RCIPE00: GLT2 201 Balancing field bus.area in line item not filled

Question

Dear Guru,
We transfer posting payroll to FI with journal
Dr    Vendor Non Trade 1
Dr    Vendor Non Trade 2
Dr    Vendor Non Trade 3
Cr    Cross welfare (balance sheet acct.)    Bus.area SBY
Cr    Cross welfare (balance sheet acct.)    Bus.area CMO
Transfer can not posting with error message "Balancing field business area in line item 01 not filled"
I know this come from NewGL/Doc.Splitting, and HR do not apply distribution of liabilities. I read note 1039346 and still confusing about this.
I classify gl payable non trade as vendor, gl cross welfare as balance sheet
Doc.type AB as business transaction variant "unspecified posting"
Please your advice to handle it.
By the way, i looks way to assigned constant business area, however i could not find how to assigned constant to item category or relevant item.
regards,
Dewi

Since you are posting a FI journal I assume you are posting as FI-AP document (debiting actual vendor number). If this is the case, you should use other vendor related document type such as KA that is usually assigned to BTV 0300/100.
You are using document type AB which is usually assigned to BTV 0000/0001 that is unspecified category wherein system does not split rather user has to manually split. Suggest try using KA (make sure this is assigned to BTV 0300/100).
There is no functionaliy available for constant Business Area. You may consider using substitution rules or derivation
