Functional Area determination in MIRO postings

We are on ECC 5.0
We had A/P invoices were posted via MIRO where the account assignment was changed.
Right now we have:
-Functional areas defined in all cost center master records.
-Functional areas defined for a select group of balance sheet accounts.
-Configured a special PO type Z to allow POs to be created against balance sheet accounts
The scenario is this:
When the account assignment of a PO is changed during MIRO invoice entry, it seems as though the functional area is still being derived off of the original account assignment. So it posts it to the right cost center, wrong functional area.
Is there a way to have MIRO re-derive the functional area during invoice entry?
Also, when I tried to correct the issue through a manual journal entry via FB50, I received the error message: "
An entry in field Functional Area is not permitted for account 732000." Message no. F5394
Does anyone know what might cause this error message? I tried to change the field status group for that GL account by making functional area optional and tried the je again with the same error message.
Any idea how to correct the prior mispostings?
Thanks!

Hi,
i did nt understand what s functional area determination ! can you pls explain further. If you are talking about sales area then yes if the customer belongs to more than one sales area the system would give a pop up and you can select what you want.
you can also change later to the sales area required provided no subsequent processing of the sales order has taken place.

Functional Area populating in MIRO during simulation

Hello,
We are in ECC6.0 EHP4, we have a need to Populate "*Functional area*" into table BSEG, for which we have maintained this in PO, and through PO this comes on to MIRO screen, but when I do simulation, The simulation screen does not show "functional area" which in turn does not populate in BSEG, how can we have this value for the field "Functional area" be populated into BSEG, if I have to use an user exit, I need one that is a part if 'MIRO" and updates the BSEG table

Hi Satya,
functional area basically define in FI module as Financial Accounting Global Settings/Financial Accounting Definition/Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)
which is just Typical functional areas are Sales, Production, Marketing, Administration and Research & Development.
so its segregating business by it department as we created via below path:
Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)->Ledgers->Fields->Standard Fields->Functional Area for Cost of Sales Accounting->Define Functional Area

Functional Area Determination for Balance Sheet Accounts

Hi all,
We are on 4.7C and want to activate Functional Area updation on Vendor Invoices but when we go to FB60 and create manual Vendor Invoice the Field FKBER does not appear. We have made the FSG optional on the reconciliation account already.
We have tried updating FA, to another Balace Sheet account via GL posting and have succeeded.
Are we missing something, thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Mayank

Dear,
Functional ares are used for Cost Sales Accounting per functional area. It will only report the income-expense statement for the functional area.
Note: Balanace sheet accounts can not be mapped to functional are. This is standard behaviour.

Assign Functional area to Profit Center Distribution Cycle postings

Hi All,
I am using a NEW GL distribution cycle (Tran Code : FAGLGA35) for distributing balances in the Dummy Profit center to relevent Profit centers.
My Company is using Functional area for FIN STAT Ver and other reportings. When I run the profit center distribution cycle, it distirbutes the amounts but doesnot assign the Functional areas to the posting. Is there a way I can pass the functional area of the relevent postings of the accounts to the postings of each distribution postings.
Thanks
MKR

Dear MKR,
Thank you for using the SAP SDN Forums,
In this particular case, you could have a look at the following to
see if it helps you, but I have not tested this for your case
so it is not being offered as a definite solution:
You could look at using FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE which might be able to
help you to get the results that you want.
Due to the inheritance logic in allocation, if you set "transfer
field" option active for the field (T811I-INHER), the system copies
the sender value to the receiver if the receive value is not specified.
Please refer to SAP Help portal:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/40/e1510735f30baee10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
You can deactivate "transfer field" flag in customizing
and use BAdI : FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE to substitute the intended
functional area. (This BAdI is the "official" way to substitute any
field during allocation, rather than OBBH substitution.)
I hope this may be of some assistance in resolving the issue.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Financial Statement Structure(Functional Area)

Dear All,
Can anyone explain the usage of Functional Area when we Config the Financial Statement.
Regards,
Kris

