Hi,
Check the assignment of Business area to your plant in OMj7 t.code.
Also check any changes done to the table T134H in SE11 with regards to Business area.

Business area changes from one to another which results error in MIRO

Hi Experts,
I am creating an incoming invoice in tcode MIRO and it upon saving, the business area changes from one to another and this results to an error which displays, "Balancing field 'Profit Center' in line item 001 not filled."
What is weird is that this error will be avoided if I enter the the business area in the invoice header details. But the line item will be posted to the second business area that I entered which is incorrect because this should be posted in the first business area.
I already checked the configurations and have no idea what to do next.
I hope you could help me solve this issue because this is crucial to our client.
Thanks so much in advance and for your support,
Larissa

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks! I found out that there is a profit center derivation exit that makes the posting incorrect.
Thanks again.

Can business area change when we post a clearing document?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the business area when we post a clearing document?
For example, we need to pay the line item that have business area 3000. Then we use transaction F110 to create a payment then a clearing docuement will be created with business area 3000. Can we configure it to change to Business area 1000 when we do the payment.
I tried to implement a FI substitution but Business area field cannot be changed(OSS Note 42615). we can do that by changing standard program but it is not recommended by SAP.
Any idea on how to do this? Configuration, BTE or any user exits? Point will be rewarded for any helpful answer.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

hi raj,
Could you please explain more about assignment and substitution? did you implement this before?
I am in doubt because OSS Note 42615 said that GSBER (Business area) must not be substituted. Therefore, if you implement it and there is no problem, I will do the same.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

Asset master business area change

I upload legacy assets using one business area now my user want to change the business area. I checked in asset master it is in display mode only. what i can do? with out creating any new asset and transfer the values.is there any way to update the business area in asset master.

there is a mass change option in the environment tab, you could have a look at that.
Have you looked at the config, to see which fields can be changed?
Also, I think you can change time dependant fields, which I presume business area would be part of.
What happens when you view the asset in AS02?

Business area change on posted documents

Hi,
We have a plant which is non related to SAP. We will run a batch input session for uploading the vendor invoices(F-43) to update in SAP.
User gave some wrong business area, so many documents got posted. Now we need to change the business area in those documents.
Anyone have any idea, any programme to change business area.
Regards,
Chandrika.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The documents are many, to reset and reverse the documents we can do it mass reversals. But to post the same and clear the documents would take lot of time.
Is there any SAP Programme which can change the business area on posted documents, so that the above process can be avoided.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandrika.

Business area change in cost center

Dear Expers,
Please guide me,
How to change the business area in cost center master data, which is having already data in that cost center, any programme to change, if i change B.A what will happen, any problem to old data which is posted with that cost center.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
It is not possible or allowed to change the master data field: business
area of the cost center once you have made postings to this cost center
period.
And normally it's also not possible to change business area during a
fiscal year once there is already postings in this Fiscal Year.
The reason is to make sure that there is no change within the fiscal
year since you then would have different postings - cost center
belonging to different business areas within the same fiscal year.
Meaning that it is possible to change the business area for the next
fiscal year like described in the long text of the error message KS134.
The reason is that it is to avoid inconsistency update of the table
(COSS, COEP, or COSP).
To change business area,you should create a new period for the cost
center with no postings to this new period and change BA then.
But if you want to change BA during FY,please review note 62716
as well as the requirements stated in the note.
I hope it helps,
Regards,

Business area is not being specified in cost center master.

Hello Professional friends,
When i specify Business area in existing cost center master data, it appears an error massage - "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
I tried to change the validity by analysis Period, when i do this, it appears anothe error " No further processing (contact your system administrator)"
Its user critical requirement that he want to specify business for all new and existing cost center.
there is no problem with new cost center.
Waiting for valuable suggestion.

Hello,
The rule is that if you make any actual or planned date within the current year, you cannot make any changes to any of the organizational units within the cost center master.
From the next year, you can remove / change the business are within the cost center master, provided:
You have to change the validity period of the cost center master by doing:
Go to KS02
Edit ==> Analysis Period
put your cursor on the valid from e.g. 01.01.1900 and click F5 (the line gets selected and become blue)
Click on Other Analysis period and then change the analysis period. The new analysis period must be starting with the first date of the next fiscal year.
Now change or remove the business area.
For this year, surely you cannot change the business area, since there postings.
Do not try to write any ABAP program to change the standard in order avoid the business area change error, it would end up data inconsistencies.
Thanks,
Ravi

2) If yes, then please help how?
3) Will the business area change will be effective from the current date or it will affect the previous records too?
In spro we have one settings which is Time-Independent Management of Organize.if i will use what is disadvantage and advantage.
Thanks alot
Sai

Dear Sai,
In relation specifically to changing the Business area I have reviewed the documentation and it is not possible to change the Business area via As02 once created.
Please could you review the document below which explains the situation clearly .
Changing Organizational Units Relevant to the Balance Sheet
There are two ways of changing the asset#s assignment to organizational units that are relevant to the balance sheet (that is, changing assignment to a business area, or changing the cost center, which in turn affects the profit center).
The first method: changing the assignment using the master data transaction However, you can only use this method if the Business area and Cost center master data fields are not managed as time-dependent. You can set the business area and cost to time-independent in Customizing for Asset Accounting. Choose Master Data. When you change one of these organizational units in the asset master record, the system automatically creates a transfer document with the
acquisition and the retirement, as well as a master data change document. The system uses the system date as the standard default posting date for the automatically created document. However, you can also change this posting date using a substitution (refer to Validation and Substitution).
It is not possible to change only one particular time interval. Changes that take effect on a specific date are also not possible. For both of these reasons, the system is not able to create a history for the assignment to a cost center/profit center. After a change is made, the system displays the new business area or cost center/profit center in all subsequent reports (even if the report is for a time period prior to the change).
The other option is to change the assignment of business area or cost center/profit center by posting an asset transfer to a new master record , rather than making the change in the asset master data. You have to use this method if the Business area and Cost center master data fields are managed as time-dependent. When you use this method, the system displays the business area or cost center that is valid for the given time period in all reports.
No matter which of these methods you use, the system ensures continuity in your business area balance sheets and profit center balance sheets.

Bernhard

Chaning business area in asset master

Hi gurus,
Can we change business area in asset master? is there any customizing or transaction?

Hi,
If you want to use the "Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units, in asset accounting under Master Data tab, please read the following SAP Notes:
SAP Note 193233 - Changing organizational unit in asset master record
SAP Note 162247 - Error AU133 or additional line item with transfer
SAP Note 210278 - RW022 when changing organizational units
Furthermore:
Purpose:
If we want to use Time-independent management of organization units, the system manages the rganizational units 'business area' and 'cost center' (and thereby 'profit center') as not time dependent in the asset master records in this company code.
Advantages:
Any change to these organizational units during master data maintenance then automatically generates a transfer posting document.
Disadvantages:
If the indicator is not set, you have to create a new asset master record (only in case of business area change), and manually transfer the entire asset, when the business area changes.
Points to be considered:
1. This method will not change the asset number. However, it will not keep track of the transfers.
2. If you set this indicator, and then change these organizational units in asset master data maintenance, the system replaces the business area and cost center (and profit center) in all existing time intervals by the new assignments.
3. After that, it is no longer possible to report on these organizational units for past time periods in Asset Accounting! This applies even if you later remove the indicator!
4. In short we will lost track of any type of past reporting on business area/Cost center.
Recommendation:
You should only change the standard setting when ALL of the following apply:
1. You do not need a history of the time-dependent assignments of an asset to a business area or cost center.
2. You create business area or profit center balance sheets.
3. You expect to make frequent changes to the assignments to business areas or cost centers.
Thanks

Personnel Subarea/Business area- update infotye 1

Hi All:
When you change an org unit to cost center relationship, the corresponding infotype 1 record on the employee(s) in that org unit changes to reflect the new cost center assignment.
I would like to use similiar functionality to create/change infotype 1 records when a subeara or business area changes on a position.
Does anyone know if there is anything standard we could tap in to do this?
If not, what would be the best way to do this? Would a dynamic action work?
Thanks in advance!
Sara

Hi
You can asssign This to Position at IT1008
And Assign that position to employee in PA30
subarea and business area will reflect in IT 0001.

How to change the database in a business area

Hello All,
I am trying to figure out a way to change the database that a business area connects to. When I created the business area I selected to look at tables from the default database. Now I need to change that setting to connect to a different database. The tables are exactly the same on both databases. I just need to change the database that the business area looks at.
Is there a simple way of accomplishing this? I want to avoid having to recreate the business area.
Thank you very much in advanced for your help with this matter.
Del Benavides.

Hi,
Select all your folders in Disco Administrator,ALT+ENTER to go to properties, then change the database from the default database to the remote database.
Hope that helps,

Problem in changing business area in asset master record - urgent

I am facing this problem while trying to change the cost center of an asset to another cost center belonging to a different business area. We are on ECC 6.0.
I have activated time independent management of organizational units for my company code, and business area and cost center field is becoming editable. But when I try to change the cost center, the system asks whether I want to overwrite existing time dependent data. When I click "No", it asks to enter the validity start date for the new cost center.
Here is where the problem comes. When I try to save the asset, the system tries to generate a FI posting, and cannot find the profit center (made mandatory in document splitting).
I have checked in debugging (in a separate program used for substitution) that initially prctr field for bseg is populated, but in spite of that while posting the document, the system cannot determine the profit center.
If any one has faced this problem and knows the solution, kindly help.

Pls check if you have maintained profit centers under General Ledger Accounting (New) > Master Data> Profit Center--> Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts
