Hi Deepak
Business Area
Technical name: 0BUS_AREA
Technical Data
Available from Release
3.0D
Data element
GSBER
External hierarchy
Not available
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.

SEM-BCS how to make Consolidation Unit with Business Area

Hi all,
I am newbie in SEM-BCS and implementing BW-based BCS. Our situation is as follows.
Situation
- we have 7 companies worldwide and 4 different Business areas.
   Every company consists of at least two business areas in R/3.
- we have sales transaction in FI among companies.
requirement
- we need consolidated F/S in whole consolidation group and consolidated F/S in Business area level.
actually, we are planning to make the consolidation unit in company level.
Do we have to break down consolidation unit in business area? or just breakdown category solves our requirement?
If we have sales transaction even between business areas within certain company, do we have to make it in business area?

Following are the answer to your questions
Q:   What to do for using this cube in BCS?
A:    Add the business area to the cube. Generate the data basis and the business area gets added to all ODS/DSO , virtual cube.
Suggestion: To avoid deleting the Profit center cube, since you can reduce the complication.
Q:   Is it the problem about DATA BASIS Role?
A:   No. Assign the role of subassignment or consolidation unit as needed. If you are giving the role of consolidation unit to business area, you need to insert the char Partner business area also in the cube.
Q:   Is there some materials to solve this situation?
A:   Refer the matrix consolidation material in help.sap.com from BCS portion. As per SAP literature any relevant object can be made as second consolidation unit such as business area, functional area etc. Dont fear. Once you start it the issue will be resolved in few days.
Expected complication:
If you are going to make business area as subassignment then it is simple. But if you are making business area as Consolidation unit, go for partner business area in cube.
Ensure with your BI consultant that all BCS messages are addressed in BI infoobject for business area specifically.
Things can get complicated only if we allow for it get complicated. But you are doing great.. Keep posted.. Good luck.!!!..

Introducing Business Area for Management Consolidation

Our Business has been using Business Area for all management reporting purpose since SAP had been implemented some 15 yrs back in our organization. They do not want to use Profit Center for management consolidation purpose in SEM-BCS. Our Project Manager wants to go with one data basis with one cons area.
I have planned to remove all Profit center related characteristics (alloc cons Profit center, cons Profit center grp, cons profit center, Investee unit- profit center and Partner cons profit center) and introduce Business Area with Sub-assignment role. Under Breakdown category, I will create necessary sub-assignment from comp code GL transaction data to Business Area. I can do legal consolidation in the normal course and with sub-assignment and using breakdown category, I can derive Business Area based consolidation and also I can generate both legal and mgmt reports.
Whether my understanding of the data basis architecture is correct? Is it prudent to proceed further based on my understanding?
Dan & Eugene: I look forward for your feedback.
Thanks in Advance,
Tim

Dan: <i>For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.</i>
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: <i>As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.</i>
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.

Customisd err message at MIRO - Business area V/s company code validation

Hi experts,
We have simple validation for company code V/S Business area check in place ,
While doing MIRO system throws error for a particular company code and Business area
combination the set error message ( customized - Business are does not match with company code)
This validation has given as a sub node (step) of another consolidation trx. types against GL validation (that was in place earlier, thats why)
But when we do through F-02 (Journal entry ),F-43(vendor invoice), F-22(customer invoce) for the same combination system passes the entry !!!
what may be the cause ?
the error message is the standard one set -251 this message is custom created at Validation (GGB0)
Business area doesnt belongs to the company code
Message no. /ASU/GENERAL251
One more thing Noticed
The Material PO is a account assigned (K) cost center and the
cost center Business area is 1003.
In PO plant is 1003 and i checked the MSEG the plant shows 1003
But in Logistics assignment the Business area 1001 is tagged to Plant 1003
not THE BUSINESS AREA 1003 !! . I mean at plant/valuation area to Business ara configuration
the valuation area 1003 is assigned to Business are 1001 not to Busienss are 1003!!!

i checked all the settings in MM Automatic determination And G/L element, field variants, posting keys.. but everything configured profer settings..why particulat materail it shown error? how to resolve this error?

Hi Thiru,
A somewhat late aswer, but it might be helpfull for other users with the same problem. You can solve this problem by assigning the division/valuation area to the business area. Follow the path below to execute this:
SPRO - enterprise controlling - Consolidation - Integration: preparation for consolidation - Preparation in the sender system - Further settings for Business Area Consolidation - Materials Management - Assign Division/Valuation Area to Business area.
Under Enterprise structure - Assignment - Logistics General, you will find a similar function. First execute option 1 or 2 here and then execute option 3. This makes it work as well, exept that it will not be recorded in a proper transport. The first option I gave for assigning is properly transportable.

Consolidated Business Partner - AR Aging report by child partner

Hello,
I am using the consolidated Business Partner functionality with B1 and need help with Aging reports.
I have one "mother" account setup with 4 "baby" accounts underneath it.
I want to be able to run an aging report by "baby" account, but all I get is aging for the "mother".
Does anyone have a solution for this? I hope my question was clear.
Thank you for your help!
John

Hi John ,
There are two details :
1. When you see the report >> Dbl click on the row ,you will see the detail of that row
or Right click on row >> select customer receivable aging details
2. One is selection of PLD .
Once you run customer aging report , click print preview
It will ask you to choose the selection --
a>Receivable aging report
b> Detail Receivable aging report
C> Customer statement
Select Detail receivable aging report
Hope it helps

Intercompany reconciliation by business area (ICR)

Dears,
Our consolidation process is based on business areas (one reporting entity in our consolidation tool corresponds to one business area in SAP).
Our target is to adapt SAP ICR to this configuration : currently, in transaction FBICS3, SAP is retrieving partner company code from trading partner code via field T001-RCOMP, we would like to retrieve it via specific tables.
We have not found any BADI for this. Shall we insert a custom user-exit for this ? Is there anyone here who is using ICR tool in this configuration?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Olivier,
There is no way to adjust the screen fields to use different field labels.
What you could do is implement BADI method MAP_COMPANY_IDS. That way you could specify your business areas as companies to be selected and the mapping logic would then translate this to the company ID. That way the corresponding open items would be selected and the company ID would be overwritten with the business area.
Alternatively you could add business area and partner business area to your ICR DB and implement BADI method CHANGE_DATA_TABLE and exchange the company ID with the business area and the partner ID with the partner business area there. In that scenario for data selection you would specify the actual company IDs but the data would be stored using the business area and partner business area.
Best regards,
Ralph

Report painter- business area and Cost center

Hi All,
we have a requirement to create the Report painter report where in the Revenue will be By business area and cost of the particular cost center by Cost element.
i.e revenue by Business area against cost by department.
It it possible to use report painter to create such report?. when i was going through the report painter it does not allow me to pull the cost by department .
Best regards
Rajesh dhulipalla

Hi,
Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

Ravi
