FIN_GSBER scenario activation (business area)

Hello,
Please can you help me ? We decided to activate FIN_GSBER scenario (for business are), but we've done a lot of postings before activation. Now we want to see P/l and BS wise BA.Is some program exist to fix it? is there any t-code or program ?

Hi,
If the scenario is not assigned to the ledger then the fields will not be updated in the NewGL tables.
Once you have assigned the the scenarios to the ledger then for any new postings the field will be updated, but for postings that took place before you assigned the scenario the field will remain blank.
This is why we ask customers to complete their NewGL and document splitting customising, and to fully test it, before go-live, to avoid such issues. Please see the note 891144 for further information.
Unfortunately there is no standard transaction/tool for that, but maybe someone else in Forum can help sharing what they did in their companies to achieve the same.
I am really sorry that I do not have a more positive answer than that.
With my Best Regards,
Vanessa.

  • Activating Business area

    Hi,
    Is it possible to activate Business area balance sheet in mid of the fiscal year.
    Please reply.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    It is possible to activate business area balance sheet in midst of the financial area. You have to note the following points in this regards-
    1.Business area balance sheet will not be available for whole year as it is activated in midst.
    2.Any business area report will also be available from the creation date of business area only.
    3.If you are using many business area with specific user assigned to specific business area you can use user exits to have accurate posting & reporting for each business area.
    Warm Regards

  • Business area wise Trail balance is not showing balance

    Dear all ,
    I am facing problem in f.08.
    We have 5 company code ,8 Business area, We have Activated Business area wise Balance sheet in OBY6.and assigned Plant division and Valuation area .
    I am activated document splitting, Here also i maintained Business area and Profit center is mandatory field.
    when i saw the  business area trial balance gl balance is not showing its giving error" no list generated."
    Kindly suggest me what is the setting we missed.
    Thanks and Advance.
    Girish.

    Hello,
    I think, you did not set "Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers" customizing on SPRO.
    Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers.
    You must define FIN_GSBER to scenarios for ledger "0L".
    Then system fills business area on table FAGLFLEXT.
    But unfortunately can not correct older data.

  • New GL vs Business Areas

    Hi
    We are currently on version 4.7c and have not activated business areas. There is a requirement from our Finance users to activate Business Areas now since some statutory reporting requires us to generate Locationwise Trial Balance in system. At present without business areas, we can only generate Company Level Trial Balance. We cannot use Profit Centre Accounting as we have not mapped Profit Centres to locations but they are mapped to the various brands that we have.
    A lot of FI consultants have told us that we will be able to generate a location-wise TB using the NEW GL functionality in ECC 6.0 - can any of you give your views on whether we will be able to achieve this functionality with New GL without needing to activate Business Areas.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi
    General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New) 
    The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture of external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate.
    Beyond fulfilling the legal requirements, General Ledger Accounting also fulfills other requirements for modern accounting:
    - Parallel Accounting
    General Ledger Accounting allows you to perform parallel accounting by managing several parallel ledgers for different accounting principles.
    - Integration of Legal and Management Reporting
    In General Ledger Accounting, you can perform internal management reporting in parallel with legal reporting. For this purpose, the Profit Center Accounting functions are integrated with General Ledger Accounting. Furthermore, you can generate financial statements for any dimension (such as profit center).
    - Segment Reporting
    General Ledger Accounting supports the segment reports required by the accounting principles IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Segment dimension.
    - Cost of Sales Accounting
    You can perform cost of sales accounting in General Ledger Accounting. For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Functional Area dimension.
    Features
    General Ledger Accounting comprises the following functions for entering and evaluating posting data:
    - Choice between group level or company level
    - Automatic and simultaneous posting of all subledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
    - Simultaneous updating of the parallel general ledgers and of the cost accounting areas
    - Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current posting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different balance sheet versions, and additional analyses.
    In this way, General Ledger Accounting automatically serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the central and up-to-date component for reporting. Individual transactions can be checked at any time in real time by displaying the original documents, line items, and monthly debits and credits at various levels such as:
    - Account information
    - Journals
    - Totals/transaction figures
    - Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
    However, SAP still offers to choose between the New GL and the old Classic GL way of accounting.
    There are certain limitations in the new GL and clients are adopting to the new gl concept.
    New GL  configs
    If you are having multiple company codes in US / Europe - using multiple ledgers (leading and non leading) will be very helpful for reporting purposes like US GAAP / IAS / regulatory requirements of Europe etc.
    Once you activate the New GL - a new nodes will be populated in SPRO. In the New GL configuration you can configure the ledgers etc.
    Further, is it a new implementation or migrating to higher version from an existing version of SAP. If you are migrating from an exisitng SAP system - the process to be adopted will be different.
    I am summarizing a few points on New GL:
    1. New GL needs to be activated in IMG.
    2. When Client chooses to implement New GL and if it activated new IMG and transactions are added to the menu path.
    3. New GL has to be implemented for all Company Codes in an environment. It cannot be implemented for specific Company Codes.
    4. Segments are a new concept in my SAP ERP. Segment and Partner Segment are created.
    5. It is a unified world u2013 all the ledgers are at one place. In the classic system u2013 normal Ledger for GL, COGS, PCA Ledger SL etc are all separate.
    6. Scenario: Term used with my SAP ERP 2004: identifies the fields that are updated. Eg. Profit Center Scenario.
    7. If the New GL is activated u2013 Programs SAPF180 and SAPF181 are no longer there.
    8. There is scope to use both old and the new GL. In such case all the Transactions will be available in the menu bar.
    9. Summary Table: FAGLFLEXT.
    10. Classic GL (GLT0) >> New GL activation (FAGL_ACTIVATION)
    11. One version of the truth is stored in GL (Same valuation, No inconsistency, No reconciliation)
    12. Supports different reporting purposes: (Legal reporting, Segment Reporting, Management Reporting).
    13. Multi Dimensional analysis u2013 Account analysis, Drill down reporting etc.
    14. Option to add Industry specific / Customer defined fields.
    15. Meets International requirements. Supports simple cost accounting via distribution and assessment in GL.
    16. Assignment to leading ledger:
    FIN_CCA (Cost Center Update)
    FIN_CONS (Preparation for Consolidation)
    FIN_GSBER (Business Area Update).
    FIN_PCA (Profit Center Update)
    FIN_SEGM (Update of Segment)
    FIN_UKV (Cost of Sales Accounting)
    One Ledger is assigned the role of Leading Ledger and all Company Codes are automatically assigned to this Ledger. Group Accounting is mapped to this Ledger. Asset accounting and Controlling are posted to leading ledger.
    Additional Ledgers are created for parallel reporting. Additional local currency to non leading ledger. Alternate fiscal year variants can be assigned. Assignment of scenarios.
    Data Structures for New GL:
    Document Header: BKPF
    Affecting Leading Ledger: BSEG.
    Affect only additional ledgers: BSEG_ADD.
    Open Items remain unchanged. BSIK, BSIS, BSID, BSAK, BSAS, BSAD
    Totals Table GLT0 is omitted.
    Split Line Items/ Split Totals FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT
    New Tables are FAGLFLEXA/FAGLFLEXT. Existing documents in BKPF/BSEG are used as basis for new Tables. During migration, document splitting is carried out according to Customizing.
    Initially during migration no data will get posted to BSED_ADD.

  • Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

    Hi,
    We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
    In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
    The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
    Please suggest.

    Hi,
    Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
    As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
    Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
    If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
    Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
    Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
    The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
    Please let us know the reason..

  • FF67-Business Area Automatic Derivation

    Dear Experts,
    We have activated Business Area wise balance sheet. Kindly let me know if  there is any possibilities of deriving Business Area automatically in FF67 from the Payment Document no entered in "Bank Reference.
    Thanks !

    Hi Manya,
    I am not clear about your Question..in BRS-FF67, if you are using post with clearing for posting Area 2 and interpretation algorithm, then system will itself look for the Business Area in the posted document of either incoming/Outgoing Document and that Business Area would get derived for Main Bank Account posting based on Document Splitting Principles.
    But in case you want to achieve what you have stated for valid reasons that you may have, use User EXIT in Substitution and write your logic for derivation in the Exit.

  • Business Area not determined in  batch posting.

    Dear SAP experts,
    My client is on 4.6c system.  Till now they were not using business area.  Recently we have activated business area balance sheet.  While posting FI document manually using FB01, business area derivation happens correctly on vendor/customer/balance sheet line items.  However, when same document is posted via bdc session, business area derivation is not happening.  I also tried to manually simulate bdc session.  Still no derivation happened.  Any suggestion/solution will be highly appreciated.
    Unit.

    Hi Jayesh,
    How system is deriving business area in case of vendor/customer when you are doing FB01. Means its through some substitution rule or some default value.

  • Business Area - greyed out

    Hi!
    One particular activity was set DLFL and in the Activity- assignment field it is asking for Business Area. The field has greyed out. It is not allowing to remove the deletion flag either.Your help in this regard shall be appreciated. I tried with CJ02,CJ07 or CJ12. No use...
    MRD

    hi,
    see oss note 517253
    You have subsequently activated business area balance sheets for a company code that is relevant in the network/WBS element. If there are already actual costs for the network, network activity or WBS element, the business area is then no longer ready for input. In the detail screen of the assignment data, the system generates an error message in the case of an initial business area, although the corresponding field is not ready for input.
    SAP does not recommend you to subsequently change the business area in an object (network, network activity, WBS element) that has actual costs.
    It is the case, for example, that CO documents written before the subsequent change do not contain the business area and therefore deviate from future documents with business area.
    During the subsequent implementation of the business area balance sheet, the correct procedure is to close existing networks and projects posted to without business area and to create new networks and projects with business area to which the future postings are made.
    Now the business area is still maintainable once for networks, network activities or WBS elements that are already posted with actual costs. This is then set to 'No longer changeable' immediately after the entry of the business area.
    1. The corrections of Notes 507457 and 514782 are a prerequisite.
    2. Implement the attached program corrections.

  • Activate usage of Business Area

    Hi everyone,
    I have a request concerning the usage of business areas. Accounting would like to introduce business areas for use with an already productive company code. Can you give me any hints what to pay attention to when activating business areas in an already productive landscape?
    Thanks for your input!
    Best regards,
    Martin

    Hi, Judith.
    I think we'll have some problem if using Personnel Area here. Because one PA must point to only one Company Code, but here what I need is a set of codes which is company code crossed.  For an instance, like mentioned above, headquater HR manager and branch plant HR manager they are both in Management Area, but the former belongs to company code 1000(General Company)  and the latter belongs to company code 2001(Branch Plant).
    So I think here Business Area is the best choice we got. But here comes another question that is: if FI/CO team does not adopt BA yet, who should be responsible to maitain BA codes into SAP system? FI/CO team or HR team?
