Creation of New Business Area

Hi Experts,
I want to create a new Business Area in my system and my worry is will that have an impact on my live system.I tried out a possiblilty by creating a new Bus Area T-Code OX03 and created a new Profit and CostCenter for the same in QA Server.
I tried out posting Journals for the same and the output was ok in FBL1/3/5N.
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 with Sp Purpose Ledger functionality.Do i need to do any further customization for the same.Since i want to create this new BA in Live server now.
Regards
Rahul

Business Area is an org. unit which you would want to fill in your documents, so you could draw business area-wise financial statements. I think you are good to go with what you have done in QA system, if you do the same in your Prod. system. But, what would happen to the documents that already exist in Prod. system. You must come out with a way to populate those documents with the business area, if applicable. If not (I mean, if it is a completely new business area for use in future only), your job is easy.

Folders/tables in a new business area

I4m creating a new business area, so in the second step of the
wizard I select a user from which I want to take the folders,
then in the third step I click on the user to see the tables I
could put in the business area but nothing happens, only that
after some seconds the sign (+) near to the name of the schema
dissapears and no tables appear.
This is a problem with this user, I have done it before with
other users and i didn4t have any problem.
How should I solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a simplistic question but are you sure you have
access to the tables in the schema? Can you describe the tables
in SQL*Plus?

How and what's to customizen in AA while a new business area created

My customer created a new business area and after this has been done, heu2019s depreciation run didnu2019t work anymore. Anyone can help me?
If you create a new business area, what should you do in the customizing (SPRO) in point of view of AA? Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul, thanks for your quick replay. The error is wiht the No. K1235 - the account 99960000 needs relevant assignment.I checked via ACSET: the deprecialtion area ist "20" and the account assignment objects is KOSTEL (either for periodic Posting or account assignment for deprecialtion). It worked before the new BA has been created - that's why Im wondering if there are somewhere need to be customized. it would be great if you could help me out. thanks again regards

New Business Area Configuration

Hi,
I have an issue,Please support me!
So far we have not configured Business Area and using company code only.
However owing to business requirements we are planning to configure 4
(four) business areas.
This project we are rolling out from 01-Apr-2009 (Starting of new
fiscal year).
In this contxt request you to highlight the other areas that will get
affected and precautions to be taken.
Also after configuration of new business areas, "trail balance sheet"
has to be tallied.
Regards
JNRao

Hi,
Configuration of business areas won't create any problems to trial balances, but you can create statements for different business area level,
Business areas are not assigned to company code, so all company codes under your company can any of the business area's.
Make sure that filed status groups are maintained properly to use business area's for transaction posting.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Not posted Treasury transactions- problem with new Business area (NewGL)

Hi all,
I have to change the Treasury account assignment objects due to a restructure. Currently, all TR transactions are assigned to one business area only.
In future, there will be 3 (different) business areas.
I have added new products, transaction tpyes etc and I have made further customising
settings. It looks ok and I can enter new transactions, settle and post them.
Problems I do have with already existing deals (fixed term and Forex transactions).
In here I get posting errors with message:
Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled
Message no. GLT2201
I have added additional account assignment references for the new Business Areas
and assigned to product types and account assignment
What happens when I create a deal?
Is that information (product type/ transaction/ account assignment) alreaedy stored in a table and used, when processing the deal further?
Can I somehow change that original assignment per deal now?
I think my problem lies in that the system wants to use the old assignment but also the new and it comes to conflict in field business area.
Any hints much appreciated and will be reqarded as usual.
Thanks
Hein

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.

