How to fill Functional Area on Appropriation request

Hi guys!
We faced a problem to fill standart field IMAK-FKBER (functional area) on Appropriation request. Despite the fact it exists in standart table, there are no standart ways to fill that field through IMA1N or IMA11.
However we assigned FA NG000001 to a Cost center 10000001 and defined that cost center in AR, but still after saving chnages no value changed in IMAK-FKBER?
Does anyone know which organisational units (company code, business area, functional location) effect on the value of functional area in IMAK table? Or is there other way to define FA for appropriation request?
Any help appreciated.

Hi Kir Zu,
I suspect this is an obsolete field, since it makes little sense to be derived from anything at all, while at the same time it is not on the screen.
SAP has a number of obsolete fields even in Customizing activities that allow an entry, but ignored by standard programs.
The best way to confirm it would be to look through ABAP code for AR data save.  You can try to populate it with a user exit, but it also makes little sense since the field is not visible.
Also look at the function that creates WBS-element/Order from IMA11, it is passing the master data values to respective WBS/Order and your ABAPer can see if Functional Area is passed or not.
Functional Area makes sense only for Account Assignment Objects used in Financial Accounting, while AR is not an account assignment object.

Paulo

  • 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

    Ajay,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Actually this is a requirement for our BW system. I checked all the records to find their OBJNR start with "OR", but we need to get the function area information. Do you know how can I get that?
    The link below listed all the fields we have on BW side, actually it has function area, but it returns blank, we tried to apply one OSS note in the source ECC system, but still no value returned for this field. So we have to find another way to get the function area.

  • IW31 how to set functional area as a default value?

    Dear all:
    Can anyone guide me, is any way to set "functional area" as a default value (t-code iw31 Additional Data -> Functional area)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello ,
    The standard funtionality is set to default the Functional Area from the Order Type.  I believe it is possible to change the default value for the Functional Area in Transaction KOT2. The PM order types should be selectable in this transaction.
    I hope this information has been helpful.

  • How to make Functional area to be mandotory in KS01

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to make the Functional area field in Transaction KS01,KS02, KS03 to be mandotory.
    are there any SPRO settings for that...?
    Or Is there any Exit ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Amruta

    Hi,
    There is no SPRO setting to make functional area mandatory.
    But you can use validation functionality to validate the master data before you save.
    This may Help

  • How to fetch Functional Area for FTE (Full Time Equivalent)

    Hi
    We have a report that needs to be developed--FTEs for each Functional Area.
    We are trying to fetch Functional Area from Employee's Master Cost Center. Our structure has Employee; Master Cost Center, Functional Area and FTE. However this structure is not showing any values. What is the way out. We are on BI-7.0 and we are using standard BI Objects [0Employee; 0Cost Center].
    Appreciate your suggestion.
    Regards
    Srinivas

    Hi
    I wish to provide more information to you.
    We are implementing Integrated Planning (BI 7.0).
    Even though Functional Area is a Navigational Attribute of Cost Center when I am trying to establish Characteristic Relationship between Cost Center and Functional Area. I am not seeing Functional Area for the Cost Center.
    I believe if we could establish the relationship we can fetch the relevant report from the layout.

  • IW31 how to set functional area as mandatory field?

    Hi,
    Can anyone guide me, is any way to set "functional area" as mandatory field (t-code iw31 Additional Data -> Functional area)? Thanks in advance.

    go to the config:
    SPRO:  PM & CS -> Maint. & Serv. Processing -> Maint. and Service Orders -> Define Field Selection  for Order Header Data (PM)
    ...Choose "Field Selection for order header data"
    ...toggle to change mode (use menu "field selection at the top left".  Then find your field (functional area CAUFVD-FUNC_AREA) and put the radio button to "required"
    This will make it mandatory for all order types.  If you want only specific order types, use the influencing fields to pick only certain order types.

  • How to fill overlapping areas in a polygon?

    I am creating a polygon animation from lotus shapes. The lotus shapes are crossing each other in circles, so sometimes the resulting polygon is overlapping itself. This causes the overlapped areas to not get painted at all. Look at this screenshot of the polygon to see what I mean:
    http://www.astralvisuals.com/polyLotus.jpg
    Here you can see that there are small black areas, where the lotus shapes intersect. It should be blue instead here. What can I do to get these overlapping areas painted?
    It says on the fillPolygon description:
    "The area inside the polygon is defined using an even-odd fill rule". Is it this rule that causes the overlapping areas to not get painted?

    fillColor works the same for paths or for text,
    to get to the text fillColor property use
    textRef.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor

  • Functional Area update in FAGLFLEXP table

    Hi
    We have activated Cost of sales accounting in ECC6 and defined the Functional Area in the Cost Center.
    When we do CO Planning using KP06, ths system is not updating COSP and FAGLFLEXP tables with functional area.
    Request to know if anyone knows how to populate functional area in these tables for CO Planning values.
    Thanks & Regards
    Manohar Bondili

    Hi Suraj
    Yes we have activated the Scenario of Functional Area.
    The FA is getting populated for the actual values but not for planned values.
    We do not enter FA in planning as it is supposed to be derived from Cost Center for which we are doing the planning.

  • Appropriation Request Flag - Ordinary/Extra-ordinary budget

    I want to identify which Appropriation Request will erode a budget of type ordinary or extra-ordinary. Instead of creating a separate level in my investment structure, I want to flag my Appropriation Request with a tag which I can identify in reports.
    Which transaction/component in SAP IM will let me do this?
    I have tried without luck with STRGTFLG.... Any help....
    Thanks,

    Do you want to use some of the standard fields available in the master data of the appropriation request like Appropriation Request Type?
    If none of the standard fields provided by SAP are suitable for User Fields can also be added. Attached screen shot will expalin what I meant.
    Please see this documentation Functions of the Appropriation Request Type - Investment Management (IM) - SAP Library especially the paragraph "Master Data".

  • HT4623 The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back to the main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on how to fix this - all software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no other updates are

    The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen.  Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this?  The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

    This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
    Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
