Problem of Functional Area in Allocation

Question

Dear All
We want to allocate some ADMIN Cost Centres which have "x" Functional Area with Secondary Cost Element (SCE) which *does not*  have any Functional Area to BRAND Cost Centre which doesnot have any Functional Area using a Secondary Cost Element (SCE) which has "Y" Functional Area.
  The Cycle is Dr & Cr the correct cost Centre,and forcing both Functional Are,so in the P&L report in the collector cost centers we see a debit still sitting in FA X (because it didnu2019t clear) and a credit in FA Y (because it was forced).
We tried everything within the cycle to make this work correctly; derive functional area checked and unchecked, each with forcing correct sender and receiver functional areas within the cycle and even removing the functional area from the SCE "Y" with various options above,but still the problem persists,Can any one Guide how to do ,is there any Note available
Thanks

Answer 1

HI,
check SAPNET note 764485, especially point 2 and 3:
"2. Set the functional area derivation of characteristics so that the functional area is already derived on the entry screen, and not when you are posting as is the case in earlier releases. For more information, see Note 740519.
To capitalize the functional area derivation on the entry screen, proceed as follows: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -> Tools -> Customer Enhancements -> Enhance Determination of Functional Area.
3. To set the update of the functional area in the CO totals tables, proceed as follows: Controlling -> General Controlling -> Include Characteristics in CO Totals Records. You can activate the update of the characteristics can independently."
