Financial statement by business area

hi,
Has anyone encountered implementation of running balance sheet by business area and it only balances at company level but not at business area level? What are the likely causes and rectifications?
I noticed we cannot post a reclassifcation entry where we debit from BA1 and credit to BA2 as the balance sheet adjustment posting will balance it.
Thanks.

Hi,
The objective of business area is to get the financial statements for internal reporting purpose. So at the business area wise it has to balance the line items, other wise it cant be called as balance sheet.
The objective of company code is repoting to the external authorities i.e in India as per the comapanies act 1956 all the registered companies must submit the financial statements. The company code level financial statement includes the transactions posted at the business area level also.
For the internal reporting you can use either business area or profit center.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ashok,
It is not possible to derive business area wise tax line items. As per SAP standard business area never pass to tax line items while posting the journals ,if there is no document splitting activated wrt business area and no enhancments to fetch business area.
You can achieve the same ,if you implement splitting business area level or else enhancment.

Accounts receivable on Business Area level

Hi,
Is there a way to report accounts receivable on Business Area level?
I want to use the InfoCube 0FIAR_C02 for reporting transactional A/R data - the customer has 1 company code and below this 7 business areas on which receivable reporting should be realized.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Alexander,
Its very easy to do on the line item cube/DSO. You need to customize the datasource 0FI_AR_4. Its a very simple activity because the field GSBER (Business Area) is already there AR line item tables so you dont need to write a routine to puplulate this field.
Just go to RSA6, double click on 0FI_AR_4 and then open the extraction strucutre by double clicking on it. Click on 'Append Structure'. Add the field GSBER there and save and activate the structure. Go back to RSA6 and unhide this field if its hidden. Check this DS in RSA3 if it's populating the correct values.
Now on the BI side just add this characteristic (0BUS_AREA) in your infoprovider and the remaining data flow (Transformations/update rules/transfer rules etc).
Hope this will help. Thanks.

Tax line itmes post at Business Area level

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me how to post input and output tax line items at Business Areal Level.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
An organization can not assign bank, equity or tax information to business area directly, so you can't create legally required financial statements or tax reports using only business area.
Here is what I found in the link below. I am sure this will for sure help you. Please refer to page 49 for your question.

Upload Manual bank statement with business area

Hi Gurus,
Business area is required field. While uploading manual bank statement through ff67, how can system identify the correct business area? Is there any option in which we dont have to enter business area manually while uploading?
Please revert.
Thank You

Hi,
The copy paste does not work in FF67. Only first column gets copied and then you have to copy paste column wise. This is limitation is SAP standard transaction and is not modifiable.
LSMW will not help much as the records to be uploaded in the same statement and paage down can not be handled in LSMW.
Your ABAPer need to record the transaction in SHDB and the can create a custom program to upload the excel using that recording. This is easy for programming point of view.

Business area and Sales organisation

Can any 1 of u tell me the difference btw Business area and Sales organisation

Dear Venkata Krishnan
Business areas are primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes, covering the company's main areas of operation (product lines, branches).
You can assign all balance sheet items, such as fixed assets, receivables, payables, and material stock, as well as the entire P&L statement directly to business areas. You can only assign banks, equity, and taxes manually to business areas indirectly. For this reason, it is not possible to create the legally-required financial statements and tax reports at business area level. Financial statements at business area level are therefore only suitable for internal reporting.
Sales Organisation is an organizational unit subdividing an enterprise according to the requirements of Sales. It is responsible for selling materials and services.
A sales organization can be subdivided into several distribution chains which determine the responsibility for a distribution channel.
Several divisions can be assigned to a sales organization which is responsible for the materials or services provided.
A sales area determines the distribution channel used by a sales organization to sell a divisionu2019s products.

Hello,
I want to discuss with you about Business area so let is go:
Business areas are primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes
So from this sentences it is mean that you can assign more than one company code to one business area and there is another thing, that Business is defined on the Client Level not on the Company Code level.
There is another useful task from Business are that you can create Financial statement on the Business area level BUT
Financial statements at business area level are therefore only suitable for internal reporting
To be able to create financial statements, the data has to be updated in the general ledger transaction figures
I hope that it will help,
Regards

Dear Nilesh,
Please let me know you are in which version of SAP?
This is one of the common requirements, by clients.
In order to generate BS and P&L at business area level you should carry out the following:
1. " Enable BA balance sheet" needs to be checked under Financial Accounting Global Settings.
2. Check the Transaction Code OBXM and do nessesary configrations for clearing and reconcilation GL account postings.
3. Execute Programmes.

Difference of balance in balance sheet report & Business area wise report

Dear Group Members!!
In my company user wants to generate Business are wise Report
Difference of balance in balance sheet report & Business area wise report from same t code
Balances are different if enter business area, & if I execute the report with out entering any business area. Transaction code S_ALR_87012284 - Balance Sheet / Profit and Loss Statement.
The difference amount to be considered as data entry made with out using business area?
How do I rectify this?
Your comment will be helpful for me
Shamulheq

Hi Shamulheq
While working with business area you must first recognize that they are not company code dependent and can be used cross-company. Also depending on the SAP release you are working with postings to Business Area may not 100% guarantee, since there are cases where rules or standard SAP is not available and line items posted will be carried out without BA. For SAP releases not using the NEW GL, the setting up of adjustments accounts and monthly execution of adjustment programs would provide the vehicle to relate and adjust any missing BA at B/S and P/L level. If you are using NEW GL the document splitting would help to set the rules where every single line item would get a business area.
I assume that you are using the classic GL. The execution of T code S_ALR_87012284 - Balance Sheet / Profit and Loss Statement without business area retrieves all posting entered for any given company code regardless the account was posted with or without business area, this can be clearly displayed when you select the radio button for Classic Navigation. If you filter by Business Area, then the report will isolate the output data accordingly (The balances should be smaller). When using the classic GL you have to make sure that the financial statement version you use to execute the report, includes that the technical (Adjustment accout) account(s) that is used for the adjustment programs, so the correction to buisness areas is also included.
In conlcusion I think you have to make all this considerations, in order to better understand where the differences come from.
Hope this helps.

Business area wise reports

Hi All,
I am doing rollout in SAP 4.7 version. My client have location in 3 different countries they want to go for business area to get balance sheet for each country as they want only one company code and these location are treated as branch office. Is it possible to get Balance sheet business area wise.
If yes can you tell me the configuration steps for the same.
Regards,
Arvind

Hi Aravindh,
If your client wants to maintain Countries at Business Area level, It would be difficult to draw the balencse sheets for the purpose of external reporting to full fill the specific/differenet leagl requirements of relavant contrys. At Business Area level you can draw the financial statements for internal purpose.

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
