Functional area change at WBS level

Hi Experts,
I just want know the possibility of functional area change at WBS level.
If we assign Functional area at project level, can we change functional area of WBS?
if it is possible then is it possible to assign/change functional area of WBS after releasing the same?
Please update me.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh. J

Hi Surej,
FA in project is in Basic tab and FA in WBS is in Assignement tab. Both functional area for Project or WBSes could be different. All this functional area could be changed. However, please note if you changed the FA once the data is posted into the WBS, the system will give a warning message not to change the FA. This FA in master data is to ease data entry. The FA will be copied over to FA area field during data entry. In fact, you can change the FA during data entry.
Hope this explains your query.
Thanks.

Functional area change in KSU5

Hi All
We have another tricky requirement here.
In Cost center assessment, we use derive functional area tick to get FA derived on receiving cost objects (WBS ) based on their Fun Area.
But for specific sending FA we do not want to derive, we would like to keep the orignal FA in the receiving post also.
Example:
Cycle - Ticked with Derive FA.
Sending CTR
1. Value - 1000$ - Fun Area - 3000
2. Value - 1100$ - Fun Area - 3500
3. Value - 1500$ - Fun Area - 5000.
Now receiving Cost object say WBS - Fun Area 2500.
Now we use cycle with Derive Fun area tick and it post as below in normal std sap.
Receiver WBS ( FA 2500)
1. Allocation received - 1000$ FA - 2500
2. Allocatoin Received- 1100$ FA - 2500
3. Allocation Received - 1500$ FA - 2500.... Now for this 3rd line, requirement derive FA - 5000 ( Same as sending)
We can do this with allocation structure in cycle but we have around 400 Cycles and we need different allocation cost element per cycle. So in above example all the cost will be allocated using single cost element, so we cannot stamp FA in Secondary CE.
Any idea how we can handle, whether can we put any enhancement / USer exit, whether Substitution work ?
Thanks

Hi Aravind,
Try to define substitution for it in OKC9.

BUDGET LOGIC TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT WBS LEVEL WITH 10% TOLERANCE

Budget Logic check at each WBS level allowing 10% tolerance and the project level budget to remain constant
The project structure or the project hierarchy is not fixed. The requirement is that the released budget should be allowed 10% above the present released budget. Also despite this change the budget at the project level should remain constant. The 10% surplus has to be adjusted from the other WBS if they have spare budget and if thereu2019s no surplus budget in any WBS then the system should throw an error. Available budget has to be checked against the PR/ PO creation each time so ensure that Purchase is not made in excess to the budget allocated. Procurement happens thru MM/PS both
Please advice

You can activate Budget availibility control aginst Overall Budget / Released Budget.
Infact, Budget availability control functionality is designed at WBS level only.
All you need to do is create required Budget profile and assign the same to your project profile.

Functional Area

Dear Experts,
The Functional Area in the WBS Element --> Basic Data is disabled. Can anyone help me on how to enable the Field Functional Area.
Regards,
Shareeq

You have already checked following:
1. COS is active for Co Code
2. Influencing and modificable field settings for FA are correct in OPUK- meaning for your project profile, FA is an input or at least a display field.
Just check the following also:
1. Is FA appearing in other objects for this co cd such as Sales order, or service order or production order or maintenance order? This will make sure that COS is correctly activated or not.
2. Create a new project. Normally once COS is activated, even the closed projects get this field.
If the above two checks dont suggest any approach, my expereince suggests: please consult SAP notes.
Thanks,

FMAVC - excluding by functional area

How about FMAVC configuration to only have AVC activated for WBS elements? If I can create a derivation rule to include only Functional areas related to WBS elements using FMAVCderiao??? my user does not want to check budget for cost center or internal orders only WBS elements then later check on all other cost objects... PLEASE HELP... I may not be creating derivation rule correctly... I am not familiar with runnying the reconstruct transaction either... if anyone has documentation onFMAVC that would help also...and all transction involved.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Hey Ting,

Functional Area Issue

Hi All
I need to correct a functional area difference that has occurred in few of our GL accounts. Originally, some of our order numbers were set up to only allow posting to cost/profit center 123456. This was incorrect, so the order numbers were changed to allow posting to cost/profit center 456789. I reclassed the entries that had been posted to 123456, but the functional area changed. So now, I am out of balance between functional areas 65432 and 98765 and it is causing errors in some of the reports we run. Is there a way I might book an entry to zero out the functional areas affected? I have attached the GL activity for reference.
Regards
Pankaj

Hi
I tried debiting and crediting the same account with the same cost center but different functional areas. I believe even if the functional area is generally derived from the cost center a manual override will take a preference.I made all the accounts and cost centers the same, but I do not see an option where I can manually override what gets posted to the functional area.
Can you send me the screen shots to do the same?

