Business Area Substitution in OBBH

Hi Experts,
I am trying to substitute business area in accounting document generated during post goods issue in VL01N or VL02N.
Our business requirement is as follows:
Profit center (eg. PRCTR1)is assigned in material master. But while creating sales order another profit center (eg. PRCTR2)has to get picked up through 0KEM (Profit center substitution). System is taking correctly the second profit center (eg. PRCTR2) which we have given in susbtitution.
System is identifying the cost center which is assigned to PRCTR2 through OKB9. Accordingly system is picking business area say 01 from the cost center master record during PGI for accounting document.
But our requirement is to change this business area 01 to 02 through FI substitution.
we have written logic in OBBH as follows:
BKPF-BUKRS = '100' AND BKPF-BLART = 'WL' AND
BSEG-HKONT = '1954' OR BSEG-HKONT = '5751' AND
BSEG-WERKS = '100'
Please adivse the logic anything further to add to replace the business area and also suggest if the substitution does not work in FI area for other application area tcodes like VL01N / VL02N.
Thanks in advance.

Substitution to business area is one of taboos SAP clearly dissuades from in OSS notes.
Business area is controlled by below customizings, and any more requirement should not be addressed.
IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Logistics - General > Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division (OMJ7)
IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales and Distribution > Business Area Account Assignment > Assign Business Area by Sales Area (OVF1, OVF2)
The relationship between cost center and business area is 1 by 1. I guess you need to have separate profit center/cost center for the different business area.
I know it can be done. GB01 right? We did that in the past. To be precise, one guy did that. That guy later realized he messed up the standard functionality F.5E.

Business Area - Substitution Rule?

Hi Gurus,
I need help with creating a substitution rule for a business area.
The scenario is as follows-
We have multiple company codes in different regions that sell their product system wise to company code XXXX. We are using one business area YYYY. What i need to do is create a substitution rule that when ever an invoice passes into accounting it automatically picks up the business area YYYY from all those other company codes selling to company code XXXX.
I am not sure how to create this rule? meaning how it should read. When i attempted to create the rule via OBBH I am not seeing the field BSEG-GSBER in the selection? This is where you chose the field & is substituted by a constant value YYYY
I tried reading some other messages that we posted online by other members. One of the suggestions made was to go SM30 or SE11 and pull table VWTYGB01 and uncheck a flag. I tried to do that but I was unsuccessful. When i go there the message i get is that it does not exist.
Please can someone help me...suggest what I can do to solve this issue?
Thank you
Mahima

Hello,
You have to go in the edit mode as suggested by Eli. You are NOT going in the edit mode but going in display mode.
Please go to SE16N
Enter the Table GB01
Maximum number of entries change to 9999
Press ENTER button on your key board.
Put your cursor on Transaction Bar (where normally you enter transaction codes to go to particular activities). Enter &sap_edit
Then press enter on your key board
You will see a message "SAP editing function is activated"
Now click on execute button.
The table will open in edit mode now. You can make changes now.
Please make sure you are changing the right entries. This is not the recommended way of doing, but sort of last means. Any erronous changes will not be reversable. I would not recommend doing this in production. Always we should be cautious when we are doing by this way.

Ravi

Business Area Substitution not working after Upgrade

Hello Guys,
We upgraded our system from Version 3.1 to 4.7.
In this client bus area is mandatory field for every line item in any accounting documents.. For this we have necessary validations and substitutions.
For MIRO there is a susbtitution for tax line item. The logic is copy the bus.are from line item with posting key to the tax line item (Because this tax line item is auto.created line item). For that one there is a substitution in Mod. pool ZGGBS000 . It is Form U999
the ABAP code is
FORM U999 USING BUS_AREA.
IF NOT BUS_AREA IS INITIAL.
MOVE BUS_AREA TO B_AREA.
ELSE.
MOVE B_AREA TO BUS_AREA.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
It used to work in 3.1H. But now 4.7 it is not at all working..i mean it is not substituting the bus area in that tax line item... My Developer checked it and is saying there is no problem with the code..
Did anybody faced this type of problem ? Did any guys know what is the problem with it ?
I searched OSS notes but didn't find anything...
Thank You in Advance..
Ra

First try regenrating the substitutions with RGUGR00. Also look at table GB01 and be sure the X is gone for the field business area(GSBER). If the X is there remove it.
Also in the code BSEG-GSBER is the field to change.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

Business Place Substitution

Hi all
Has any1 done Business Place/Section Code substitution for FB60 in ver 4.7? If yes, can some1 help me with the steps?
Thxs in advance
Hrishi

Hello,
For any t.code not only FB60.
Prerequisite :
BSEG - GSBER = 1100 ( this is our business area)
Substitution :
BSEG - BUPLA = B001
BSEG - SECCO = B001
In the above condition whenever the system finds the business area is 1100. Automatically substitute the below two fields.
if u want only for transaction code FB60. Specify the transaction code in the place of business area or u can specify both by adding AND.
Hope this is clear, if yes assign points

Hi SAP gurus,
I had created subsitution rule in both FI and CO, OBBH and OKC9, which did not to default business area into the tax line.

