Business area is not being specified in cost center master.

Hello Professional friends,
When i specify Business area in existing cost center master data, it appears an error massage - "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
I tried to change the validity by analysis Period, when i do this, it appears anothe error " No further processing (contact your system administrator)"
Its user critical requirement that he want to specify business for all new and existing cost center.
there is no problem with new cost center.
Waiting for valuable suggestion.

Hello,
The rule is that if you make any actual or planned date within the current year, you cannot make any changes to any of the organizational units within the cost center master.
From the next year, you can remove / change the business are within the cost center master, provided:
You have to change the validity period of the cost center master by doing:
Go to KS02
Edit ==> Analysis Period
put your cursor on the valid from e.g. 01.01.1900 and click F5 (the line gets selected and become blue)
Click on Other Analysis period and then change the analysis period. The new analysis period must be starting with the first date of the next fiscal year.
Now change or remove the business area.
For this year, surely you cannot change the business area, since there postings.
Do not try to write any ABAP program to change the standard in order avoid the business area change error, it would end up data inconsistencies.
Thanks,
Ravi

Vendor invoice - Profit Center not being pulled from cost-center

Hi Guys,
Please help me out with this:
On the vendor expense line item, i am using an account which has a Field status group which is cost center - optional, business area - required and profit center - required. The cost center master has the profit center and business area both populated.
But when i try just populating the cost center on the expense line item, the profit center is not being populated automatically which it should. Can you please guide me what the problem can be? Is it in the field status group or maybe in the linking of the cost center and profit center.
Thanks for your help.
-MS

Hi,
Are you talking about vendor line item or expenses line item?
if you are talking about expense line item,check profit center is activated or not and validity period.
check profit center assignment in KS03 t.code.
if your talking about vendor line item,what version of SAP are you using?
if your using clasical GL and PCA,process T.code 1KEK - Transferring Payables/Receivables .
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Rau

Suppress business area field in cost center master data(KS01)

Hi
As the client is not using business area, he don't want the business area field to appear in the cost center creation screen(KS01).
Is there any work around to this
Regards
Aravind

Hi Aitipamula,
Have you looked transaction code <b>OB65</b> to deactive the business area?
Also you can technically use transaction variant (t/code SHD0) to supress the field. For more information, please check this link.

Cost Center Master Record BA Required

Dear SAP Team,
I have two controlling areas, each CO area assign two company codes,
Like:
CO Area: XYZ Assign Company Code: ABC & XYZ
CO Area : 123 Assign Company codes: PQR & KLM
When i create Cost center by using CO area:XYZ BA is optional.
When i create Cost center by using CO area:123 BA is Required.
I want BA field is optional in both cases,
I have checked in OBY6 BA wise finance statement. it is d selected in both case.
Please provide solution.
Regards,
TML.

Dear,
Business areas are your line of business. You will not have number of business areas in an organization.
If I give you an example of a chemical company
You will have
Soda Ash
Salt
Chlorine
Fertilizers
Under each business area you have 100 departments, say cost centers, you have.
All 100 cost centers relatings to soda ash will be assigned with business area soda ash. In KS02, for cost center relating to soda ash will be assigned with SODA business area, accordingly postings made to the cost center relating to soda ash will hit SODA business area.
At the end of the day you should able to identify, though it is a common cost, this should be relating to which business area. You need to bifurcate your postings per business area.
Meaning that if you want to post travelling expenses of person, who has done work for two different business areas.
In that case
the entry would be
Travelling Expenses Dr 200 (Co assignment Cost Center of SODA ASH)
Travelling Expenses Dr 120 (Co assignment Cost Center of SALT)
To Cash Account (Co assignment Cost Center of SODA ASH)
To Cash Account (Co assignment Cost Center of SALT)

Not able to delete Business Area from Cost Center Master: Msg KS022 & KS370

Hi,
We have a created a cost center with a business area by an oversight
(i.e we are not using BA) and postings have been done to CC, now we want to
delete the business area from CC master but the system is giving error
KS134 'Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data
already exists)'.
So we tried to change the analysis period and in the new analysis
period (which is mid-year) we deleted the BA and during saving there
are messages KS370 'No fiscal year defined for the analysis period' &
KS022 'No further processing -> contact your system administrator' .
We are using V3 as the fiscal year variant which is non-calendar fiscal
year.
Please let us know how handle this as we need to delete the Business
area from the CC master during mid-year.
Thanks
VS

Hi,
You need to change BA of an already posted against cost center.
There is a consulting note you should take into consideration:
62716 KS020 when changing company code, business area The prerequisites of how the business area might be changed during the fiscal year:
-The change interval is set to period limits
-There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
-There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost
center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
Nevertheless if there is dependent actual data already posted in the time frame from the change date and all periods forth it is not possible to change the business area. This is bound to consistency reasons as the business area is stored in the CO-documents.
If You need to change the business area in this particular period with actual postings You must cancel all actual documents already posted on the cost center between the date of change and all forthcoming periods.