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

Creating new business area from external database over dblink

Hi all,
I have the following configuration,
ORCL - Database containing the EUL
The EUL owner is BI_ADMIN.
ADG - Database containing the objects and data
There is a database link from ORCL to ADG using the username BI_ADMIN.
Steps to recreate problem
1. I connect to the EUL in ORCL
2. click on the "Create a new Business area" button
3. ensure that "on-line dictionary" is selected, then click on next.
4. select the appropriate db_link from drop-down list.
5. select user scott from list of users
6. click on optionss button, and "tick" public tables option. Then click OK button.
7. click next button
8. click on user scott in available box.
It is at this point that i have a problem, no objects in the scott schema are displayed for selection.
If i create a new user in database ADG ,along with a new object in newly created schema and i follow the steps 1 - 9 detailed above, substituting scott with
the new user i created, the object i created appears in the available box.
I would appreciate it if anybody can tell me what i'm doing wrong.
thanks
Mel

Hello
I'm wondering whether you might have a schema in the local database with the same name as the one you are trying to pull from across the database link. You will need to do a little workaround to get around this if this is your scenario.
I have a paper in my downloads area on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm that describes how to pull data definitions in across a database link. Take a look and let me know if this helps.
Best wishes

New Business Area Not Found

I successfully created new business area in Administration Edition , but in desktop edition while creating a new file for same user, the available list remains empty. Please help me, I am new to this.
Thanks
DSD

Hi DSD,
It sounds like a security / privilege issue to me. You could try the following:
1.) In Discoverer Admin can you confirm that the person and responsibility you are logging into Desktop with, has been given access to the Business Area in Tools>Security.
2.) In Discoverer Admin could you also check in Tools>Privileges to ensure that that the Desktop user has ‘User Edition’ selected.
3.) If you have more than one End User Layer (EUL) then it could be that you are logging into the wrong one. In Desktop click Tools>Options>EUL and ensure there aren’t more that two in the list. If there are select the correct one that you want to connect in as. Log out of Desktop and then back in again.
For more information in Security and Privileges read one of Oracle Guides.

Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
Thanks!

Hi Seymour
You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
(SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
AS
SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
Best wishes

Update GL accounts (historical data) with new Business Area values

Hi experts,
Situation:
One company code with multiple plants already productive w/o Business Area.
Business Area would be implemented soon to internally differenciate the company code.
What is needed:
To update with various values the GL account balances with a proper Business Area, as required, for instance starting on a new year. Something like executing a balance carry forward and be able to add the business area.
Purpose:
For internal analysis and reporting to be able to compare data without having to deal with historical data having the field Buisness Area 'blank' .
Question:
Does any body knows if a tool or program is available to do so?
Your responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
GG

Hi,
this message cannot be changed (OBA5) nor a new analysis period for the costcenter is helpful if any plan / actual data is posted already in this fiscal year.
If its not only test data (which can be deleted and than the change can be done) the only way is to add the business area in cost center master by maintaining CSKS-table directly if you are allowed to do so...
If there are balance sheet items (eg assets assigned to such a cost center, the balance sheet postings from asset accounting are posted with the busines area from cost center master) you have to repost them in GL accounting otherwise business area wise balance sheet is wrong.
Best regards, Christian

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.
Phil

I'll post another question about how to attached a file into a Mail message which is automatically compressed/zipped. Or do i have to find the file in Finder, compress it and then attached it?

Business Area Configuration.

Hi,
Our client is now expanding to new business, and to configure a new business area for the same.Presently no business area is defined.
Pls suggest me,whether to go for new business area or new company code and we are in ECC 6.0 enviornment.
Regards,
Nagesh

Hi
Is the new line of business going to be a separate reporting legal entity. If yes then a new company code needs to be configured.
If the same is not a separate legal entity then go for business areas. The profitablilty for each business area can be tracked anyhow for operational decision making.
Thanks

The functions of business area is to create balance sheets and profit and loss statement below the company code level. It functionality can be duplicated using Profit center accouting.
OX03 - Creation of new Business Area
New Business Areas can be created anytime in the Enterprise structure in the IMG. However, in the year of creation, no comparison can be done with the previous year data as the Business Area did not exist in the previous year and there are no postings in the previous year.
After create the new Business Areas, new G/L accounts should be created for :-
Sales
Cost of Sales
External Process Cost
Consumption
Material Change
Purchase
Cost of Difference for Production
Factory Output for Production Order
Next create a default account assignment to maintained the link for cost center and business area.
Transaction OKB9
Enter the Company Code and Cost Element
Cocd      Cost elem.      Acct assignment detail
Enter the details as per business area/valuation area
BA     Cost ctr
Guess the above helps.