I had also tick "business area financial statement" in global parameter setting.
Could any gurus advise ?

I have already worked with my developer, but he is not getting any clue to write a logic in the user exits available in OBBH.. can anyone please guide us..
Actual requirement is to update u2018Business areau2019 field on all FI postings at new GL view for some of the company codes (not all), I am not sure if we can achieve it by activating document splitting by business area field.. we have document splitting active already by profit center and segmentu2026
Please guide me..
Many thanks in advance..

If you want to Business area is new doc splitting char's then you need
go for NewGL migration.
Please refer the NewGL migration scenario 6, 7 for your case.

Substitution rule for Business area in F-02

Dear SAP gurus,
The client has 2 plants at different locations. 2 plants are created as business areas.
Our requirement is, when users at bus area 1 are posting expenditure in f-02, the field business area should be automatically filled with '1000'(bus area 1). the users need not manually update the field Business area since they only operate and post in that location. Same functionality is needed at plant 2 also.
I came to know that this requirement can be fulfilled with Substitutions in SAP.
Can anybody please tell me how to write a substitution rule for the above requirement. Any other ideas are also welcome.
Please help me in this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,
You have to do two things.
1. First you write the substitution in GGB1
2. Assign the substituion to your comany code OBBH
In OBBH, write substituion at line item level of the document.
If the plant = A
Substitute business area with A
Check if there are any standard substitutions are available in your system
just for your reference.
Hope this resolves your problem.

Substitution of Business Area for Tax Line Items for Invoices posted in MM

Hi
We have one Business Area for every company code. A substitution rule has been created to populate Business Area in Tax Line Items, while booking vendor invoice. The substitution rule has been defined as
Prerequite
Company Code = 1234 and GL = 1323232
Substitution
Business Area = 6668
The system is working fine, when the Vendor Invoice is posted through FI. However, when the vendor invoice is generated through MIRO or MIR7, the Business Area is not substituted.
In Table VWTYGB01, we have maintained BSEG-GSBER as a field allowed for substitution with Boolean Class 09.
We have created the susbstitution rule for Text and Assignment also and the rules are working fine for all document posted through FI and MM

Hi
Business Area is a sensitive field, agreed. However, the substitution rule is working fine for FI posted documents and the issue is in MM generated documents.

Business area in FI changing without using substitutions

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the business area when we post a clearing document?
For example, we need to pay the line item that have business area 3000. Then we use transaction F110 to create a payment then a clearing docuement will be created with business area 3000. Can we configure it to change to Business area 1000 when we do the payment.
I tried to implement a FI substitution but Business area field cannot be changed(OSS Note 42615). we can do that by changing standard program but it is not recommended by SAP.
Any idea on how to do this? Configuration, BTE or any user exits? Point will be rewarded for any helpful answer.
Thanks,

Business area not picking up for substitution...

Hi
I have created susbstitution for GL account..for substituting business area for GL account....(tax GL account
Tax line item is automatically created in document.....i want business area to be pickep up for the same.
We want substitution create for Business area updating ;- When Document has 4 line item at the time of TAX and TDS line item the Business area not update, MIRO Document also not update the Business area.
Please reply
thanks

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.

Substitution rule for STO - changing business area.

Hello Experts,
We are transferring stock from one plant to another plant. Each plant is business area. We are doing stock transfer at some profit element of Rs. 250. Transfer is done from Business Area D002 to Business Area D001.
When we do outbound delivery, it posts following entry:
Stock A/c... Dr (Business Area D001) Rs.1250
To Stock A/c (Business Area D002) Rs.1000
To Profit on transfer (Business Area D001) Rs.250
However, I want to substitute business area for third line. I want that, business area D001 should be replaced with business area D002. However, there is some substitution rule for the same. Please tell me, how this substitution can be done.
Please help
Deepak

What is your price control for your material for both plant ?
What is the process for your stock transfer ?
However, as of my knowledge, you can't achieve this accounting entry in standard.
See, if you are using MAP for material for both plant, then accounting entry will be
Stock A/C debit for plant D001
Stock A/C credit for plant D002.
If you are using standard price for material, then accounting entry will be
Stock A/C debit for plant D001
Stock A/C credit for plant D002
Price diff account credit or debit (as per the price difference for material price for both plant).

Business Area Validation or Substitution

Hi,
We would like to validate or substitute Business area field.
Can anybody tell us about this.
Regards,
Priti

For vendor / customer postings you have to create reconiliation account wise dummy sub ledgers.
E.g. 1.You have 3 recon. a/c's for customers then you cretae 3 dummy customer codes.
       2. Post a consolidated entry using this dummy accounts(one line item with B.A and the second
           line ietm without B.A)
       3. So at any point of time these subledgers should have zero balance.
       4. Please block these sub-ledgers once your postings have been finished.
