Substitute Business Area

Hi all,
I have a small problem with the substitution of the business area during the FI / CO Reconciliation.
Hope sb can help me.
We use the new general ledger with real-time CO integration. On changing the functional area CO postings are realtime in FI.
We don't use the Business Area in CO, but in FI.
The information for Business Area can be derived from a customertable. No problem here.
BUT: Where are we able to substitute the Business Area during an Assessment (KSU5). What's the right Callup Point and why it down't work?
1. Callup point CO Line Item: Field COBL-GSBER is there but it doesn't work.
2. Callup point Cost of Sales: Field RCL_ICCF-RBUSA included in table GB01 but it doesn't work. (Functional Area works great!)
3. Callup point FI Line Item: Field BSEG-GSBER included in table GB01 but it doesn't work.
Is it impossible to substitute the Business Area? Or where are my mistakes?
Thank you in advance for your help.
King Regards
Philip

hi Philip,
you should go for #3. On the other hand there is a field in table GB01, called BEXCLUDE. That contains an 'X' for BSEG-GSBER by default. You have to remove the X, than you can substitute the field. You'll need a small program for that, there is no ready-made maintenance transaction for this table. For the substitution itself, i would suggest to use a substitution exit.
hope this helps

  • Substitute business area after document splitting or when creating document

    Hi experts,
    I have to do a substitution of business area after document spliting, but i saw in previous threads that it's not allowed by SAP to modify a document after spliting. So if i do this substitution when I create a document, for example in f-02 or fb01,is it possible? And how can I do? With user-exit or Badi?
    I have a specific table which contains all business areas which I should put into the document:
    BUKRS, GSBER
    CompA, BA 1
    CompB, BA 2
    CompC, BA 3
    Thank you for giving me some ideas.

    If each Company code has a different business area, why do you need to populate it in the first place?
    The definition of a business area is that is can cover a range of Company Codes, but not be directly linked to one. I would suggest your use for Business Area is wrong.
    You are right about changes after splitting, however I would check with an ABAP'er on this or OSS.
    Also, if you are saying Business Area is Company code dependent, then there should not be a problem as the Business Area posted to will be correct, as an accounting document can only be for a single Company Code.
    You should have your business are validation, or substituion prior to document splitting.
    Hope this helps, award points if useful.

           I have define the substitution as :
    Prerequisite :

  • Business Area Withholding Tax

    Dear Expert,
    Kindly need your help.
    We have configured Withholding type for payment posting.
    When posting document by using the F-53 Business Area for Withholding Tax is same with line item vendor.
    How to make Business Area for Withholding Tax same with line item payment (Cash/Bank) NOT with line item vendor ?
    Example :
    Issue :
    Vendor   (Business Area : 6100)
          Bank (Business Area : 3000)
           Withholding Tax ( Business Area : 6100)
    Our Requirement :
    Vendor   (Business Area : 6100)
          Bank (Business Area : 3000)
           Withholding Tax ( Business Area : 3000)
    Thanks and Regards,
    YL

    Hi Sudhir,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Our requirement is valid for Cross company code Transaction
    Here is the detail :
    Vendor   (Company Code : 6000; Business Area : 6100)
          Bank (Company Code : 3000; Business Area : 3000)
           Withholding Tax ( Company Code : 3000 ; Business Area : 3000)
    Above solution maybe can't be applied for cross company code transaction because the program only substitute business area not company code.
    Thank and Regards,

  • Business area not picking up for substitution...

    Hi
    I have created susbstitution for GL account..for substituting business area for GL account....(tax GL account
    Tax line item is automatically created in document.....i want business area to be pickep up for the same.
    We want substitution create for Business area updating ;- When Document has 4 line item at the time of TAX and TDS line item the Business area not update, MIRO Document also not update the Business area.
    Please reply
    thanks

    Dear Vijay,
    Please kindly read the SAP note number 199886     Business area in tax line
    In the value-added tax line items, the field "Business area" is NEITHER
    automatically filled NOR can you enter a value manually.
    Postings to VAT accounts must be made WITHOUT business area. The reason
    for this is that the field "Business area" does NOT exist in the tax
    data. Therefore,the advance return for tax on sales/purchases can also
    only generate postings WITHOUT business area and these postings must
    correspond exactly to the original tax postings in your account
    assignments. Otherwise, the tax accounts would have steadily increasing
    business area balances.
    Unfortunately I must inform you that the business area is not available
    for substitution because it can cause inconsistences in AM,CO and MM
    modules.
    Substituting the B.A.field is a modification to the standard SAP
    system. To make the business area field substitutable you must have
    written an ABAP to update table GB01 for the GSBER field, this is
    all explained in SAP note 42615.
    I hope this helps.

