Dear Vijay,
Please kindly read the SAP note number 199886     Business area in tax line
In the value-added tax line items, the field "Business area" is NEITHER
automatically filled NOR can you enter a value manually.
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.
Unfortunately I must inform you that the business area is not available
for substitution because it can cause inconsistences in AM,CO and MM
modules.
Substituting the B.A.field is a modification to the standard SAP
system. To make the business area field substitutable you must have
written an ABAP to update table GB01 for the GSBER field, this is
all explained in SAP note 42615.
I hope this helps.
