Business Area : Diff between Division & Item Division

Hi,
In SAP we can determine business area with 3 diff rules.
Oner is through sales area (Sales. OrgDist channel Division) second one is by plant and item division.and the last one is through Sales orgdist ChannelItem division.
Can any one tell me what is the difference between DIVISION and ITEM DIVISION ?
Regards
debasish

Debasish,
First, it should be clear about what is "Header division " and "Item division".
Header division
In the create order screen , we enter a order type e.g. OR and our Sales area.
Suppose our Sales area is 1000/10/00, then this sales is copied to the header data and called as Header sales area also.
The division here is called "Header division".
Here ,header division is "00".
Item division
Any material is uniquely belong to only one "Division",which we maintain in the material master in the "Basic data 1".
This is called "Item division".
When you create a sales document ,system searches this item division and copies it to the sales document,which you find in the item detail.
Now,coming to your question.
In the , Sales document type, you have these two check boxes, "Check division" and "Item division".
If the Item division field is not activated ,then system will not search the material master to which division the material belongs to. In this case the header division is copied to each item.
So while you process various related errors will come.
The check division field controls how the system will behave if the header division & Item division are different.

Substitution of Business Area for Tax Line Items for Invoices posted in MM

Hi
We have one Business Area for every company code. A substitution rule has been created to populate Business Area in Tax Line Items, while booking vendor invoice. The substitution rule has been defined as
Prerequite
Company Code = 1234 and GL = 1323232
Substitution
Business Area = 6668
The system is working fine, when the Vendor Invoice is posted through FI. However, when the vendor invoice is generated through MIRO or MIR7, the Business Area is not substituted.
In Table VWTYGB01, we have maintained BSEG-GSBER as a field allowed for substitution with Boolean Class 09.
We have created the susbstitution rule for Text and Assignment also and the rules are working fine for all document posted through FI and MM

Hi
Business Area is a sensitive field, agreed. However, the substitution rule is working fine for FI posted documents and the issue is in MM generated documents.

In GL Master- Diff between Open Item & Balance Summary

Hi Experts
In GL Master- Diff between Open Item & Balance Summary ?
Regards
Ramakanth

Hi,
Open Item :- Select this tick if you want to see all individual line items that makes the total of the account. By selecting this tick you will be able to see both open and cleared items. GR/IR accounts should be managed on open item basis.
Line Item:- Tick this if you want to see the balance of an account by individual postings. Generally Revenue & Expense accounts should be managed on line item basis.
Hope this will help.

Business area issue in consumption items

Dear Sapgurus,
while doing in me21n with cost center k means consumptions system says popup error mesage, but in same in me21n tradable gooks i am not facing any issue.
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Procedure for System Administration
Double-post

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.

Diff. between header & item condition

Pls let me know the diff. between header & item condtion in SD.
How to define header & item seprately

Hi Prem,
You can make a Condition Type a Header Condition by checking the "Header Condition" check box in
SPRO -> Sales & Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types.
In turn, it can be made an Item Condition by checking the
"Item Condition" check box.
In an Sales Order doc you can assign a header condition by choosing the "Display document header details" button at the top right of the screen, then move to "Conditions" tab and Add the Header Condition type to the list of Conditions.
Similarly, item conditions can be set by selecting the line item and choosing the "Item Conditions" button and adding the Item Condition type.
Hope it answers your query completely.

Raj

Missing business area in FG line item

Hi All,
We are starting a new company code that implements business areas. We've linked the business areas to our plants and division and also configured that the sales area picks up the business area from our plants and division. However, when we post outbound delivery through VL01N, the line item for Finished Goods account (in FI doc) does not get the business area. When we check the COS account, it has a business area. Only the FG account doesn't. Isn't it supposed to be automatically derived? Please advice what may be the cause of this and what we can do so that the FG line item would get the same BA. Thank you!

Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
There are 2 options here now -
1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
or
2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
The advantages of using the second option is:
1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business Areas...
Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
You can define business area in
Path: Img-enterprise structure Definition--Financail Accounting --- Define Business area.
Same pathe: Assignment---Assign Business area to Consolidation business area.
Same Path: Logistics General --- Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area & Division
I hope this clears.

