Intercompany reconciliation by business area (ICR)

Dears,
Our consolidation process is based on business areas (one reporting entity in our consolidation tool corresponds to one business area in SAP).
Our target is to adapt SAP ICR to this configuration : currently, in transaction FBICS3, SAP is retrieving partner company code from trading partner code via field T001-RCOMP, we would like to retrieve it via specific tables.
We have not found any BADI for this. Shall we insert a custom user-exit for this ? Is there anyone here who is using ICR tool in this configuration?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Olivier,
There is no way to adjust the screen fields to use different field labels.
What you could do is implement BADI method MAP_COMPANY_IDS. That way you could specify your business areas as companies to be selected and the mapping logic would then translate this to the company ID. That way the corresponding open items would be selected and the company ID would be overwritten with the business area.
Alternatively you could add business area and partner business area to your ICR DB and implement BADI method CHANGE_DATA_TABLE and exchange the company ID with the business area and the partner ID with the partner business area there. In that scenario for data selection you would specify the actual company IDs but the data would be stored using the business area and partner business area.
Best regards,
Ralph

Business area, segment or profit center

I have following situation. My customer is a company which is situated all over the country. So, this 'parts' of the company are acting like companies inside a company. There is a need for producing balance sheet and P&L statement per this parts. Next topic is that this customer has a need for producing balance sheet and P&L statement per line of businesses.
My question is what to use. First idea was to create this 'parts' of company as a business areas and line of businesses to present as profit centers. My concern here is reconciliation between business areas and that now I have to include BA as an organizational element in the structure (every cost center belongs to BA, etc...). But I was reading about New GL and Segments and I came to an idea to use segment instead BA. But I can not find report, for ie. which should present AR or AP per Segment? Also, I don't know are segments sufficient for 'internal invoicing' which occurs in the company.
My question is, can this needs be fulfilled with segments + profit centers approach, or I must use BA.
Thank in advance!

Hello,
whether you use BA, profit center or segment, you have to carefully assess whether you activate or not the NewGL setting that requires FI documents to match (debet=credit) by segment, for example. If not activating, you can not easily guarantee that all line items are assigned to segement. If activating, there is a lot of spefication and testing to make sure that segment information is derived or entered.
Good luck,

ICR - Process 002 - Business Area

Hi Ralph,
how can I reconcile for business area in ICR Process 002?
In the standard table (FBICRC002A), there is not present field Business Area.
Can yuo help me?
Thank you so much.
Best regards
Giampaolo

Hello Rafael,
Here is some information about the "Standard Setup" for ICR. Depending on your individual requirements you may have to vary these settings:
Field Movement
Create a new field movement using transaction GCF1.
Receiver Table FBICRC002T
Sender Table ACCHD
Receiver Field Sender Table     Sender field
DOCDT             ACCIT_GLX        BLDAT
GSBER             ACCIT_GLX        GSBER
RACCT             ACCIT_GLX        ALTKT
RASSC             ACCIT_GLX        VBUND
REFNR             ACCIT_GLX        XBLNR
Note that this will result in the field XBLNR not being changeable any more. This is SL standard behaviour because this means that if you changed XBLNR in the original document you would not get an update of your SL copy of the document. If you want to be able to change XBLNR in the FI document you could leave sender field for REFNR blank and implement an exit populating the field with XBLNR when the document is first posted.
Posting Indicator
I recommend setting this to 3. You will have to build up the initial set of data at some point using GCU1N. And you also want new postings to be transferred.
Check independent of posting
NO! You should not set this indicator. This is only relevant if you set posting indicator to 2 and you have implemented e.g. validations.
Write line items
YES!!! You need line items as the basis for your reconciliation.
Required posting
NO! You should not set this flag.
Best regards,
Ralph

Posting intercompany items in FB01 (business area problem)

Hi guys,
Have you tried posting intercompany items in FB01?
My problem occured when i tried to post concur documents in FB01.
In line item1, i didn't enter a business area.
In line item2, i entered business area 0005.
I clicked simulation.
The business area in line item 1 is now populated with 0005.
When i debug the program, item 1's business area was populated because of OSS notes 566083.
I look for OSS notes that may solve this problem but i haven't found any.
I considered using the substitution exit that is called before simulation, but i'm afraid it might cause conflict in other modules!
Help.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
warm thanks,
navi

Hi Prabhu,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, i ikow I can manipulate the business area's value in a substitution exit.
But the problem is, the OSS note was called after the line item passed through the substitution exit.
Meaning the filling-up of the BA happens after the program executed the substitution exit.
It could have solved the problem if the substitution exit comes after the OSS note but its not the case, so I really can't use that exit.
I search for another exits that occurs when simulation was ticked, but there's none.
I asked my functional to ask SAP for OSS notes that may solve this problem and I am also conducting thorough investigation in my end.
Do you have any other idea regarding this problem?
Thanks again so much in advance.

