CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
However
When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
any ideas ?

Here's some information from Support that helped me...
Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
very complex and difficult to manage.
Some Additional Notes:
- Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
- If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
- Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

Why is business area assignment to co.code, not required

why is business area assignment to co.code, not required

Hi
You can define a business area in <b>OX03</b> (SPRO>Enterprise>Definition-->FI)
And now if you want to assign this business area to your company code, you can do so in configuring the global parameters <b>OBY6</b>
It all depends on how you want to assign your business area. You can also assign all the balance sheet accounts and P&L accounts to a business area.
Well, in the configuration, business area field would have been optional in the field status group; thats why you might think that its not required.
Hope you got a picture what I am trying to say; if not, explain us your exact problem, will be forwarding the right answer.

Importing business area and then using workbook file

I need to use a workbook that was created by another user and saved as an external file.
They exported their business area and sent it to me with the workbook.
When I tried to open the workbook after sucessfully importing the business area I could not find the imported business area and the components that go with it and their was no way to browse to find them.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks.

If you want to use an external workbook that was saved to the desktop. You choose open and then click the icon with the label computer underneath.
If the components in your business area are not the same as the ones where the workbook was created you will be given the option to substitute values to match what is in the workbook with what is in the business area.
When you choose this option however, it displays only the first three business areas you have access to. There is an up and down arrow but no scroll bar implying that these are all the options. However usual windows practice did not apply and the ommitted scroll bar did not mean that all the list was displayed, clicking the down arrow would uncover more business areas.
When I finished sustituting the variables I still got a join error. It was taking too much time so I got username and password of the account where the workbook was created.

How can I make Business area field optional in MIRO

Hi,
whyle posting invoice the system is asking business area as required input.
I don't want to put business area.
Is there any way to avoid this ?
I don't want to change, spro settings.
How can I avoid business area in MIRO?
waiting for your input..
Thank you,
Marella.

check the GL accounts field status variant attached to the Invoice posting.
also check in PO whether u have the BA field filled up. in case u r using BA accounting then that value shld be there..... as u said u dont want to put BA as field in miro , that means u r not using BA thing... so u can always maintain all the FSV of GL for BA as optional/supressed...

Block from key in business area for company do not have business area

Dear experts,
How can I do a validation rule to block from key in business area for company do not have business area?
Kindly advice.
tks!

Hi,
One option, you can create role via Tcode PFCG for each user/company which do not have business area. You can disable the business area in authorization tab.
One more option you can greyed or freezed the business area field for the company which do not have the business area by using Tcode OBC4. You can suppress the business area field for each GL that been used by the company code. In other words, you create special field status group for the company and suppress the business area.
Hope this will help you.
TQ

Importing business areas

When exporting and importing business areas (from test to prod e.g.) i sometimes get the following problem.
For some workbooks I would like to use joins between folders in different business areas without "sharing" the folders between the business areas. This works fine when setting it up directly, but I have problems when exporting and importing. From previous advice I understood that I need to export and import both business areas and that the order in which I do so makes a difference. I tried this and found that it sometimes works and sometimes does not. So far I have not been able to determine why. Any help ? I use Disc Admin 4.1

It may be a similar issue to the Oracle BIS views. If you bring in the business areas by the import / export utility, it will order the input alphabetically, not an order that makes sense.
For example, if you had 2 business areas, and 1 was called: A and the second B (original names huh), if business area A had a folder joined to B, then at the time it comes in, B is not defined and I believe the join may go by the wayside.
I definitely know this is an issue with BIS and the most reliable way to not have this occur is to using a Unix emulator that Oracle recommends to bring the business areas in, in the correct order so that the joins are correct.
In your case, I'd check to see if this could be the problem and if so, could you alter the names of the business areas so that if imported back in the alphabetically order would work?
Just a thought.

Re: balance field business area in line item 0003 not filled message GLT22

Hi
I am getting the afroesaid error while releasing the document to account after invoicing.
Message No : GLT2201
Diagnosis: The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in Line Item 003, even after document splitting.
System Response: The document cannot be posted
Procedure:First Check your entries
Additional causes could be :
-No value can be drived for this field from the current document data
- You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose
I have checked all the Field status variants for GLs and the filed status for posting keys. Everywhere the Business Area is marked as compulsory. In the document the business area has been entered. In splitting the document types have been assigned to the correct transaction and variant.
The error happens when i am releasing a customer invoive for billing. In case I release one sale order in invoicing this error does not happen. But when I combine more then one sales order or service order the error happens.
Pls suggest what could be the error
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

Hi,
Please check whether u have maintained the Document splitting characteristics for General ledger Accounting in that u need to check whether your Business area is defined and Zero balance and Partner field of mandatory field are checked.
Check while posting any of the line item should be filled with Business area.

Customizing

At the bottom of your error message details is the word "Customizing". You should be able to click on that and it should take you to the general location in SPRO of what needs to be fixed. From reading the message, my guess is that it will take you to the Document Splitting config. (Financial Accounting Global Settings/General Ledger Accounting (New)/Business Transactions/Document Splitting) 1. Check to see if you have Business Area under your config: Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting (for our company we have: GSBER Business Area field, zero balance checked, and PARGB in the Partner field and Mandatory Field checked.) My "guess" is that you've configured your Business Area to be a mandatory field. 2. Make sure under the config "Classify Document Types for Document Splitting" that your WE is set up correctly. For our company, we use Transaction 0600 and variant 0001 for WE.
We recently encountered that same error when we turned on a function in Enhancement Pack 4. For doc type "WE", we had transaction 0000 and once we changed it to 0600 for us in that doc splitter config, the MIGO would post.
Hope that helps,
Cindy

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 004 not filled

Hi people,
We are trying to execute the transaction "MBST" (cancel material document) and the system is showing:
"Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 004 not filled"
"The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 004, even after document splitting."
We have the transaction OKB9 ok. All the acconts are with the configuration ok with the respective profit center.
All the configuration in the "Document Splitting" are ok to.
Could you help me please?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hi Rosana
It looks strange.. When the original document got posted, why does the reversal poses a problem
I can think of only one reason...
Check what document type is used for reversal.. Is it the same as original document? If it is different, check what Business transaction type is assigned against the 2 doc types.... (IMG Step Classify document types for document splitting)
Another possiblity could be that the posting key used during reversal has BUSINESS AREA suppressed...You can check what posting key is used in reversal using one of the earlier reversal docs

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled- GLT2201

Hello Guys,
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
We have defaulted profit center and Business area to WBS element. Document splitting is active. We have done PR, PO. Here WBS,Profit center, Business area is populated. And when we are doing MIGO we are getting error as "Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled
Message no. GLT2201"
Earlier only profit center is defaulted to WBS element, there was no error.
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Regards,
SK

Hi
The error could be because of the following reasons:
1. The Business Area field is supressed
2. The assignment for Plant to Business area is different from the Business Area mentioned in the WBS Element.
3. You need to check the Splitting Characteristics and the Item Categories assigned for Material Document. The path for the same is :
IMG>Financial Accounting>General Ledger accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Extended Document Splitting
Thanks & Regards

hi ravi,
kindly check your config of document splitting and also check the document type defined in document splitting....
check the field status of the document type.
also check whether there are any validations as such for business area
finally check your OKB9 settings whether bus. area and profit centre has been defined for that particualr cost element.

i have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. utility says it has found a new base station and asks if i want to use it. if i click yes, then the old setup is disabled.

Ok, thanks for clarifying which models you have. Please see the following Apple Support article on how to configure these older base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

Issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi Gurus...
I have facing an issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled
I have maintained material management small difference account (DIF), to post the small differences... between PO value and (vendor) Invoice Value....
At the time of posting invoice system giving this error... even after maintaining the business area and profit center in MIRO transaction...
Here we have activated Document splitting in FI, also Business Area & Profit Center are mandatory fields..
Pls give some inputs in fixing this issue..
Thanks in advance....
Regards
Shashidhar..

Hi
There could be multiple reasons for this. Pls check on:
1. For the Expense Account assigned in DIF, have u made the assignment for deriving Profit Center & Business Area in T Code OKB9
2. Ask your FI Consultant to check the Splitting Characteristics for the MIGO. Check the Splitting Characteristics assigned to the Accounting Document Type assigned to T Code MIGO. Also check if all the GL Accounts have been assigned a splitting characteritics. The path is:
IMG> Financial Accounting(New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting
3. Do you maintain profit center as a default in material Master? If yes, check if the same has been assigned in the view extended for the plant concerned?
Pls check the settings. If any doubt, revert back.
Thanks & Best Regards
