Missing "Business Unit" in report?

Hi,
for users there are fields "Business Unit", "Business Unit 1", ..., "Business Unit 4" as standard fields provided. When creating a report I cannot find "Business Unit", but BU 1...BU 4. Is there any reason for this missing field?
Thanks in advance
Michael

What subject area are you reporting in? You will notice that there are differences in the fields made available in real-time reports vs historical analysis. Over time, with new releases, these differences have diminished but unfortunately remain in some areas.
A quick check shows that the Business Unit field is available in Account History but is not available in real-time Account reporting. If this field is important for your report, make sure to build it from an area that supports it.

Assign Chief Position to custom OM Object Business Unit

Hello
Is it recommended or doable to assign chief position via 012 relationship to the top most custom object Business Unit. Currently the chief position relationships is for Org Units. We would like to keep Chief Position to OU, also if possible to create similar 012 relationship to Business Unit. Since Business Unit will have one-to-many relationship with Regions, need is to identify chief position for the Business Unit for reporting purposes.
Evaluation path for Business Unit - Region - OU - Position - Person.
Thank you.

yes, in om structure it will be seen as top most OM object business unit (top most) region --> o.u. --> position --> person. Can I use 012 relationship of position assigned to top most business unit and keep 012 position relationship to OU.?
Narrowing down. Currently, chief position relationship is assigned to top OU that is tied to region 1:1 relationship. Now with the new top most custom object business unit has many regions. So need to identify top most region tied to business unit via 012 position.
Is it possible and how?

Report of all sales orders for a business unit

I am analyzing revenue, and I would like to run a report that would list all sales orders and the value of those orders in a particular business unit.
I require the value of each and every sales contract during a certain period. Can I run a report that lists all sales contracts opened during a particular period?

Hello,
from the standard SAP menu, under: "Logistics --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Information System --> Orders" you can find some transactions reporting sales orders lists, such as VA05 or SDO1, which perhaps could fit your requirements. Otherwise you can create a query to merge the tables containing the information that you need. As of my knowledge there's not an organizational level called "Business unit" in SAP, so you should check if in the transaction mentioned above the field you use to identify the "Business unit" is available.
Hope to be useful.
Best regards,
Andrea

Questions on setting up PeopleSoft FIN AP Business Unit for India with TDS

Hi,
Does anyone here have some advice for me on how to handle AP transactions for a business unit set up for India with TDS (withholding) and statutory reporting.
We are configuring AP BU for India in our existing database which has other BUs for other countries not using withholding. For India the way we understood on statutory is that all invoices must be recognised for withholding at the time of invoice entry or payment which ever ealiest. For PeopleSoft we always have to create voucher before we can make mayment so the earliest occurace will be at voucher entry that withholding should be deducted (at voucher post).
The problem that we are encountering is that if we have prepayment invoice, we can use prepaid voucher to record this. However, when we receive the final invouce and entered into PeopleSoft the voucher post reversed the original withholding lines and recreate in the final invoice with final invoice amount. This could be in different period. As for the India rule the way we understood this is that the entries that created at prepaid should not be reversed, also those withholding might already be paid to the goverment in prior period before receiving the final invoice. The final invoice should have withholding calculate just for the difference of the invoice balance.
Our other problem is on the statutory reporting that all transactions should be recorded in that particular period. Our current setup has AP close period at the end of each month which means we cannot enter invoices raised in previous period or have adjustments put in the period that already closed.
Any help and advice on how companies that has India AP business unit deal with the above mentioned issues are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks Marc Sachdeva.
I don't mean where to set up withholding. I have alredy configured all withholding details and everything works fine in AP.
However, as India statutory comes in, I'd like to know how other companies handle cases like accounting entries for transactions in specific period if your system has AP/GL closed periods. Normal cases would be put entries in the next accounting period. But as my understanding on the Indian rules is that withholding must be recorded at the time of entering the invoice. So how should adjustment be made.
Another thing is the prepayment invoices, using PeopleSoft Prepaid voucher would cause the accounting entries for withholding lines to be reversed and then re-recorded when posting the final invoice (that matches with the prepaid). I would like to know how companies are dealing with such case as the TDS lines could be revsersed and recalculate in different accounting period. Also if the period that it revsered the TDS % could have changed and when the reverse happens it will recalculate withholding based on the new rate for the whole of invoice amt.
For example an invoice of 10000 INR, 50% is to be recorded and paid in advance so raise the invoice of 5000 INR in Feb. TDS is 10%.
- So vendor will be paid 4500 and 500 is for withholding.
- In April then receive final invoice of 10000 INR, record into PS as 10000 but matched to prepaid so the remaining invoice is 5000. withholding rate in Apr is now 15% so 15% should be applied to the remaining invoice of 5000 INR. As the prepaid voucher option reversed withholding lines and recalculate with final invoice total so the withholding to be deducted is calculated at 15% = 1500 (10000 * 15%).
- As the prepaid invoice withholding might have already been paid in March before the rate changed, the final invoice should have withholding of 750.
I'm not sure if my understanding of recording withholding for India is correct and whether it really needs to be recorded in the month that invoice is raised. As the way I understood and have been told it has to be recorded in that month. I.e. invoice received on 30 April must be entered into accounting period of April. Our business close AP/GL about a week before the end of month so if we receive invoice on 30th April but our AP/GL already closed on 25th Apr then 30th Apr invoice should go to May accounting period. As statutury requirement is to record this into April. How does anyone handle this?
Thanks.