  • Cash journal and Business Area assignment

    Dear Expters,
    I have created cash journal with code 1000 and 2000, and similar Business area's BLR and MUM respectivly.
    when I clear any pament from cash journal 1000 which is belongs to buiness area MUM (Cross Business transction) system entry is passing like this
      BA         G/L
    MUM   EXPENSES G/L  ....Dr
    MUM   Cash G/L ...... Cr
    but here the problem is cash journal is belongs to BLR cash should reduce from BLR buiness area.  
    As per My requirement I  need  EXP g/l  is MUM business area and Cash g/l  should be  BLR.  
      BA         G/L
    MUM   EXPENSES G/L  ....Dr
    BLR   Cash G/L ...... Cr
    we are able to give business area for only EXP g/l.  Is there any possiblety when ever i post any transacton through cash journal  1000 business area shoulod pick BLR for Cash G/L.  similarly for cash journal 2000 business area should pick MUM even if i given different BA for expense g/l.
    Edited by: chandu on Aug 27, 2010 10:07 PM

    Split works only for Expenses not Cash.  Normally BA is copied from the Expenses GL.  I dont think even substitution will work here.  Still you can try the below :
    Substitution Replace field values - Line Item
    Prerequisite :
    Transaction Code = 'FBCJ' AND Co.Code = 'XXXX' AND Document Type = 'DZ' (or anything that you have defined in your config)
    Substitute :
    Business Area {Constant Value} = 'XXXX' (your required value)
    After defining the above, activate it for your Co. Code in OBBH.

  • Business Area Substitution in OBBH

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to substitute business area in accounting document generated during post goods issue in VL01N or VL02N.
    Our business requirement is as follows:
    Profit center (eg. PRCTR1)is assigned in material master. But while creating sales order another profit center (eg. PRCTR2)has to get picked up through 0KEM (Profit center substitution). System is taking correctly the second profit center (eg. PRCTR2) which we have given in susbtitution.
    System is identifying the cost center which is assigned to PRCTR2 through OKB9. Accordingly system is picking business area say 01 from the cost center master record during PGI for accounting document.
    But our requirement is to change this business area 01 to 02 through FI substitution.
    we have written logic in OBBH as follows:
    BKPF-BUKRS = '100' AND BKPF-BLART = 'WL' AND
    BSEG-HKONT = '1954' OR BSEG-HKONT = '5751' AND
    BSEG-WERKS = '100'
    Please adivse the logic anything further to add  to replace the business area and also suggest if the substitution does not work in FI area for other application area tcodes like VL01N / VL02N.
    Thanks in advance.
    Venkat

    Substitution to business area is one of taboos SAP clearly dissuades from in OSS notes.
    Business area is controlled by below customizings, and any more requirement should not be addressed.
    IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Logistics - General > Assign Business Area to Plant/Valuation Area and Division (OMJ7)
    IMG: Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales and Distribution > Business Area Account Assignment > Assign Business Area by Sales Area (OVF1, OVF2)
    The relationship between cost center and business area is 1 by 1. I guess you need to have separate profit center/cost center for the different business area.
    I know it can be done. GB01 right? We did that in the past. To be precise, one guy did that. That guy later realized he messed up the standard functionality F.5E.

  • Substitution rule for STO - changing business area.

