Please advice.Thank you.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the answer.My question is : how could I know that business area balance sheet is on? And what the relationship between balance sheet and internal order then?
If I lock the wrong business are (its means lock also the order number) then crate new order number with using reference of the old one; how about the 'history' of the order then?
Please advice since I'm new in Controlling area.
Thanks before for your kind assistance.

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

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.

Greta

Change business are in cost center

Hi
How to change business are in the already created cost center ???? Pls advice
Thanx

Hi
SAP note 62716 covers this process to change BA if data already exists:
I have copied below in case you dont have access to notes:
Symptom
When you attempt to change the company code or the business area in the master record of the cost center, the system displays message KS020 or KS134 because dependent data already exists, or the system displays message KS021 because the change interval is not set to the year limits.
Enhancement: As of Release 4.6C the report RKACOR06 is enhanced so that you can also change the master data from business processes (CO-ABC, Activity Based Costing) correspondingly.
Reason and Prerequisites
For actual postings, the company code is updated in the document. It is therefore not possible to change the company code of the participating account assignment (for example cost center) later on.
The checks for dependent data, however, are carried out on year level. For this reason, it is not possible to change the company code or the business area during the fiscal year.
Solution
Using report RKACOR06, you can also make changes to the company code and the business area in the master record of the cost center during the fiscal year if the following requirements are met:
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' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
If the system contains dependent planning data in a plan integrated version, any respective profit centers and extended general ledgers that exist must be restructured. For profit center accounting, you can use Transaction 1KE0 for this purpose.
Caution! If you change the company code of a cost center, a reversal of a posting in a different period can no longer be carried out if the cost center is assigned to another company code in the reversal period.
Report RKACOR06 is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.1I.
For prior releases, you can download the report from the FTP server sapserv3 from the directory /general/R3server/abap/note.0062716.
Report RKACOR06 does not generate any change pointers. Thus, if you want to send the change of cost centers via ALE, use Transaction BD16.
If you cannot change the BA for some other reason, please provide details.
Regards, Elaine

Problem in changing business area in asset master record - urgent

I am facing this problem while trying to change the cost center of an asset to another cost center belonging to a different business area. We are on ECC 6.0.
I have activated time independent management of organizational units for my company code, and business area and cost center field is becoming editable. But when I try to change the cost center, the system asks whether I want to overwrite existing time dependent data. When I click "No", it asks to enter the validity start date for the new cost center.
Here is where the problem comes. When I try to save the asset, the system tries to generate a FI posting, and cannot find the profit center (made mandatory in document splitting).
I have checked in debugging (in a separate program used for substitution) that initially prctr field for bseg is populated, but in spite of that while posting the document, the system cannot determine the profit center.
If any one has faced this problem and knows the solution, kindly help.

Pls check if you have maintained profit centers under General Ledger Accounting (New) > Master Data> Profit Center--> Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts

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...

AS02 Change Business Area

Dear all,
I would like to transfer an asset from 1 cost center to new cost center which is crossing business area.
i had searched through forum and found there are only 2 ways to maintain this.
i would like to maintain same asset number for this transfer, therefore i activate iMG > Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units.
However when i change this using AS02, error message shown F5 814 "Document Type not defined".
Kindly advise on the necessary config...

Hi
Please check the content of online help documents for the IMG customizing: Asset Accounting -> Master Data -> Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units:
You need to make this specification if the following applies: You want to be able to change the assignment to a business area or cost center using a simple master data transaction, although you create balance sheets at the business area level or profit center level. The system then automatically creates a transfer document when you make this master data change to the business area or cost center
That means you have to define a document type for the transfer document created by above activity.
Best regards
George

How to change business area on posted FI documents

There are some vendor invoice documents (Doc type KR), posted with the business area 5000 in this company code XXX. BUT
The actual business area to be posted is 5300.
This problem is happening only from Oct mid as per the user
Requirement:
Requirement is , we want to change the business area from u20185000 to u201C5300u201D on all the posted documents.
ALSO is there any program to change the business arae on all the posted FI documents.
Please help us.
Thanks,
Raghav

Dear all,
no there is neither a transaction nor a report to change an already posted Business area.
Due to data consistency even if You insert the field GSBER into TBAER, You cannot change the BA value.
The only thing You can do is to reverse the document and to post it again with the correct BA.
I'm sorry but this is the sap standard System design.
I hope this helps.

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.

Changing Business Area

Hello Friends,
I am posting vendor invoice, when i simulate the invoice that time Input tax is automatically calculating the tax. My problem is, in the input tax line item business area is required field which is appearing in display mode. How to enter my business are or is there any other way.
Please through some light on this issue.
Rams.N

Hello
Tax items are neither automatically filled with B.A. nor you can enter a value
manually. This is the standard functionality. You can find more
information in the note 199886.
You should not define the field business area as Required entry for tax accounts.
In case of using New G/L configuration you can activate the document splitting functionality to get B.A. splitted or inherited from the cost item. Refer to the related documentation:

Substitution rule for STO - changing business area.

Hello Experts,
We are transferring stock from one plant to another plant. Each plant is business area. We are doing stock transfer at some profit element of Rs. 250. Transfer is done from Business Area D002 to Business Area D001.
When we do outbound delivery, it posts following entry:
Stock A/c... Dr (Business Area D001) Rs.1250
To Stock A/c (Business Area D002) Rs.1000
To Profit on transfer (Business Area D001) Rs.250
However, I want to substitute business area for third line. I want that, business area D001 should be replaced with business area D002. However, there is some substitution rule for the same. Please tell me, how this substitution can be done.
Please help
Deepak

What is your price control for your material for both plant ?
What is the process for your stock transfer ?
However, as of my knowledge, you can't achieve this accounting entry in standard.
See, if you are using MAP for material for both plant, then accounting entry will be
Stock A/C debit for plant D001
Stock A/C credit for plant D002.
If you are using standard price for material, then accounting entry will be
Stock A/C debit for plant D001
Stock A/C credit for plant D002
Price diff account credit or debit (as per the price difference for material price for both plant).

Change Business area field

The business area field has not picked up the BA for some documents. Can the business area be input in the field of the already posted document.
The field status of the BA at GL, Account group, posting key level has been made as optional.

And most important activate Business Area FS in company code settings (T001)
Company Code > Enter global parameters
Cheers