Difference of balance in balance sheet report & Business area wise report

Dear Group Members!!
In my company user wants to generate Business are wise Report
Difference of balance in balance sheet report & Business area wise report from same t code
Balances are different if enter business area, & if I execute the report with out entering any business area. Transaction code S_ALR_87012284 - Balance Sheet / Profit and Loss Statement.
The difference amount to be considered as data entry made with out using business area?
How do I rectify this?
Your comment will be helpful for me
Shamulheq

Hi Shamulheq
While working with business area you must first recognize that they are not company code dependent and can be used cross-company. Also depending on the SAP release you are working with postings to Business Area may not 100% guarantee, since there are cases where rules or standard SAP is not available and line items posted will be carried out without BA. For SAP releases not using the NEW GL, the setting up of adjustments accounts and monthly execution of adjustment programs would provide the vehicle to relate and adjust any missing BA at B/S and P/L level. If you are using NEW GL the document splitting would help to set the rules where every single line item would get a business area.
I assume that you are using the classic GL. The execution of T code S_ALR_87012284 - Balance Sheet / Profit and Loss Statement without business area retrieves all posting entered for any given company code regardless the account was posted with or without business area, this can be clearly displayed when you select the radio button for Classic Navigation. If you filter by Business Area, then the report will isolate the output data accordingly (The balances should be smaller). When using the classic GL you have to make sure that the financial statement version you use to execute the report, includes that the technical (Adjustment accout) account(s) that is used for the adjustment programs, so the correction to buisness areas is also included.
In conlcusion I think you have to make all this considerations, in order to better understand where the differences come from.
Hope this helps.

How to Capture Multiple Cost centres and Business Unit information in a project?

Dear Experts,
With the help of UDA functionality in project super responsibility, I have captured Cost centre and Business unit information and this info will be used/reflected in CC and BU segments of all transactions gets recorded against that project.
Now, our user wish to have multiple cost centres and business units to be tracked in the same one project. How is this feasible? Below example describes my requirement in a summary, please advise.
An Indirect project is created when a defect on a machine reported from client's customer and all subsequent activities (purchases, travel to customer site to analyse and troubleshoot, purchases for any in-house analysis etc..involves costs spending internally) in resolving that defect/project involves 6 to 7 different departments (Sales, Tech Support, Quality team etc.,who actually work/travel and spend costs against project until defect resolution). And, each of the above departments will have 1 dedicated owner (project owners) to manage that project and each of these 6 or 7 owners owners will have their own cost centres (eg: 2345 - Sales team) against which they wish to see their transactions (travel, purchases during defect resolution) globally.
So, all I want to know is how can I make one single project to accommodate multiple cost centresand business unit information to be assigned using UDA? Please let me know if I am not clear.
Regards
Venkat

I think you should use the expenditure organization on the transaction itself to derive the CC/BU. Have AA lookups and define AA rules where you look at a Exp Org to BU or Cost Center to derive accounting.

