Hi,
1. Identify the document type being used for the posting. For example KZ or ZP
2. Identify the transaction type and business variant being used for the document type found in step 1 from SPRO node " Classify Document Types for Document splitting" (SIMG_GLT0_T8G12). Most likely it would be
3. Identify the document splitting method being used in your implementation from SPRO node "Activate Document Splitting" (SIMG_FAGL_ACTIV_SPLI) . Most likely to be 0000000012 or 0000000012
4. Go to the SPRO node "Define Document Splitting Rule" (FISL_PS_GBEB_SPLT_DC) and locate the header item with Splitting Method, Business Transaction and Transaction Variant identifies in step 1,2 and 3.
5. Add item category which contains your tax accounts , into the "Item categories to be edited" list for the header selected in step 4.
6. Add "Base item categories "03000 - Vendor" for item category identified in step 4.
Hope it helps.

Highlighted Business Areas go blank

Hi,
In Plus, while selecting the business areas, when we scroll on to a particular BA, it goes blank. I am thinking its something to do with the colors, may be a setting where highlighted text foreground and background are given the same color. But I am not sure where to check for it. I have looked into Discoverer Plus setting in EM, also checked the pref.txt file, can't find anything. I remember somebody has discussed this in this forum earlier. Could anybody let me know if you have come across this and have a solution?
Thanks.

Hello Michael,
We got the patch 5345528 applied and problem is solved. Also I noticed some more problems solved, like
1) While creating drill link, it used to make us select the 'Where do you want to link to?' first and then would allow us to type a name for that drill link
2) While creating a calculation, it dint allow us to type in the name unless we click on any of the items in selected items box of new calculation screen.
3) If we made some changes to one of the workbooks and wanted to save them as different name, it dint allow us to type the name unless we click on one of the existing workbooks in the list.
Just wanted to make a note of them so it might help others who face these problems.
Thanks for your suggestion for patch.

In this billing doc. I have given two different types product sale in one invoice. The total VAT output is showing as 4688.89. In this document 310 & 314 are my business area. Now if I look at the GL View of the document its like the below :

Now Just see at the document. The Business Area is capturing correctly in VAT output for the first sale. But the VAT out put for Second Sale, the business area is blank. Where as the B.A. is perfectly capturing in case of both sales.
It is the same scenario if Iu2019ll take n-number of products in an invoice. Only first productu2019s B.A. is capturing in the VAT output, while in others its showing blank.
So kindly suggest me why is it so? & how can I show the B.A. in every VAT out put GL for n-number if Transaction in one invoice.
kindly send the solution in rnarayan @ videoconmail.com
Regds,
R. Panigrahi

See OSS note 199886 - Business area in tax line:
Cause and prerequisites
Postings to VAT accounts must be made without business area. The reason for this is that the field "Business area" does not exist in the tax data. Therefore,the advance return for tax on sales/purchases can also only generate postings without business area and these postings must correspond exactly to the original tax postings in your account assignments. Otherwise, the tax accounts would have steadily increasing business area balances.
Solution
You can use function "Balance Sheet Adjustment" (report SAPF180) to display taxes in the balance sheet for business areas.

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.

KEPM business area not derivate

Dear All,
I have a planning layout with Cost Center + Cost Element.
We have maintained derivation in KEDR based on Cost Center to derivate other Characteristic.
When we do planning and check the figure in KE25, other characterisitc derviate from Cost center can see.
But Business Area is BLANK, why ? any missing config ?
On the other hand, when we try to do posting in FB50, we inputted Cost Center in the posting , and then click Deriviate manually, Business Area can come out ?
What is the different between KEPM planning and Actual posting ?
Why Business Area is BLANK ?
Thanks a lot

Add derivation in KEDR

Business Area error in BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST

I am using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to post an accounting document (FB50). In the header of BAPI parameter I pass BUS_ACT as 'RFBU'.
I am getting an error message Cost center belong to business area 'XXX' not 'YYY'. The reason is see for this error is there is a substitution rule defined saying if business area is blank, default this to 'YYY'. Business area is not passed through interface of BAPI, but business area 'XXX' is maintained in Cost Center master data.
In the case of BAPI, BAPI is getting the business area from substitution and during the function call 'K_COBL_CHECK' inside BAPI, the business area of G/L line item and business are from cost center is not matching.
But when the same is entered through FB50, its getting the business area from cost center and business area. Is there any SAP Note to solve this issue. Is any one aware of this.
Thanks
Vishnu

And if business area is blank (not maintained in cost center master) and you don't pass anything, BAPI works correctly right? If you could determine the business area , why not pass it to BAPI?
BAPI sometimes do have minor differences from online transactions.. I don't see it as a big issue.. you can look for OSS notes or see how others handled it...