Hello
Please check this out and assign points if useful
Definition
Account assignment characteristic that sorts operating expenses according to functions, for example:
Production
Administration
Sales
Research and development
Use
If you want to use cost of sales accounting, you have to use functional areas to sort your operating expenses.
You define your functional areas in Customizing under Financial Accounting ® Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company code® Cost of Sales Accounting ® Define Functional Area.
Use
You can enter the functional area in the master data of the following objects:
G/L account
Cost element
Cost center
Orders
Order type
Internal orders
Sales order for make-to-order production and requirements class
Maintenance, service, and QM order
Production order, product cost controller, and cost object hierarchy
WBS elements
Project profile and project definition
WBS element
Networks
Network type
Network header
Network activity
During posting, the system derives the functional area from the master data of the assigned objects. For more information, see Derivation of the Functional Area.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to enter the functional area in the master data of the specified objects, the Functional area field in master data has to be ready for input. For this to be the case, cost of sales accounting for your company codes must either be active for preparation or active.
You make the settings in Customizing under Financial Accounting ® Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company Code ® Cost of Sales Accounting ® Activate Cost of Sales Accounting for Preparation or Activate Cost of Sales Accounting.
The master data of some objects is not company code dependent, rather it is assigned to higher-level organizational units. In such cases, the functional area field is ready for input in all company codes of a client, provided that cost of sales accounting is active for preparation or active for at least one company code of the client.
In the following cases, the master data of an object is not company code-dependent:
Object
Assigned organizational unit
G/L account
Chart of accounts
Cost element
Chart of accounts
Cost center category
Client
Order type
Client
Features
You have the following options for entry of functional area in the master data of the specified objects:
Entry of functional area
You can enter the functional area provided that no postings exist for this object.
Change functional area
You can change a functional area that has already been entered as long as no postings exist.
Where postings already exist, it is no longer possible to change the functional area.
Postings that have already been made cannot be changed automatically. The functional area is derived only in the case of new postings.
Where it is absolutely necessary to change the functional area for existing postings, you can find instructions on how to perform the change in Note 115840.

Functional Area on FI Postings

Version ECC 6.0
What are the different places from where FI postings or CO postings can pickup the functional area from?
Few places that I can think of is from the cost center master, cost element master, manually given at the time of posting, set-up via substitution rules..
We have some postings going to incorrect functional area. Some of these postings are for cost center distributions but not going to the functional area used in distribution.

Hello :
In configuration, SAP collect all the place where we can set up functional area the same as your understanding:
SPRO> FI > FI Global settings> company code> cost of sales accounting>Functional area > enter functional area
FI : FS00
CO: ka01
CO: cost center categories
CO: Internal Order type
SPRO> FI > FI Global settings> company code> cost of sales accounting>Functional area > Enhance determination of functional area
Hope this help.

Postings in wrong Functional Area

Hi,
I have a complicated scenario, i have a service purchase order for a cost center C111 which as a Functional Area F101, during invoice i had changed the cost center to C222 and changed the Functional Area to F101, where the cost center C222 belongs to F202 functional area. The postings have done been and payments was made to the vendor. Now in cost center and profit center report with functional area shows wrong value meaning it should showed as cost center C222 and FA F202, but now the costing reports is incorrect with comibination of C222 and F202
Now how can i make correction postings, logically the amount should be posted to C222 with F202. I tried in manual reposting and several other options, but failed. We are in ECC 5.0.
Can somebody help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks

Function Area derive from cost center

Hi, here is a question.
The function area was input in the cost center master data. Cost center A ( Function area 1000), Cost center B (Function area 2000)
Then creat a PO with Account Assignment Category(K), Item Category (B), input the cost center A in the PO.
When I do MIRO, I change the cost center (A TO B), but the function is still 1000, not change to 2000. But if I delete the Function area in MIRO first, then change the cost center, the function area update to 2000.
There is no default function area in GL account and cost element, also no substitution.
Is it standard in SAP? I want the Function area can be updated with the cost center. Any method?

Here is what SAP help says about this.
Functional area field for postings - ready for input?
You can enter the functional area directly when entering G/L account postings, provided the "Functional area" field is shown in the field status group of the G/L account.
SAP recommends that you do not show the "Functional area" field in the field status group of the G/L account, but rather that you have the system determine the functional area of the account assignment. This eliminates the risk of the user entering incorrect functional areas.
You said you have functional area in cost center master data. When you post documents, do you get func. area from the cost center automatically or not?