Business unit against each partner.

Hi all,
I am new to HR and not much in experience with ABAP aswell.
I need to generate a report that shows each customer from kna1 alongwith the business unit.
I saw some sample programs .To fetch the busines unit they are using ldb PCH. infotypes 1001 and 1008.
Though i am not sure.
Please advice how can i do this.
Thanks in advance.

In BCS this would most likely be where a matrix consolidation is configured and the master data for related cons units is not maintained for this combination.
If this is BPS, as you mention, there may be a defined validation check for acceptable combinations and this combination is not included.
Because it is only a warning, are the results okay?

Track Purchases/payments Sales/Receipts for 2 business units in 1 OU

Hi,
We have one Operating unit and need to capture the liabilities/payables for 2 different business units. What approach can be undertaken to set up the liability account ?
Should we maintain 2 different liability accounts ?
If the same supplier deal with both business then at which point do we enter different liability accounts ?
How do we track the purchases made for each.
Kindly through some light.
Same is required for the AR side too.

Hi
2.On the Purcahsing side , when entering the po the users should put the BU value in the segment when entering non-inventory(expense) item . How about the inventory item purchase ?
Ans:You can use two separate Sub Inventories for each BU
3. Any ideas to overcome the inability to receive cash against BU ?
Ans: There is an Account Generator called AR: Substitute Balancing Segment: Replace Balancing Segment. Using the WF customization, I understand this could be possible. But it will not be supported by Oracle because before the receipt hits the Cash account it has to pass through several intermediary accounts like unapplied receipts, undentified receipts, Confirmation account, Remittance account On account receipt etc., Only R12 Subledger Accounting has the supported solution. If you are using Oracle Public Sector Financials, then there is a solution for this called Multi fund receipt in 11.5.10.
4. Just like we can setup different transaction types in AR, can we have some means to identify the purchase/invoices of the 2 different BU ?
Ans: You need to capture only through a DFF. But I feel this is not required when you run the AP Trial balance report, you need to specify the Liability account. So if you give in that as BU2, you are going to get only BU 2 related invoices and if you specify BU1, it is going to filter BU1 invoices only. If it does not happen also you can customize this report to filter in that way.
Hope this helps

Multi-tenancy for a seperate business unit

Apparently, we can't do multi-tenancy with SCSM 2012 R2 (see link below). We'd like setup SCSM for one of our business units, but we don't want any of their stuff mingling with our IT stuff. It looks like we'll have to create a
new Management Group. Is it possible to create a new Management Group on the same server as our current IT Management Group, or do we need a new server ?
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/0891a803-c5f6-4e21-9958-ea4adc2381c6/scsm-2012-multitenant-architecture
Also, to save some work, is there a way to export settings (eg. for the connectors) from our current IT Management Group to the new Management Group ?
Thanks

Hi,
as per Microsoft Definition "The Service Manager management server and its associated Service Manager database make up a Service Manager management group." This means, that if you need additional Service Manager Management Groups, you have to install
additional servers.
I find it very handy, that you can leverage a single data warehouse Management Group and centralize your reporting if you register your many Service Manager management groups with a single data warehouse management group:
"In your enterprise, you might create multiple Service Manager management groups. You can centralize reporting for multiple Service Manager management groups by registering multiple Service Manager management groups with a single data warehouse management
group."
Source:
Planning for System Center 2012 - Service Manager Deployment
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh519640.aspx
About exporting your settings...They should be stored in management packs, which you can import in the new management group. About the connectors - you have to recreate them in the new environment and this shouldn't be a big administrative effort. It will
take probably not more than 30 Minutes to recreate all possible connectors.
I hope I could help you further.

