BE number - business entity number


Explanation:
According to SAP

Die Zuordnung dieser Teilnahme-ID kann pro Wirtschaftseinheit (WE) aber auch WE-übergreifend durchgeführt werden (Abrechnungseinheit und Teilnahme-ID wird ohne Angabe der WE-Nummer angelegt).

You can allocate this Participation ID per business entity (BE) or for all business entities (you create the settlement unit and participation ID without specifying the business entity number).
