Lost Business Areas

I'm having a problem with the business areas. I can create business areas with admin. and I've checked all of the Privleges and Security issues in Discoverer Admin. But when I log into the EUL with an ID that I have granted access to, I can't see any of the Business areas. If I create a business area with one of the IDs then I can see them when I log back in with the EUL owner.
Another person on our team has run into the same problem with his EUL on another Database.
We believe that we've exausted every possibility within Discoverer.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Nathan,
When you log in, are you not seeing the business areas or just not seeing the folders in the business areas ?
If it is the later, that could be that the users don't have select privileges on the underlying tables/views. It could also be that the folders contain calculated items using a PL/SQL function that the users do not have execute privileges on. Either one will hide individual folders.
If it is the former, this has always been a privilege issue in my experience. When you are in the end user edition and can't see business areas, go to Tools--> Options--> EUL and jot down the EUL that you are connected to.
Enter into the Admin edition as the owner of that EUL, open up the Business areas, and click on the security key on the toolbar, go to the appropriate end user and make sure that they have access to the business areas.
If they do, click on the lock on the toolbar, and under the Privileges tab, select the correct user and make sure that you have a least checked the box by user edition. By the way, you must always have that box checked, even if you have selected some of the others underneath it.
Send another message and let us know what happens and if we can help you further.

  • Folders in Business Area have lost their Owner

    I have several Business Areas that have folders which have lost their ‘Owner’. I need to update the Owner to ‘APPS’ in the business areas where the current owner is NULL. Can someone confirm that the only place I need to update the Owner for Discoverer Folders is ‘eul4_ojbs.obj_ext_owner’. Here is the SQL that I use to search for missing owners for folders from database tables:
    SELECT
    obj_id,
    obj_type,
    notm,
    obj_name,
    obj_ext_owner
    FROM
    eul_us.eul4_objs
    WHERE
    obj_id in (SELECT bol_obj_id
    FROM eul_us.eul4_ba_obj_links
    WHERE bol_ba_id IN
    (SELECT ba_id
    FROM eul_us.eul4_bas
    WHERE ba_name LIKE '%Budget%') )
    AND obj_type = 'SOBJ'
    AND obj_ext_owner IS NULL

    I opened a SR (5389569.992). The short answer to the cause of the problem is the EEX files provided as the Discoverer Upgrade file were all missing the Owner. In all the files that created folders there is an entry, ExternalObjectOwner="". This sets the owner in the folder to "". The fix is to create a script that replaces this string with ExternalObjectOwner="APPS" in all the EEX files in the folder. We had to hire a consultant to find this out.

  • Chaning business area in asset master

    Hi gurus,
    Can we change business area in asset master? is there any customizing or transaction?

    Hi,
    If you want to use the "Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units, in asset accounting under Master Data tab, please read the following SAP Notes:
    SAP Note 193233 - Changing organizational unit in asset master record
    SAP Note 162247 - Error AU133 or additional line item with transfer
    SAP Note 210278 - RW022 when changing organizational units
    Furthermore:
    Purpose:
    If we want to use Time-independent management of organization units, the system manages the  rganizational units 'business area' and 'cost center' (and thereby 'profit center') as not time dependent in the asset master records in this company code.
    Advantages:
    Any change to these organizational units during master data maintenance then automatically generates a transfer posting document.
    Disadvantages:
    If the indicator is not set, you have to create a new asset master record (only in case of business area change), and manually transfer the entire asset, when the business area changes.
    Points to be considered:
    1. This method will not change the asset number. However, it will not keep track of the transfers.
    2. If you set this indicator, and then change these organizational units in asset master data maintenance, the system replaces the business area and cost center (and profit center) in all existing time intervals by the new assignments.
    3. After that, it is no longer possible to report on these organizational units for past time periods in Asset Accounting! This applies even if you later remove the indicator!
    4. In short we will lost track of any type of past reporting on business area/Cost center.
    Recommendation:
    You should only change the standard setting when ALL of the following apply:
    1. You do not need a history of the time-dependent assignments of an asset to a business area or cost center.
    2. You create business area or profit center balance sheets.
    3. You expect to make frequent changes to the assignments to business areas or cost centers.
    Thanks

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory

  • Discoverer Report: How to find Business Area name from Report Name.

    Hi
    I opened a report in Disco Desktop 4 -> Resonsibiolity --> Report Name.
    So I know Report name but don’t know which Business Area it belongs to.
    How to find Business Area Name from Report Name?
    Cheers
    Vijay

    Hi,
    There is no relationship between reports and business areas. Each report can be built from many folders. Each folder can be in many business areas.
    However you can try the following SQL which may give you the result you want for an v5 EUL. You will have to modify for Discoverer 4 EUL:
    select distinct doc_name, obj.obj_name folder_name, bas.ba_name
    from eul_us.eul5_documents doc
    , eul_us.eul5_elem_xrefs xref
    , eul_us.eul5_expressions exp
    , eul_us.eul5_objs obj
    , eul_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol
    , eul_us.eul5_bas bas
    where xref.ex_from_id = doc.doc_id
    and doc.doc_name = &your_report
    and xref.ex_to_id = exp.exp_id
    and obj.obj_id = exp.it_obj_id
    and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
    and bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id

    Hi,
    1. In case of Business where payments are made centrally it is important to report
        Bank A/c Business area wise.
    2. However I have solved the problem by doing "Sustitution", and its working fine. The Business Area is getting updated against the Main Bank Account Line item.
    3. I am however getting one error while doing the upload in FF_5. The error occurs
       only if Business Area is a "required" field in Bank Account's "Field Status
       Group".
       Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-GSBER ; see next message.
       But if I make Business Area as an Optional Field I am not getting an error and
       also the posting is done to Main Bank Account.
    Is there anyother method by which this error can be corrected.
    I have assigned 2 points for your inputs. Can you help me to solve this error as well.

  • Automatic payment not specify by business area

    Hello,
    I am trying to run an automatic payment program for one vendor and the system splits the open items by Business area. But I donu2019t want that. I would like to aggregate line items in one, if my payment is just one.
    I've check my customization and in transaction FBZP, on selection "All Company codes" I donu2019t have the field "Separate Payments for each Business Area" selected.
    Do I need any other customization?
    Does anyone know some?
    Thank you very much for your attention.
    Regards.
    Rita

    Dear Rita,
    This is a Portuguese Forum. Please type according required Language.
    In order to check Business Area Payment go to FI12 and verify if you have some Business Place assigned for your Home Bank definitions. You can also check in F110 parameters tab if there is some B.P. assigned for.
    Verifique na FI12 se existe Local de negócio definido para o Banco Empresa. Verifique também se durante a execução da F110 foi atribuído na aba 'parâmetros'.

  • Business area wise Balance

    How can i get report of Vendor balance depending on business area?
    Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

    Hi,
    If you want to use a business area as selection and see a vendor balance; use report S_ALR_87012082 and in the dynamic selection enter the desired business area.
    You can acheive the same with FBL1N; but you would need to make a display variant which gives you the desired balance summary.
    Alternatively you can set up the vendor information system S_ALR_87012077; where you could set data up and view on different parameters.  You will, however, need to configure and also be aware that the info system will be populated thru a periodic job.

  • How to Define Workbook / Business Ares Security Correctly for new Users

    Hi All,
    Please could you help me understand the Security Model for Workbooks and business Areas as I believe I am very close to understanding it, but missing something important.
    Background Information:
    We are using the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger) to build our reports on. These are the steps I am taking to try and assign a new user & responsibility access to the existing report.
    1. I create the Report in Discoverer Desktop under the ‘General Ledger Responsibility’ logged in as myself – assume report name = ‘Report_1’.
    2. I create a new Responsibility in Oracle Apps called ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
    3. I create a new User in Oracle Apps called ‘Joe Bloggs’ and assign the responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the Joe.
    4. Logged in as myself in Discoverer Desktop, Responsibility ‘General Ledger’ I Share the Report (Report_1) to the new Responsibility I just created ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
    5. In Discoverer Administration, Security, I assign the new Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger).
    6. In Discoverer Administration I set privileges so that the Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ can do all tasks, query data, administer. .etc. etc..
    7. I therefore believe everything has been done and attempt to Login and run the report under Joe Bloggs, but am unable to retrieve any data.
    Help… what am I missing!
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Dear All,
    This has now been adjusted according to your recommendations but to no avail.
    Myself and Lance have ensured that this new responsibility has unlimited access to all the existing Business areas to eliminate joins within folders not being recognised, we have also ensured that the workbooks that have been created are shared with the correct responsibility.
    I have thoroughly tested this set up by logging in as this new responsibility within Disco. Client to try and retrieve data in a new Workbook, but even for the simplest of queries this fails.
    It seems that there may be a problem with the Responsibility linking to the EUL, could this be due to the new responsibility being created after the Current EUL was set up?
    Does anyone have any information or knowledge where this could happen?
    Regards
