Field rename in DB, how to refresh Business Area?

I'm the Discoverer Administrator and one of the underlying
tables in my database has has a field name change. How do
I "refresh" the table/folder in the business area I created? I
don't want to loose any customization I've done for that
table/folder. I have no joins on the renamed field.
Can you please reply back to my email as well as the forum?
Thanks. [email protected]

highlight the folder in the Admin edition and press Control+R.
This will refresh the folder and reflect that the old field name
is not available and show the addition of the new field.

How to Update Business Area Field in Posted Document?

Dear All,
Pls tell me how to update Business Area in documents which are posted without entering Business Area field. Pls tell me how to achieve this without using Validations & Substitutions. Any table entries can be maintained for this? Kindly guide.
Regards
Abhijeet

Hi,
I think, you need to post mannually if you have the list of documents posted with out business area.
ex:
1.Before posting of accounting entry as below, you should deactivate business area component in OB65 againest your co.code
2.Post accounting entry as below
40 123456 without business area 100
50 123456 with business area ABC 100
3. Goto T.Code: OB65 activate the business area component.
4. After posting of accounting entry like above you should run transaction F.5D and F.5E again, make sure that above entry not come again while executing F.5D.
First you can try this process in dev client, if you are comfort with this process then follow the same in quality and production.
Note: You can do this transactions in production client, only when there were no users working on the system.
all the best

How to make Business Area as the reqd file on the Account Assignment level

How to make Business Area field as the required field on the Account Assignment level?
Thanks!
Mrudula Patel

You will have to be a little more specific about account assignment. Not sure what kind of document you are concerned about.
For G/L accounts, the account assignment (Field Statu groups) is done in customizing under SPRO -> Finacial accounting -> Document -> Line Item -> Maintain Field Status Variant. The settings for the fields to be displayed can be maintained here.
You need to know the field status variant used for the account. This can be found in transaction FS00 under the create/bank/interest tab. You can also reach the maintenance transaction for the variant by double clicking on it.
Hope that helps!

Discoverer Report: How to find Business Area name from Report Name.

Hi
I opened a report in Disco Desktop 4 -> Resonsibiolity --> Report Name.
So I know Report name but don’t know which Business Area it belongs to.
How to find Business Area Name from Report Name?
Cheers
Vijay

Hi,
There is no relationship between reports and business areas. Each report can be built from many folders. Each folder can be in many business areas.
However you can try the following SQL which may give you the result you want for an v5 EUL. You will have to modify for Discoverer 4 EUL:
select distinct doc_name, obj.obj_name folder_name, bas.ba_name
from eul_us.eul5_documents doc
, eul_us.eul5_elem_xrefs xref
, eul_us.eul5_expressions exp
, eul_us.eul5_objs obj
, eul_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol
, eul_us.eul5_bas bas
where xref.ex_from_id = doc.doc_id
and doc.doc_name = &your_report
and xref.ex_to_id = exp.exp_id
and obj.obj_id = exp.it_obj_id
and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id

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.
Warm Regards

In Posted Document How to Update Business Area Field ?

Hello peers,
I am training to update Business area in some of my line items, for example when i have posted a doc in MIRO it has not updated in my TAX a/C's. Now i want to update the same. So i tried doing the F.5D and F.5E, but it's saying
Nothing was selected
Message no. FR333
In one of the threads i read in OB65 business area has to deactivate, then post, and then activate the same to do F.5D. but it is activated before posting the documents.
What should i do now. and what should i maintain in OBXM.
Please guide me to do the same. or suggest if any other way of doing it.
Thanks in advance
Murali

Dear Murali
Maintain a Clearing A/c under transaction GA0 e.g. Business Area Clearing A/c
Make sure you have activated Business Area FS in OB65
Then run F.5D and Post through F.5E B
However by doing this you will not be able to update the Business Area but it will pass an adjustment entry
Hope it Helps
Cheers

Urgent: Datatype change, cannot refresh business area

First time I've pulled the Urgent thing but I have a problem. We had a datatype change for an ID field and I cannot refresh the associated business area because it get the following error message after it analyses the differences. There are several areas where this field is referenced, but it is only showing me one. When I try to refresh I get the following:
"This item is used elsewhere, its datatype cannot be changed".
The item is used in several joins within this business area. If they are all changed when the business area refreshes, things should work fine. Any thoughts?

