Posting without Business Area

Hi,
I am trying to post one entry with B/S GL a/c as below:
Dr. 400001 - 1000 INR with Business Area 1000
Cr. 400001 - 1000 INR without Business Area
I.e., I am nullifying (the value) the Balances at the Business Area level, but system is taking the Business Area in the second line item also as below:
Dr. 400001 - 1000 INR with Business Area 1000
Cr. 400001 - 1000 INR with Business Area 1000 (the system automatically picking the Business Area from the first line item - which we dont want).
Could any body help on this ASAP?
Regards
JS

The business area field will appear at the time of posting the transaction, because when you pick a GL account for posting the system will check in the field status group of the relevant GL account. Check in FS00 and find the field status then go to OBC4, there check in additional account assignment where you will fin business area as optional or required etc...
You can make the filed as suppressed.

Cost centre without business area

Hi All,
I have document splitting with business area and profit centre mandatory, along with this i have configured business area wise FSV in OBY6.
We have configured 10 business areas and 5 profit centres, but i have created cost centres without business area and i dontwant to create cost centres with business area becoz junk master data in system and no control to users. also i have done configuration in OKB9 for automatic posting expences account with the combination of valuation area-business area- & cost centre, but when we are posting any financial document though MM or SD transactions like PGI or MIGO for service, system is not allowing to post financial document without business area cost centres. Error "Business Area XXXX / Cost centre XXXX is not assigned".
After all analysis i came to know that, if we have cost centre with business area then only we can move with this set of configuration. Is it right?
In No. what need to be done. basically we dont want to create cost centres for all Business Area
Thanks in Advance,
Sahil

Hi,
If you are not ready to maintain BA in CC master you should write Substitution / you should maintain derivation rule for deriving business area.

Tax line itmes post at Business Area level

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me how to post input and output tax line items at Business Areal Level.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
An organization can not assign bank, equity or tax information to business area directly, so you can't create legally required financial statements or tax reports using only business area.
Here is what I found in the link below. I am sure this will for sure help you. Please refer to page 49 for your question.

TTB1 Post Flows Business Area Update

Dear All,
while Posting post flows in T.Code TBB1 i am getting an error Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled. I had assigned the business area in step Allocate Additional Account Assignments to Account Assignmen
Use. what else configuration is required for deriving business area in this regard.
Warm Regards,

Hi,
The additional assignment of AAR is only the place where BA is integrated.
Please check the AAR generated for the transaction is the same for which you defined Business Area as the key for updating BA is through AAR.

Business Area missing

Hi,
I need your guidance. I have run Automatic Payment Program. Clearing Document been generated. Now when i need to cancel the same I am getting error Business Area is missing. Client is having validation as no document get posted without Business Area. Please send your valuable suggestion.

Please check whether in the original document generated from payment run the business area was entered?
If not, you should configure the business area in FBZP > Bank Selection > Bank Account
After this setting it will not make issue in reversal in future.
But for the current document to be reversed, you can define a substitution for populating the business area.

Business Area in Document

Hi SAP Gurus
We have large number of Material documents which have been posted without business area. Now we want the same to be rectified.
Please guide me.
Regards
Aman

Hi,
In order to generate BS and P&L at business area level you should carry out the following:
1. You should have activated " Enable BA balance sheet" under enter global parametets in FA global settings.
2. You should do configuration under the transaction code "OBXM"
3. You also have run the transaction codes f.50 for P&L and 5.D & 5.E for Balance sheet readjustment.
System automatically posts the taxes and reconciliation accounts of NIL BA transactions to BA and tally the trial balance of all B. areas
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign Points if useful.

How to fill empty business area in posted documents?

Hi SAP Team,
My Client need to fill the field "business area" for documents already posted. However, today all posted documents, have a rule + validation or substitution for this field.- fill business area to be filled in. For year 2013, my client want to re-assign business area at balance sheet accounts but the problem is how to that at customers, vendors account that are reconciliation accounts. Do you have any sugestion?
For balance accounts, for eg:, if my total in a gl bank account is in debit (no business area at this gl account level), my client idea is to credit that bank account without business area and debit it again but filling the business area. For Customers/Vendors, is not that easy because that gl account does not allow directed posting.
Do you have suggestion to handle this?
Thanks a lot,
Kind regards
Antónia Farias

For vendor / customer postings you have to create reconiliation account wise dummy sub ledgers.
E.g. 1.You have 3 recon. a/c's for customers then you cretae 3 dummy customer codes.
       2. Post a consolidated entry using this dummy accounts(one line item with B.A and the second
           line ietm without B.A)
       3. So at any point of time these subledgers should have zero balance.
       4. Please block these sub-ledgers once your postings have been finished.

How to Update Business Area Field in Posted Document?

Dear All,
Pls tell me how to update Business Area in documents which are posted without entering Business Area field. Pls tell me how to achieve this without using Validations & Substitutions. Any table entries can be maintained for this? Kindly guide.
Regards
Abhijeet

Hi,
I think, you need to post mannually if you have the list of documents posted with out business area.
ex:
1.Before posting of accounting entry as below, you should deactivate business area component in OB65 againest your co.code
2.Post accounting entry as below
40 123456 without business area 100
50 123456 with business area ABC 100
3. Goto T.Code: OB65 activate the business area component.
4. After posting of accounting entry like above you should run transaction F.5D and F.5E again, make sure that above entry not come again while executing F.5D.
First you can try this process in dev client, if you are comfort with this process then follow the same in quality and production.
Note: You can do this transactions in production client, only when there were no users working on the system.
all the best

Prasad

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

Business Area and Profit Center In Document Splitting

Hi,
We are using Business area and Profit Center characteristics for document splitting.
In one transaction, the Business area and profit centers are defaulted through the cost center.
The document is successfully split in respect of the business area, but the profit center is not filled, thereby giving error while posting.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, we have all three scenarios, profit center, segment and business area..
As suggested, we have checked all field status relevant.. profit center is optional in all cases..
Now, Pls consider the scenario without business area in document splitting characteristics..
If I post an expense, profit center is picked thru cost center and segment thru profit ctr. The vendor or bank line item inherits the characteristic values from the previous line item.
Now, in addition we have business areas in doc splitting characteristics.
Business area, again is populated thru cost centers, along with profit ctr and segment.
The business area gets correctly populated in the vendor line item.. but the profit center doesnt.
Please let us know the reason..

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.

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.

Business Area wise finacial statements - P&L, Balance Sheet

Hi,
My client has a requirement to have business area wise Trail Balance. In OBY6, business area financial statements tick has been done. So it is asking business area in cost objects. Plants are assigned to business areas. But still, I am able to post Balance sheet account to Balance sheet accounts without business area. I thought making business area mandatory for all G/Ls in OBC4. Then I have to write many substitutions and I may lose advantage of F.5D which gives business area basing on other P&L line item.
What needs to be done?
Can someone help me to suggest what exactly needs to be done to get Business Area wise Trail Balance.
We have not activated document splitting functionality. Please suggest the way without document splitting and New G/L functionalities.
Regards,
Saidarao