Business Area for Vendor Line Items during Payroll Posting

Dear All
We are in ECC 6 version of SAP. We are using Business Area for Internal Financial Statement. We are facing a problem with regard to Business area in Payroll posting. Business area does not appear in vendor line items when we make posting of payroll for multiple business area. We have setting technical accounts for HR. We read SAP note 203276 and it seems that it is possible. Can someone tell us what is the reason that business area not coming in vendor line item while payroll posting.

Hi
That part we have already done. The problem only come when we run payroll and there are vendors belonging to several business area in that case system keep the business area field blank. In case if we set field status required system give error. That is why we run payroll by each business area we also have maintained technical account for 1001.

Business Place & Business Area in VAT Line item in MIRO

Hi Gurus,
I want to defualt the following values in the VAT line item in while doing MIRO.
1. Business place in the "VAT line item" to be defaulted from the "Vendor Line item".
2. Business area in the "VAT line Item" to be defaulted from its relevant "Material / Expense/ GR/IR Line item".
The same thing i have done in FB60 transaction by using a BADI. But the same BADI is not working for MIRO.
What the BADI does it goes and updates the BSEG table for the fields "Bupla (Business Place) & GSBER(Business Area).
But while doing MIRO the BSEG table is not called at all and hence the BADI which is used earlier is not able to update the fields and hence cannot be used.
I feel the reason could be that while doing MIRO the BSEG table is not called directly but it is called through a Function Module. In such case a BADI will be required which will call the relevant Function module.
Need your help in how to update the VAT Line Item's Business Place & Business Area in the MIRO document.
Will award points if issue is resolved or if your answer is useful.

Prasad

Hi
Try using substitution maintained in FI.Transaction code OBBH.
Maintain the prerequisite based on the Transaction code.
Copy the same logic used in BAdi for the exit created.
We have used this for similar type of requirements

Diff between Gen Item Catg Group & Item Cat group In MM01

HI Gurus,
What is the difference between Gen Item Catg Group & Item Cat group In MM01?
Cheers,
Chitty

Hi
There are several posts on same issue you can find out in sdn threads
Item Category determines the processing of any Item/material that we enter in a sales order and in this way it also effects the procesing of any sales doc in which it is used.
Item Category Group is one of the component which along with the Sales Doc Type, The Item Usage and Higher Level Item Category decide about the Item Category in a sales doc.
for example we can ERLA as item cat group and carry out the header level pricing or we can LUMF and do the item level pricing in case of a Sales BOM.
General item category group talks about further classification of a material. Like NLAG- non stock material can be used to identify bom header items, service items.
Item category group and general item category group difference
Re: difference between general item category group /item category group

Tokens are diffirent between CAP file and Export File

hi Safamer, hi all guys.
firstly, thanks all for concerning my issue.
As i know, java card technology link components base on TOKEN.
But the question is: the token in Export file and in the CAP file are different. So, how can off-card installer can link everything.
For example.
My_Package1:
Class1:
protected field1
private field2
public filed3
---> in the ExportFile, i have token for filed1 and field3 are 0 and 1 correspondingly. But in the CAP, these are not.
Thanks for your answer.
Edited by: hoan_micheal on Jun 14, 2011 1:41 AM

dear guys!
I check very careful for this issue. And the results are:
- With the instance Field, virtual method ( i mean non-static), the token in the ExportFile and the token in the CAPFile is SAME
- with the static Filed and STATIC Method, the token is different and i don't see any rule to link these tow value. For example
--------------------------------------------------------------------CAP file --------------------------------------------ExportFile
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\public----------private --------------------------------------token

Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

Hello Experts,
We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.
I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like
1. Creation of Business Area
2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)
3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)
4. Business Area by Sales Area
5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account
It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.
But
In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)
I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.
Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi,
I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.
The best you can do is:
1. Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line
or
2. You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account. This will then force the user update the BA. We use this option. This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.
Cheers.