    Hello Experts,
    We are transferring stock from one plant to another plant. Each plant is business area. We are doing stock transfer at some profit element of Rs. 250. Transfer is done from Business Area D002 to Business Area D001.
    When we do outbound delivery, it posts following entry:
    Stock A/c... Dr (Business Area D001) Rs.1250
        To Stock A/c (Business Area D002) Rs.1000
        To Profit on transfer (Business Area D001) Rs.250
    However, I want to substitute business area for third line. I want that, business area D001 should be replaced with business area D002. However, there is some substitution rule for the same. Please tell me, how this substitution can be done.
    Please help
    Deepak

    What is your price control for your material for both plant ?
    What is the process for your stock transfer ?
    However, as of my knowledge, you can't achieve this accounting entry in standard.
    See, if you are using MAP for material for both plant, then accounting entry will be
    Stock A/C debit for plant D001
    Stock A/C credit for plant D002.
    If you are using standard price for material, then accounting entry will be
    Stock A/C debit for plant D001
    Stock A/C credit for plant D002
    Price diff account credit or debit (as per the price difference for material price for both plant).

  • Business Area incorrect

    Hi,
    We have following issue:
    1. Customer invoice raised for 10000 in Business Area 1010, Company code 1000
    2. Payment received by Company code 5000
    Issue:
    When user do F-28 for bank incoming, user enters the Company code 5000 & in the bank column enters bank incoming GL & leave the Business area field blank then after selecting the company code 1000 cusotmer invoice, system copies the BA 1010 in bank incoming GL as well as in Inter company GL accounts.
    How can we restrict this practice assuming user normally forgets to maintain it?
    Apart from GL field status field group option what are those other options to do?
    Regards

    Create the Substitution logic as below in OBBH/ GGB1
    Pre-requisites:-
    Transaction code (SY-TCODE) = F.28
    AND
    GL Account (BSEG-HKONT) = your Inter company GL accounts
    Substitute:-
    Business Area (BSEG-GSBER) = as you need

  • Business Area Validation or Substitution

    Hi,
    We would like to validate or substitute Business area field.
    Can anybody tell us about this.
    Regards,
    Priti

    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.

  • Substitution rule for Business area in F-02

    Dear SAP gurus,
    The client has 2 plants at different locations. 2 plants are created as business areas.
    Our requirement is, when users at bus area 1 are posting expenditure in f-02, the field business area should be automatically filled with '1000'(bus area 1). the users need not manually update the field Business area since they only operate and post in that location. Same functionality is needed at plant 2 also.
    I came to know that this requirement can be fulfilled with Substitutions in SAP.
    Can anybody please tell me how to write a substitution rule for the above requirement. Any other ideas are also welcome.
    Please help me in this issue.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello,
    You have to do two things.
    1. First you write the substitution in GGB1
    2. Assign the substituion to your comany code OBBH
    In OBBH, write substituion at line item level of the document.
    If the plant = A
    Substitute business area with A
    Check if there are any standard substitutions are available in your system
    just for your reference.
    Hope this resolves your problem.

  • Substitution of Business Area for Tax Line Items for Invoices posted in MM

    Hi
    We have one Business Area for every company code. A substitution rule has been created to populate Business Area in Tax Line Items, while booking vendor invoice. The substitution rule has been defined as
    Prerequite
    Company Code = 1234 and GL = 1323232
    Substitution
    Business Area = 6668
    The system is working fine, when the Vendor Invoice is posted through FI. However, when the vendor invoice is generated through MIRO or MIR7, the Business Area is not substituted.
    In Table VWTYGB01, we have maintained BSEG-GSBER as a field allowed for substitution with Boolean Class 09.
    We have created the susbstitution rule for Text and Assignment also and the rules are working fine for all document posted through FI and MM

    Hi
    Business Area is a sensitive field, agreed. However, the substitution rule is working fine for FI posted documents and the issue is in MM generated documents.

  • Error with Business area and profit center

    Hello Guru's,
    I have an issue when posting the stock through t-code MB1C and 521 movement type. We have assigned business area and profit centers for plants as below:
    For Plant 1000,
    Business Area:       1100
    Profit center:           1100
    And For Plant 2000,
    Business Area:        1200
    Profit center:             1200
    But when I am assigning plant 2000, and assigning business area and profit center as 1200 respectively. System by default is picking as 1100 with a warning message.
    Please help this resolving this issue, I want the system to take the correct assigned BA and Profit center.
    Regards,
    Varun Siddharth

    Hi Varun,
    One of the possible ways is, to assign a business area to the cobination of Plant and Division in OMJ7 (Assignment is possible for other combinations as well). Later you can define a substitution rule so that, a profit center is substituted to the combination of Plant and Business Area.
    Hope it helps you.
