    Hi,
    Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
    Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
    Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
    Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

  • Field Business Area in cost center cannot be changed

    Hello all,
    we would like to change the "Business Area FS" (OB65) field for our
    company code to required. But if we do that, we have issues with 2 of
    our cost centers (ks02, analysis period 01/01/10-12/31/10) that won't
    allow us to enter a business area.
    We get the following error message:
    NA KS134 Field change Business Area is not possible.
    Diagnosis: To ensure of existing data, you can only change object
    Business Area if no transaction data exists in the change period; that
    is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
    I have checked with our accounting and the cost center report does not
    have any data in actual nor budget.
    Somehow I figured out that we do have an entry in table CEKO for this
    cost center for 2010. (se16n). I did some further research and tried to
    test report RKPLNC18 to delete this entry. But I get the message:
    the deletion could not be carried out. The following plan/actual
    records are available...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Anne

    Hi
    You can change the business area in cost center by changing the Analysis period. If there's any data exsist it is not allow you to change the business area. If else block or eleate the cost center and create a new one ( even though this might not permitted if  data exsist in related to cost center.

  • Compounding Controlling areas and Cost Centers

    Hi,
    We have only one Controlling area value, say ZC11. I am looking at an InfoObject Master Data table for an InfoObject, and it seems that there are no differences in the records with the Controlling area and Cost Centers with those of blank Controlling areas and Cost Centers.
    Is it necesary to define the compounded InfoObject of the Controlling Area to the Cost Centers in this case? I understand that compounding is for use if there are many different Controlling Areas for the same Cost Centers.
    What would be the best approach on this?
    Thanks,
    RT

    Hi Bhanu,
    May I ask what would be the core change of the SAP InfoObject? I would think that modeling wise, it would be beneficial to not compound if there was just one Controlling area.
    I am actually uploading data and I am getting an error that lists the error "value Cost Center/Controlling Area/ Company code is not permitted for characteristics Company Code". I am sending only the value Cost Center but somehow it is looking for the Controlling Area. Should I be sending both the Controlling area and its correspdoning Cost Center?
    Thanks,
    RT

  • Change of Business Area to Cost Center (my first thread , please help)

    Hi Everybody i'm Charmaine Leena Martin freshly certified  FICO consultant , this is my first thread i'm posting, please help me with the same.
    A wrong business area has been assigned to a cost center and postings have taken place in the same.
    while using t-code KS02: change cost center , for rectifying the business area , i get the following error:
    "Field change business area is not possible (transaction data exists)"
    so i've created a new cost center and assigned it the right business
    and using t-code kb61 : i have posted the documents to the new cost center
    at that time system generates a co-document automatically:
    But the accounting document of which transfer postings have taken place still shows old business area and cost center
    Please let me know why is it so ,
    and what has to be done with the CO document that gets posted automatically
    and is there any other way out of changing the business area without creation of new cost center
    Moderator: Please, search before posting

    Hi Leena
    Welcome to SDN
    Do KB11N to post the cost back to the Wrong cost center
    Do an FI Posting again Dr the Correct new cost center and Cr the Old wrong cost center
    This will match both FI and CO

  • Can I add a New Folder to existing Business Area with Command Line?

    Hi,
    Can I add a New Folder to existing Business Area with Command Line in Discoverer (java or executable)? I am trying to do this with /load...
    /connect walkep_apps/walkep@smpdev1
    /load Visualizations /eul walkep_apps /user smp_naps_apps /object VISUAL_20K /capitalize /remove_prefix /insert_blanks
    /aggregate DETAIL /show_progress
    ... but this creates a new business area, "Visualizations 1", which is not what we want! We want to add the VISUAL_20K to the existing "Visualizations" business area. Many thanks in advance.

  • Change business are in cost center

    Hi
    How to change business are in the already created cost center ???? Pls advice
    Thanx

    Hi
    SAP note 62716 covers this process to change BA if data already exists:
    I have copied below in case you dont have access to notes:
    Symptom
    When you attempt to change the company code or the business area in the master record of the cost center, the system displays message KS020 or KS134 because dependent data already exists, or the system displays message KS021 because the change interval is not set to the year limits.
    Enhancement: As of Release 4.6C the report RKACOR06 is enhanced so that you can also change the master data from business processes (CO-ABC, Activity Based Costing) correspondingly.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    For actual postings, the company code is updated in the document. It is therefore not possible to change the company code of the participating account assignment (for example cost center) later on.
    The checks for dependent data, however, are carried out on year level. For this reason, it is not possible to change the company code or the business area during the fiscal year.
    Solution
    Using report RKACOR06, you can also make changes to the company code and the business area in the master record of the cost center during the fiscal year if the following requirements are met:
    1. The change interval is set to period limits
    2. There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
    3. There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
    If the system contains dependent planning data in a plan integrated version, any respective profit centers and extended general ledgers that exist must be restructured. For profit center accounting, you can use Transaction 1KE0 for this purpose.
    Caution! If you change the company code of a cost center, a reversal of a posting in a different period can no longer be carried out if the cost center is assigned to another company code in the reversal period.
    Report RKACOR06 is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.1I.
    For prior releases, you can download the report from the FTP server sapserv3 from the directory /general/R3server/abap/note.0062716.
    Report RKACOR06 does not generate any change pointers. Thus, if you want to send the change of cost centers via ALE, use Transaction BD16.
    If you cannot change the BA for some other reason, please provide details.
    Regards, Elaine

