Business Area in FI Doc Differs in COPA Doc

Hello,
In an FI document, business area was different against the business area recorded in COPA document. We could not trace how this happened.
FI Doc BA1
PA Doc BA2
To correct, we reversed the FI document. But, reversal did not meet the objective. Business Area in PA doc was then the same with FI doc.
FI Doc BA1
PA Doc BA1
So, there's now misstatement between the two.
We adjusted the PA via KB41N (Manual Repost of Revenue). And it was then balanced.
PA Doc BA2
PA Doc BA1
But KALC was ran at month end. CO is always reconciled with FI at month end. Hence, the adjustment made via KB41N was made with FI doc. FI & PA is again, not balanced. As if KB41N was not posted.
How do you handle this difference as to business area in FI & PA?

Hi
There are 2 things to it
1. 1st to rectify the situation, you can post a adjustment from KE21N.. where in you post a -ve posting for wrong BA and then normal posting for correct bus area
Or, you can use KE26 also which will repost in one shot...
2. 2nd is to identify the cause what triggered the wrong bus area in COPA... Check if you have some derivation rule in place which dictates a business area.... Or try to create the same scenario again and check whats the business area...
In order to put a break point and check the derivation rule while posting billing document, use Function module KEDR_COPA_DERIVE.
Set DEBUG-SHOW_TRACE to 'X' in order to get a trace list at the end. I think you do this in your user id in SU01 parameters
Set DEBUG-BREAK_AT to the step number, say, 0035 if you want to analyze step no 35 of KEDR. The system will stop in the process loop for that step.

Business area is not reflecting in A/c doc

Hi
After creating the sales invoice when accounting doc is generated i can only see the business are for customer line account and sales receivable a/c, but for other accounts like service tax, edu cess, higher edu cess business area is not picking.(in FB03). In configuration we have assigned bus area to plant and division wise.
Where to configure so that Bus Area shouls reflect in all line items in FB02.

Debasish

Dear Laxmipati
Thanks for the reply.But we maintain only one business area for one invoice as it is a service related invoice and the invoice line item is always one.So there is no case of multiple bus area.
Plz guide.......

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.

Payment clearing on amount with mismatching business areas

Hi, gurus:
We recently activated AR module under 4.6c.
We use automatic clearing which calls FB1D, based on amount match between the cash receipt and the invoice.
The invoice comes with an business area, but the cash receipt record (RM doc type) has a blank business area.
The payment will clear, but SAP actually creates a new WO record to clear the invoice. The WO record contains the business area from the invoice.
The RM cash receipt record has no business area after the payment clearance. This creates a problem for us during reporting for the business area, and the new WO record also screws up the real WO amount in our Write-Off reports.
Is there a user exit in FB1D(SAPMF05A) that would allow us to add the business area to the RM record during payment clearance, and avoid the creation of the WO record ?
Thanks.

May be you can use Substitutions:

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?

GR/IR Automatic Clearing for Different Business areas items

Hello All,
we have different business areas, and some times we create a PO for all business areas and invoice it in a specific business area
in F.13 automatic clearing:
for GR/IR account
Documents with different business area cannot be cleared.
any idea to solve this issue is appreciated,

Thanks for your reply,
I've tried such a solution with more parameters ( EBELN, XREF3 and EBELP)
but in F.13 :
- the document cannot be cleared when >>> selecting GR/IR account special process.
if we treat GR account as a normal GL account, I mean without selecting GR/IR account special process.
the document can be clear
i want to be able to clear the document with selecting GR/IR field ( is it possible )
and if it is not allowed, do we will face a problem by clearing GR account without selecting GR/IR parameter ??
Many Thanks

Different Business Area in Customer line item while Billing

Dear Friends,
We are on Ecc 6.0 and We have a requirement of Different Business Area in Customer line while billing. Since we had defined Business area location wise and requirement is Sundry Debtors should always book to Location as maintained in delivery plant field of sales area data in customer master.
Requirement:- Our material is assigned to Plant 115.In customer master, sales area data -> shipping tab -> Delivery Plant (KNVV- VWERKS), we are maintaining "112", Now while billing and while generating Accounting document account entry is
Customer 1000.00 (Business area=115)
sales 1000.00 (Business area=115)
But our requirement while accounting document after billing is
Customer 1000.00 (Business area=112), system should check and derive the same from TABLE KNVV - VWERKS(DEL PLANT)
sales 1000.00 (Business area=115).
Please revert.

Dear Friends,
One can do the same via using a userexit.

