Postings in wrong Functional Area

Hi,
I have a complicated scenario, i have a service purchase order for a cost center C111 which as a Functional Area F101, during invoice i had changed the cost center to C222 and changed the Functional Area to F101, where the cost center C222 belongs to F202 functional area. The postings have done been and payments was made to the vendor. Now in cost center and profit center report with functional area shows wrong value meaning it should showed as cost center C222 and FA F202, but now the costing reports is incorrect with comibination of C222 and F202
Now how can i make correction postings, logically the amount should be posted to C222 with F202. I tried in manual reposting and several other options, but failed. We are in ECC 5.0.
Can somebody help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Best Regards,

and check these categories are mentioned in masters.
Thank you.

  • SRM creates purchase requisition with wrong functional area

    Hi,
    We face the situation that we have postings to wrong functional Areas. These postings belong to a PO related GR. The PO originates  to a purchase Requisition. The functional area is can see there iw wrong, too. This seems the initial problem. If I create a PR using the same cost center and account it derives the correct funtional area. The PR is created out of SRM.
    We upgraded this year to EhP6 and it seems the issues started shortly after.
    Any idea how to correct?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Hope your BAdI is working now.
    MD51 is used for project. It creates replenishment orders against a WBS element. After this, you can run MD01 which will create replenishment order by material/plant level.

  • Functional Area determination in MIRO postings

    We are on ECC 5.0
    We had A/P invoices were posted via MIRO where the account assignment was changed. 
    Right now we have:
    -Functional areas defined in all cost center master records.
    -Functional areas defined for a select group of balance sheet accounts.
    -Configured a special PO type Z to allow POs to be created against balance sheet accounts
    The scenario is this:
    When the account assignment of a PO is changed during MIRO invoice entry, it seems as though the functional area is still being derived off of the original account assignment.  So it posts it to the right cost center, wrong functional area.
    Is there a way to have MIRO re-derive the functional area during invoice entry?
    Also, when I tried to correct the issue through a manual journal entry via FB50, I received the error message: "
    An entry in field Functional Area is not permitted for account 732000." Message no. F5394
    Does anyone know what might cause this error message?  I tried to change the field status group for that GL account by making functional area optional and tried the je again with the same error message. 
    Any idea how to correct the prior mispostings? 
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    i did nt understand what s functional area determination ! can you pls explain further. If you are talking about sales area then yes if the customer belongs to more than one sales area the system would give a pop up and you can select what you want.
    you can also change later to the sales area required provided no subsequent processing of the sales order has taken place.

  • Function Area derive from cost center

    Hi, here is a question.
    The function area was input in the cost center master data. Cost center A ( Function area 1000), Cost center B (Function area 2000)
    Then creat a PO with Account Assignment Category(K), Item Category (B), input the cost center A in the PO.
    When I do MIRO, I change the cost center (A TO B), but the function is still 1000, not change to 2000. But if I delete the Function area in MIRO first, then change the cost center, the function area update to 2000.
    There is no default function area in GL account and cost element, also no substitution.
    Is it standard in SAP?  I want the Function area can be updated with the cost center. Any method?

    Here is what SAP help says about this.
    Functional area field for postings - ready for input?
    You can enter the functional area directly when entering G/L account postings, provided the "Functional area" field is shown in the field status group of the G/L account.
    SAP recommends that you do not show the "Functional area" field in the field status group of the G/L account, but rather that you have the system determine the functional area of the account assignment. This eliminates the risk of the user entering incorrect functional areas.
    You said you have functional area in cost center master data.  When you post documents, do you get func. area from the cost center automatically or not?

  • Functional Area for WBS Element

    Hi Friends
    While posting Invoices in SRM 7.0 for WBS elements the Functional Area is sometimes picked up from WBS element directly and sometimes from Responsible Cost Center of the WBS.
    Also in cases when we have split account assignment with CC and WBS elements then many times only the COST Center Functional Area is passed for all the account assignment split.
    E.G. we have 1 line item with 10000 value and Account Assignment is split in 4 parts 1 CC and 3 WBS element. For this functional are of the Cost Center is passed for all four account assignments rather than passing 4 different functional areas based on each cost element.
    Can someone help me understand how the standard functionality works or is there any specific condition in which the responsible cost center Functional Area is picked up instead of WBS element Functional Area.
    There are some documents where in case of split accounts system is passing separate functional area for each account assignment. So i am not able to conclude what is the standard function to determine Functional Area.
    Regards
    Ushir

    Hi Akash,
    The scenario you mentioned is correct it will pick up the CC functional area in case there is no functional are on WBS but in our case that is not the case. For all the WBS we have the functional area maintained but still some times the functional area is picked up from responsible cost center of the WBS.
    The problem is we are not able to replicate this in Q or D environment. The documents posted by users in production are pointing to some wrong Functional Area and its not correct.
    Regards
    Ushir

  • Correct Functional Area

    Hi All,
    We are using Functional Area in ECC mapping it to Cost Centers. However, we are facing 2 issues:
    1. In case the CC is changed in the document before posting the document, SAP does not re-determine FA. This can be overcome by manually deleting the FA while changing the CC. However, please suggest if we can have an automated way (tried substitution but it does not seem to work).
    2. There are some already posted which have incorrect FA. How can these docs be corrected? Tried using the program RFCORRFA to correct but this erases the FA but does not determine the correct FA.
    Any suggestion for the two issues?
    Thanks
    Anita

    Per documentation of RFCORRFA (below), it should do the necessary fix. Please debug/check CC-FA assignments. Else would raise the issue with SAP support.
    -Prasad Kosuru
    *& Report  RFCORRFA                                                    *
    *& This report corrects the functional area in the BSEG table
    *& (Field BSEG-FKBER):
    *& The derivation of the functional area is processed anew and
    *& the new functional area is then stored in the FI documents (in the

    *& The report works in the following way:

    *&    the ACCIT and ACCHD structures).
    *& This reports works well for all FI documents which were posted
    *& directly in FI, e.g. using the FB01 transaction, since all
    *& information of the posting is available in the BSEG and BKPF tables.
    *& But a wrong functional area might be derived for FI documents which

    *& Please note: In most cases this report will work fine also for

    *& If the report does not fullfill your needs, maybe because

  • Functional Area on FI Postings

    Version ECC 6.0
    What are the different places from where FI postings or CO postings can pickup the functional area from?
    Few places that I can think of is from the cost center master, cost element master, manually given at the time of posting, set-up via substitution rules..
    We have some postings going to incorrect functional area. Some of these postings are for cost center distributions but not going to the functional area used in distribution.

    Hello :
    In configuration, SAP collect all the place where we can set up functional area the same as your understanding:
    SPRO> FI > FI Global settings> company code> cost of sales accounting>Functional area > enter functional area
    FI : FS00
    CO: ka01
    CO: cost center categories
    CO: Internal Order type
    SPRO> FI > FI Global settings> company code> cost of sales accounting>Functional area > Enhance determination of functional area
    Hope this help.

  • Assign Functional area to Profit Center Distribution Cycle postings

    Hi All,
    I am using a NEW GL distribution cycle (Tran Code : FAGLGA35) for distributing balances in the Dummy Profit center to relevent Profit centers.
    My Company is using Functional area for FIN STAT Ver and other reportings. When I run the profit center distribution cycle, it distirbutes the amounts but doesnot assign the Functional areas to the posting. Is there a way I can pass the functional area of the relevent postings of the accounts to the postings of each distribution postings.
    Thanks
    MKR

    Dear MKR,
    Thank you for using the SAP SDN Forums,
    In this particular case, you could have a look at the following to
    see if it helps you, but I have not tested this for your case
    so it is not being offered as a definite solution:
    You could look at using FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE which might be able to
    help you to get the results that you want.
    Due to the inheritance logic in allocation, if you set "transfer
    field" option active for the field (T811I-INHER), the system copies
    the sender value to the receiver if the receive value is not specified.
    Please refer to SAP Help portal:
       http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/40/e1510735f30baee10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
    You can deactivate "transfer field" flag in customizing
    and use BAdI : FAGL_ALLO_SUBSTITUTE to substitute the intended
    functional area. (This BAdI is the "official" way to substitute any
    field during allocation, rather than OBBH substitution.)
    I hope this may be of some assistance in resolving the issue.
    Kind Regards,
    Brendan

  • How to post cost of goods sold to io per functional area and account determ

    1. We create a sales order with reference to a revenue IO with functional area ABC01.
    2. We create a delivery document on the sales order and goods issue XYZ.
    3. We expect the cost of goods sold for the coal to hit an existing IO with functional area ABC02 based on account determination for XYZ.
    4. Instead we see both the revenue and the COGS hitting the revenue IO on the Sales roder.
    5. For now, the accountants responsible for those companies have been making journal entries all along to correct the postings.
    Please advise what needs to be done for step 3 to happen so that the extra step 5 need not be done.
    (IO - internal order)
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    What is the IO you have assigned in the Sales Order please?
    Just check the Sales Order - Account assignement, so that you can able to change if there is a different IO.
    System won't pick up IO automayically until unless you secify in Sales order to done OKB9 settings.
    Chek the above
    Thanks

  • ROLE OF FUNCTIONAL AREA

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me whats the role of functional area in projects.
    This is defined in the project profile and flows down to the project objects.
    Thanks
    N.Somesh

    Hi,
    In my opinion, functional are has nothing to do with which costs are to be picked but once there is some cost, functional area is recorded in FICO documents. On the basis of the functional division, cost of sales accounting displays where costs occur in the organization.
    In your case, functional area in project will be considered for postings. Refer this:

  • Derivation of functional area in CO

    Hi all,
    CO postings with the use of the functional area are incorrect because:
    - the validity dates of the functional area (settings made in FM_Function) should prevent me from making postings in CO in certain cases. For example, I'm making internal CO postings (KP06) for the year 2008 period 12 and the functional area is valid until 2007 period 12. The system lets me register the postings. In the other hand, such a control is effective in FI because a FB60 execution controls the date with the functional area validity period.
    For me it's a bug. Can you help me to identify it?
    Thanks in advance
    Pascal

    Hi Lakshman,
    1. For activation/deactivation of Cost of Sales Accounting, the path is IMG - Financial Accounting - Finacial Accounting Global Settings - Company Code - Cost of Sales Accounting - Activate COst of Sales Accounting for Preparation
    2. You can derive Funcational Area by maintaining Substituation Rules and Activating them. Follow the path  - IMG - Financial Accounting - Finacial Accounting Global Settings - Company Code - Cost of Sales Accounting -  Set up Substitution for Cost of Sales Accounting - Define Substitution.
    After define substitution, activate the same.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Financial Statement Structure(Functional Area)

    Dear All,
    Can anyone explain the usage of Functional Area when we Config the Financial Statement.

    Kris

    Hello
    Please check this out and assign points if useful
    Definition
    Account assignment characteristic that sorts operating expenses according to functions, for example:
    Production
    Administration
    Sales
    Research and development
    Use
    If you want to use cost of sales accounting, you have to use functional areas to sort your operating expenses.
    You define your functional areas in Customizing under Financial Accounting ® Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company code® Cost of Sales Accounting ® Define Functional Area.
    Use
    You can enter the functional area in the master data of the following objects:
    G/L account
    Cost element
    Cost center
    Orders
    Order type
    Internal orders
    Sales order for make-to-order production and requirements class
    Maintenance, service, and QM order
    Production order, product cost controller, and cost object hierarchy
    WBS elements
    Project profile and project definition
    WBS element
    Networks
    Network type
    Network header
    Network activity
    During posting, the system derives the functional area from the master data of the assigned objects. For more information, see  Derivation of the Functional Area.
    Prerequisites
    In order to be able to enter the functional area in the master data of the specified objects, the Functional area field in master data has to be ready for input. For this to be the case, cost of sales accounting for your company codes must either be active for preparation or active.
    You make the settings in Customizing under Financial Accounting ® Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company Code ® Cost of Sales Accounting ® Activate Cost of Sales Accounting for Preparation or Activate Cost of Sales Accounting.
    The master data of some objects is not company code dependent, rather it is assigned to higher-level organizational units. In such cases, the functional area field is ready for input in all company codes of a client, provided that cost of sales accounting is active for preparation or active for at least one company code of the client.
    In the following cases, the master data of an object is not company code-dependent:
    Object
    Assigned organizational unit
    G/L account
    Chart of accounts
    Cost element
    Chart of accounts
    Cost center category
    Client
    Order type
    Client
    Features
    You have the following options for entry of functional area in the master data of the specified objects:
    Entry of functional area
    You can enter the functional area provided that no postings exist for this object.
    Change functional area
    You can change a functional area that has already been entered as long as no postings exist.
    Where postings already exist, it is no longer possible to change the functional area.
    Postings that have already been made cannot be changed automatically. The functional area is derived only in the case of new postings.
    Where it is absolutely necessary to change the functional area for existing postings, you can find instructions on how to perform the change in Note 115840.

  • Functional areas vs. cost center groups for cost of goods sales

    What are the benefits of using functional areas over cost center groups when building your p&l for cost absorbtion or visa versa?  Which of the two is recommended?

    Hi,
    1: a P&L statement does not only contain cost-center related postings, you can have different CO-objects (Internal order, WBS-Element,...)but all of them contain the functional area in its master record.
    The P&L reporting structure (created via report painter) can use account groups but restricted to one functional area for porper P&L structure creation.
