Posting intercompany items in FB01 (business area problem)

Hi guys,
Have you tried posting intercompany items in FB01?
My problem occured when i tried to post concur documents in FB01.
In line item1, i didn't enter a business area.
In line item2, i entered business area 0005.
I clicked simulation.
The business area in line item 1 is now populated with 0005.
When i debug the program, item 1's business area was populated because of OSS notes 566083.
I look for OSS notes that may solve this problem but i haven't found any.
I considered using the substitution exit that is called before simulation, but i'm afraid it might cause conflict in other modules!
Help.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
warm thanks,
navi

Hi Prabhu,
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, i ikow I can manipulate the business area's value in a substitution exit.
But the problem is, the OSS note was called after the line item passed through the substitution exit.
Meaning the filling-up of the BA happens after the program executed the substitution exit.
It could have solved the problem if the substitution exit comes after the OSS note but its not the case, so I really can't use that exit.
I search for another exits that occurs when simulation was ticked, but there's none.
I asked my functional to ask SAP for OSS notes that may solve this problem and I am also conducting thorough investigation in my end.
Do you have any other idea regarding this problem?
Thanks again so much in advance.

FI/CO Posting - Business Area Problem

Hi all,
I am running PC00_M99_CIPE program.
Business areas seem to accurate that consisting of payroll document . But business areas is all the same within the FI document.
What causes this problem? (user-exit? customizing? OSS-Note?)
Can you help me please.
Best Regards.

Sir,
Wat is the Sap FI Procedure for Transfer Posting of Costs booke from one BA to another
eg. Suppose while doing any transaction business area 4500 should be picked but instead of 4500 business area 7000 is being assigend which is wrong the correct busines area should be 4500. so it is not possible all the time to reverse the enter so wat is the procedure to assign the correct businee Area

In Posted Document How to Update Business Area Field ?

Hello peers,
I am training to update Business area in some of my line items, for example when i have posted a doc in MIRO it has not updated in my TAX a/C's. Now i want to update the same. So i tried doing the F.5D and F.5E, but it's saying
Nothing was selected
Message no. FR333
In one of the threads i read in OB65 business area has to deactivate, then post, and then activate the same to do F.5D. but it is activated before posting the documents.
What should i do now. and what should i maintain in OBXM.
Please guide me to do the same. or suggest if any other way of doing it.
Thanks in advance
Murali

Dear Murali
Maintain a Clearing A/c under transaction GA0 e.g. Business Area Clearing A/c
Make sure you have activated Business Area FS in OB65
Then run F.5D and Post through F.5E B
However by doing this you will not be able to update the Business Area but it will pass an adjustment entry
Hope it Helps
Cheers

Suggestions needed for Export/Import Business Area Problem

I'm trying to export/import a Business Area from one instance to another and I get the following error during import processes.
Database Error - ORA-00001: unique constraint (EUL4_US.EUL4_EXP_PK) violated
The Business Area I'm trying to import doesn't exists in new instance. During the import wizard I've checked refresh existing object and match by identifiers.
I think my target instance has objects with same identifiers, so I went ahead and changed the identifiers in my source, but still problem persists. How can I correct this error?
Thanks

Did you happen to copy the EUL from one database to another before you were importing/exporting the BA?
Discoverer recognizes EULs using unique reference numbers. However, if you use the database export and import utilities to copy an EUL, the new EUL (including its reference number) will be identical to the original EUL. When EULs have the same reference number, EUL consistency issues can arise if you do both of the following:
* If you modify objects in both the original EUL and in the new EUL
* Having modified objects in both EULs, if you then attempt to copy objects between the two EULs using the Discoverer Export Wizard and Import Wizard (or the Discoverer /export and /import commands)
To avoid potential EUL consistency issues, run the eul5_id.sql script as the owner of the new EUL. The eul5_id.sql script gives a new refererence number to the new EUL and thereby avoids any potential EUL consistency issues.
Reference
* How to import an EUL using the standard database import utility
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/maintain_eul.htm#i1008632
For 4i, you will ned to run:
sql> update EUL4_VERSIONS set VER_EUL_TIMESTAMP =TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS');
sql> commit;
Some similar EUL inconsistencies are documented in:
Note.267476.1 Discoverer Workbook Fails With 'Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL' After EUL Migration, Importing Or Cloning
You might want to check that if the EUL version timestamps are the same.

Business area problem

Sir in tcode VA01 i am getting following error :-
No business area can be determined for item 000010
Messagae no. V1599
Diagnosis
The system could not determine a business area for item 000010. The item has plant AMBA and is assigned to company code ARP for which a business area is required. This is caused by incomplete settings in Customizing.
System response
The system does not allow you to create the item.
Procedure
Before creating the item, make sure that you have completely maintained business area assignments in Customizing.
In which tcode i will have to do customization?
I wait on line.

Hi,
This because the determination rule is not maintained.
If you maintain the determination rule then system will pick up the business based on plant /division
or otherwise based on sales area.
If your triggering the business area based on plant and division then u need to give the rule 1.
T.code:IMG
Enterprise structure>Assignment>Sales and Distribution>Business Area Account Assignment>Define Rules by Sales Area.
1--> based on plant and division
2--> based on Sales Area
3-->Based on Sales Org/distribution channel and division.