Stoyan

Business units info requirements

Dear FI Experts,
I am a novice. I hope you could share some information regarding information requirements of the different business units in terms of finance reports.
For example, for Marketing, what sort of finance information would ,say line managers, require operationally?
Likewise for Sales unit and manufacturing or production unit.
Would appreciate if you could let me know the broad picture.
best regards
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
For catering the different needs of the business units like marketing, sales units area wise geographical wise, SAP has come with COPA (Profitability Analysis), in this module u can see the required info based on your marketing segment and geographical segment or product wise.
Coming to specific report as you are saying for marketing, a line manager can generally look how much cost has been incurred in their area and how much sale has been happened and compare the Profit margin.
coming to requirement it might changing as per business therefore there wont be any specific report kind of a stuff.
Thats why using COPA u can customize your requirement as you can?
Hope u understood

BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports-based out of Function module

We are right now creating BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports. Our client requirement is to create this report based out of u201CFunction moduleu201D.
With the current parameters settings at the Crystal Reports designer we are able to create the report based on View and Linking various table. The reports get executed and fetch data. But when we create a report based out of FM, the report returns nothing. The screen stays in u201CNot responding stageu201D and terminates after without any message/pop-up.
Can anyone please help us resolving this? Are there any parameters/settings to be done which we are missing?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,
Not much info to go on. What version of Cr are you using?
What database and version are you using?
How are you connecting to the database, ODBC, OLE DB or native driver?
Have you turned tracing on the server to what SQL is being passed from CR?
Have you copied the SQL from Show SQL in the Designer and paste that into a DB SQL test tool to verify you should be getting data back and that you are not returning so much data it's going to take a week to get?
Not responding simply means CR is waiting for data, try being patient and see if you ever get data or add a Record Selection formula so you only get a few rows of data.
Try reporting off of a single table itself to verify it works and you have permission to run the SQL.
Thank you
Don

SCRM Business Units/Company & Facility Visibility

Hi Everyone,
Do the SCRM Business Units need to be enabled in order for users to view company and facility profiles? In the past, we have used P4P to view and edit company and facilities without the SCRM business units enabled on each UGM user’s profile. If I want to enable view only access to all company and facility profiles, do I need to enable and add the SCRM business units?
In our current environment, I can view and edit company and facility profiles without the SCRM business units enabled in UGM. However, when I assign users the SCRM login, search, company reader, facility reader permissions without edit options, I receive the “you do not have permission to view this specification.”
I found the following from one of the Oracle documents:
“SCRM now supports business unit (BU) security. Users will only have access to company and facilities they have been granted access to through SCRM business units on the UGM user profile. This feature also filters the users’ business unit selection list, only showing those business units they have    access to. BU security is configurable and can be turned on or off. The default feature configuration is off. If users have no business units of SCRM     assigned to their UGM user profile they will have access to all business units. Business Unit security can be ignored depending on the status of the     business unit on the company or facility profile. There is a configuration available to set up which business unit statuses are included when SCRM BU     security is evaluated: Common.SCRMBusinessUnitSecurity.Enabled”
My questions are as follows:
Is this a bug in our system?
Am I missing a permission for company/facility visibility?
Do the SCRM business units need to be enabled?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Nick

Is Common.SCRMBusinessUnitSecurity.Enabled set to true or false? If its set to false you may have found a bug.
If Common.SCRMBusinessUnitSecurity.Enabled is set to false, we only evaluate roles to determine who has read or edit access to a company profile. So the user must have [SCRM_COMPANY_READER] to see company profiles. Only users with [SCRM_COMPANY_EDITOR] can edit companies.
If Common.SCRMBusinessUnitSecurity.Enabled is turned on then we evaluate roles AND SCRM Business Unit association.
The same applies to facilities, however when we evaluate sourcing approval permissions it gets more complex. For sourcing approvals we evaluate workflow permissions, Object Level Security, SCRM BU Security AND GSM BU security of the BU on the associated specification.
For more information around SCRM BU Security in the white papers section in our documentation listing:
