Business Area Configuration.

Hi,
Our client is now expanding to new business, and to configure a new business area for the same.Presently no business area is defined.
Pls suggest me,whether to go for new business area or new company code and we are in ECC 6.0 enviornment.
Regards,
Nagesh

Hi
Is the new line of business going to be a separate reporting legal entity. If yes then a new company code needs to be configured.
If the same is not a separate legal entity then go for business areas. The profitablilty for each business area can be tracked anyhow for operational decision making.
Thanks

New Business Area Configuration

Hi,
I have an issue,Please support me!
So far we have not configured Business Area and using company code only.
However owing to business requirements we are planning to configure 4
(four) business areas.
This project we are rolling out from 01-Apr-2009 (Starting of new
fiscal year).
In this contxt request you to highlight the other areas that will get
affected and precautions to be taken.
Also after configuration of new business areas, "trail balance sheet"
has to be tallied.
Regards
JNRao

Hi,
Configuration of business areas won't create any problems to trial balances, but you can create statements for different business area level,
Business areas are not assigned to company code, so all company codes under your company can any of the business area's.
Make sure that filed status groups are maintained properly to use business area's for transaction posting.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Reg.Business area configuration

Dear All
Please find the below link where I have showed my problem.
Help me.

Thanks
Rajakumar

Dear Rajakumar
1) Go to ovf2 and see what rule you have maintained there.
2) If it is 1, go to ovf0 and maintain the business area to Plant and Division
3) If it is 2, go to ovf1 and maintain the Business Area by Sales Area
As I already said, you cannot enter Business Area manually in VA02. It will automatically fetch based on the control you defined as above.
thanks

Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
There are 2 options here now -
1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
or
2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
The advantages of using the second option is:
1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business Areas...
Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
You can define business area in
Path: Img-enterprise structure Definition--Financail Accounting --- Define Business area.
Same pathe: Assignment---Assign Business area to Consolidation business area.
Same Path: Logistics General --- Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area & Division
I hope this clears.

Implementing Business area in Live SAP environment

Hi
We are in 4.7. We want to implement Business area to all our of sites which are already in SAP. I would like to know expert opinion for this critical point.
1. How to include the Business area for the balances in the Inventory , AP and AR Balance sheet GL codes on the date of Golive with Business area configuration?
I tried to put the business area in the opening balance of an accounting document by using transaction FB02 and line item field COBL_GSBER but it is not allowing as the field is greyed out. I have already made this field as changeable field in the document line item control of the configuration.
Also please share the other factors to be considered to implement the BA in live environment.

How to default Business Area

How to default Business Area at line item entry to particular GL accounts
Satish
Points assured

hi,
for getting finer records u can have user exist programme which will give you finer reports as in other standard report u might face clearing account problem. but user exit can be defined at the miner level of details u required . this is generally used fr multilocation multi business area configuration to which u can also attach SECTION CODE and get those reports in same programme by assigning business place.
user exit is more useful becuse u might be using same chart of account for all the business area and it is not convinient to have business area at entry level or assigned at company code level, instead by using user exit u can assign it to user at specific business area.

Disadvantages of Using Business Area

Dear All
We have to define Plant Level Financial Statements. We intend to use the Business Area for generating Plant Level Financial Statements. What are the disadvantages of using Business Area for generating plant wise Financial Statements
Regards
Samir Bhansali

Hi,
Business Area functionality has its own advantages as against PCA. Yet, it has reconciliation problems because business areas are not linked to company codes in standard configuration. In double entry book keeping, there are chances, the debit of a single transaction goes to one business area and credit of the same transaction goes to another business area. This means your double entry is not complete in both Business Areas to reconcile with Company Code Financial Reports.
If you donu2019t have an effective PCA reporting, then Business Area is the tool. But many new projects implement PCA instead of Business Area configuration. But ultimately, this is a business process decision.

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
