Change in Business Area in project structure

We use Project System to execute large turnkey projects. Due to recent
change in Organisation Structure , it is necessary to change the
Business Area field in Pending Projects. Is it possible to change the
field for pending projects. In some of the projects the networks are
released , the business area field is greyed out and not modifiable.
Can you suggest the solution in this case.
With Regards

Hi
It's possible to change BA only if the option "Time-independent" is checked" in customizing for AA:
ORFA->Master Data->Specify Time-Independent Management of Org. Units

Problem in changing the Business Area?

Hi,
I have a discoverer report where the eul folders are in one business are. Now I need to change the business area. By manage folder option I can do that.
Now my query is as the business are is changed for the folder what should I do for the workbook. Do I need to recreate it because the business area definitions are changed.
Could anyone please help....
Thanks

Hi,
You don't need to change the workbook at all. However, make sure the business area security is correct so that the workbook owner can still access the folder. The workbook references the folder and so the folder will be shown in the new business area when you inspect the workbook items.

Now i want to change the business area to 2000 for the existing cost center 1001ADM with effect from 01.04.2008.

Hi,
Changing the business area is possible. Go to KS02> Menus> Analysis period --> Give the new analysis period for which you want to change the field business area.
Now give the new business area. you will get a message changing this field will take time to check the dependent data. Give 'Yes'. It will check all the depending data and then change the field for the new analysis period.
Good Luck!!!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Change of business area in direct table entry

Hello All,
We are trying to change the business area in table MSEG by direct table entry through se16n.
But i am getting the error "GL account XXXXXXX not fouind in table SKA1."However when i check the table SKA1,entry XXXXXXX exists in table SKA1.The company has decided to change its policy and therefore they want to change the business area..Please tell me the procedure so that i can change the business area.
Thanks,
Saurabh Kumbhare

Hi Pravin,
First of all, do not change the values directly in tables.
You want to change Business Area in MSEG but at the time document entry there may be other tables where this entry might have gone. So you need to identify all the tables before you do the change. Hence it is better to consult FI/CO team to find the solution from funtional side.
However, still if you need to change the value then look for the GL A/C in table SKB1. Since SKB1 is company code dependent data you have to check if the said GL exists or not in company code contained in MSEG.

Change of Business Area to Cost Center (my first thread , please help)

Hi Everybody i'm Charmaine Leena Martin freshly certified FICO consultant , this is my first thread i'm posting, please help me with the same.
A wrong business area has been assigned to a cost center and postings have taken place in the same.
while using t-code KS02: change cost center , for rectifying the business area , i get the following error:
"Field change business area is not possible (transaction data exists)"
so i've created a new cost center and assigned it the right business
and using t-code kb61 : i have posted the documents to the new cost center
at that time system generates a co-document automatically:
But the accounting document of which transfer postings have taken place still shows old business area and cost center
Please let me know why is it so ,
and what has to be done with the CO document that gets posted automatically
and is there any other way out of changing the business area without creation of new cost center
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Hi Leena
Welcome to SDN
Do KB11N to post the cost back to the Wrong cost center
Do an FI Posting again Dr the Correct new cost center and Cr the Old wrong cost center
This will match both FI and CO

Business Area in Enterprise Structure

Can someone please explain the purpose of Business Area/Business Unit in the Enterprise Structure? I'm wondering, functionally, how it is different from personnel area and personnel subarea, as we use the PA and PSA to distinguish between departments and business units, respectively. Are there integration differences, or is there not a significant difference?
Thanks for any replies and help.
-Nick

Hey Nick,
If you bring up the help on Business Area within the IMG, you get the following:
Define Business Area
Use
In this section you create business areas. A business area is an
organizational unit within accounting that represents a separate area of
operations or responsibilities in a business
organization.
When defining a business area, you enter a four-character alphanumeric key
and the name of the business area.
In a client, you can set up
several business areas to which the system can assign the postings made in all
company codes defined in
this client. To ensure consistency in document entry, you should give business
areas the same name in all company codes.
You make all other specifications for your business areas in the Financial
Accounting Implementation Guide.
So as this and Theo also indicated above, this is relevant for FI.
Hope this helps!

Change of Business Area in Line item

My client has posted many documents without assigning Business Area to each line item. When they try to assign in the document overview, the field is grayed out. Can anyone help me in sloving this issue.