So in the database you changed the datatype for this ID field. This ID field I assume is a foreign key in other database tables. Where those tables updated also to the new datatype?

How to do business area adjustment

hi
Hi
I have posted different business areas for line items in some document.
Exp. Dr B.A1 -
1000
Cash Cr B.A2 -
1000
Like that
Here in the business area wise balance sheet and trail balance report, balances not tallied.
How to do this.
thank u
shusma

Hi Shusma,
If you don't use NEW-GL with balancing option you have to run report CALCULATE_BALANCE_SHEET_ADJUSTMENT (Trans. F.5D).
In addition you have to customize the system to enable Business Area balancing (trans. OB65).
Hope this answer your question.

How to pass BUSINESS AREA in structure EXTENSION1 in BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST

Dear All,
I'm doing one upload program with BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.
Here when I do Tax calculation, I need to pass the value for Business Area in the structure ACCOUNTTAX. But the field is not available.
Is there any way to pass Business Area (GSBER) value to the structure EXTENSION1?

Moreover I'm in pressure to complete this object. Please help me.

The business area is passed in the field BUS_AREA in the tables ACCOUNTGL, ACCOUNTRECEIVABLE and ACCOUNTPAYABLE.

Refreshing Business Area - "This item is used elsewhere"

We are preparing for an upgrade to Banner 8, and from the Discoverer side, I know one of the first tasks is to refresh the business areas in Discoverer Admin (10.1.2.2). In a test instance, I tried refreshing a couple separate folders in one of the most-used BA's; no problem.
When I tried to refresh the entire BA (about 300 folders), I looked through the results and didn't see anything unexpected. After I hit OK, though, it worked for a while then gave me an error box - "This item is used elsewhere, its datatype cannot be changed. Error refreshing the definition of the End User Layer." No indication of WHICH item, no option other than the "OK" button. When I accept OK, it doesn't appear that anything has been refreshed.
I would prefer not to refresh each folder individually (and, this is only one of many BA's). Can anyone give me a clue about what it's trying to tell me? For the most part, our BA's are self-contained, but there may be a case where we have a join across different BA's. If anyone has had experience with this issue, I'd appreciate anything you can share. It could be something totally unrelated to the Banner upgrade (the BA's aren't normally refreshed on a regular basis) - but I'm not sure what's the best way to track down the problem. My next plan is to refresh them in groups until I hit the one with the problem, but maybe someone has a better idea.
And a side question - is there any way to export or copy the list of items it generates - the one where you can examine and check/uncheck individual items before proceeding?
Thanks much,
Martha
Update - well, it wasn't Banner 8 related; more likely related to an earlier Banner upgrade where nobody refreshed the BA's. Normally their internal id (pidm) is numeric, but in one Banner-supplied view it's varchar. For whatever reason, the Discoverer folder had it defined as numeric. If I don't accept that change (changing datatype from numeric to varchar), it refreshes fine. Looks like the issue's been there for a while and hasn't caused us a problem yet. Still, any other input is welcome!

Thanks for the quick answers. Working in batches seems to be working for the most part.
I am running into one other thing that I'll throw out here and see if anyone else has seen it. On two of the BA's I'm trying to refresh, I'm getting an error "Internal EUL Error: No Transaction - there is no current transaction". This doesn't seem to be related to Banner 8 either - I get the same error on the same 2 BA's in our production environment. This is after I select "refresh", and before it comes back with the list of changes.
The documentation helpfully tells me...
BI-SVR-03228: Internal EUL Error: NoTransaction - there is no current transaction
Cause: An internal error has occurred in Discoverer. User might be able to continue working, but the current operation may not have been performed correctly.
Action: Record the steps and actions taken immediately before this error was reported and contact your customer support representative with the details.
I can't figure out anything that's different between the 2 BA's that get this error and the dozens that refresh successfully. I've tried closing & restarting Admin - same results.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

How to change business area on posted FI documents

Hi Friends,
There are documents got posted with a incorrect business area.
Background:
The issue is in one company code XXX, plant XXXX a non-sap location.
Users follow a separate process and generate a file and place on Unix.
There is a batch job that picks this file from the unix and post the documents in SAP (f-43 transaction).
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.
