Plant & Business Area

Dear Experts,
FI Team decided to use "Business Areas" .. they asked me to test the consequences on MM .
Note : I have assigned my Plant as a valuation area then assigned it to business area with combination with Division & entered the division in the accounting view then when I tried to GR the business area appeared in the FI document .
If there are any references about this topic please refer .
I need to know the consequences of using "Business Areas" in MM .
Please Advice

Dear ,
Where do we assign Business Area with Plant in Configuration ?
spro>Enter prise structure>>assingment>>>logistic general>>>asign business area to plant/valuation area and division

Plant & business area validation in asset creation

Dear All,
Am working in a plant & business area validation which will fire the error msg when wrong plant is assigned at time of asset creation. Issue is for a company we have 19 business area and each business area assigned to various plant. In order to avoid the individual step for each business area, have merged two or more business area in pre-requiste section and correspondingly plant had been validated in check section. But when am inserting two check conditions, its not even working as per the logic, For ex :
Pre-Requiste :
( ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1101' ) AND (
ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1102' )
Check :
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1307' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1308' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1309' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1304' ) AND
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1305' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1306' ANLZ-WERKS = '1344' )
For the above condition system not validating as per business area since if we entering business area 1101 and entering the plant which related to 1102 business area, system not throwing the error msg where as if we put a single condition in a step its working fine.
Kindly suggest me how to overcome this by avoiding individual step creation for each business area.

Hi,
I have chnaged my validation in the following way as follows,
Pre-requiste :
Co code=XXXX
Check:
Business area = XXXX AND Plant = XXXX.
This condition is working fne for one business area, where as if i include more than one business area in the check section system not validating the condition, in a step its validating only one condition. Since 21 business area available for a co code its not feasible to create individual step.
Kindly suggest me is there any other alternative way to overcome this.

Hi Syed,
The Validation can be applied both at the wbs & project level....
1. For Project Or wbs:
SPRO VIEW: Project systems --structures - operative structures- WBS-- maintain validation
click on the project or wbs as required.
Create a new validation & name it. create a step inside the rule... by clicking validation & step buttons available.
Now give the prerequisites You can give project profile , type & BA as prerequisities for your requirement by selecting the same from the table fields on the right of the screen
next for check --- select the plant field and give the value..as required for the BA.
for msg --- you have to create a msg type and maintain the number...here and save your validation.
For three BA you can have three steps maintained in the validation...
Assign this validation to your required project profile and tick the Auto validation button available in the profile.
Hope this helps you.

Business Area & Plant not picked in CIN entries while doing MIRO

At the time of performing MIRO, the automated entries related to cenvat clearing account for excise in CIN are made by system.
At the time of excise capturing the Business Area and Plant are picked up at line item for Cenvat Clearing Account.
But at the time of MIRO the Business Area and Plant are not picked at line item for Cenvat Clearing Account.
The client requires the segregation of the entries on the basis of Plant / Business Area.

Business Area field should not get translate while doing allocations in co

Dear All,
In ecc 6.0 when we will be allocating expenses through assessment and Distribution the system credits sender cost center and debits receiver cost center,the same will be applicable for Business Area also.
But my client is having plant =business area for which they are making financial statements business area wise.
The client wants its business area not to get affected by above allocations ,Is there any method of restricting costs to remain in same business area and not getting translated to another business area.
Example :                    cost center           profit center           business area
expenses                      1011                   1001                     101
allocation from cctr to cctr 1012 which is having pctr 1002 and business area 102
expenses                      1012                   1002                       102
So my requirement is the system should not update business area 102
Thanks and regards

Hi Vijay,
Profit Center is derived basing on Assignments. If you have assigned a Profit Center in the Cost Center Master
Data, obviously for whatever the postings that take place in that Cost Center, will be posted to Profit Center also
(Statistical).
In your case, Cost Center 1011 and 1012 have been assigned to different Profit Centers 1001 and 1002. So,
conceptually what the system is doing is correct.
You want to restrict the postings to happen to Business Areas. I suggest you, this is not problem of
stopping/restricting the transaction postings but You have to restructre your Cost Centers and Profit Centers.
It's rather a Business Process / Structure change required than technical requirement in the system by restricting
the postings.
Pls revert back for further discussion...

Dear Chandru,
Link plant and division to your business area and save (OMJ7).
Check OB28 - Business Place/ Section are Mandatory
Try Validation for accounting documents & create the validation of line item.
Seek help of your FICO consultant for to create the validation

Business area and plant

what is the difference between business area and plant although we can treat plant as a business area

Plant & Business area are 2 different kind of entities managed by FI & MM
Business area is different lines of operations of a Company. We can create business areas product wise, geographical divisions etc for which we would like to have internal reportings in Finance.
Plants are created in the Logistics (General) module & are assigned to the company code. The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area.

Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division

Hi,
While assigning Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division, in SPRO we are getting two tabs for the same:
a. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.
b. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.
What is the actual use of the same.
In our case, Plant & Valuation area is same, hence we need to use the option b. There is no need to assignment using option a.
What is the significance of DIVISION here.
Pls. guide.
Regards,

hi
1. Allocation for Plants and Valuation Areas differs.
This is done when valuation Area is Company Code
2. Allocation for Plants & valuation areas identical.
This is done when Plant & Valuation Area both are Same
As you are using same plant & valuation area you can use option 2.
Division;
A way of grouping materials, products, or services. The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
Thanks

Diferent business area from plant

Hi,
I am tring to post sales documents with the business area not equal to plant. In other words with a different assignation from table mantained in customizing.
I tried a user exit. Bu my question is: In customizing can we assign several business areas do a unique plant?
Best Regards
João Fernandes

Hi João Fernandes
If i understood your question correctly what you want is different business area according to your sales transaction. If you want this this is very much possible you can have any business area to any plant.
Please check the seeting in customizing node "Assign Business Area by Sales Area"
here you can assign business area as per your sales area and not as per your plant this will apply to all sales document. please also check the update rule in "Define Rules By Sales Area " after you make this seeting.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Regards