Waman

Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted due to restructuring

Hello,
We are running Essbase and Planning 9.3.1. Occasionally, the users get the above error, "Client Commands are Currently Not Being Accepted", because Essbase spontaneously starts restructuring itself. We schedule a restructure in the evening. Is there a way to prevent this spontaneous restructuring from occurring during business hours?
Thank you,

Thank you Glenn,
The users say they did not change the outline or refresh the database. The log file says sysadmin gave the command, as I have copied here.
Received Command [Restructure] from user [sysadmin]
If the users did something, I would expect the command to come from them.
The essbase.cfg does not have the work sync or security in it. Can you tell me more on how to determine if this is our problem?

Business Area is not getting updated in "Main Bank Account" Line item (FF_5

Hi Gurus,
I am executing T Code: FF_5 for uploading the "Multi-Cash" Format. This transaction clears the Bank Clearing Account and post the entry to the credit of "Bank Main Account".
Now while i had executed F110, the Business area was properly captured in the Bank Clearing Account Line item. But while executing FF_5, the Business Area is not getting captured against the "Main Bank Account" Line item.
Can you please tell me how to capture the Business Area against the "Main Bank Account" Line item.
Rgds,

Hi,
1. In case of Business where payments are made centrally it is important to report
    Bank A/c Business area wise.
2. However I have solved the problem by doing "Sustitution", and its working fine. The Business Area is getting updated against the Main Bank Account Line item.
3. I am however getting one error while doing the upload in FF_5. The error occurs
   only if Business Area is a "required" field in Bank Account's "Field Status
   Group".
   Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER ; see next message.
   But if I make Business Area as an Optional Field I am not getting an error and
   also the posting is done to Main Bank Account.
Is there anyother method by which this error can be corrected.
I have assigned 2 points for your inputs. Can you help me to solve this error as well.

Business area is not appearing in the FBL1N

Hello Experts,
Please give me your valuable suggestions for below issue.
Business area is not appearing for few transactions for particular vendor in TC: FBL1N, We are using Ecc 6.0. Please advice.
Thanks,

Please review note 549182 FAQ: Business Area Accounting
in particular see point 3.
3. Question:
With customer and vendor items, why can you not enter a business area?
Answer:
Open items are assigned to business areas depending on the expense and
revenue items of the invoice.
Because of this dependency, open items can be assigned to several
business areas. Thus the assignment is no longer unique. There is a
function available in the balance sheet adjustment that enables a
subsequent assignment.
With a unique dependency, the business area is copied into the open
items not assigned to a business area during the posting of the
document.
Also consider SAP Note 41294 in this context.

Business Area is not visible

I have Discoverer 10g 9.0.4. The EUL is visible by a couple of accounts. Of the accounts that can see the Business Area, I can revoke the BA and it disappears from the user. I can then grant it back to the user and it is visible again.
With a new database account with the same database permissions as the other accounts, the business area is not visible. I can log in with one of the "bad" accounts I can see the EUL5 tables. I can see that in EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS and EUL5_EUL_USERS these accounts should be able to see the business area but no matter what I do in Admin, nothing is visible. What am I missing?
I've even tried granting select on all EUL5 tables to public but that did nothing. I tried granting administrator access to these accounts but that didn't make the BA visible either.
I tried another desktop with Discoverer Administrator installed and tried granting/revoking access to these accounts but that didn't help either.
HELP! :)

I did the following as a test:
create user test_disco identified by test_disco default tablespace tools temporary tablespace temp;
grant connect to test_disco;
grant dba to test_disco;
-- Next, use Discoverer Administrator and grant access to the BA
-- Next logon as TEST_DISCO and run the select statement:
select b.ba_name
from EULOWNER.eul5_eul_users u,
EULOWNER.eul5_bas b,
EULOWNER.eul5_access_privs p
where u.eu_id = p.ap_eu_id
and b.ba_id = p.gba_ba_id
and u.eu_username = user
-- one row returned
-- Next, connect with Discoverer Desktop or Discoverer Plus as TEST_DISCO and unable to see any Business Areas.
What is going on?
