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

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 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.

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
Best Regards,
Amit

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.

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!!!

CO Validation check Business Area

Hi gurus, so my request is to give me solution about my validation.
i wish skip business area to be fill in field - business area in KS01.
My validation is:
Prerequisite: Controll. area = '1000'
Check:Company Code IN COMPANYCODES (set all company codes ) AND not Business Area in BA(set all
Business Area)
Message: error (e)
but nothing happend - what i create wrong? my business area is activ in company codes.

Srinivas is right. The validation only works when a CO document is being created due to a posting or allocation and not at the point of filling in master data. If you have business area active in your company code then you must include a business area. I think the best you can do in this case is to either deactivate the business area in company or create a dummy business area.

Cost Center validity period change & Business area assignment to cost cente

We are facing with error KS134 - Transaction data already exists for the period.
We tried to create new cost center with period split. But I am getting error KS133 - Deletion is not possible (dependent records exist in table ).
Hence even creation of the new cost center is not possible. We alrady have Validity Period from 1.04.2005 to 31.12.9999.
Is there any alternative solution ?
Sumeet

Hi Sumeet,
The fields in Cost Center Master Data are "Time-Dependent" and you can see the Time-Dependency of each field in OKEG transaction code where you can find "Business Area" to be "Fiscal-Year" based.
So, if at all you need to change the Business Area, it would be possible in next financial year only...
And also, because, your Cost Center is defined from 01.04.2005 to 31.12.999, there is no way that you can change the validity period so as to create / extend in the same period-lap.
I hope you got it...

Validating Plant and Business Area

Plant: 1100, 1200
Business Area : 1100,1200
So we need to write a validation, could any one help me how to do validate both, so that if the user enter 1100 plant with 1200 Business area he should get a warning message.
Rgds,
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
The Validation can be applied both at the wbs & project level....
1. For Project Or wbs:
SPRO VIEW: Project systems --structures - operative structures- WBS-- maintain validation
click on the project or wbs as required.
Create a new validation & name it. create a step inside the rule... by clicking validation & step buttons available.
Now give the prerequisites You can give project profile , type & BA as prerequisities for your requirement by selecting the same from the table fields on the right of the screen
next for check --- select the plant field and give the value..as required for the BA.
for msg --- you have to create a msg type and maintain the number...here and save your validation.
For two BA you can have three steps maintained in the validation...
Assign this validation to your required project profile and tick the Auto validation button available in the profile.
Hope this helps you.

Validation for Profit Center & Business Area

Experts,
If I want to add new validation rule for another profit center and business area which is not in the current rule defined.
Prerequisit will remain same.
Check : is as below for other profit center and business area. Message will also remain same which is already defined.
CHECK:
OR
( BSEG-PRCTR >= 'VS0001' AND BSEG-PRCTR <= 'VSZZZZ'
AND
BSEG-GSBER = 'SPFN' )
OR
( BSEG-PRCTR = 'EBT021' AND BSEG-GSBER = 'SPFN' )
OR
Requirement: we want to add new profit center EBT022 and Business area SPFN.
Please explain how can I achieve this? Do I need to add one more line as below in between the whole CHECK Rule specified?
OR
( BSEG-PRCTR = 'EBT022' AND BSEG-GSBER = 'SPFN' )
- Nilesh

Gaurav,
Before maintaining this validation rule, when we try to post transaction. We have tried with other combination of Business area and desired business area. Message appears "Profit Center not consistant with Business Area".
What is the logic behind this? This is just for my understanding..
If we create rule for new Profit Center for desired Business Area then possibly system will not throw error message.
Please correct me if I am wrong?

Validation code for business area and cenvat clearing accounts

Dear Friends,
In order to prevent the users from entering the wrong business area in the correct company code, I have written the validation as below.
Prerequisite : BSEG-BUKRS = '1000'
Check : BSEG-GSBER = 'ABC' OR
      BSEG-GSBER = 'DEF' OR
      BSEG-GSBER = 'GHI' OR
      BSEG-GSBER = 'JKL'
Message : E - 023 - Please Check the Business Area.
     While trying to post Miro, cenvat clearing accounts is not picking up business area and giving an error "Please check business area" ,
I want the validation rule not to consider or evade the cenvat clearing accounts and post the miro.
The user is also making another mistake. Ex: in the debit he should enter ABC(Business area) and in Credit also he should enter ABC (Business area). He is wrongly entering GHI which is affecting the trial balance.
Please suggest what changes to be done to the validation.
Regards
Sridhar
