Business Area Balances

Dear SAP Gurus,
My client has got several business areas in one company code. I am drawing GL Account balances through F.01 for one particular company code.
The report however displays balance in 3 business areas. I tried running F.5D and F.5E but still the business areas show balance.
I then passed an adjustment entry nullifying the business area balances through FB50. But on running F.5D & F.5E this adjustment document gets reversed. Thus the balance still remains in the 3 BAs.
Can anyone give a solution for this issue. How do i make the BA balance zero.
Regards
Nikhil

Dear Gurus,
Still waiting for a reply......

Business Area Balance sheet

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have enabled business area balance sheet in Company code global parameters. At the end of everymonth our accountants having the following problem.
For Reconciliation accounts(vendor, customer etc.) and automatic posting accounts (tax, cash discount a/cs etc...) they have to give business area manually. For manual posting a/cs we are doing either FSG or FI Validation for business area. Is there anyway we can get rid of giving business area manually at the month-end for reconciliation and automatic posting accounts.
Thanks
Kishore

Hi,
For Blank Business Area in the Balance Sheet item, please execute Transaction F.5D and F.5E for the Balance Sheet Items. These transaction will post Inter Business Area Postings to balance the Business Area Balance Sheet. For the Profit and Loss Account like the discount Account, you need to execute the transaction F.5F (Profit and Loss Adjustment). However, be careful, this transaction should be executed last as part of your month end closing after all accounting documents have been posted because this transaction will post entries as many times as the transaction is executed.
Hope this helps

Business Area balances upload

Hi
How can I do the following?
I have 5 business areas defined in SAP. The 5th BA is not going to be running on SAP. Instead, we want to upload the G/L balances into SAP from its own legacy system at the end of every month/year. We will not mantain any master data of the 5th BA. Is that possible? How?
Thanks

Hi,
Good afternoon and greetings,
TxShuttle is a licensed software which can upload values from excel sheet into the SAP system. Alternatively you can create a bespoke program to call Document Post BAPI and post the entries into the books.
Please reward points if found useful.

Business Area balances at end of year

Hi
How can I do the following?
I have 5 business areas defined in SAP. The 5th BA is not going to be running on SAP. Instead, we want to enter the G/L balances into SAP from its own legacy system at the end of every month/year, maybe by a journal entry. We will "NOT" maintain ANY master data(vendor,customer,asset,etc.) of the 5th BA. Is that possible? How?
Thanks

I got to thinking about taxes, HOI, and all the prepaid items we pay at closing and was curious about something. Will closing costs be cheaper on a new build considering I'm only paying two and a half months worth because I'm closing mid-October? On my last home I closed in June, but I believe I had to pay the 6 months of HOI and taxes at closing. I could be mistaken but that's what I think I recall. Since new builds haven't had their officially built property tax assessment it's usually much cheaper the year it's built in than in the following year. If I'm not explaining this correctly I apologize. Maybe someone understands what I mean? To reiterate after all this confusion, does closing at the end of the year lessen the closing costs in any way?
Thanks for any help you paid 6 months in taxes to build the escrow account.....but the seller gave you a credit for their portion. on a purchase, it doesnt matter when you close. on a refi.... it is kind of like you are the seller. you fund the escrows and then the old mortgage company refunds all of your unused escrow funds in about a month

Asset transfer from One Business Area to another Business Area

Hello,
I am going to transfer my Asset from One Business area to another business area. So, I allready created a new asset and transfer through TCODE-ABUMN. But system gives me this error
Posting with trans.type 320 not possible (No acquisition posted)
Message no. AA324
Diagnosis
Transaction type 320 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure
Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
can any one please tell me how I transfer my Asset from one business area to another Business area?

Hi
First make sure in your company code global setting in the OBY6 for company code wise ..Iin this screen Indicator: Business area financial statements required if it is ticket
Please don't change business area for old asset . because it will effect the Business area balance sheet. So create new asset and change business area at cost center level
Finally transfer the balance from old asset to new assets in the ABUMN
OR
IF you want solution as per your issue ..Go to SPRO-> Financial Accounting-> Asset Accounting->Transactions-> Specify Default Transaction Types
Here enter Default Transaction Types 300 Transfer of retir. old assets data from cap.asset
in the filed of Transfer Between Areas
I hope it will helps you
Thanks and Regards

