Business area accounting in OKB9 settings:

Hi All,
Business area accounting in OKB9:
1) Goto OKB9, and select one of the company code with cost element that has "2" in the Mandatory fields for detailed account assignments
2) Click on side path: "details per business area/valuation area"
3) At the top of the "General Account Assignment", there is a checkbox for "BAr In", with the following Help information:
Indicator: Account assignment business area has priority
Indicator that specifies whether the business area for the CO account assignment overrides another business area, which was also entered, or derived differently.
Questions:
1) Does anyone have any idea how this settings work?
2) Do you have any solid examples?
Thanks.

Hello,
One should note that these are default account assignments.
1) Does anyone have any idea how this settings work?
Ans: It a technique by which system overrides any other business area and replaces with the business area defined here. With this, postings will go to this business area only. 
2) Do you have any solid examples?: Example could be specific expenses such as e.g. strategy consulting expenses to be posted to a combination of particular cost element, cost centre and business area only.
Hope this helps.

    Business Area showing in Billing document, item detail tab but not populated in Accounting Document BSEG/GSBER.

    Hi:
               This happens in instances if one invoice contains multiple business areas, then only blank space will appear in accounting document for business areas. If this is the case then invoice split should happen based on business area. Invoice split can be done through VOFM data transfer - billing document.
    However if invoice contains only one Business Area then please check in IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Function --> Account Assignment / costing --> Business Area Account Assignment....check  whether you have assigned the  Business Area to Sales Area to Rule "1".

    Hi Dhanush,
    Configure the SAP Business Area
    The functions of business area is to create balance sheets and profit and loss statement below the company code level.  It functionality can be duplicated using Profit center accouting.
    OX03 - Creation of new Business Area
    New Business Areas can be created anytime in the Enterprise structure in the IMG.  However, in the year of creation, no comparison can be done with the previous year data as the Business Area did not exist in the previous year and there are no postings in the previous year.
    After create the new Business Areas, new G/L accounts should be created for :-
    Sales
    Cost of Sales
    External Process Cost
    Consumption
    Material Change
    Purchase
    Cost of Difference for Production
    Factory Output for Production Order
    Next create a default account assignment to maintained the link for cost center and business area.
    Transaction OKB9
    Enter the Company Code and Cost Element
    Cocd      Cost elem.      Acct assignment detail
    Enter the details as per business area/valuation area
    BA     Cost ctr
    Guess the above helps.

  • Business area problem

    Sir in tcode VA01 i am getting following error :-
    No business area can be determined for item 000010
    Messagae no. V1599
    Diagnosis
    The system could not determine a business area for item 000010. The item has plant AMBA and is assigned to company code ARP for which a business area is required. This is caused by incomplete settings in Customizing.
    System response
    The system does not allow you to create the item.
    Procedure
    Before creating the item, make sure that you have completely maintained business area assignments in Customizing.
    In which tcode i will have to do customization?
    I wait on line.

    Hi,
    This because the determination rule is not maintained.
    If you maintain the determination rule then system will pick up the business based on plant /division
    or otherwise based on sales area.
    If your triggering the business area based on plant and division then u need to give the rule 1.
    T.code:IMG
        Enterprise structure>Assignment>Sales and Distribution>Business Area Account Assignment>Define Rules by Sales Area.
    1--> based on plant and division
    2--> based on Sales Area
    3-->Based on Sales Org/distribution channel and division.

  • Business areas financial statement

    Hi,
    When business area wise financial statements are required and are mandatory for all accounts, then how business area will it be assigned to the accounts with automatic postings (post automatically)?

