Business Area in G/L Account

Hi frenz,
In G/L account I need Business Area to be displayed.
All settings were done.
Its already working perfectly in a company code.
But I am not able to get it in other company code.
I want it in  field status group (G006).
Business area is maintained as optional.
When it is working fine in one company code ,
why not in another?
kindly help
Regards,
Vimal

Hi,
You can only link to the business area if you have created one in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI).
When creating/changing business entities, you may be required to enter the business area (required field) even although this field has been set as optional in Customizing. In this case, the field status setting is overridden by the "Enable business area balance sheet" in FI. If this field is set in FI Customizing, the business area field has to be filled in for all FI postings.
For FI postings on Real Estate objects for which there is no business area assignment, the business area is derived from the business entity. Consequently it would not be possible to make automatic postings on Real Estate objects if the business entity has no business area.
The field status control for the business area field on the business entity only has an effect when the business area balance sheet has been disabled in FI.
To post items in a business area, enter the business area when you enter the business transaction. However, the business area can also be derived from other account assignments, such as the cost center. To enable the system to do this, you must define the business area in the cost center master record.
If you enter a cross-company code document, you can post to different business areas across all company codes in one document. As a result, any number of combinations of company code and business area are possible.
For further details, please refer the following link:

I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

  • Difference between Business area and profit center accounting

    Hi Frnds,
    Can any body explain about difference between business area and profit center accounting .

    Hi
    Business area will have many profit centers. For example Vehicle is a business area in a company. Vehicle can be cars and Bikes etc. Here Vehicle is business area and Cars and Bike are profit centers. In broad Vehicle is a profit center. But as it has sub areas those are profit centers. So profit centers cannot be replaced with business area and vice versa. We can replace business area by Profit centre, only condition is that it should be in same controlling area. The business area is more like a business unit of a company. You can have multiple profit centers within a business area.
    Main distinguish factor is that distribution and assessment in possible in profit center but not in business area.
    One more distinction is that Business area need not be attached to any organisation structure. But profit centres can be created only under the controlling area. Business area can be across controlling area.
    Business area concept is used for making stragic decisions by the management whereas the primary purpose of profit centre accounting is responsibility accounting.

  • Using Business Area and Profit Center Accounting with New GL functionality

    Hello,
    We are Public Sector and using ECC 6.0, we have been using Business Area with Fund Management. We also use Special Purpose Ledger with Document splitting. Before migrating to New GL functionality, we want to understand
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    -     If we activate Profit Center Accounting before migration, how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
    Thanking you

    Hi Sachin,
    Thank you for the reply, we want to know that
    -     The possibility of using both Business Area and Profit Center Accounting, and the impact on the system
    If we decide using Profit Center Accounting with Business Area with New GL functionality how we should do it
    -     should we activate classical Profit Center Accounting before migrating to New GL functionality, if we do this how will it work with the splitting process?
    -     If we migrate to New GL functionality without Profit Center Accounting, will this cause the activation of Profit center accounting later to be more complicated, even if we migrate again?
    Thanking you

  • Business Area not populating in Accounting Doc Post Division Change

    Hello Friends,
    Platofrm: SAP R/3
    We created a new Divisions (06)  and  assigned them to the Material in Plant 155. A new business arae (PTIC)
    was also created and assigned to sales are 0020 00 06.
    Later we did couple of assignments (Enter Str>Assig>SD>) where we assigned business area to division - Plant - Sales Org
    and Dris Channel ) .
    Now to validate the changes I am posting a Sales order in sales area 0020 00 10 - to see whether the newly created business area is getting populated or not. Post sales order - delivery- goods issue and _accounting doc - in the accounting document
    I dont see the business arae PTIC. Old business area (PTI) is getting populated.
    I wanted to know whether Material is controlling the business area in accounting doc and where I am missing the link.
    Our aim is to see business area PTIC in final accounting document so that we are sure that the material - whom we assigned division -06 is giving business are ptic.
    Please assist and provide suggestions.