How to post cost of goods sold to io per functional area and account determ

1. We create a sales order with reference to a revenue IO with functional area ABC01.
2. We create a delivery document on the sales order and goods issue XYZ.
3. We expect the cost of goods sold for the coal to hit an existing IO with functional area ABC02 based on account determination for XYZ.
4. Instead we see both the revenue and the COGS hitting the revenue IO on the Sales roder.
5. For now, the accountants responsible for those companies have been making journal entries all along to correct the postings.
Please advise what needs to be done for step 3 to happen so that the extra step 5 need not be done.
(IO - internal order)
Thanks,
Venkat

What is the IO you have assigned in the Sales Order please?
Just check the Sales Order - Account assignement, so that you can able to change if there is a different IO.
System won't pick up IO automayically until unless you secify in Sales order to done OKB9 settings.
Chek the above
Thanks

Not Standard Business Area determination

I need to determine Business Area acording to storage locations. I know that this solution is poor, but I cannot choose another way.
Storage loactions are already known during goods issue in delivery. So during, postings materials in delivery, Businness area should be determined/ changed. New business area must be updated also in related sales order, because from this document is taken into invoice and posting documents. What user exist should I use?
Maybe business area can be determined already during invoice creation? What do You think.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Gosia
I think you can influence Business Area determination during invoice creation:
Try Include LV60AA89 (Form VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN) in which you have the enhancement spot:
ENHANCEMENT-POINT VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN_01 SPOTS ES_SAPLV60A.
The include also uses Function module RV_BUSINESS_AREA_DETERMINE.
Work with an ABAPer ( if you are not one).
Let me know if it helps.

MIRO postings without PO, now have many open PO's how to close these PO's.

Hi Guru's,
Can you please support if there is a possibility to close old POs with GR postings only, using MIRO postings or are there any other solutions to close them. There are open GR/IR account open items to be cleared.
Thanks Carlo.

Hi,
If you want to check POs for which GR done & IV not done, you can use MR11 Trx.
If further Invoices are not going to happen. you can clear GR/IR value using this Trx. by posting po.
Thanks & Regards,
Anand.

No Functional Area Found Error while creating service data in me22n

Hello,
While creating service data for a purchase order in ME22n I am getting error like " No functional area found" .
Please tell me how to maintain the Functional area for a particular GL account
In the help i can found that we can find the functional area "The functional area can be determined either using the cost element, the account assignment object (such as the cost center or order)"
How we can determine this please through some light on this statement.
Thanks
Pradeep

locked by: Thomas Zloch on Oct 15, 2010 9:55 AM

Hello Madhav,
You have to maintain your 'business transaction profile' (SPRO->CRM->IC Web->Business Transaction->Define bus. trans. prof.) in the customizing and assign that profile to your IC WebClient profile (the one you assigned in the org. model)
In the business transaction profile you must make sure that at least one transaction type (e.g. ZSRV) is assigned as 'Dependent business transaction' and that entry is flagged as 'Service'.
Also make sure that that transaction type (ZSRV) has leading business transaction category 'Service process' (BUS2000116).
This should solve your problem!
Kind regards,
Joost

Vendor Payment has been done without doing MIRO Postings

Hi,
In the SAP system, Goods receipt has been done (MIGO) with respect to a Purchase order for the period of March 2009 fiscal year. Now FI user has made the direct payment to the vendor in April period of 2010 fiscal year for the qty. received without doing the Invoicing in the MIRO postings. Now there is a difference in the accounting entries as still the open invoice exists for the Purchase order even though the payment has been made in the SAP system. So, kindly suggest what can be done further to correct the accounting entries.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan

Hi
Please let me know hich will be the correct solution for the issuein the below given points for the problem stated in the message:
1. Doing the cancellation of Goods receipt documents and then marking the deletion of PO's.
OR
2. Running MR11 - GR/IR Clearence for the PO's for which GR done and IR not done.
OR
3. Doing cancellation of Vendor Payment and then doing MIRO for the PO's for which GR was done earlier.
I think all above are OK, it depends which one is the most acceptable one for your customer, for example if goods has already been receipted physically, then option 1 is not applicable.
I would like to say 3. might be the best way.
Thanks and regards,
Polly

FAGLL03 doesn't display functional areas

Dear All,
Whenever we run the FAGLL03- Display GL line item report, it's not displaying the functional area value for some line items (for some it displays), even though the original posted document shows the functional area value. I would appreciate if anyone provides solution for this issue.
Thanks in Advance........
Arun

Hi Arun,
Check if note 1151397 is applied. Then check point 52 of note 1070629.
The functional area is determined as in classic General Ledger
Accounting. That is, the functional area characteristic is not
determined until documents are saved.
By default, after activation of New General Ledger, the reports only
read the tables for New GL Accounting if the the indicator 'read
from Classical GL' is not set in table FAGL_ACTIVEC.
I hope this helps. I'm taking a guess here since I don't know your system.
Regards,
Lucas
