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.

Plant & business area validation in asset creation

Dear All,
Am working in a plant & business area validation which will fire the error msg when wrong plant is assigned at time of asset creation. Issue is for a company we have 19 business area and each business area assigned to various plant. In order to avoid the individual step for each business area, have merged two or more business area in pre-requiste section and correspondingly plant had been validated in check section. But when am inserting two check conditions, its not even working as per the logic, For ex :
Pre-Requiste :
( ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1101' ) AND (
ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1102' )
Check :
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1307' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1308' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1309' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1304' ) AND
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1305' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1306' ANLZ-WERKS = '1344' )
For the above condition system not validating as per business area since if we entering business area 1101 and entering the plant which related to 1102 business area, system not throwing the error msg where as if we put a single condition in a step its working fine.
Kindly suggest me how to overcome this by avoiding individual step creation for each business area.

Hi,
I have chnaged my validation in the following way as follows,
Pre-requiste :
Co code=XXXX
Check:
Business area = XXXX AND Plant = XXXX.
This condition is working fne for one business area, where as if i include more than one business area in the check section system not validating the condition, in a step its validating only one condition. Since 21 business area available for a co code its not feasible to create individual step.
Kindly suggest me is there any other alternative way to overcome this.

Business area validation

how would i setup a validation that would work for both company code and profit center to validate with the business area.
it works seperately, but does not work when both are triggered.
Any clarifications will be appreciated.

Hi Krishna,
As the other persons have said, you can use the OB28 to create validation at three levels.
If you have access to SAP notes, the note 842318 might be interesting for you.
This note is an FAQ about the validation/substitution area, so issues which could occur while you create a validation might be described there.
Also it is helpful if you like to use a user-exit (GCX2).
I hope I could help a bit further.
Best regards,
Christoph

Substitute business area after document splitting or when creating document

Hi experts,
I have to do a substitution of business area after document spliting, but i saw in previous threads that it's not allowed by SAP to modify a document after spliting. So if i do this substitution when I create a document, for example in f-02 or fb01,is it possible? And how can I do? With user-exit or Badi?
I have a specific table which contains all business areas which I should put into the document:
BUKRS, GSBER
CompA, BA 1
CompB, BA 2
CompC, BA 3
Thank you for giving me some ideas.

If each Company code has a different business area, why do you need to populate it in the first place?
The definition of a business area is that is can cover a range of Company Codes, but not be directly linked to one. I would suggest your use for Business Area is wrong.
You are right about changes after splitting, however I would check with an ABAP'er on this or OSS.
Also, if you are saying Business Area is Company code dependent, then there should not be a problem as the Business Area posted to will be correct, as an accounting document can only be for a single Company Code.
You should have your business are validation, or substituion prior to document splitting.
Hope this helps, award points if useful.

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? how to do it?

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes?
what are the configurations?
thanks

Dear Humility,
If, I am not wrong, Business Area is assigned to Company Code via Finance (i.e. NO Direct assignment, but can be used across company code). You can assign a business area to an org. object through the account assignment tab.
Business areas are generally company-code independent. You can post to them from any company code. The Business area field shows up as an additional account assignment when posting to an account as long as the field is turned on in configuration. The field can be made a required entry during posting.
If certain company codes are not active in specific business areas, you can use a validation to prevent postings to this business area from the company codes specified.
Important Transactions, related to Business Area Configuration:
OX03     Create Business Area
OMJ7     assign Business Area to Plant / Valuation Area and Division
OVF2     Org Unit: Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule
OVF0     Org Unit: Business Area Determination rule
OVF1     Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule Slsorg/DstCh

Amit

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.

Customisd err message at MIRO - Business area V/s company code validation

Hi experts,
We have simple validation for company code V/S Business area check in place ,
While doing MIRO system throws error for a particular company code and Business area
combination the set error message ( customized - Business are does not match with company code)
This validation has given as a sub node (step) of another consolidation trx. types against GL validation (that was in place earlier, thats why)
But when we do through F-02 (Journal entry ),F-43(vendor invoice), F-22(customer invoce) for the same combination system passes the entry !!!
what may be the cause ?
the error message is the standard one set -251 this message is custom created at Validation (GGB0)
Business area doesnt belongs to the company code
Message no. /ASU/GENERAL251
One more thing Noticed
The Material PO is a account assigned (K) cost center and the
cost center Business area is 1003.
In PO plant is 1003 and i checked the MSEG the plant shows 1003
But in Logistics assignment the Business area 1001 is tagged to Plant 1003
not THE BUSINESS AREA 1003 !! . I mean at plant/valuation area to Business ara configuration
the valuation area 1003 is assigned to Business are 1001 not to Busienss are 1003!!!

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.

Need a your expertise guidance.
We have a requirement to substitute u2018Business areau2019 field on GL view(table u2013 FAGLFLEXA) for all FI postings.. I am trying to achieve this by OBBH substitution rule using user exit, Is this possible anyway??
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..

HI pampana,
If you add the Business area is document splitting char's with Mandatory check box
then reach and very line will update the business area value in Doc splitting.
But you allready have profit center as a doc splitting char's
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.
please check the link
