Giving rights of Business Area to Other Users

Hi,
I had created one Business area in user1. How do i give rights of this business area to other user so that the other user can able to use this business area in user edition.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Nichole,
Before assigning Business area to Plant/Division , check the DEFINE RULES BY SALES AREA.
Check which value is assigned in that configuration
Path: SPRO-->ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE--->ASSIGNMENT-->SALES & DISTRIBUTION-->BUSINESS AREA ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT-->DEFIN RULES BY SALES AREA
check this and revert
thanks

Hi:
Business area will not be supported by SAP in the future
The problem of splitting of account balance is more pertinent in case of tax accounts.
In month end procedures, there are big problem in reconciliation.
Not Efficient in Reporting.
SAP Recommends Profit Center Accounting instead of Business area
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Can't see business areas in Discoverer user edition

I have setup a business area and folders in admin edition. But when I go to user edition I don't get the list in available business areas. The folders are set to 'visible to user'. What could be the reason.
Thanks in advance.
Alok

Each user much have (security) access to the business area,
and have the 'user edition' privledge.
Both of these settings can be found in the Administration Edition
under the Tools menu.
While you're there, you can review the settings for the Query Governor
as well.

Extend the Material Code from One Business Area to other Business Area.

Dear All,
I have create some material codes in a business area XYZ with Storage Location AA11 in Company code ABC. There is another business area PQR with Storage Location BB22 in Company code ABC. How can I extend the Material Codes of the Business Area XYZ with Storage Location AA11 to Business Area PQR with Storage Location BB22 through LSMW.
I am waiting your reply.
Regards,
Hemang

To extend material masters you can use anyone of the SAP given import methods in LSMW.
But I am a bit confused with the terms you are using, what do you mean by business area? and a material master is not created per company, the company is not among the organisation levels.
Are you talking about plant and sales area?

SQL to retrieve business areas, users and their reports?

Hi,
I've been able to retrieve by sql, users and their reports or business areas and thier users, but I'm unable to retrieve business areas, users and reports in the same sql.
I've been looking in eul tables without success. I guess someone has already done that?
Thanks

Hello
The problem you have is that you are trying to mix objects that don't go together.
As you have already determined, you can have a script to query users who have access to business areas, and you can also have a script to query users who have access to or own reports. However there is no link between business areas and reports.
Discoverer reports are validated against folders, not business areas. If a report uses 2 folders and there are 10 business areas that contain those folders which business area do you think the report was written against? The answer is none of them. You just happened to have a business area open at the time the report was written but truthfully you could have used any of them. Therefore, if a user reopens a workbook that uses folders found in multiple business areas, Discoverer will default to the first business area by name that contains all of the folders used and that the user has been granted access to.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are

I'm trying to clear a (BSO, v 11.1.2.1) database, and it's failing with the following message:
Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are connected.
There are no other users connected first of all. Second of all, I've never had a database fail to clear just because other users were connected. Has anyone seen this before?

Validating Plant and Business Area

Hi,
We have given the following plant with business area, but the user could change the plant with other business area.
Plant: 1100, 1200
Business Area : 1100,1200
So we need to write a validation, could any one help me how to do validate both, so that if the user enter 1100 plant with 1200 Business area he should get a warning message.
Rgds,
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
The Validation can be applied both at the wbs & project level....
1. For Project Or wbs:
SPRO VIEW: Project systems --structures - operative structures- WBS-- maintain validation
click on the project or wbs as required.
Create a new validation & name it. create a step inside the rule... by clicking validation & step buttons available.
Now give the prerequisites You can give project profile , type & BA as prerequisities for your requirement by selecting the same from the table fields on the right of the screen
next for check --- select the plant field and give the value..as required for the BA.
for msg --- you have to create a msg type and maintain the number...here and save your validation.
For two BA you can have three steps maintained in the validation...
Assign this validation to your required project profile and tick the Auto validation button available in the profile.
Hope this helps you.

Oracle discoverer Administration - Business Areas

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the Oracle discoverer Administration edition for a user, but only with query/view rights on Business Areas ?.
The user should not be able do make changes , but only to view certain BA : eg : folder links, custom folder queries, properties etc.
Or is there another way of getting the information regarding the setup for a certain Business Area ?

Hi,
It depends what version of Discoverer you are using. If you are using a later version (10g) then you can give the user administration privilege but no privilege to change the EUL (e.g. format business area). Then when the user connects to Disco Administrator they get read only access to the EUL.
If you are using a previous version then you will have to either write a report off the EUL tables that gives them all the information they need (The Oracle provided EUL Definition Business gives most of this information), or implement your own read only constraints using database triggers.
Hope that helps,

hi
see the below link for config steps for business area.
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBUSI/FIBUSI.pdf
Business Area. The system posts costs and revenue according to the business area. The business area can be equivalent to the:
sales area (if the accounts are to be posted according to sales)
plant/division (if the accounts are to be posted according to products)
The business area is defined in Customizing for Sales.
o Business area. A unit in an enterprise, grouping product and market combinations as homogeneously as possible for the purpose of developing unified business policy.
o Financial Accounting (FI). A business area is an organizational unit within financial accounting which represents a separate area of operations or responsibilities within an organization. Financial accounting transactions can be allocated to a specific business area.

Problems using Role for Security to business area

I have a role set up with several users in it. User A and user B are both in this business area. When I grant access to a business area using this role, they are unable to see the business area in the user edition. If I specify User A to the business area they can see the business area. This does not seem to happen all of the time. Any solutions for this ?
Has anyone else come across it ?
Thanks
Dennis

You could try this- Tools -> Priviliges -> (Show Privilege for the ROLE not the USER), then see if "Desktop & Plus Privilege" is checked
I was just creating/removing EUL's in my test instance and the same thing happened to me.

Asset master business area change

I upload legacy assets using one business area now my user want to change the business area. I checked in asset master it is in display mode only. what i can do? with out creating any new asset and transfer the values.is there any way to update the business area in asset master.

there is a mass change option in the environment tab, you could have a look at that.
Have you looked at the config, to see which fields can be changed?
Also, I think you can change time dependant fields, which I presume business area would be part of.
What happens when you view the asset in AS02?

Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
There are 2 options here now -
1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
or
2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
The advantages of using the second option is:
1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business Areas...
Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
You can define business area in
Path: Img-enterprise structure Definition--Financail Accounting --- Define Business area.
Same pathe: Assignment---Assign Business area to Consolidation business area.
Same Path: Logistics General --- Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area & Division
I hope this clears.
