard system behavior.

The Trading Partner is not populated on all line items created during the customer down payment process because the additional technical items generated by document splitting are not intended for consolidation purposes. Consequently, there is no need to copy the Trading Partner to all items.

No configuration or SSCUI setting is available to change this behavior in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

For consolidation scenarios, Trading Partner information should be derived based on the relevant customer-related line items or the originating business documents.
