To be able to report by business area at a header level

Question

Business area reporting at a header level in Procurement/AP Subject Areas
At present client is doing a large number of manual lookups in Excel to add Business area detail to certain OBI procurement reports. Reasons for why we are having to do this includes that the report is written at a header level but the business area detail is stored at a distribution level or the document has no distribution lines.
What client would therefore like is for us to devise solutions that would allow us to include the business area detail. Possible solutions that I can think of include doing a join between the employee name, preparer name and requestor name to the HR business area detail, and the way that the ‘Procurement and Spend - Employee Spend’ joins the employee name and approver name to the business area fields maybe something that you can review as a solution.
I am hoping that you can come up with a number of solutions which we can then explore in further detail.
The key subject area that we would like this business area detail to be available in is the ‘Financials - AP Transactions’ area but if would certainly be beneficial to have in the ‘Procurement and Spend - Purchase Orders’ and ‘Procurement and Spend - Purchase Requisitions’ subject areas as well if it is feasible.
Can any plz.. guide the possible soultions we can do with this CR

Bonjour,
Je suppose vu votre prénom que vous parlez français lol bien que l'anglais ne me pose pas de problème.
En fait, il s'agit de plusieurs factures (avec différentes business area) pour un même fournisseur.
Au moment de la F110, le système comptabilise le paiement via une seule pièce mais avec plusieurs postes (un par business area) et la contrepartie le compte banque.
La case n'est pas cochée pour le champ T001-XGSBE donc je ne pense pqs que le problème provienne de là.