Business area not appearing against VAT entry in Accounting doc for Invoice

Dear All,
We have configured Business areas,
When we post an invoice with multiple line items and open the Accounting document for this invoice we find that Business area is visible against Freight Amount and the ,Sales A/c but that no business area is appearing against the Vat payable amount in the accounting doc.
Why so?
what should we do so that system determines the business area against the VAT Account also.
Regards,
Avinash Gyale

This could be due to two reasons
1) If one invoice contains multiple business areas, only blank space will appear in accounting document. To avoid this, invoice split should happen based on business area. Invoice split can be done through VOFM data transfer - billing document.
2) If a particular G/L Account is assigned in multiple Business Areas, this problem will come and you need to apply Substitution Exit RGGBS000

Business Area incorrect

Hi,
We have following issue:
1. Customer invoice raised for 10000 in Business Area 1010, Company code 1000
2. Payment received by Company code 5000
Issue:
When user do F-28 for bank incoming, user enters the Company code 5000 & in the bank column enters bank incoming GL & leave the Business area field blank then after selecting the company code 1000 cusotmer invoice, system copies the BA 1010 in bank incoming GL as well as in Inter company GL accounts.
How can we restrict this practice assuming user normally forgets to maintain it?
Apart from GL field status field group option what are those other options to do?
Regards

Create the Substitution logic as below in OBBH/ GGB1
Pre-requisites:-
Transaction code (SY-TCODE) = F.28
AND
GL Account (BSEG-HKONT) = your Inter company GL accounts
Substitute:-
Business Area (BSEG-GSBER) = as you need

VF02, Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi, SD Expert.
When I released the billing document to accounting, used VF02, the system displayed a message 'Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled', and I found the field of business area was blank, but I already assign the business area to plant and division and post the data comparision.
Edited by: lin huanxin on Jan 20, 2011 9:40 AM

Also please note If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your billing document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center. So check in your billing document, whether any line item does not have profit center.

Hi expert,
Need help in finding the root cause for the below scenario:

Business Area Blank in Tax G/L A/c in MIRO

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem, when I am posting MIRO, all the tax G/L like service tax, vat etc are coming with blank business area.
How to resolve this issue, so that the business area reflect on the tax g/l, however in vendor line, gr/ir account business area is coming correctly.
Kindly help me to solve this problem.

Hello,
Please note the following.
You have inheritance active for your document splitting. Please see same via customizing
SPRO -> General ledger accounting (New) -> Business transactions ->Document splitting -> Activate document splitting(Please review the F1 help on the inheritance field).
SPRO ->...Classify document types for document splitting Type Description     Transaction variant
RE   Vendor invoice   0300     0001
Same as Type KR-> Extended document splitting -> Define document splitting rule
Method       Transaction Variant
0000000012   0300         0001
item categories to be edited
look at Cat. 05100 Taxes on Sales/Purchases based on Base item categories Cat.   Description
01000 Balance Sheet Account
Value of business area will be inherited on New GL view of tax line of posted document not on entry view.
Addition, Please be aware that even with NewGL Document Split functionality active, the interface with MM is basically unchanged from previuos releases. As in previous release and described on note 199886, business area on tax account is always blank. if you want to see GSBER in entry view, you have to run SAPF180 as well.
Hope above infor. are useful for you!

Retained earnings forwarded to blank business area

Hello experts,
My client wants to get the retained earnings account business area wise. Presently, the retained earnings when forwarded to the next financial year is being captured to the blank business area instead of the correct business areas. My client has got 3 business area. They are 1000,2000 and 3000...Any suggestions could be very helpful..
Regards,
Prabhu

Hello Prabhu,
Sorry for the delayed response.
It sounds like your client is using Business area only within BSEG level and not in New GL level or they do not activate New GL ledger, even just a leading ledger 0L?
Please find out, technically, if your client desire is to have business area populated from CF amount into BSEG?
Kind regards

Hi,
I have an answer for your 1st question only.
After putting the data in F.01 click on the "Arrow" which is there beside the option Business Area which will take you tor "Multiple selection for Business Area" window.
In that window do not enter anything but select the 3rd option, "Maintain selection options". you will get one more window with the options 1. Single Value 2. Greater than or equal to and so on......
Select, 1st option, Single Value and execute (F8). Also select - "Classical List" option under List Output in F.01, you will be able to see "Non Business Area" related GL's in Balance Sheet.