Hi,
BA is not allowed for change on already posted document, even if document change rule is maintained, and field status is correct. BA is one of the organizational units (like company code, profit center etc..) and these fields are not changable by system default.
You must reverse the document with incorrect BA (trx. FB08) and post a new document with the correct BA.

Warning message should be raised when user changes Business Area in MIRO.

Hello all,
My requirement is,
When in MIRO transaction, in details tab the BA (Business Area) comes from PO line items. When user changes this Business Area to some other value then the system should raise a warning message and continue with the transaction. It happens in MRHR transaction in 4.6. Now we are on ECC6.0 and user wants this functionality.
So is there any configuration to be done or so I need to write User Exit?
Please explain in details like where to make these config settings and all.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Harshal,
Make use of EXIT_SAPLMRMP_010 in Enchancement LMR1M001 User exits in Logistics Invoice Verification.
Raise your warning message by validating GSBER present in structure in exit's FM : EXIT_SAPLMRMP_010
hope this helps.

Business area in FI changing without using substitutions

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the business area when we post a clearing document?
For example, we need to pay the line item that have business area 3000. Then we use transaction F110 to create a payment then a clearing docuement will be created with business area 3000. Can we configure it to change to Business area 1000 when we do the payment.
I tried to implement a FI substitution but Business area field cannot be changed(OSS Note 42615). we can do that by changing standard program but it is not recommended by SAP.
Any idea on how to do this? Configuration, BTE or any user exits? Point will be rewarded for any helpful answer.

hi raj,
Could you please explain more about assignment and substitution? did you implement this before?
I am in doubt because OSS Note 42615 said that GSBER (Business area) must not be substituted. Therefore, if you implement it and there is no problem, I will do the same.
Thanks,

Changing business area on a cost center

We mainly use HR, but we use some FI/CO for accounting. (I am no expert in FI/CO whatsoever - so please excuse any incorrect terms).
Our users have entered incorrect business area to a cost center.
This business area is now registered on employees, and payroll/posting has been run up unitil October 2010.
If I try to change business area from 01.11.2009 (realize it is probably not good to change earlier due to postings); I get the following error message: "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
In addition, the message says: If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...". However, trying to change the analysis period I am told I have to choose year end.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way I can change business area from 01.11.2009 ?
2. Is there a way to change area earlier - and if so, what are the impacts+
I appreciate any help
Kirsten
Edited by: Kibo on Oct 11, 2009 2:44 PM

Hi Kirsten,
Normally, it's not possible to change business area during a fiscal year once there is already postings in this Fiscal Year.
The reason is to make sure that there is no change within the fiscal year since you then would have different postings - cost center belonging to different business areas within the same fiscal year. Meaning that it is possible to change the business area for the next fiscal year like described in the long text of the error message KS134. The reason is that it is to avoid inconsistency update of the table (COSS, COEP, or COSP).
Although, If the following requirements are met, than it is is possible to change the business area during a fiscal year with the
help of the note 62716:
1. The change interval is set to period limits
2. There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval
    or afterwards.
3. There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost
    center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this
    is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center'
If the requirements are met, you can run the report RKACOR06 in SE38
safely. I recommend you to execute the report first with Test Run on
your test system.

Field Business Area in cost center cannot be changed

Hello all,
we would like to change the "Business Area FS" (OB65) field for our
company code to required. But if we do that, we have issues with 2 of
our cost centers (ks02, analysis period 01/01/10-12/31/10) that won't
allow us to enter a business area.
We get the following error message:
NA KS134 Field change Business Area is not possible.
Diagnosis: To ensure of existing data, you can only change object
Business Area if no transaction data exists in the change period; that
is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
I have checked with our accounting and the cost center report does not
have any data in actual nor budget.
Somehow I figured out that we do have an entry in table CEKO for this
cost center for 2010. (se16n). I did some further research and tried to
test report RKPLNC18 to delete this entry. But I get the message:
the deletion could not be carried out. The following plan/actual
records are available...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anne

Hi
You can change the business area in cost center by changing the Analysis period. If there's any data exsist it is not allow you to change the business area. If else block or eleate the cost center and create a new one ( even though this might not permitted if data exsist in related to cost center.

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...