  • Business Area not visible to account with admin privileges

    Hello,
    I've encountered the following scenario on visiting a client site:
    A Business area has been created by the EUL owner account (IFL) and he has granted admin privileges to another account (BRIANB who has been granted the DBA role). However, when BRIANB logs onto DIscoverer Admin, the Business area in question is not visible. BRIANB is able to create a new business area in the EUL which includes folders that are part of the 'invisible' BA. BRIANB is not able to access the 'invisible' BA using Discoverer End User. I'd be very grateful if anyone out there has an explantion for this,
    regards,
    KEvin.

    Problem solved. My client inadvertently created an additional EUL when initially logging onto Disco Admin as BRIANB. Thereafter this was the default EUL. The errant EUL has now been deleted the required BA's are now in view,
    Kevin.

  • Business area is missing in Accounting doc for Taxes

    Hi Gurus,
                  When I am sseing accounting doc, The business area is not showing for taxes,but its showing only for sales values. Is there any setting for getting Businees area for taxes?.
    Regards
    Rams

    If the Profit Center of material is flowing wrongly in billing or a particular G/L Account is assigned to multiple Business Areas, you will face this type of problem.
    So Check whether your profit center is flowing correctly and also the respective G/L Account is not assigned to multiple Business Areas.
    In order to avoid this, you should have invoice split based on business area.
    thanks

  • Validation code for business area and cenvat clearing accounts

    Dear Friends,
    In order to prevent the users from entering the wrong business area in the correct company code, I have written the validation as below.
    Prerequisite : BSEG-BUKRS = '1000'
    Check :  BSEG-GSBER = 'ABC' OR
          BSEG-GSBER = 'DEF' OR
          BSEG-GSBER = 'GHI' OR
          BSEG-GSBER = 'JKL'
    Message : E - 023 - Please Check the Business Area.
         While trying to post Miro, cenvat clearing accounts is not picking up business area and giving an error "Please check business area" ,
    I want the validation rule  not to consider or evade the cenvat clearing accounts and post the miro.
    The user is also making another mistake. Ex: in the debit he should enter ABC(Business area) and in Credit also he should enter ABC (Business area). He is wrongly entering GHI which is affecting the trial balance.
    Please suggest what changes to be done to the validation.

  • Business area not populated in Accounting Document

    Gurus
    Business Area showing in Billing document, item detail tab but not populated in Accounting Document BSEG/GSBER.
    We have upgraded 4.5b to ECC6.
    regards
    imdad

    Hi:
               This happens in instances if one invoice contains multiple business areas, then only blank space will appear in accounting document for business areas. If this is the case then invoice split should happen based on business area. Invoice split can be done through VOFM data transfer - billing document.
    However if invoice contains only one Business Area then please check in IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Function --> Account Assignment / costing --> Business Area Account Assignment....check  whether you have assigned the  Business Area to Sales Area to Rule "1".

  • Business Area is different on Accounting document

    All,
    The BA on GR/IR is different on accounting documents for material document (MIGO) and invoice (MIRO). Since the BA are different, I'm unable to clear GR/IR automatically. 
    I checked the GL substitution rules and there are no rules associated with the GR/IR GL.
    can someone please help. 
    Thanks,
    Sri

    Thanks for your prompt response. We do want to keep BA as a criterion in automatic clearing. I have the following substitution rules
    1) Vendor ABC and
        plant 85 and
       vendor recon GL 123456
       substitute with BA 47
    2) vendor abc and XYZ
        plant 85 and
        GL 654321
      substitue with BA 43
    the plant and divistion determination config is set to BA 47
    The vendor on PO is ABC
    the plant and division on PO is - 85
    my FI entry is
    Dr - FG (BA 43)
    Cr - GR/IR ( 43)
    when I traced the substitution rule it's saying true to Rule 2 above
    why the rule is considering rule two as true when the condition is not fulfiling. 
    FI enty at invoice
    Dr - vendor recon (47) which is ture and the substitution is working
    Cr - GR/IR (47)
    How does the system derives the BA on FI documents. To me, it should carry the same BA through out all FI documents.
    Your help is greately appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sri
