Business Area not captured in TAX Accounts

Question

When accounting entry is generated for Sales of a particular part, the Business Area which is captured in the individual Sales Order is captured in the individual ledgers, but the same is not reflected in the TAX ACCOUNTS like CST/VAT Payable. Hence, filtering of ledger accounts for CST/VAT payable cannot be done Business Area wise. There is only one common GL Account for each type of tax , say, CST/VAt Payable etc. Pls suggest the solution

Hi,
Before executing the t.code: F.5E, you have to follow the mentioned system... otherwise u will end up with same problem.
1.First u should identifiy the gl account and balance with no business area
2.You should identify the relevant business area.
3.go to t.code: OB65 and remove the business area activation indicator(u have to do this process, when no users working on the system)
4.You should post an adjustment entry by using t.code:F-02 as below.
gl account 100000    Business area 1000,2000
40  100000 a/c with blank business area      1000
50  100000 a/c     BA 1000                            999
50  100000 a/c     BA 2000                                1
If u didn't follow the above procedure, system will updated blank business area with business area in other line item.  If two business areas are maintained in two line items, then system won't updated blank business area field in first line item.
5. Then execute the t.code:F.5E, make sure that above entry not coming in this screen.
6. If the above mentioned process is complete, then chcek UR gl account balance in fs10n with business area wise. If everythig  was followed perfectly, then gl account balance under blank business area will be zero.
7. Then go to t.code :ob65 once again and activate the business area indicator.
Note: first create the same scenario in development or quality, if u satisfied with results follow the same in production client.
We got this kind of issue in 2005, then we rectified this issue with the steps mentioned above.
all the best
