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.

Business Area in Document

Hi SAP Gurus
We have large number of Material documents which have been posted without business area. Now we want the same to be rectified.
Please guide me.

Hi,
In order to generate BS and P&L at business area level you should carry out the following:
1. You should have activated " Enable BA balance sheet" under enter global parametets in FA global settings.
2. You should do configuration under the transaction code "OBXM"
3. You also have run the transaction codes f.50 for P&L and 5.D & 5.E for Balance sheet readjustment.
System automatically posts the taxes and reconciliation accounts of NIL BA transactions to BA and tally the trial balance of all B. areas
Please let me know if you need more information.

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

Hi Raveendra,
Try to modify your cost center (KS02), and then, press the botton "Other period analisys". Create a new period of vality (Example: Valid From today until 31.12.9999). You can put your Business Area without any problem.
I hope that´s help you.

Business area not populated in Accounting Document

Gurus
Business Area showing in Billing document, item detail tab but not populated in Accounting Document BSEG/GSBER.
We have upgraded 4.5b to ECC6.
regards
imdad

Hi:
This happens in instances if one invoice contains multiple business areas, then only blank space will appear in accounting document for business areas. If this is the case then invoice split should happen based on business area. Invoice split can be done through VOFM data transfer - billing document.
However if invoice contains only one Business Area then please check in IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Function --> Account Assignment / costing --> Business Area Account Assignment....check whether you have assigned the Business Area to Sales Area to Rule "1".

How to fill empty business area in posted documents?

Hi SAP Team,
My Client need to fill the field "business area" for documents already posted. However, today all posted documents, have a rule + validation or substitution for this field.- fill business area to be filled in. For year 2013, my client want to re-assign business area at balance sheet accounts but the problem is how to that at customers, vendors account that are reconciliation accounts. Do you have any sugestion?
For balance accounts, for eg:, if my total in a gl bank account is in debit (no business area at this gl account level), my client idea is to credit that bank account without business area and debit it again but filling the business area. For Customers/Vendors, is not that easy because that gl account does not allow directed posting.
Do you have suggestion to handle this?
Thanks a lot,
Kind regards
Antónia Farias

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.

How to Update Business Area Field in Posted Document?

Dear All,
Pls tell me how to update Business Area in documents which are posted without entering Business Area field. Pls tell me how to achieve this without using Validations & Substitutions. Any table entries can be maintained for this? Kindly guide.
Regards
Abhijeet

Hi,
I think, you need to post mannually if you have the list of documents posted with out business area.
ex:
1.Before posting of accounting entry as below, you should deactivate business area component in OB65 againest your co.code
2.Post accounting entry as below
40 123456 without business area 100
50 123456 with business area ABC 100
3. Goto T.Code: OB65 activate the business area component.
4. After posting of accounting entry like above you should run transaction F.5D and F.5E again, make sure that above entry not come again while executing F.5D.
First you can try this process in dev client, if you are comfort with this process then follow the same in quality and production.
Note: You can do this transactions in production client, only when there were no users working on the system.
all the best

Assign Business Area to cost center

HI Guru's
i would like to assign the business area to existing cost center, which is having some posted entries.
But system throws the below error message
"For change Business area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
Pls help me
Rgds,

Hi,
You cannot change buisness area for a cost as this field is for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year by changing the validity period. Mean splitting the validity period provided there is no transaction data. The data in this field is always time-based.
This is to for the consistency of data in SAP.
Please also check out the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/51457143b511d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
However, I think you can use substitution rule to subtitute business area in document level for cost center. I am not sure whether this will work.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as a way to say thanks.