Business Area Prerequisite

Hi Guru's,
My Client requried activation of Business area and new Plant as well and they are not using profit center Version 4.6b
1. What all prerequisite to be taken care for activation of Business Area in an existing company code.
2. If i activate business area wise balance sheet is there any impact on existing data or all existing cost center will ask business area while posting
3. Client requried only P & L - Do we need to activate business area balance sheet for this ?
Expecting experienced guidance.
Thanks in Advance - Kumar

Hi,
It is impossible to predict exactly system behaviour for each individual customer system after activation of Business Area, but the best time to activate business area is at the creation of a new financial year. It is extremely difficult to add business
area after postings to a cost center in the middle of a fiscal year.
After activating the Business area financial statement in OB65, you have to make sure that all CO objects where a business area can be entered, have the correct one. These are for example the cost centers (ks03) and the orders (ko03).
After activating the Business area financial statement in OB65, an entry in the table RF048 will be created for every document posted. The program SAPF180A/SAPF180 will process only the documents that have an entry in this table.
Also if the balance for business areas is activated, the order necessarily requires an entry for the business area - how else
could the data for the balance be collected or traced - and the business area is a required field. If on the other hand an order
carries costs, the business area cannot be changed because e.g. CO-documents without or with another business area already exist connected with this order.
As of the standard there is no tool to make the BA assignement to documents which have already been posted. The indicator "Business Area Fin Statement" has consequences not only in FI but also in CO, MM and SD.

How to do business area adjustment

hi
Hi
I have posted different business areas for line items in some document.
Exp. Dr B.A1 -
1000
Cash Cr B.A2 -
1000
Like that
Here in the business area wise balance sheet and trail balance report, balances not tallied.
How to do this.
thank u
shusma

Hi Shusma,
If you don't use NEW-GL with balancing option you have to run report CALCULATE_BALANCE_SHEET_ADJUSTMENT (Trans. F.5D).
In addition you have to customize the system to enable Business Area balancing (trans. OB65).
Hope this answer your question.

Benni

Business Area in MIRO

Hi,
In MIRO transaction, Headers - Detail Tab, there is Business Area field.
Currently in our system the field displays blank value.
We have the requirement to be able to identify each invoice belongs to which Business Area. However we don't want a manual entry of this field during MIRO transaction. We need the value to be defaulted from either vendor master or purchase order. However I have search for business area in both vendor master and purchase order but I couldn't found it.
The questions we have are:
1. Is there a way to automatically default the business area in MIRO?
2. If it is possible, where to set the default value?
Fyi, we are on R3 4.7
Thanks a lot in advance.
Dahlia

Our system already had business area link to each plant.
However I don't think the business area value is defaulted from plant as a plant can be link to multiple business areas. Based on a plant, how do system determined which business area to be pulled to MIRO?
the business ares a is linked to the plant (and not the way back), that means from a plant you have always a unique busines area. This is set up in transaction OMJ7, pls have a look
We don't turn on the business area balance sheet (OB65). Would you please kindly advise what will be the impact to turn this on?
quite a lot... In this case don't turn it on, but that also means there won't be automatic derivation (whatever you customized in previous step)
One last question the enhancement LMR1M001 to derived the business area, from what data will system derive the business area (from vendor master, Purchase order or from where?)
it just depends on your coding, but basically you have the information in the exit, what you have normally in MIRO.
Would be good to know, what is your exact requirement, why you want to use business area in case of MIRO postings (and in case of other postings as well).

Business area not picking up for substitution...

Hi
I have created susbstitution for GL account..for substituting business area for GL account....(tax GL account
Tax line item is automatically created in document.....i want business area to be pickep up for the same.
We want substitution create for Business area updating ;- When Document has 4 line item at the time of TAX and TDS line item the Business area not update, MIRO Document also not update the Business area.
Please reply
thanks

Dear Vijay,
Please kindly read the SAP note number 199886 Business area in tax line
In the value-added tax line items, the field "Business area" is NEITHER
automatically filled NOR can you enter a value manually.
Postings to VAT accounts must be made WITHOUT business area. The reason
for this is that the field "Business area" does NOT exist in the tax
data. Therefore,the advance return for tax on sales/purchases can also
only generate postings WITHOUT business area and these postings must
correspond exactly to the original tax postings in your account
assignments. Otherwise, the tax accounts would have steadily increasing
business area balances.
Unfortunately I must inform you that the business area is not available
for substitution because it can cause inconsistences in AM,CO and MM
modules.
Substituting the B.A.field is a modification to the standard SAP
system. To make the business area field substitutable you must have
written an ABAP to update table GB01 for the GSBER field, this is
all explained in SAP note 42615.
I hope this helps.
Mauri
