This parameter is used for consolidation purposes to define the default partner.

Enter the default partner, which can only be a Customer, Supplier, or Miscellaneous BP.

Partner initialization: The initialization rule only applies to accounts with Optional or Mandatory Partner management selected and only for the first ledger defined in the journal entry transaction with consolidation management selected.

For collective accounts 
The Business Partner defined at the journal entry line level setup is the default partner.

If no Business Partner is defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner (CPT chapter, CSL group) parameter value. If this parameter is defined, there is no default partner value.

For General accounts
If the Entry partner check box is selected for the general account defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner for this general account line defaults to the partner defined in the first collective line.

If the Entry partner check box is not selected for the general account defined at the journal entry line level setup, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner parameter value. If this parameter is not defined, there is no default partner value.

If no collective line has been found, the partner defaults to the CSLBPRDEF – Default partner parameter value. If this parameter is not defined, there is no default partner value.

Limit: If the journal entry is posted with several collective lines, the partner defaults from the first collective line. The partner is the same for all the general account lines where the Entry partner check box is selected.

Note: When the journal entry transaction has several ledgers with consolidation management, the partner initialized on the first ledger is propagated on the others consolidated ledgers. If for any reason no partner can been initialized on the first ledger but is mandatory on another ledger, a blocking message appears notifying you that partner management is mandatory.