    Business Area Account Assignment
    Both revenue accounting in Financial Accounting and value postings for goods movements in Inventory Accounting can be represented separately for each business area.
    In the following menu options, you define the rules according to which the SAP System should determine the business area automatically.
    To do this, you allocate business areas to sales areas according to different criteria.
    Note
    A business area is defined in the module FI. You should therefore collaborate with the financial accounting department here.
    Default settings
    The standard SAP R/3 System contains three rules for determining a business area:
    Rule 1: Allocation of business area for each plant and division
    Rule 2: Allocation of business area for each sales area
    Rule 3: Allocation of business area for each plant and item division
    Look at OVF2, OVF0, OVF1

  • Business Area Substitution in OBBH

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to substitute business area in accounting document generated during post goods issue in VL01N or VL02N.
    Our business requirement is as follows:
    Profit center (eg. PRCTR1)is assigned in material master. But while creating sales order another profit center (eg. PRCTR2)has to get picked up through 0KEM (Profit center substitution). System is taking correctly the second profit center (eg. PRCTR2) which we have given in susbtitution.
    System is identifying the cost center which is assigned to PRCTR2 through OKB9. Accordingly system is picking business area say 01 from the cost center master record during PGI for accounting document.
    But our requirement is to change this business area 01 to 02 through FI substitution.
    we have written logic in OBBH as follows:
    BKPF-BUKRS = '100' AND BKPF-BLART = 'WL' AND
    BSEG-HKONT = '1954' OR BSEG-HKONT = '5751' AND
    BSEG-WERKS = '100'
    Please adivse the logic anything further to add  to replace the business area and also suggest if the substitution does not work in FI area for other application area tcodes like VL01N / VL02N.
    Thanks in advance.
    Venkat

    Substitution to business area is one of taboos SAP clearly dissuades from in OSS notes.
    Business area is controlled by below customizings, and any more requirement should not be addressed.
    IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Logistics - General > Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division (OMJ7)
    IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales and Distribution > Business Area Account Assignment > Assign Business Area by Sales Area (OVF1, OVF2)
    The relationship between cost center and business area is 1 by 1. I guess you need to have separate profit center/cost center for the different business area.
    I know it can be done. GB01 right? We did that in the past. To be precise, one guy did that. That guy later realized he messed up the standard functionality F.5E.

    Check whether you have maintained here the necessary settings for plant B.

  • Business Area in Billing Document

    Dear all,
    Can you please let me know how the business area is determined in the billing document ( VF01) in Item details (Accounting & Account Assignment).
    There is no Assignment of business area at sales area or material / plant level.

    Hi,
    Business area can be determind ovf2 ovfo ovf1.
    u assign ur plant ovfo.
    Define Rules By Sales Area
    For business area account determination, you have to define for each sales area the rules according to which the SAP System should find a business area.
    Note
    If you do not specify a rule for a sales area, account determination cannot be carried out for each business area.
    Currently you cannot change the rules for determining the business area in Customizing.
    Requirements
    The sales areas must already be defined.
    Default settings
    In the standard SAP R/3 System, three rules are predefined for automatically allocating business areas during revenue account determination:
    Rule 1: Business area determination from plant and item division
    Rule 2: Business area determination from sales area
    Rule 3: Business area determination from sales organization, distribution channel and item division
    Actions
    1. Check for each sales area the rules according to which business area account assignment should be carried out.
    2. Specify one rule for each sales area for determining the business area.
    The defined sales areas are automatically displayed for maintenance.

  • Business area is not appearing in the FBL1N

    Hello Experts,
    Please give me your valuable suggestions for below issue.
    Business area is not appearing for few transactions for particular vendor in TC:  FBL1N, We are using Ecc 6.0. Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Ratnam V

    Please review note  549182  FAQ: Business Area Accounting
    in particular see point  3.
    3.         Question:
    With customer and vendor items, why can you not enter a business area?
    Answer:
    Open items are assigned to business areas depending on the expense and
    revenue items of the invoice.
    Because of this dependency, open items can be assigned to several
    business areas. Thus the assignment is no longer unique. There is a
    function available in the balance sheet adjustment that enables a
    subsequent assignment.
    With a unique dependency, the business area is copied into the open
    items not assigned to a business area during the posting of the
    document.
    Also consider SAP Note 41294 in this context.
