Substitution for Functional area

We are on ECC 5.0
In SAP Note 740519 for deriving the functional area, it mentions a substitution and a callup point can be used for application area FI.
Can someone shed some light on what this means and how to determine the substitution?
Thanks!
Linda

Hi Linda,
ECC5 come out with the new GL where in your case, the functional area is available in standard table FAGLFLEXT, ledger 0l.
If you need to substitute the value, then you have to create a substitution rule.

  • Sustitution for Functional Area in CO

    Hi,
    I have defined a substitution step for functional area. When I run activity allocation I receive a messge (KI176) that the functional area has been changed. Despite this, when I review the final document, the functional area is the standard pre-substitution one.
    General explanation - the original functional area is derived from the sender cost cented. I am changing it to a different one.
    Please advice,
    Avihay Efrati

    Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

  • IDOC for Functional Areas

    Hi,
    I am looking for some IDOC for the creation of Functional Areas.
    Transaction :  FM_FUNCTION
    Table : TFKB
    I have not find any yet, do you know how can i fine the IDOC or maybe it does not exist any IDOC for Functional Areas?
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Zheng

    As far as I know, there is no standard IDoc for it. However, to give you a pointer, you can look at FM FM_FUNC_AREA_CREATE or BUS0023 (Functional Area).
    Thanks & regards,

  • Open hub destination of text and attribute for Functional Area

    Hi Expert
    I have a requirement to accommodate both attribute ( 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR)  and text ( 0FUNCT_LOC_TEXT ) for functional area in open hub destination .For this a DSO has been created from both 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR, 0FUNCT_LOC_TEXT data sources .Problem is that DSO has 0FUNCT_AREA ( Functional Area ) as only key fields . So text for both english ( EN ) and Dutch ( NL) for particular 0FUNCT_AREA not getting loaded .If we assign both 0LANGU and 0FUNCT_AREA as composite key of dso , data from attribute transformation is loaded as blank as there is no language filed in attribute data source ( 0FUNCT_LOC_ATTR ).   Please let me know how can I design to accommodate both text for different language and functional area for open hub destination  .
    I know that I can create separate open hub destination for master data TEXT and Attribute.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Saikat

    HI Saikat,
    You can create an additional characteristics counter and make it a key field in the DSO.After that we can populate this characteristics in the end routine .It value would increase by 1 everytime  different text comes for the same functional area.
    Sample code
    data: counter type n,
             w_farea type /bio/oifunc_area.
    Sort result_package by func_area.
    count =0.
    *checking whether we have the same functional area or we have a different functional area.
    Loop at result_package assigning <Result_fields>.
    if w_farea is initial or w_farea = <result_fields>-func_area.
    count = count +1.
    else
    count =1.
    endif.
    w_farea= <result_fields>-func_area.
    <Result_fields>-zcount = count.
    ENDLOOP.
    Clear w_farea.
    This way the value of counter would get increased by one everytime a new text comes for the same functional area.We can have any number of texts for the same functional area by this method.
    The only issue would be when some delta update comes for the existing text in this method.If you are doing a full load to the DSO from the datasource, then there would be no issue with this method.

  • G/L Account - Field for Functional Area in IDoc?

    I'm experimenting with creating G/L Account data outside of SAP using IDoc's (GLMAS01).  However, I'm having trouble finding a field in that IDoc for the Functional Area of the account.  Is anyone familiar with this IDoc, and know whether or not there is a standard field for "Functional Area" or if I have to extend the IDoc?

    Have you tried the field FUNC_AREA on segment E1SKA1M?
    You could use WE60 to display the definition of GLMAST01 Idoc and look for the fields and segments on the document.
    Hope this helps.