FM area & Functional area

Hi
what is the exact use of Financial Management area and Function area in FI and Controlling
thanx in advance

Hello Aparna,
In the SAP System, you can define organizational units specific to your business, in each case from the specific viewpoint of the relevant application.
Example:
In the Financial Accounting application (FI), you can define organizational units from the accounting point of view.
In the Cash Budget Management application, you can define organizational units from the financial point of view.
Due to the high level of integration in the SAP System, you must link these organizational units across the applications, by assigning them to each other.
Financial Management Area
In Cash Budget Management, you will be working with financial management areas (FM areas) not company codes.
The FM area is the commercial organizational unit, within which cash budget management and financial budgeting are conducted. It structures the business as viewed from Cash Budget Management.
In order to take advantage of the integration in the SAP System, you must link your FM areas with organizational units in other applications. For example, if, when creating a financial accounting document, you assign it to, say, a commitment item, the system has to determine an FM area before it can transfer the data to Cash Budget Management. For this to happen, you must define how the relevant FM area is to be determined.
The FM area is determined from the company code. You assign FM areas to the company codes where you want to carry out cash budget management. One or more company codes can be assigned to an FM area.
============================================================
Functional areas-A functional area is a classification of financial transactions, providing information about overall purposes or objectives for each transaction. Similar activities are grouped by functional area, based on high-level objectives for providing major services or accomplishing regulatory responsibilities. Organizations may establish functional areas that are at a lower level than those required for external reporting. Functional area groups must then be used.
Example of functional area could be sales, R&D etc.
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Change in the functional area impact

The budget data was stored at a Cost Center level. The cost center was assigned to a Functional Area ahich was changed on a later date. The data for the cost centers that were migrated from the old to new functional area was locked. Any changes that i make to the cost centers impact the new Functional area.how do i proceed ? is it possible to erase the data stored in the previous functional area?

Thank you for your reply.
A bit more detailed explanation of the prob:
The General Marketing Budget data was stored in ECC at Cost Center level, on the 17th of January (using SAP transaction: KP06) At that time, all the General marketing Cost Centers (Gen Mkt CCu2019s) were assigned to the Functional Area H240.
By the 27th of Januaryu20192012, the functional area of some GenMkt CCu2019s was changed to the new GenMkt u2013 Product Manager functional area (Q240).
This mean that for the CCu2019s that migrated from H240 to Q240, budget data is u201Clockedu201D in H240 functional area. Weu2019ve tried to delete Budget planning for these cost centers (using transaction KP06) but data remains in H240. Any changes that we make for these CCu2019s (delete/overwrite), impact the new functional area (Q240).
How should we proceed? Is it possible to erase the General Marketing data stored in the 17th of January?

Can PIR created at wbs element and MRP area of storage location level

Hi,
I tried to create an planned independent requirement at MRP area and WBS element level, but failed. The MRP area is not plant level, but storage location level.
*When trying to create account assignment category Q for it, then there is an error message saying:*
**only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level.**
Does it mean it is not possible to create planned independent requirement for this case?
Thanks!

Select the "Issue storage location" as '2' here:
spro -> production -> material requirement planning -> mrp groups -> overall maintenance of mrp groups -> overview -> mrp control parameters at material level -> (field) Issue storage location selection
& make sure:
1. In the BOM issue storage location is blank for the components
2. For the FG products , in mrp area prod.storage loc is maintained
3. Components are extended to the mrp area.
Pl. revert with the results

How to change Functional area in cost center master

Dear Guru,
As required, i have to change the Functional area in cost center master data.
SAP Warning Message :
Transaction data exists; note long text
Note
A change of the functional area can lead to inconsistencies when reversing documents.
If documents are reversed after the functional area has been changed, in some cases,
the reversal document may be posted with the new functional area.
My question is how to change the new functional area to the old one after reversing documents.
We aren't using Special Purpose Ledger . Please Help me, thanks.

Hi
For the transactions already posted you will not be able to change the Functional Area. Also if those documents are getting reversed now after the change, the reversal document will get posted to the new Functional Area only.
For all those documents which gets reversed after the change, you need to pass FI journal entry by changing the Functional area in the journal entry and not in the Cost Center Master

Functional Area does not allow to change in CJ20N initially

We are on ECC 5.0 an have made fields Functional Area as required field along with other fields (e.g. Company code, Profit Center, Dates etc.) in Project Definition.
During project creation, all the required fields in Project Definition shows up for edit except the Functional Area. Functional Area field is greyed out. After I populate all the required fields, Functional Area fields shows up for edit before save.
Does anybody have encountered this problem? Your help is truely appreciated.

Hi Sanjaya,
Company code is a superior structure element and as such you need to define it first and than go ahead for selecting Functional area.
Due to this logic, first system prompts you to choose company code,profit center etc. and once the values are entered into the internal table for project structure and project controlling it provides option to choose lower level structural elements like Functional area.

Note 123383 You are changing a function group which does not belong to you

Applying note 123383. Got SSCR keys from SAP to modify the identified tables.
When trying to save changes, get error message "You are changing a function group which does not belong to you".
I changed Function Group ownership to myself, but still get error message.
Anyone have an idea how to resolve?

Just in case... did you do the following?
"If, when you are maintaining certain views, the error message DS138 'Changes prohibited by user ... ' or error message EU522 'Changes to ... are prohibited by ... ' is generated, remove the <b>editor lock</b> from programs L0GFNTOP and L0GFPTOP as described in Note 37900."
