Business units info requirements

Dear FI Experts,
I am a novice. I hope you could share some information regarding information requirements of the different business units in terms of finance reports.
For example, for Marketing, what sort of finance information would ,say line managers, require operationally?
Likewise for Sales unit and manufacturing or production unit.
Would appreciate if you could let me know the broad picture.
best regards
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
For catering the different needs of the business units like marketing, sales units area wise geographical wise, SAP has come with COPA (Profitability Analysis), in this module u can see the required info based on your marketing segment and geographical segment or product wise. 
Coming to specific report as you are saying for marketing,  a line manager can generally look how much cost has been incurred in their area and how much sale has been happened and compare the Profit margin.
coming to requirement it might changing as per business therefore there wont be any specific report kind of a stuff.
Thats why using COPA u can customize your requirement as you can?
Hope u understood

  • How to Capture Multiple Cost centres and Business Unit information in a project?

    Dear Experts,
    With the help of UDA functionality in project super responsibility, I have captured Cost centre and Business unit information and this info will be used/reflected in CC and BU segments of all transactions gets recorded against that project.
    Now, our user wish to have multiple cost centres and business units to be tracked in the same one project. How is this feasible? Below example describes my requirement in a summary, please advise.
    An Indirect project is created when a defect on a machine reported from client's customer and all subsequent activities (purchases, travel to customer site to analyse and troubleshoot, purchases for any in-house analysis etc..involves costs spending internally) in resolving that defect/project involves 6 to 7 different departments (Sales, Tech Support, Quality team etc.,who actually work/travel and spend costs against project until defect resolution). And, each of the above departments will have 1 dedicated owner (project owners) to manage that project and each of these 6 or 7 owners owners will have their own cost centres (eg: 2345 - Sales team) against which they wish to see their transactions (travel, purchases during defect resolution) globally.
    So, all I want to know is how can I make one single project to accommodate multiple cost centresand business unit information to be assigned using UDA? Please let me know if I am not clear.
    Regards
    Venkat

    I think you should use the expenditure organization on the transaction itself to derive the CC/BU. Have AA lookups and define AA rules where you look at a Exp Org to BU or Cost Center to derive accounting.

  • Report of all sales orders for a business unit

    I am analyzing revenue, and I would like to run a report that would list all sales orders and the value of those orders in a particular business unit.
    I require the value of each and every sales contract during a certain period. Can I run a report that lists all sales contracts opened during a particular period?

    Hello,
      from the standard SAP menu, under: "Logistics --> Sales and Distribution  --> Sales --> Information System  --> Orders" you can find some transactions reporting sales orders lists, such as VA05 or SDO1, which perhaps could fit your requirements. Otherwise you can create a query to merge the tables containing the information that you need. As of my knowledge there's not an organizational level called "Business unit" in SAP, so you should check if in the transaction mentioned above the field you use to identify the "Business unit" is available.
    Hope to be useful.

  • Questions on setting up PeopleSoft FIN AP Business Unit for India with TDS

    Hi,
    Does anyone here have some advice for me on how to handle AP transactions for a business unit set up for India with TDS (withholding) and statutory reporting.
    We are configuring AP BU for India in our existing database which has other BUs for other countries not using withholding. For India the way we understood on statutory is that all invoices must be recognised for withholding at the time of invoice entry or payment which ever ealiest. For PeopleSoft we always have to create voucher before we can make mayment so the earliest occurace will be at voucher entry that withholding should be deducted (at voucher post).
    The problem that we are encountering is that if we have prepayment invoice, we can use prepaid voucher to record this. However, when we receive the final invouce and entered into PeopleSoft the voucher post reversed the original withholding lines and recreate in the final invoice with final invoice amount. This could be in different period. As for the India rule the way we understood this is that the entries that created at prepaid should not be reversed, also those withholding might already be paid to the goverment in prior period before receiving the final invoice. The final invoice should have withholding calculate just for the difference of the invoice balance.
    Our other problem is on the statutory reporting that all transactions should be recorded in that particular period. Our current setup has AP close period at the end of each month which means we cannot enter invoices raised in previous period or have adjustments put in the period that already closed.
    Any help and advice on how companies that has India AP business unit deal with the above mentioned issues are much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Marc Sachdeva.
    I don't mean where to set up withholding. I have alredy configured all withholding details and everything works fine in AP.
    However, as India statutory comes in, I'd like to know how other companies handle cases like accounting entries for transactions in specific period if your system has AP/GL closed periods. Normal cases would be put entries in the next accounting period. But as my understanding on the Indian rules is that withholding must be recorded at the time of entering the invoice. So how should adjustment be made.
    Another thing is the prepayment invoices, using PeopleSoft Prepaid voucher would cause the accounting entries for withholding lines to be reversed and then re-recorded when posting the final invoice (that matches with the prepaid). I would like to know how companies are dealing with such case as the TDS lines could be revsersed and recalculate in different accounting period. Also if the period that it revsered the TDS % could have changed and when the reverse happens it will recalculate withholding based on the new rate for the whole of invoice amt.
    For example an invoice of 10000 INR, 50% is to be recorded and paid in advance so raise the invoice of 5000 INR in Feb. TDS is 10%.
    - So vendor will be paid 4500 and 500 is for withholding.
    - In April then receive final invoice of 10000 INR, record into PS as 10000 but matched to prepaid so the remaining invoice is 5000. withholding rate in Apr is now 15% so 15% should be applied to the remaining invoice of 5000 INR. As the prepaid voucher option reversed withholding lines and recalculate with final invoice total so the withholding to be deducted is calculated at 15% = 1500 (10000 * 15%).
    - As the prepaid invoice withholding might have already been paid in March before the rate changed, the final invoice should have withholding of 750.
    I'm not sure if my understanding of recording withholding for India is correct and whether it really needs to be recorded in the month that invoice is raised. As the way I understood and have been told it has to be recorded in that month. I.e. invoice received on 30 April must be entered into accounting period of April. Our business close AP/GL about a week before the end of month so if we receive invoice on 30th April but our AP/GL already closed on 25th Apr then 30th Apr invoice should go to May accounting period. As statutury requirement is to record this into April. How does anyone handle this?
    Thanks.

