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

  • Trnasfer of Asset frm one Business Area to Another in same Company code

    Hi Experts
    In my Asset Accounting Business Area is mandatory field and when I transfer asset from one business area to another business area system change the asset number from old to new number, the problem is that suppose asset A with useful life of 10 years already utilized three years in business area 1010 and after three years when I transfer this asset to another business area 1020 system again calculate 10 years in new asset which is wrong it should be seven years because 3 years already used in previous business area, please help me that how to resolve this issue.

    Hi
    If you are transferring to a new asset - You can maintain the useful life in the new asset master as 7 yrs
    Else, do the settings in IMG > AA > Transactions > Transfers > Inter CO Asset Trf > Define Trf variants.... Here, you can try to configure which fields must be taken over during transfers... This is usually used for Cross Comp Trf.. however, try to use in your case and see if it works

  • F.27 Generate one statement for items posted in several company codes

    Have a customer extended to several company codes. This customer has open AR line items in several company codes. Client wants to generate a statement that includes all AR line items. (Cross company code Statement) I found a place in config for defining correspondence types where there is a setting for "Cross comp. code. I choose this setting for several standard correspondence types but the system still generates a separate account statement/open item list for each company code where the customer has postings. Can the system generate a cross company code statement using standard config?

    Hi Russ
    In the IMG task ASSING PROGRAMS FOR CORRESPONDENCE TYPE dont specify the company code for your correspondence type and then you should be able to get all the open items across the company code.
    Also you need to select the cross company code in the Correspondence type config.
    Thanks

  • Defaulting Business Area  on IT0001 based on Company Code

    All - My company wants this field ( GSBER maintained in Table TGSB) to default on IT0001 based on the Company Code. Is there a way to do this, since I see no table in SAP that links Company Code to Business Area. Additional Requirement is that all non-employees ( EE Groups) will not have a Business Area mapped to their IT0001, instead it should default to "not assigned".
    Can a custome feature be built in this case based on Molga>Company Code>Employee Group or can you experts provide some recommendations.
    Thanks a milion.

    Hi Niti,
    For PBAS0001 enhancement - EXIT_SAPFP50M_001 function - ZXPADU01 include, write a code like the one below:
    IF INNNN=INFTY EQ '0001'.
    DATA: wa_P0001 like P0001.
    CALL METHOD CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PRELP_TO_PNNNN
    EXPORTING
    PRELP = INNNN
    IMPORTING
    PNNNN = wa_P0001.
    CASE wa_P0001-BUKRS .
    WHEN '0001'.
    wa_P0001-GSBER = 'B001'.
    WHEN '0002'.
    wa_P0001-GSBER = 'B002'.
    ENDCASE.
    CALL METHOD CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PNNNN_TO_PRELP
    EXPORTING
    PNNNN = wa_P0001
    IMPORTING
    PRELP = INNNN.
    ENDIF.

  • Can One Business system have two technical systems assigned to it

    Can One Business system have two technical systems assigned to it

    hi,
    the technical system describes the physical view and the business system the logical view, respectively.
    So in most cases you must define both but while a technical system can only link to one WEB AS, more than one business systems can link to the same technical system.
    But one Business System can have only one technical system.
    Logical system for senders and receivers in XI can be defined as business systems which is associated with technical systems. You may req to create BS for identifying individual senders and recievers. Technical system is gateway having the technical details and it is in the ID we designate it to be either a sender or a receiver.
    Follow the link below to learn moer on it:

  • Can a personnel area be assigned to more than one company code?

    Hi experts,
    Can a personnel area be assigned to more than one company code?
    Regards,
    Anita George

    Yes, as Siva said it is not possible.
    Between personnel area and company code -
    many to one mapping is allowed but one to many is not allowed. That is you can map more than one PA to 1 company code but 1 PA can not be map to more than one company code.

    You should have no problem creating a report using more than one Business Area, we share folders across BAs all the time for ease of management. As long as your joins exist its not a problem.

