• Key Concepts: 
  Business scope accounts are used in the SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) component to define the scope of business activities that a company is allowed to perform. This includes the types of transactions, such as imports and exports, that a company is allowed to engage in. The business scope account also defines the countries and regions that a company is allowed to do business with. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Business scope accounts are used to control access to certain transactions and countries in GTS. When a user attempts to perform a transaction, GTS will check the user's business scope account to determine if they are allowed to do so. If the user is not authorized, then the transaction will be blocked. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up business scope accounts, it is important to ensure that users have access only to the transactions and countries that they need. This will help prevent unauthorized access and ensure that users are only able to perform transactions that they are authorized for.