  • How to get access to a business Unit in Fusion Sales Cloud for Incentive compensation user

    Hi all,
    We are setting up a new environment and we do not seem to get access to the Business Unit.
    We have all the roles necessary and have access to the required screens but cannot populate any data as the business Unit DropDown is not showing any values.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I don't think the IT Security Manager role is going to help you in the Incentive Comp plan UI.
    This is a screenshot from my test environment where I have these two roles for the business unit "IC Performance Test".  I am not an IC expert and this was set up a couple of years ago, so I don't recall all the details.  I have pinged the IC team to comment on this.

  • Track Purchases/payments Sales/Receipts for 2 business units in 1 OU

    Hi,
    We have one Operating unit and need to capture the liabilities/payables for 2 different business units. What approach can be undertaken to set up the liability account ?
    Should we maintain 2 different liability accounts ?
    If the same supplier deal with both business then at which point do we enter different liability accounts ?
    How do we track the purchases made for each.
    Kindly through some light.
    Same is required for the AR side too.

    Hi
    2.On the Purcahsing side , when entering the po the users should put the BU value in the segment when entering non-inventory(expense) item . How about the inventory item purchase ?
    Ans:You can use two separate Sub Inventories for each BU
    3. Any ideas to overcome the inability to receive cash against BU ?
    Ans: There is an Account Generator called AR: Substitute Balancing Segment: Replace Balancing Segment. Using the WF customization, I understand this could be possible. But it will not be supported by Oracle because before the receipt hits the Cash account it has to pass through several intermediary accounts like unapplied receipts, undentified receipts, Confirmation account, Remittance account On account receipt etc., Only R12 Subledger Accounting has the supported solution. If you are using Oracle Public Sector Financials, then there is a solution for this called Multi fund receipt in 11.5.10.
    4. Just like we can setup different transaction types in AR, can we have some means to identify the purchase/invoices of the 2 different BU ?
    Ans: You need to capture only through a DFF. But I feel this is not required when you run the AP Trial balance report, you need to specify the Liability account. So if you give in that as BU2, you are going to get only BU 2 related invoices and if you specify BU1, it is going to filter BU1 invoices only. If it does not happen also you can customize this report to filter in that way.
    Hope this helps

  • Restricting Access in Solution Manager by Business Unit?

    Hi Experts
    We are currently in the process of upgrading our Solution Manager to 7.0 EHP 1. Business wants to restrict access in Solution Manager by business unit. Is this possible? Is it possible to create derived roles which restrict on buisness unit without having to custominze? If it is possible which object needs to be maintained? I'm already aware of restricting access by project using S_Project but this still allows users to view other projects. The requirement is that users only view projects for their business unit.
    Please advise experts.

    Hi There,
    I dont see any reason why you cannot acheive your objective in SolMan, You should be able customize views per business under SPRO_ADMIN and derive required view with in PFCG role separated by business.
    Yes, You can also do derived roles concept in Solman and restrict by Org Units.
    Guys - Do you differ from my opinion?

    Hi,
    Assign business unit level read access to your entity for which you have written the Report.
    Assign the respective business unit to the user, in your case assign business unit Partner to user Partner
    and  business unit Manager to user Manager 
    Also use filtered view in your report if it is SSRS report.