  • Wrong business area assigned to the company code

    Hi All ,
    I am getting error " Wrong business area assigned to the company code  " while posting a document in F- 02
    please advise

    Dear Balasubramaniyan,
    You can supress the field Business area field in Field status Groups.
    For this follow the following steps
    Please check TCode OBC4 for field status variants
    > Goto G001 (General) Field status group
    >Additional Account Assignment
    > Click supress in front of business area.
    In that case, F-02 will not even ask for business area.
    Also check whether Business area FS is ticked in front of your company code in TCode OB65
    You may also refer to the following thread
    How to assign business area to company code?
    I hope this solves your query.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Asset transfer from One Business Area to another Business Area

    Hello,

    Procedure
    Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
    can any one please tell me how I transfer my Asset from one business area to another Business area?

    Finally transfer the balance from old asset to new assets in the ABUMN
                OR
    IF you want solution as per your issue ..Go to SPRO-> Financial Accounting-> Asset Accounting->Transactions-> Specify Default Transaction Types

    in the filed of Transfer Between Areas

  • Two fact tables in one business area

    Hi,
    Would there be problem if two fact tables, one flat, one with hierarchy, in one business area. Both fact tables are joined to same set of dimension tables except one: region_1 to fact_1, region_2 to fact_2. The consistency check is fine. But I get error in Answers. I don't have the exact error with me, but it is complains about fact_1 is not linked region_2.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks.

    Thank you, Stijn, Ced for your kind reply.
    I did not explain it clearly.
    The fact_1 (flat) table has data in all levels (detailed and aggregated). For example, it has % sales to planned from city, state to national (we were not provided with numberator and demoninator to aggregate the detailed data). The fact_2 table has only city level data and have a dimension region_2 with city, state and national hierarchy. For data in Fact_1 table, we simply want to show them in reports. For data in Fact_2 table, reports can drill-down.
    In Answers, the error is "Incorrectly defined logical table source ( for fact table Fact_1) does not contain mapping for region_2.state_id".

  • Transfer of a Asset from one Business Area to Another Business area

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working for a Indian client in ECC6.
    presently we are using "ABUMN" TCODE to transfer asset from one business area to another business area. But, in this process we have to create a new asset or transfer to a existing asset with new business area. So, we are retiring the Old asset transferred and the total value and accm. dep is transferred to the new asset.
    Now, my client doesnot want to create a new asset, he wants the old asset no. to be retained and  keep track of the transfers from one business area to another.
    In Time Dependent intervals, i am unable to change Business are. it is only allowing to keep track of changes in Cost centre. Likewise i want for Business area.
    Can anybody help?
    regards
    Jaya

    Hi Jaya,
    we need to maintain the screen layout rules for the asset master data for the above issue.
    Path: SPRO, Financial Accounting, Asset Accounting, Master Data, Screen Layout, Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
    Double click Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
    Select your screen layout and double click "Logical field group" folder.
    Then double click on "3 Time dependent data" and double click "Field group rules".
    Here maintain the rule for business area exactly as it looks like for cost center.
    Hope this helps you....

  • Using more than one Business area in the same report

    Hi,
    Is it possible / recommended to use more than one business area in the same report.
    For example, I have a sales (business area sales) report on one tab and a rebates(rebates business area) report on a second tab.
    Thanks

    Hello
    Possible: yes
    Recommended: no
    This can certainly be done and Discoverer will not prevent you from having reports that use different business areas as you describe.
    However, for management and security purposes it does not make for ease of use. As you know a user has the ability to share a workbook with another user. If they do this then ALL reports within that workbook are shared. If the receiving user does not have access to one or more of the business areas then some reports will run and some will not. This can be very confusing to an end user and a possible nightmare to administer.
    My recommendation would be to have a workbook per business area and not mix.
    If there is more than one business area per functional area, for example sales and returns, then so long as the users have access to both business areas then you could use a common workbook.
    Personally I would not even do this, so my strongest advice would be to have all reports in a workbook written against the same business area.
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    Are you using Business Consolidation functionality (either R/3 - ECCS or SEM-BCS) in your Organization?
    Probably based on your Business requirements, you can consider Business Area Consolidation.