  • Custom Search Help for Functional Area of Cost Centre(KS01/KS02)

    Hi,
    I need to implement a custom search help and custom enhancement for the field Functional Area in Basic Data tab of Cost Centre Create/Change(KS01/KS02) transactions. Details of the requirement are as below:
    1. There will be a custom relation for the Cost Centre category and Functional Area which was maintained thru a SAP standard table TKA05 and a custom table.
    2.When the relation to Cost Centre category and Functional Area is a one to one it exist in the TKA05 and if its one to many it will be maintained in the custom table.
    3. The requirement is when the Cost Center to Functional area is maintained in table TKA05(One to One) in this case the corresponding Functional Area needs to be populated automatically after entering the cost centre and pressing a enter key by user.
    4.When the Cost Centre Category and Functional area does not exist in table TKA05 and existing in custom table(One to Many) in this case the F4 should be enabled for user selection with the list of Functional area values corresponding to the cost centre category entered that are maintained in the custom table.
    As per the functionality provided by SAP the input help(F4) of the field Functional area in Cost Center does not have any relation with Cost Centre Category. The existing F4 is from the Value Table(TFKB) attached to the domain of FKBER.
    Please provide your valuable inputs to implement the above requirement. Your input will be rewareded.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Prasad.

    kalyani,
    i can see your requirement in below way..
    as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
    so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH                        
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH     INTERFACECONTROLLER
    so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
    but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

  • Example for Functional Area Master Data in Private Company

    Hi Expert
    From my ERP experience with the State Enterprises, there are obvious dimensions to segregate the Functional Area Master Data of each Fund.
    Such as the School Business, sometime they use Functional Area to divide the fund to use with Education Activity, Research Activity and Other Social Services Activity. This dimension oftenly have the direction from the government to be divided.
    Could you please advice for example of Functional Area Master Data to be applied with the Private Company? I need to provide more example for my client to apply the Functional Area to use with, due to they are the independent firm that would like to use Functional Area.
    Rgds,
    Ton

    Hi,
    In private sector you might have similar segregation. For example, I was involved in the project where functional area was used to distinguish R&D expenses from operational expenses on the same fund. I.e. if you can always look at this as additional dimension in your budget management framework, if other dimensions are not sufficient for the efficient reporting. However, you should also bear in mind, that functtional area has other functions (sorry for tautology) which lie more in financial and not budgetary domain.

  • Cost center planning by functional area

    hi gurus,
    The client needs to do manual planning in CO (KP06) by cost center/cost element/fund/functional area. This data is later gets rolled up in FM to formulate the budget data. The client wants to enter all the account assignment manually except for functional area. They want that system automatically derive the functional area based on the cost center (one to one relationship). I tried the CO substitution but this functionality is only for actual data and not plan data. Any suggestion how I can derive the functional area in CO planning based on cost center?

    Hi,
    Functional area is required for cost of sales accounting in Finance. It has got nothing to do with Cost Center planning. Functional area shall not be visible in controlling. Pl update this constraint to the client and go ahead with Cost center/cost element planning with necessary one to one relationship with Fund center, etc.
    Trust this helps much!
    Cheers!

  • Different functional areas during assessment cycles

    We have an assessment cycle set up executed via KSU5.
    We have the sender cost center assigned to functional area 300.  In this case, the receiving cost center is also functional area 300.
    All of the financial transactions (journal entries, invoices, goods receipts and depreciation posting) are all assigned to functional area 300.
    However, when the assessment cycle is run, a portion of the credit to the sender cost center is assigning itself to functional area 200.  I cannot tie this out to a single transaction or even a single (or combination of) cost elements.
    What could be causing my credits to post to two different functional areas if all G/L accounts, all transactions and all affected cost centers are the same functional area?
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thanks for the reply.  I checked GGB1 and didn't see anything that would pertain to a substitution affecting functional area 200. 
    Are there any other places I should check?
    Thanks

  • Error in ME51N - Account object functional area differs in asset master

    We are in the middle of going thru an upgrade -
    Funds & Functional Area were display fields in the old system but it was recetly changed to required fields in the Asset Master Record (AS01). Now when I try to create a Purchase Requisition for procuring the asset, I get this error - Account object functional area differs from that in asset master record. Any suggestions?

    hi
    please check the Asset Master for functional area.

