Business area issue

Hi experts,
My user has passed entry without business area.Now while he use to reverse it through OB08/F-02,the system is picking up business area.System should not accept business area.
Please advise.
Regards,
Samar

Hi,
You can perform the following steps: First you can try this scenario in quality then only go for production client
1.Run F.5D&F.5E - Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
2.Goto T.Code:OB65: Deactiviate business area indicator and save the data
3.Again run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document with no business area picked up in this transaction
4.Post a JV in F-02 for reversal or try to use FB08
5. Go to T.Code: OB65 : Activate business area
6. run F.5D & F.5E : Make sure that document in spet1 should not pick up.
Hope it should work, i followed the same steps earlier and able to resolve this kind of issue.
Imp: If this transaction works well in quality client then only go for production client. While doing the same activity in production client make sure that no user should work at that momement, it means you should carryout this job, after office hours and when there were no users on the system. If anybody are working, their entries may flow without business area.
All the best

Import business area issue

Hi Discoverer friends,
I recently created a buisness area with a workbook in development eul and imported into the production eul. I first exported the business area and workbook separatly from Dev/Test using discoverer admin.I then Imported the BA and workbook into Production in admin using the default settings except that - Refresh the object( the sub-box Preserve display related properties was not checked) I also refresh the BA. The imported workbook worked fine, but a workbook for another BA ( say BA1) failed to work. I looked into the issue and discovered that there were multiple BAs in the same EUL where the new BA (say BA3) was imported into. The folders in BA3 were 80% the same as what in BA2. However, the problem was in BA1 as some of the worksheets failed. I looked into the SQL for the failed worksheet and to my surprise, the query in BA1 joined with some of the tables in BA3. Please note: BA1 had no such folder and even no joint to these tables in BA3.
It is either a bug or something I missed or did wrong with my import of the BA3 as after I deleted both BA1/BA3, imported BA1 only and it turned out OK for BA1.
So What I should do to import the BA3?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
my Discoverer admin edition is 9.0.4. Database 9.2.4. Application server 9.0.4.2 and Discoverer Plus used is 9.0.4.45.02.
Thank you very much,
Jeff

Hi
It sounds as though you may have deleted the folders from the business area but not from the EUL. If this is the case, and the folders still exist inside Production, then when you import from Test into Production, the folders will be there attached to the business area.
If you really don't want the folders you should completely delete them from the Test EUL, or are you saying that you did this? If you're absolutely certain that you deleted them from Test, then exported the Test business area and imported it into Production, matching by identifier, then it sounds like there is an issue. You may need to manually delete folders in both areas.
You see, if a folder exists in production and not in the import from Test, how does Discoverer know that you did not intentionally not export that folder? I don't think it can detect that something is no longer there. Its a bit like saying give me the ID numbers of all the rows in the database that got deleted today so that I can go and delete them from the data warehouse. You cannot because they don't exist. I think your best plan would be to delete them from both areas, either that or delete the business area from production and reimport it from Test.
Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

Business area issue in consumption items

Dear Sapgurus,
while doing in me21n with cost center k means consumptions system says popup error mesage, but in same in me21n tradable gooks i am not facing any issue.
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Procedure for System Administration
Double-post

Hello,
Are NewGL and document splitting active in your system? If yes, you should solve this problem with using splitting function.
Otherwise, you can use business transaction event 00001120.
I explained step by step how can you activate BTE 00001120. I give you message below.
Re: FBCJ - Cash Journal Transaction
In this exit, you must update t_bsegsub-gsber field which t_bseg-buzid = 'T' for tax item.
But you can not split tax line items in this exit. For example in invoice you have 2 or more business area, but tax line item doesn't create for each buiness area (If you don't use document splitting functon). So in this exit you can only assign a business area to tax line item which is automatically generate while posting FI document.

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.

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.

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

Business Area import issue

In Test I had to delete a couple folders from a Business Area(BA). But after migration a new copy of BA into Production those folders still appear. Here is my migration plan:
1. Export the BA from Test
2. Import the BA into Production using the following criteria:
- Refresh the object and then check the sub-box called Preserve display related properties
- two objects be matched by Identifier
3. Refresh the BA
Also I`d like to mention that this BA was in Production before Migration
Thank you in Advance.

Business Area Creation Issue

I just created a new business area and some folders have the number 1 following the name.
I used a valid schema.
There were no duplicate tables in the schema used to create the business area.
I am not aware of duplicate tables in the EUL used to create the business area but there may be some.

This is from Jim Syverson, the originator of the issue. Thank you for the guidance and information. I found the "orphan" folders in a highly specific business area in the EUL that someone had created to perform a specific task, probably for an organizational segment with a specialized function.
I think there is a powerful argument for not proliferating specialized business areas. Folders in a "schema wide" business area can be grouped and labeled as to function so that users can identify which folders apply to them and further, folders can be made invisible and even further, role based security can limit access to specific folders, even data items.
Thanks again.

Diagnosis
The field Profit Center marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 001, even after document splitting.

Can someone provide a solution please as this is go live critical for us now
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

Single Business Area versus multiple profit center issue

Dear Experts,
My client is basically an infrastructure company. We have received a roll out
project under a department which inturn is billed to another department
under the same company code. Now I am planning to create a single business
area and multiple profit centers under that BA. This is because the business
is same but responsible areas of profit are two different departments.
Now I am not sure on the set up process and how do knock off etc are achieved
to get the financial reports balanced.
Cost of dept 1 is revenue of dept 2. For this I create a BA and also
2 profit centers. I do assignment in OKB9. What are other settings required.
Which profit center would be assigned in the material master?
My whole idea is to use a single BA with multiple profit centers, if one to one
relationship is the best way of approach then I shall follow that. But kindly give
inputs if I use single BA with multiple PC's how effective usage can I make of the
whole system. client is using MM, SD, PM, PP, FI, CO, PS modules.
Regards
Komal

Hi,
Recently we have got a business requirement for the concept of Single Plant which is assigned to multiple profit centers. I would request any of you to help me with any points which has the pros and cons of this set up.
First think why many profit center required for one plant explain it ?
Now you know from where system will take profit center in accounting docuement ?
as per me system take from Material master costing view
you have project base company or client or WBS at your end ?
In one material we can assign single profit center
In on cost center we can assign single profit center
so can you explain your requirement exactly
