  • Business Area vs. Profit Center Accounting

    Hi all,
    I have a doubt regarding this issue.
    Our customer is a holding composed by 3 legal entities, each one with its own Balance Sheet. The company produces in such a way that they need to plan production and purchases globally (for the 3 legal entities).
    I searched how to deal with this, and if a create 3 different company codes it is really difficult to plan production and purchases for the 3 company codes globally. The most suitable solution would be to use STO process (stock transfer orders), but the purchases would be done by only one company code and this is not what the customer wants because only this company code would have tax credits.
    I am now thinking about having one company code divided into 3 different business areas or profit centers, but I am not sure which solution will be better, taking into account that each legal entity must submit a separate Balance Sheet. In Sap Help, I found that it is better to have different business areas if each organizational unit must submit external presentatios. But I was told that Profit Center Accounting came to replace Business Area. Is that right? May I use Business Area to do so or Profit Centers ? Which one is the most reccomendable?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    hi,
    if u r setting as a business area,still u need to follow the reporting procedures to the local authorities, such as banks,tax,etc. but,if u do it as a profit center,it will come under ur internal entity (controlling), and for the local authorities,ur holding entity will take care of reporting,etc.
    thanks..

    We can change the filed in posted document throgh below way,
    For that go to OB32 and give a document change rule and save it for that field.
    Next you can change the document business ares after posting a document - use Tcode FB03 (select the document) and go to line item display. There click on the pencil icon (change line items) and then in the tool bar from Go To -> click document header. You will find document header or line tem .There business area is in edit mode.

  • 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

  • Profit centre & Business Area in SD

    hello
    I have some doubts.
    I want to know what is sifnificance of Profit centre in SD. where it is used?
    And my second question is do we maintain business area only for material?Is it used only to determine G/L accounts onl?.
    So please update my knowledge.
    thanks

    HI
    The profit center valuation view shows you the cost of goods manufactured from the profit center viewpoint and valuation according to transfer price conditions
    Business areas are primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes, covering the company's main areas of operation (product lines, branches).
    You can assign all balance sheet items, such as fixed assets, receivables, payables, and material stock, as well as the entire P&L statement directly to business areas. You can only assign banks, equity, and taxes manually to business areas indirectly. For this reason, it is not possible to create the legally-required financial statements and tax reports at business area level. Financial statements at business area level are therefore only suitable for internal reporting.

  • 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,

  • Document Splitting with Different Business Area

    HI
    I have a situation, where i need to create a new document type and it needs to be configured in such a way that vendor invoices and credit notes can be booked with the correct doc splitting and using different Business Areas.
    I like to know if this is possible, and if yes how.
    Earlier the client used to post the transactions, with different business areas, as we get only a warning message to reset the business area of the vendor.
    Now that we have activated New G/L accounting, with document splitting we get the warning message,
    but then the profit center will not balance, so we have an error.
    The client requires that they need to post to a different business area, and the document splitting should happen.
    Any suggestions on this will be great.

    Hi Srikanth,
    In my config setting under Document Splitting i have the Zero Balance ticked for it.
    My Scenario is as an Ex. I am debiting a G/L account for 1000, and giving Business Area X, with a cost Center which is assigned to Business Area X.
    And Crediting a Vendor for 1000 with Business Area Y.
    Will this scenario work with Document Splitting enabled, i am doubtful on this, but my client needs this.
    Can you tell me if this is a possible scnerio.
    If yes then how?

  • Business Area should be defined

    Hi
    I proposed that each location (branches) of my client should be defined as an profit center (for getting trial balance at business area level).
    But my client is insisting for creating location as a business area and not profit center.
    But i think business area concept is obsolete in SAP ECC6.0. I believe that the SAP has stop providing support for business area.
    I want to show the OSS note or some link on the basis of which i can tell that it is better to use profit center than business area.
    Please help where i can get this link or OSS note

    Meenu,
    I can't speak for what SAP will support/improve in the future.  You can raise a message with SAP if you have doubts. ECC6 has improved functionality that reduces the need for Business area reporting, but I have never heard that SAP does not intend to support. 
    Use of Business Area is optional, but it is definitely supported in ECC6.  And, ECC6 will be in 'standard' maintenance until end of 2015, extended maintenance until end of 2017.  Will your consulting contract last longer than that?
    At the end of the day, if the client wants it, and it solves his business requirements, and it is currently available, then why shouldn't you accommodate him?

  • Cross com code business area postings

    hi  sap guru,s
    how to post cross com code business area postings ?
    thaks in advance

    Hello,
    You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
    In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
    OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
    Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
    Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
    Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
    Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
    OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
    You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
    The system will post three document.
    Document 1 in First Company Code
    Document 2 in Second Company Code
    and
    Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
    The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
    Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
    Please let me know in case if you need further details.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • Use Profit Center instead Business Area in LP

    Hello,
    I am following SAP Notes 746810 - Free use of Business area account assignment dimension and SAP Note 763985 - Structured substitution of the business area.
    The main idea is to change the dimension Business Area per Profit Center in the Liquidity Calculation.
    In the table FLQGSBER_SUBST was expanded and I added the field ZZPRCTR (Profit Center).
    My doubt is related to the maximum length 4 for Business Area and the profit center here is length 10. How can I convert it?
    Do you know which exit function I have to tought?
    Than you in advance
    Mauricio Brigide

    Hi Mauricio,
    Did you have success with those notes application? We need to show cash flow by profit or cost center and we believe that this procedure can help us to achieve this LP Gap.

  • Difference between business area and sales area

    Hi
    I am swetha i have one doubt
    1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
    2)  what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
    3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.
    Regards
    Swetha

    Hii..
    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.
    Hope this clears.

  • Invalid Business Area in combination with company code

    Dear Expert,
    I have just created a new business area, however, when doing a posting against the new business area I got prompted an error message "Invalid Business Area 7000 with combination of company code 0001". Could anyone tell me what setting did I miss?
    Thank you

    Hi...
    As per your issue..i think your company is using validation for your   business area avoiding miss usage.
    In this case once created new business area you have to update new business area in GGB0 T.code at company code level
    So go to GGB0 and click on Financial accounting -> line item -> here select your company code and click on business area here enter your new business area and save it after that come back one step and select your company code go to Validation at menu bar select transport.
    I hope it will helps you and let me know if you have any doubts

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory
