Mandatory field 'Business Area" in MIRO transaction

Dear All,
We are facing problem in MIRO transaction, while doing MIRO business area field is mandatory so we are not able to check our one substitution for Business area.
Request you to help us to remove mandatory field "Business area" from MIRO transaction.
Thanks,
Shree

Hi
Since the tick is appearing in this field, either the field status group (at posting level or GL level) should have been made mandatory. Can you please check the relevant FSG for the reconciliation account involved for that vendor.
Also since you want this field as optional only for testing purpose, i have a alternative suggestion.
Say, If your substitution is suppose to replace this field with business area A, then enter business area B there and check whether the substituition is replacing this with A again.

Issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi Gurus...
I have facing an issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled
I have maintained material management small difference account (DIF), to post the small differences... between PO value and (vendor) Invoice Value....
At the time of posting invoice system giving this error... even after maintaining the business area and profit center in MIRO transaction...
Here we have activated Document splitting in FI, also Business Area & Profit Center are mandatory fields..
Pls give some inputs in fixing this issue..
Thanks in advance....
Regards
Shashidhar..

Hi
There could be multiple reasons for this. Pls check on:
1. For the Expense Account assigned in DIF, have u made the assignment for deriving Profit Center & Business Area in T Code OKB9
2. Ask your FI Consultant to check the Splitting Characteristics for the MIGO. Check the Splitting Characteristics assigned to the Accounting Document Type assigned to T Code MIGO. Also check if all the GL Accounts have been assigned a splitting characteritics. The path is:
IMG> Financial Accounting(New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting
3. Do you maintain profit center as a default in material Master? If yes, check if the same has been assigned in the view extended for the plant concerned?
Pls check the settings. If any doubt, revert back.
Thanks & Best Regards

Field Business Area is a required field for GL account - urgent

Hi all,
we had created a new plant 3800. During configurations , business users created material for 3800 on 3000 and started purchase. Now after configurations, those materials had to be extended on plant 3800. Material have been extended but when the stock is transfered from 3000 to 3800 via MB1B , system says "
Field Business Area is a required field for GL account ICI 2201001".
Any idea that why this error comes? I have checked every thing, cudnt sought out.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Aisha Ishrat
ICI Pakistan Ltd.

Hi
When you are transferring the material from one plant to other plant using mvt type 301 or 303/305 etc.,
there is a field selection variation between the mvt type and G/L account which was triggered for this Transaction.For mvt type 301, the filed Business area is not mandatory and for G/L account 2201001 the feild is mandatory.
You can resolve this by changing one of the field selection group, i.e. either MVt type or G/L account.to do this follow the procedure.
1.Go to SE38
2.Type program RM07CUFA
3.Execute the program
4.It will ask for Mvt type nad G/L account number, give the details and execute
5.System will display the difference between the two filed selection groups.
6.From the same screen , you can change the fileds option by selecting the error log.

Business Area in MIRO

Hi,
In MIRO transaction, Headers - Detail Tab, there is Business Area field.
Currently in our system the field displays blank value.
We have the requirement to be able to identify each invoice belongs to which Business Area. However we don't want a manual entry of this field during MIRO transaction. We need the value to be defaulted from either vendor master or purchase order. However I have search for business area in both vendor master and purchase order but I couldn't found it.
The questions we have are:
1. Is there a way to automatically default the business area in MIRO?
2. If it is possible, where to set the default value?
Fyi, we are on R3 4.7
Thanks a lot in advance.
Dahlia

Our system already had business area link to each plant.
However I don't think the business area value is defaulted from plant as a plant can be link to multiple business areas. Based on a plant, how do system determined which business area to be pulled to MIRO?
the business ares a is linked to the plant (and not the way back), that means from a plant you have always a unique busines area. This is set up in transaction OMJ7, pls have a look
We don't turn on the business area balance sheet (OB65). Would you please kindly advise what will be the impact to turn this on?
quite a lot... In this case don't turn it on, but that also means there won't be automatic derivation (whatever you customized in previous step)
One last question the enhancement LMR1M001 to derived the business area, from what data will system derive the business area (from vendor master, Purchase order or from where?)
it just depends on your coding, but basically you have the information in the exit, what you have normally in MIRO.
Would be good to know, what is your exact requirement, why you want to use business area in case of MIRO postings (and in case of other postings as well).

How to Auto Populate Business Area in MIRO

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a issue of business area not being auto populated in MIRO transaction. Can anyone please help me out with how to make the business area populate in there.
I have already checked that business area is set as a mandatoty field in this transaction and linked with Plant (OMJ1). Also the cost centers also have the business area defined at the master data level.
I really appreciate the quick response
Regards

Hi,
Entries happen in background like tax you are not able to get the business area(if you are using new general ledger you can get just check once)
for other entries line items like vendor you can give the business area in MIRO header.
After you posted the document check the gl account balance respective business area wise in FAGLB03.

Re: balance field business area in line item 0003 not filled message GLT22

Hi
I am getting the afroesaid error while releasing the document to account after invoicing.
Message No : GLT2201
Diagnosis: The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in Line Item 003, even after document splitting.
System Response: The document cannot be posted
Procedure:First Check your entries
Additional causes could be :
-No value can be drived for this field from the current document data
- You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose
I have checked all the Field status variants for GLs and the filed status for posting keys. Everywhere the Business Area is marked as compulsory. In the document the business area has been entered. In splitting the document types have been assigned to the correct transaction and variant.
The error happens when i am releasing a customer invoive for billing. In case I release one sale order in invoicing this error does not happen. But when I combine more then one sales order or service order the error happens.
Pls suggest what could be the error
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

Hi,
Please check whether u have maintained the Document splitting characteristics for General ledger Accounting in that u need to check whether your Business area is defined and Zero balance and Partner field of mandatory field are checked.
Check while posting any of the line item should be filled with Business area.

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled

Dear Sapgurus,
while i posting in migo i am facing this problem, please guide me immediately
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
Diagnosis
The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 002, even after document splitting.
System Response
The document cannot be posted.
Procedure
First check your entries.
Additional causes could be:
No value can be derived for this field from the current document data.
You have entered a document type that is not designed for this business purpose.
Procedure for System Administration
Customizing

At the bottom of your error message details is the word "Customizing". You should be able to click on that and it should take you to the general location in SPRO of what needs to be fixed. From reading the message, my guess is that it will take you to the Document Splitting config. (Financial Accounting Global Settings/General Ledger Accounting (New)/Business Transactions/Document Splitting) 1. Check to see if you have Business Area under your config: Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting (for our company we have: GSBER Business Area field, zero balance checked, and PARGB in the Partner field and Mandatory Field checked.) My "guess" is that you've configured your Business Area to be a mandatory field. 2. Make sure under the config "Classify Document Types for Document Splitting" that your WE is set up correctly. For our company, we use Transaction 0600 and variant 0001 for WE.
We recently encountered that same error when we turned on a function in Enhancement Pack 4. For doc type "WE", we had transaction 0000 and once we changed it to 0600 for us in that doc splitter config, the MIGO would post.
Hope that helps,
Cindy

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.

VF02, Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled

Hi, SD Expert.
When I released the billing document to accounting, used VF02, the system displayed a message 'Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled', and I found the field of business area was blank, but I already assign the business area to plant and division and post the data comparision.
Edited by: lin huanxin on Jan 20, 2011 9:40 AM

Also please note If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your billing document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.
To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger
There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center. So check in your billing document, whether any line item does not have profit center.
thanks

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 004 not filled

Hi people,
We are trying to execute the transaction "MBST" (cancel material document) and the system is showing:
"Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 004 not filled"
"The field Business Area marked as balancing is not filled with any value in line item 004, even after document splitting."
We have the transaction OKB9 ok. All the acconts are with the configuration ok with the respective profit center.
All the configuration in the "Document Splitting" are ok to.
Could you help me please?
Thanks,
Rosana.

Hi Rosana
It looks strange.. When the original document got posted, why does the reversal poses a problem
I can think of only one reason...
Check what document type is used for reversal.. Is it the same as original document? If it is different, check what Business transaction type is assigned against the 2 doc types.... (IMG Step Classify document types for document splitting)
Another possiblity could be that the posting key used during reversal has BUSINESS AREA suppressed...You can check what posting key is used in reversal using one of the earlier reversal docs

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled- GLT2201

Hello Guys,
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
We have defaulted profit center and Business area to WBS element. Document splitting is active. We have done PR, PO. Here WBS,Profit center, Business area is populated. And when we are doing MIGO we are getting error as "Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 002 not filled
Message no. GLT2201"
Earlier only profit center is defaulted to WBS element, there was no error.
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Regards,
SK

Hi
The error could be because of the following reasons:
1. The Business Area field is supressed
2. The assignment for Plant to Business area is different from the Business Area mentioned in the WBS Element.
3. You need to check the Splitting Characteristics and the Item Categories assigned for Material Document. The path for the same is :
IMG>Financial Accounting>General Ledger accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Extended Document Splitting
Thanks & Regards

Hi Thiru,
A somewhat late aswer, but it might be helpfull for other users with the same problem. You can solve this problem by assigning the division/valuation area to the business area. Follow the path below to execute this:
SPRO - enterprise controlling - Consolidation - Integration: preparation for consolidation - Preparation in the sender system - Further settings for Business Area Consolidation - Materials Management - Assign Division/Valuation Area to Business area.
Under Enterprise structure - Assignment - Logistics General, you will find a similar function. First execute option 1 or 2 here and then execute option 3. This makes it work as well, exept that it will not be recorded in a proper transport. The first option I gave for assigning is properly transportable.