  • Assign Business Area to cost center

    HI Guru's
    i would like to assign the business area to existing cost center, which is having some posted entries.
    But system throws the below error message
    "For change Business area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
    Pls help me
    Rgds,

    Hi,
    You cannot change buisness area for a cost as this field is for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year by changing the validity period. Mean splitting the validity period provided there is no transaction data. The data in this field is always time-based.
    This is to for the consistency of data in SAP.
    Please also check out the following link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/51457143b511d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    However, I think you can use substitution rule to subtitute business area in document level for cost center. I am not sure whether this will work.
    Hope this helps.
    Please assign points as a way to say thanks.

  • Business area with SAP support in SAP OSS notes #

    Dear all,
    I would like to search OSS documentation which mention that SAP does not support business area anymore? anyone knows the exact OSS number for thatstatement ?
    Because as far as I remember, SAP does not recommend business area. SAP advised customer to use PCA or new GL instead.
    Thank you for your kind help.
    Kind regards,

    Check OSS Note 321190. Here is one section:
    To meet the changing requirements, we will focus the further
    functional developments in Financial Accounting on the profit
    center entity. With General Ledger Accounting (new) in Release SAP
    ERP 2004, you can create financial statements for profit centers.
    See Note 756146 for more detailed information.
    o The business area will be retained in the present form. The data
    and functions will continue to be available. In the context of the
    use of classic General Ledger Accounting, business area accounting
    (Customizing OB65 for business area financial statements, SAPF181
    and SAPF180) will continue to be supported to the known extent;
    only a further development in the context of classic General Ledger
    Accounting is not planned.

  • Change of Business Area in Cost Center

    Hi,
    We want to change the business area for the existing cost center from next fiscal year.
    Suppose i have a cost center 1001ADM with Business area 1000 and validity time is 01.04.2007 to 31.12.2999.
    Now i want to change the business area to 2000 for the existing cost center 1001ADM with effect from 01.04.2008.
    Regards
    Balaji

    Hi,
    Changing the business area is possible.  Go to KS02> Menus> Analysis period --> Give the new analysis period for which you want to change the field business area.
    Now give the new business area.  you will get a message changing this field will take time to check the dependent data.  Give 'Yes'.  It will check all the depending data and then change the field for the new analysis period.
    Good Luck!!!!!
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Using current dimmensions for new business areas with coarser granularity

    Hi,
    I have a time dimension which has month, quarter, semester and year attributes.
    I am creating a new business area in which each fact refers to a quarter (we have no monthly data). In this case I am considering two options:
    1) Using an attribute in the fact table that points to the quarter field in the dimension table (or creating a quarter code in the dimension table, and pointing to that code -there is already month-year code as primary key-).
    2) Creating a new dimension table with just quarter, semester and year.
    What should be best? Is there another option?
    Thanks for yout help.
    Fernando.

    Hi Sam,
    I am not sure wheher memory is really a serious constraint anymore. Consider this:
    a) the price of memory today is pretty much at the price point of hard disks in the year 2000 (at least according to a study I saw). In 2000 we happily ran business systems without being worried about the cost of hard disks ... and that is where we are today with RAM. Sure, disks also became much cheaper, as did flash memory, but the speed benefits of RAM are so superior that it is worth investing in it.
    b) there are already 1 TB RAM blades available, and I think there is now a 2 TB RAM blade on the market (I heard about Samsung having one, and others may have one too)
    c) we indeed routinely achieve compression factors of 10-20 x. It all depends much on how full the table field is, and how homogeneous the content. A field "Currency" compresses great, a field with a "UUID (Universally Unique Identifier)" does not.
    d) customers typically only want to access this and last year's business data (and keep the rest just for reference)
    So I think that it is quite possible to have the active business data even of the largest SAP customers completely in memory, at a reasonable price point. Sure, more expensive than disk ... but who cares about disk anymore (apart for backup)?
    Kind regards, Oliver