Business Area for Vendor Line Items during Payroll Posting

Dear All
We are in ECC 6 version of SAP. We are using Business Area for Internal Financial Statement. We are facing a problem with regard to Business area in Payroll posting. Business area does not appear in vendor line items when we make posting of payroll for multiple business area. We have setting technical accounts for HR. We read SAP note 203276 and it seems that it is possible. Can someone tell us what is the reason that business area not coming in vendor line item while payroll posting.

Hi
That part we have already done. The problem only come when we run payroll and there are vendors belonging to several business area in that case system keep the business area field blank. In case if we set field status required system give error. That is why we run payroll by each business area we also have maintained technical account for 1001.

Customer Open Items by segments or Business Area

Dear All
Good Morning
We would like to discuss one issue which may be other companies also facing related to New General Ledger. We book one vendor liabity which belong to two Business Area or Segment. Now we enter vendor line item only once and do not enter the business area in vendor line item. Document is posted and vendor line item is without business area. But if we see GL view document reconciliation account is splitted in two business area based on expense propotionate. which is correct but still our problem is that when we run the vendor report by business area this vendor line item will be shown without business area.
Can any one have a solution for this problem
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Ravi,
SAP will pick these invoices for payment according to vendor open items which are due according to payment terms.
When it comes to customer invoices, clearing depends on when customer pays payment to particular invoice, these customer invoices will get cleared.
I assume you are talking more closely to intercompany scenario (If it is not intercompany invoices clearing, you should not worry mostly about customer invoices clearing), where you want to clear vendor invoices and customer invoices. So you need to incorporate entry date in your functionality to pick intercompany invoices clearing.
Thanks much

Hi Kale,
Make sure the field Business area is not supressed in tx. OB14. for the GL account in line item 001.
On the other hand, have a look to the note and kba below:

Business Area postings in Tax line items

Hi Experts,
As we know that Business Area is not updated in the tax line items, In one our company code we have done BA adjustment through F.5D and F.5E in 2007, after that there are thousands of line items in the system without business areas, now my client wants a tallied business area trial balance from 2007 onwards or aleast to ensure that the tax line items should get business area assignments from hereafter, and also recently we have created one more company code, Please help how do I ensure that all the tax line items and items with blank business areas get the business area postings. Is there any user exit or any work around available for this... At present we have only one GL for Inter business area clearing for all types of accounts (reconciliation, tax accounts) in OBXM.
Please help...
Regards,
Khan

Hello,
Are NewGL and document splitting active in your system? If yes, you should solve this problem with using splitting function.
Otherwise, you can use business transaction event 00001120.
I explained step by step how can you activate BTE 00001120. I give you message below.
Re: FBCJ - Cash Journal Transaction
In this exit, you must update t_bsegsub-gsber field which t_bseg-buzid = 'T' for tax item.
But you can not split tax line items in this exit. For example in invoice you have 2 or more business area, but tax line item doesn't create for each buiness area (If you don't use document splitting functon). So in this exit you can only assign a business area to tax line item which is automatically generate while posting FI document.

Business Area not determined in batch posting.

Dear SAP experts,
My client is on 4.6c system. Till now they were not using business area. Recently we have activated business area balance sheet. While posting FI document manually using FB01, business area derivation happens correctly on vendor/customer/balance sheet line items. However, when same document is posted via bdc session, business area derivation is not happening. I also tried to manually simulate bdc session. Still no derivation happened. Any suggestion/solution will be highly appreciated.
Unit.

Hi Jayesh,
How system is deriving business area in case of vendor/customer when you are doing FB01. Means its through some substitution rule or some default value.

Can business area change when we post a clearing document?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the business area when we post a clearing document?
For example, we need to pay the line item that have business area 3000. Then we use transaction F110 to create a payment then a clearing docuement will be created with business area 3000. Can we configure it to change to Business area 1000 when we do the payment.
I tried to implement a FI substitution but Business area field cannot be changed(OSS Note 42615). we can do that by changing standard program but it is not recommended by SAP.
Any idea on how to do this? Configuration, BTE or any user exits? Point will be rewarded for any helpful answer.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

hi raj,
Could you please explain more about assignment and substitution? did you implement this before?
I am in doubt because OSS Note 42615 said that GSBER (Business area) must not be substituted. Therefore, if you implement it and there is no problem, I will do the same.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

Hello Experts,
We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.
I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like
1. Creation of Business Area
2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)
3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)
4. Business Area by Sales Area
5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account
It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.
But
In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)
I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.
Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi,
I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.
The best you can do is:
1. Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line
or
2. You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account. This will then force the user update the BA. We use this option. This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.
Cheers.

Business Area is not flowing to Billing Doc Line item

Hi,
Since recently we have observed that in some billing document creation, the business area in sales order line item is not flowing to the billing document line item.
VBRP-GSBER remains blank due to which we face problem in J1IIN txn.
This is not happening in all the cases. There are very few instances where business area is becoming blank in billing document line item.
But when the same billing document is reversed and new billing document is created, the business area flows properly to billing document line item (in VBRP).
Can anybody suggest why such erratic behaviour? And how to resolve the issue?
Thanks and Regards
Ratna

Dear Shiva Ram and Srinath,
Thanks for your reply
I had checked the settings in SPRO. These are OK. The sales order line item is deriving business area properly. But in some cases (not in all the cases) the business area is not flowing to Billing Line Item during billing document creation. It is happening in production server and not in development server.
I intend to use user exit userexit_fill_vbrk_vbrp to fill the VBRP-GSBER col with VBAK-GSBER if VBRP-GSBER is blank during saving the sales bill thro VF01..
Pl. suggest.
Regards
Ratna