Hi
it must be always Automatically Reconciliation in any solutions all Intercompany transactions " This is Cross-System"
●      Start reconciliation run automatically (required)
●      Check status of reconciliation run (optional)
●      Perform manual reconciliation (required)

Customer Open Items by segments or Business Area

Dear All
Good Morning
We would like to discuss one issue which may be other companies also facing related to New General Ledger. We book one vendor liabity which belong to two Business Area or Segment. Now we enter vendor line item only once and do not enter the business area in vendor line item. Document is posted and vendor line item is without business area. But if we see GL view document reconciliation account is splitted in two business area based on expense propotionate. which is correct but still our problem is that when we run the vendor report by business area this vendor line item will be shown without business area.
Can any one have a solution for this problem
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Ravi,
SAP will pick these invoices for payment according to vendor open items which are due according to payment terms.
When it comes to customer invoices, clearing depends on when customer pays payment to particular invoice, these customer invoices will get cleared.
I assume you are talking more closely to intercompany scenario (If it is not intercompany invoices clearing, you should not worry mostly about customer invoices clearing), where you want to clear vendor invoices and customer invoices. So you need to incorporate entry date in your functionality to pick intercompany invoices clearing.
Thanks much

Business area wise Transactions

Dear all,
My client has 3 business areas ; and the transaction are happening between the inter business transactions.
for Ex. business area 1 paid salary of a person for a person working in business area 2.
In this case in
Business Area 1. IF I see the Business Area 1 Balance Sheet I must get display receivable from Business area 2.
Business Area 2. It must show outstanding amount to Business area 1 .
Like this the list of the transaction happned between Business areas individually
Hope you understand the requirement.
I am useing Version 6.0.
Can you please help in this regard
B.S.Rao

Hello,
One approach is:
Create other company codes as vendors and customers.
Prepare different intercompany reconciliation accounts. Assign them to the customers and vendors (nothing but your other company codes)
Also make sure you have completed OBYA settings. (cross company code transactions)
Hope this will help you.

Ravi

Intercompany reconciliation -FBICS03 -Version field

Hi All,
We are not able view Version filed in T-Code FBICS03 in DEV System, Where as we are able to see it in the QUA sys.
What could be the reason.

ok, the SAP provides you with standard functionality for reconciliation. Depending on which release you are on, you could look at transaction FB2E, Else look at menu path SAP menu -> Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable -> Periodic Processing -> Closing -> Check/Count -> Cross-System Intercompany Reconciliation. The latter option requires some configuration and master data setup but the steps are clearly documented through Oss notes, just search for ICR*.
Hope this helps.

Business Area wise Vendor & Customer Line item report

Hi
We are on SAP ECC 6. Can I get Business Area wise Vendor & Customer Line item report (as like FBL1N)
Regards
Debojyoti

Hi,
In FBL1N in dynamic selections you can give the business area as the selection parameter otherwise after execution of report with the help of layout you can set filters for business area.
Go to FAGLB03 give the vendor or customer reconciliation account along with business area. So after you execute the report you can choose vendor code and business area.
Check once it may help you

Business Area postings in Tax line items

Hi Experts,
As we know that Business Area is not updated in the tax line items, In one our company code we have done BA adjustment through F.5D and F.5E in 2007, after that there are thousands of line items in the system without business areas, now my client wants a tallied business area trial balance from 2007 onwards or aleast to ensure that the tax line items should get business area assignments from hereafter, and also recently we have created one more company code, Please help how do I ensure that all the tax line items and items with blank business areas get the business area postings. Is there any user exit or any work around available for this... At present we have only one GL for Inter business area clearing for all types of accounts (reconciliation, tax accounts) in OBXM.
Please help...
Regards,
Khan

Hello,
Are NewGL and document splitting active in your system? If yes, you should solve this problem with using splitting function.
Otherwise, you can use business transaction event 00001120.
I explained step by step how can you activate BTE 00001120. I give you message below.
Re: FBCJ - Cash Journal Transaction
In this exit, you must update t_bsegsub-gsber field which t_bseg-buzid = 'T' for tax item.
But you can not split tax line items in this exit. For example in invoice you have 2 or more business area, but tax line item doesn't create for each buiness area (If you don't use document splitting functon). So in this exit you can only assign a business area to tax line item which is automatically generate while posting FI document.

Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

Hello Experts,
We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.
I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like
1. Creation of Business Area
2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)
3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)
4. Business Area by Sales Area
5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account
It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.
But
In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)
I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.
Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi,
I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.
The best you can do is:
1. Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line
or
2. You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account. This will then force the user update the BA. We use this option. This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.
Cheers.

How to key in the trading partner Business Area field in Vendor/Customer?

Hello, SAP pros,
I want to ask how to key in the trading partner business area for vendor / customer reconciliation account? We know we can set the default trading partner BA in the document header (Tcode: FB01). But according to our testing, such value in this field will be default to normal G/L account like bank, cash..., but not for the reconciliation account. And even we do not key in the value in the trading partner business area in the document header, we can not find a way to key in the trading partner business area directly in the document line item for Vendor / Customer line (even the posting key and the field status for the reconciliation account is set to optional / mandatory).
Any experts have idea?
many thanks,
daniel

Hi!
Ensure Your BP Currency is marked to EUR or All Currency
Add the OB for BP by keying Amount in FC curreny, if your BP currency is different from LC else Key in the Amount in LC currency.
If Exchange Rate is not updated for EUR means system will automatically pop the window. Give the Exchange Rate and Add the OB.
Now all the three Currencys LC,SC and FC will be updated for your BP.