Tax amount line item with Business area in Billing Doc generating to A/cing

Hi,
While generating the Billing Doc, for the Tax amount line item , the Business area shd be populated. How this can be done? while for the othter line items it is displaying but not for the tax amount line item.

In ECC 6.0 with document splitting and new GL business area would be available in the general ledger view for tax postings. For earlier versions than ECC 6.0 use balance sheet adjustment program SAPF180 to populate business area for tax items.
Thanks and regards

How to Clear GR/IR when business area is different.

Dear All,
Using F.13 i cleared my GR/IR account. After doing this there are some items left, which are still not cleared. On verification found that the business area is different in GR and IR i.e, The BA on GR/IR is different on accounting documents for material document (MIGO) and invoice (MIRO).
We are using the criterion ZUONR in OB74 (addition rules for automatic clearing).
How should I proceed to clear these documents.

Srinivas.

Please let us know how it is resolved.

Material Master Prft Segments are flowed in COPA Doc But not in FI Doc

Dear Experts,
When we create and save the invoice VF01, system generated FI, CO and COPA doc.
Here Material relevant Profitability Segments (material Code-0001, Plant-10, Profit Center-1000) are flowed properly in COPA Doc.
But in FI document flowed only SD relevant Profitability Segments but not material relevant.
And Dummy profit center has been populated in FI doc instead of profit center 1000 (which is available in material Master).
Please assist me reg thisu2026.

Proper use of one table in different business areas

Hi
We will be using certain DB tables in several business areas and we are more than one person to define them.
If a table is loaded from the database for each of the business areas it will be numbered 'table 1, 2...' which does't seem very desirable. Also I'd rather define hiearchies only once and for all.
If a table is loaded only once and used for all the business areas all the joins which are necessary in the different business areas are shown. This will be confusing. If one of us considers a certain join unnecessary he might accidentially delete the wrong one belonging to a different business area.
Exporting the business areas including the joins regularly is probably not a great help if afterwards new joins for other business areas were added.(?)
Am I misunderstanding the concept of Discoverer?
How do you handle such a situation?
Advice appreciated
Franziska

Hi Michael, et al,
I'm just planning my EUL and your comments in the last post seem relevant.
My general plan is as follows:
(1) Create a BaseMaster BA which is used to bring and tables/views from the database into disco. The folders in here will be created with "New Folder from database" and be fairly straightforward, with only very simple calculations and no aggregations in calculations. The joins will echo the joins in the underlying database. This is not shared with Users.
(2) Create a CustomMaster BA which contains Custom Folders which consist of various SQL views of the database. The SQL in these may use have some more complex calculations and these calculations may include aggregation. This will not be shared with users.
(3) Create a CentralMaster BA which contains Complex Folders which are assembled from items from the BaseMaster BA and the CustomMaster BA. These folders may include more complex calculations and the calculations may include aggregated items.
(4) Create a number of User BA's. Using Manage Folders, share the relevant Folders from the Central Master.
I've got a few questions relating to this.
(a) Custom Folders based on Folders
It would seem nice to me if it were possible to create Custom Folders which were based on other Folders, rather than Database Views. Then, even if you need a view and a complex transformation of that view in your business area, you still only have one place where the EUL brings that view into disco. My understanding is that this is not possible. Am I right? I suppose there could be an argument that complex transformations should be pushed back to the DBA but it seems reasonable to me that sometimes this sort of thing could be within the remit of the disco admin?
(b) SQL Efficiency
Am I right in thinking that generally a complex folder is usually not much less efficient than using a base folder because the SQL interpreter ends up optimising the SQL?
And a last question which has turned out rather complex - by all means ignore it if you like - it's me getting to grips with the process.
(c) Nested Complex Folders
I presume that if a transformation is needed which would in a normal database environment would need a mainquery and a subquery, then this could be done in a
number of ways (adhering to the above methodology) by:
(i) Get the DBA to write a view which does both mainquery and subquery and then bring into the BaseMaster and then straight into the CentralMaster folder.
(ii) Get the DBA to write the subquery, bring this into the BaseMaster and then implement the mainquery in the CentralMaster.
(iii) Create a Folder in CustomMaster which implements both mainquery and subquery and then bring this into the CentralMaster folder.
(iv) Create a Folder in the CustomMaster which implements just the subquery and then implement the main query in the Central Master.
If you've got this far - thankyou for baring with me.
Perhaps there's something written about this sort of thing or maybe it's just a matter of practice!
Any thoughts on all this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Suhada
