Business Area Creation Issue

I just created a new business area and some folders have the number 1 following the name.
I used a valid schema.
There were no duplicate tables in the schema used to create the business area.
I am not aware of duplicate tables in the EUL used to create the business area but there may be some.

This is from Jim Syverson, the originator of the issue. Thank you for the guidance and information. I found the "orphan" folders in a highly specific business area in the EUL that someone had created to perform a specific task, probably for an organizational segment with a specialized function.
I think there is a powerful argument for not proliferating specialized business areas. Folders in a "schema wide" business area can be grouped and labeled as to function so that users can identify which folders apply to them and further, folders can be made invisible and even further, role based security can limit access to specific folders, even data items.
Thanks again.

Business Area import issue

In Test I had to delete a couple folders from a Business Area(BA). But after migration a new copy of BA into Production those folders still appear. Here is my migration plan:
1. Export the BA from Test
2. Import the BA into Production using the following criteria:
- Refresh the object and then check the sub-box called Preserve display related properties
- two objects be matched by Identifier
3. Refresh the BA
Also I`d like to mention that this BA was in Production before Migration
Thank you in Advance.

Hi
It sounds as though you may have deleted the folders from the business area but not from the EUL. If this is the case, and the folders still exist inside Production, then when you import from Test into Production, the folders will be there attached to the business area.
If you really don't want the folders you should completely delete them from the Test EUL, or are you saying that you did this? If you're absolutely certain that you deleted them from Test, then exported the Test business area and imported it into Production, matching by identifier, then it sounds like there is an issue. You may need to manually delete folders in both areas.
You see, if a folder exists in production and not in the import from Test, how does Discoverer know that you did not intentionally not export that folder? I don't think it can detect that something is no longer there. Its a bit like saying give me the ID numbers of all the rows in the database that got deleted today so that I can go and delete them from the data warehouse. You cannot because they don't exist. I think your best plan would be to delete them from both areas, either that or delete the business area from production and reimport it from Test.
Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

Business area creation in command line

Dear Pals,
My discoverer version is
Discoverer Version:Server 10.1.2.55.26 with EBS r12.0.4.
I created EUL using eulapi and given SYSADMIN full access on the same. I've also imported Discoverer loader files. Now it is possible to create a Business area in command line. Now , I dont have Disco admin edition , so I couldn't able to create a business area using that. I have to do it in Command line. The requirement that 2 business areas has to be cretaed for Module HRMS.
Is it possible to create a Business area in command line ?
Please guide
Kai

Hi,
Is it not possible to create business areas in discoverer viewer and discoverer plus ?. No, it is not possible.
You could using the eulapi load command to load all HR database objects into an HR business area. However, this would not create any joins between objects so would not be very useful for creating reports using Discoverer viewer and plus.
If you need to develop a custom EUL then you need to use Discoverer Administrator.

Treasury Management- split postings by business areas

Hi,
Currently we have the FSCM TM set up in a way that we do not differentiate by Business Areas. All postings go to central place and distributed later by percnetage base.
In additional account assignments we have only one receiver defined. So the number of posting references/ product Types/ transaction types is fairly smal
Because business requires better visibility and more exact assignment we would now have to differentiate in posting from Treasury a potential split.
To me it seems like we would need to have the differentiation enabled through creating new transaction types.
Is there a another way to achieve this? Can we use different separator fields? Is there a user exit we could use for this ?::::
Any hints highly appreciated
Thanks
Hein

Hi,
just to clarify:
One deal is per posting. There is a 1:1 between deal and business area, no split of this into multiples.
However, I do not have this field business area in the deal creation and as such it is not passed on through to FI postings.
As stated above there is an option to have this via posting reference and product and transaction type differentiated- but is there an easier way than having so many transaction types as business areas?
Issue is, we have about 10 different business areas that have treasury deals.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Hein

Plant & business area validation in asset creation

Dear All,
Am working in a plant & business area validation which will fire the error msg when wrong plant is assigned at time of asset creation. Issue is for a company we have 19 business area and each business area assigned to various plant. In order to avoid the individual step for each business area, have merged two or more business area in pre-requiste section and correspondingly plant had been validated in check section. But when am inserting two check conditions, its not even working as per the logic, For ex :
Pre-Requiste :
( ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1101' ) AND (
ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1102' )
Check :
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1307' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1308' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1309' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1304' ) AND
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1305' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1306' ANLZ-WERKS = '1344' )
For the above condition system not validating as per business area since if we entering business area 1101 and entering the plant which related to 1102 business area, system not throwing the error msg where as if we put a single condition in a step its working fine.
Kindly suggest me how to overcome this by avoiding individual step creation for each business area.
Regards,
Balaji.c

Hi,
I have chnaged my validation in the following way as follows,
Pre-requiste :
Co code=XXXX
Check:
Business area = XXXX AND Plant = XXXX.
This condition is working fne for one business area, where as if i include more than one business area in the check section system not validating the condition, in a step its validating only one condition. Since 21 business area available for a co code its not feasible to create individual step.
Kindly suggest me is there any other alternative way to overcome this.

PS Issue Business Area and Profit Center - differing in WBS to Network

Hi
my team has used COPY NETWORK option and copied a network under WBS in Project Builder (CJ20N), It has observed that org elements of WBS and Network, Acticity are differing.
Now there are thounds of records of the same, (Org Elements differing in WBS to Network).
Can you sugest me is there any option to resolve the issue and settlement can be made correctly
regards
sri

Hi
Once actual postings are made on object (like network or WBS element) you cannot change CO elements (profit center, business area). Those will be disabled. However if no postings happen then you can edit those data.
If postings already happened and you are not able to change the fields, you can create new network and activity under same WBS element and can transfer the cost (line item wise) through FI (I belive F-02 or FB50 transactions). Please check with your FI counter part once.

Issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi Gurus...
I have facing an issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled
I have maintained material management small difference account (DIF), to post the small differences... between PO value and (vendor) Invoice Value....
At the time of posting invoice system giving this error... even after maintaining the business area and profit center in MIRO transaction...
Here we have activated Document splitting in FI, also Business Area & Profit Center are mandatory fields..
Pls give some inputs in fixing this issue..
Thanks in advance....
Regards
Shashidhar..

Hi
There could be multiple reasons for this. Pls check on:
1. For the Expense Account assigned in DIF, have u made the assignment for deriving Profit Center & Business Area in T Code OKB9
2. Ask your FI Consultant to check the Splitting Characteristics for the MIGO. Check the Splitting Characteristics assigned to the Accounting Document Type assigned to T Code MIGO. Also check if all the GL Accounts have been assigned a splitting characteritics. The path is:
IMG> Financial Accounting(New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting
3. Do you maintain profit center as a default in material Master? If yes, check if the same has been assigned in the view extended for the plant concerned?
Pls check the settings. If any doubt, revert back.
Thanks & Best Regards

Business Partner creation - Sales Area Data retrieves blank divisions

During business partner creation, the sales area data assignment block will retrieve a list of all relevant sales organizations, distribution channels, and divisions that are replicated from ECC. This is working fine. However, it also adds to this list with the sales organizations, distribution channels, and blank divisions. Blank divisions do not exist in either ECC or CRM. It appears to be using the dummy division settings, but I have attempted to configure with the indicator "CRM Header Div. Active" as both active and inactive, to no effect. The only time I have been able to condense this list into a single line has been when I actually activated dummy divisions -- to which CRM would now retrieve only sales organizations, distribution channels, and blank divisions. This is not an ideal solution either.
How do I get the system to remove the blank divisions from being displayed? It is very confusing to the users, not to mention polluting the screen.
Example (both are being displayed, I only want the one with an actual value to be displayed):
Sales Org = 1000, Dist Chan = 10, Division = blank
Sales Org = 1000, Dist Chan = 10, Division = 10

any insight woudl be much appreciated. thanks.

Business area issue

Hi experts,
My user has passed entry without business area.Now while he use to reverse it through OB08/F-02,the system is picking up business area.System should not accept business area.
Please advise.
Regards,
Samar

Hi,
You can perform the following steps: First you can try this scenario in quality then only go for production client
1.Run F.5D&F.5E - Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
2.Goto T.Code:OB65: Deactiviate business area indicator and save the data
3.Again run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
4.Post a JV in F-02 for reversal or try to use FB08
5. Go to T.Code: OB65 : Activate business area
6. run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document in spet1 should not pick up.
Hope it should work, i followed the same steps earlier and able to resolve this kind of issue.
Imp: If this transaction works well in quality client then only go for production client. While doing the same activity in production client make sure that no user should work at that momement, it means you should carryout this job, after office hours and when there were no users on the system. If anybody are working, their entries may flow without business area.
All the best
Prasad

Import business area issue

Hi Discoverer friends,
I recently created a buisness area with a workbook in development eul and imported into the production eul. I first exported the business area and workbook separatly from Dev/Test using discoverer admin.I then Imported the BA and workbook into Production in admin using the default settings except that - Refresh the object( the sub-box Preserve display related properties was not checked) I also refresh the BA. The imported workbook worked fine, but a workbook for another BA ( say BA1) failed to work. I looked into the issue and discovered that there were multiple BAs in the same EUL where the new BA (say BA3) was imported into. The folders in BA3 were 80% the same as what in BA2. However, the problem was in BA1 as some of the worksheets failed. I looked into the SQL for the failed worksheet and to my surprise, the query in BA1 joined with some of the tables in BA3. Please note: BA1 had no such folder and even no joint to these tables in BA3.
It is either a bug or something I missed or did wrong with my import of the BA3 as after I deleted both BA1/BA3, imported BA1 only and it turned out OK for BA1.
So What I should do to import the BA3?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
my Discoverer admin edition is 9.0.4. Database 9.2.4. Application server 9.0.4.2 and Discoverer Plus used is 9.0.4.45.02.
Thank you very much,
Jeff

Hello,
Are NewGL and document splitting active in your system? If yes, you should solve this problem with using splitting function.
Otherwise, you can use business transaction event 00001120.
I explained step by step how can you activate BTE 00001120. I give you message below.
Re: FBCJ - Cash Journal Transaction
In this exit, you must update t_bsegsub-gsber field which t_bseg-buzid = 'T' for tax item.
But you can not split tax line items in this exit. For example in invoice you have 2 or more business area, but tax line item doesn't create for each buiness area (If you don't use document splitting functon). So in this exit you can only assign a business area to tax line item which is automatically generate while posting FI document.

Creation of New Business Area

Hi Experts,
I want to create a new Business Area in my system and my worry is will that have an impact on my live system.I tried out a possiblilty by creating a new Bus Area T-Code OX03 and created a new Profit and CostCenter for the same in QA Server.
I tried out posting Journals for the same and the output was ok in FBL1/3/5N.
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 with Sp Purpose Ledger functionality.Do i need to do any further customization for the same.Since i want to create this new BA in Live server now.
Regards
Rahul

Business Area is an org. unit which you would want to fill in your documents, so you could draw business area-wise financial statements. I think you are good to go with what you have done in QA system, if you do the same in your Prod. system. But, what would happen to the documents that already exist in Prod. system. You must come out with a way to populate those documents with the business area, if applicable. If not (I mean, if it is a completely new business area for use in future only), your job is easy.