  • Linking Corporate cockpit and Business Unit Cockpit

    hi all,
    Our requirement is to create Management cockpits for Corporate and Business unit : providing a picture of overall situation in corporation as well as in its strategic business units.
    The user should be able to move from aggregated figures for the entire group to the detailed information on each stategic business units.
    My problem is how should i link Corporate Cockpit with Strategic Business Unit Cockpit so that the user would be able to move from aggregated to detailed information ?
    Thanks in advance for suggestions.
    regards,
    Yogesh

    Hi,
    Q no 1:
    Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways  by which sourcing can be done.
    1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
    Service requirement without part number
    2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
    once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and  SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
    you can get all the requirements.
    From this  you can convert  it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
    Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
    This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
    Workflow for  Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
    If you are SAP ABAP person they you can confugure this .Normally  ABAP person will do this.. Please go to S ID and get the
    details there for Business rule framework
    Just check in this forum in Search you can get more details and notes
    go to  Google.com and enter business rule framework you get more material

  • Derive business unit from billing doc

    Hi all,
    I am trying to derive the business unit (VBRK-BZIRK) from the billing document instead of the customer master data.
    For that purpose, I added the charachteristic "billing document" (WWBD) and then I create  a derivation rule of type 'table lookup' with the following parameters:
    source:
    VBRK     VBELN     Billing Document     =     CO-PA     WWBD     Billing Document
    Assignment of table fields to target fields:
    VBRK     BZIRK     Business Unit     =     CO-PA     BZIRK     Business Unit
    on the condition tab I added the range of sales organizations for which this derivation needsto be active:
    CO-PA     VKORG     Sales Organization     >=     6000
    CO-PA     VKORG     Sales Organization     <=     8000
    When I test it in KEDR by entering, customer, sales org, billing document, is is working OK, but when I do an actual by creating a billing document, the derivation is not working.
    Does anyone know why this derivation is not working?
    And also, is there a way to analyze the actual derivation (not the test run in KEDR)?
    Thanks,
    Yoel.

    Hi Ajay,
    I finally got some ABAP help and was able to add an entry in table TKEZU using view V_TKEZU:
    Char.     BTran     Table     Field Name
    WWBD     KEDR     KOMK     BELNR
    Now, when I try to create the derivation rule with type table lookup I face another problem: in the 'source fields' section I
    am required to enter the operating concern (TKEZU-ERKRS), the field name (TKEZU-MERKMAL) and the business transaction (TKEZU-VRGNG), but when I enter the parameters (i.e. TKEZU-ERKRS=US10, TKEZU-MERKMAL=WWBD
    and TKEZU-VRGNG=KEDR) I get an error "Enter a valid source field. The field US10 is not a permitted source field" (message no. K/018).
    When I try to select values from the list (F4), I can only select out
    of the carachteristic names available in the system.
    Why am I not getting on the drop down list the real values for the table fields?
    Thanks,
    Yoel.

  • Duplicate detection rule by business unit

    Hi there,
    Our CRM is used by multiple business units and they have different requirements for duplicate detection rules. For example, BU A would like to detect exact duplicate on Email Address 1 only, and BU B detects duplicates on Mobile only but allows duplicate
    email address 1.
    I have User 1 in BU A and owns the Email Address 1 duplicate check rule. Then I have User 2 in BU B trying to create a record with duplicate Email Address 1 and the Email Address 1 duplicate check rule fired. The Security role of User 2 allows
    CRUD access to Duplicate Detection Rule at business unit level.
    How do I configure so that only Mobile rule is fired for User 2, and only Email Address 1 rule is fired for User 1?
    Thanks,
    Henri

    Hello Henri,
    OOB duplicate detection is global setting and in case you will use it - the same rules would be used for all users in all BUs. To solve your problem you will have to develop own solution to implement your scenario.

  • Elimination Business Units and being able to manually journalize to them

    Elimination Business Units are created and marked as consol only under general ledger definition. The assumption based on functionality in previous version of PS including 9.0 and 8.9 is that business units marked as consol only can only be used by the consolidations process. During unit testing, user was able to successfully manually create a journal entry and book to the elimination business unit. Is this a defect or a feature change? If this is a feature change and business user has a requirement that elimination business units can not be manually booked to, how can I meet this requirement?

    Hello Brad.
    Don't know how you had trouble with any attachments being embedded in a Mail.app message prior to Tiger Mail since all Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail didn't support composing or sending HTML formatted messages including when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
    If the recipient is accessing the email account via webmail, doubtful it is the computer having this problem. Non-image/photo type attachments should not be available in the body of the message when a recipient accesses the account via webmail regardless that all attachments appear in the body of the message when sent by Mail. The same when a recipient uses Outlook or Outlook Express when receiving non-image/photo type attachments such as Excel, Word or PowerPoint attachments. These type of attachments appear in an attachments only area below the message header and the same with image/photo type attachments that may also appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient.
    The recipient can try clearing the cache for the browser used but if the attachments are not available at the server when the message is received, this is a Bell South issue since the attachments are being stripped at the server when received.