  • PCA Functional Area Report Problem With Co-Product Settlements

    I have built a profit center functional area report for use in a manufacturing client.  The reason is because the factory cost centers flow to the product cost (via costing sheets) and the administrative cost centers are expensed monthly.  However, SAP seems to have no other approach to handle the issue where common expense elements must be reported in these two separate sections.  Anyway, here is my problem:
    After creating the functional areas and matching them to each cost center appropriately and then applying a different functional area to orders, I see that settlement of co-products causes my report to zero out the functional area that should match the overhead cost centers.  These obviously should not be impacted by settlement and I see that they are not impacted in the transactional data.  However, the functional area report shows a different story.  I believe it somehow has to do with the unusual way that co-product split up and settle versus other types of orders.  I may need some sort of subtitution rule, but like I said, the raw transactional data looks correct and the report should bring in these values. 
    I used ledger 8A if that helps.  I am sure I missed some small thing somewhere.
    David

    It looks to me like the New G/L may have taken care of some of my issue.  The FI reconciliation G/L account (690000 usually) includes the secondary cost center postings as well as the secondary order postings.  The cost center side of the secondary transaction reflects the functional area for cost centers (Factory Exp or Admin Exp in my case), whereas the order side of the secondary posting shows the functional area associated with order consumption (Net Consumption in our case). 
    This appears to mean that the standard report for Functional Areas from FI should work to break up the income statement for manufacturing purposes.  This report is S_PLO_86000029.  That report looks to me like it will replace my need for a PCA based Functional Area Report.

  • Functional area error.

    hi friends...I need a help with this question...very urgent...
    I am getting an error message of " P&L not complete and functional areas missing"
    I dont exactly know what needs to be done for that.
    How do i define a missing fuctional area ?

    Hi,
    In IMG under the "Enterprise structure" you will define the Functional areas.
    Also you can define:IMG-.>Fin.Accting basic settings->Define Func.Area.In the next step,you enter Functional area:IMG-.>Fin.Accting basic settings->enter Functional area.->enter Functiona area in GL master.
    Once entered,the system will ask for Functional area for the relevant GL a/c.
    If usefull assign points.

  • Cost-of-sales accounting / DUMMY-substitution for CO posting w/o func. area

    Dear experts,
    we activated Cost-of-sales accounting (special ledger - no use of NewGL functionalities).
    We use the SAP "Standard substitition" in FI to make sure that all postings on P&L accounts go to special ledger. If no functional area can be derived, posting is assigend to Dummy functional area.
    So far so good.
    My question is: Is it possible to set up a "similar" substituition in case of CO postings with secondary cost element (e.g. Internal activity allocation, Overhead Rates) on other CO-object without functional area.
    e.g. Internal activity allocation from Cost center to production order. No functional area assigned to production order.
    I hope you unterstand my question for this issue.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    regards,
    Butch

    thanks for your answer.
    I added the filed FKBER in table VWTYGB01.
    Now I can select field "functional area" for CO Substitution.
    nevertheless substitution does not work and set functional area on Dummy FB 9990 for CO postings to CO-object without Functional area.
    Thats curious because I maintained exactly the same Substitution on an other SAP System (IDES Test System) and here it works.
    Any ideas?
    Are there further settigs required after maintenance of table VWTYGB01??
    Thanks in advance

    Srinivasan-
    For creating a Generic extractor based on a FM, you first of all need to know what is going to be your structure.. i.e. what all fields you need to pull from what all tables. A functional consultant may help you identify the exact DB tables.
    Once you know them, hand over the requirement and the pdf mentioned by Krishna to the ABAP guy, he would be able to take this up further.
    Also decide 1st whether you would be using a full load or delta. There is a slight difference in the way they are built.
    Let me know how it goes.
