Thanks in Advance.

Hi Syed,
The Validation can be applied both at the wbs & project level....
1. For Project Or wbs:
SPRO VIEW: Project systems --structures - operative structures- WBS-- maintain validation
click on the project or wbs as required.
Create a new validation & name it. create a step inside the rule... by clicking validation & step buttons available.
Now give the prerequisites You can give project profile , type & BA as prerequisities for your requirement by selecting the same from the table fields on the right of the screen
next for check --- select the plant field and give the value..as required for the BA.
for msg --- you have to create a msg type and maintain the number...here and save your validation.
For three BA you can have three steps maintained in the validation...
Assign this validation to your required project profile and tick the Auto validation button available in the profile.
Hope this helps you.

Plant & business area validation in asset creation

Dear All,
Am working in a plant & business area validation which will fire the error msg when wrong plant is assigned at time of asset creation. Issue is for a company we have 19 business area and each business area assigned to various plant. In order to avoid the individual step for each business area, have merged two or more business area in pre-requiste section and correspondingly plant had been validated in check section. But when am inserting two check conditions, its not even working as per the logic, For ex :
Pre-Requiste :
( ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1101' ) AND (
ANLA-BUKRS = '1300' AND ANLZ-GSBER = '1102' )
Check :
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1307' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1308' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1309' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1304' ) AND
( ANLZ-WERKS = '1305' OR ANLZ-WERKS = '1306' ANLZ-WERKS = '1344' )
For the above condition system not validating as per business area since if we entering business area 1101 and entering the plant which related to 1102 business area, system not throwing the error msg where as if we put a single condition in a step its working fine.
Kindly suggest me how to overcome this by avoiding individual step creation for each business area.

Hi,
I have chnaged my validation in the following way as follows,
Pre-requiste :
Co code=XXXX
Check:
Business area = XXXX AND Plant = XXXX.
This condition is working fne for one business area, where as if i include more than one business area in the check section system not validating the condition, in a step its validating only one condition. Since 21 business area available for a co code its not feasible to create individual step.
Kindly suggest me is there any other alternative way to overcome this.

CO Validation check Business Area

Hi gurus, so my request is to give me solution about my validation.
i wish skip business area to be fill in field - business area in KS01.
My validation is:
Prerequisite: Controll. area = '1000'
Check:Company Code IN COMPANYCODES (set all company codes ) AND not Business Area in BA(set all
Business Area)
Message: error (e)
but nothing happend - what i create wrong? my business area is activ in company codes.

Srinivas is right. The validation only works when a CO document is being created due to a posting or allocation and not at the point of filling in master data. If you have business area active in your company code then you must include a business area. I think the best you can do in this case is to either deactivate the business area in company or create a dummy business area.

Customisd err message at MIRO - Business area V/s company code validation

Hi experts,
We have simple validation for company code V/S Business area check in place ,
While doing MIRO system throws error for a particular company code and Business area
combination the set error message ( customized - Business are does not match with company code)
This validation has given as a sub node (step) of another consolidation trx. types against GL validation (that was in place earlier, thats why)
But when we do through F-02 (Journal entry ),F-43(vendor invoice), F-22(customer invoce) for the same combination system passes the entry !!!
what may be the cause ?
the error message is the standard one set -251 this message is custom created at Validation (GGB0)
Business area doesnt belongs to the company code
Message no. /ASU/GENERAL251
One more thing Noticed
The Material PO is a account assigned (K) cost center and the
cost center Business area is 1003.
In PO plant is 1003 and i checked the MSEG the plant shows 1003
But in Logistics assignment the Business area 1001 is tagged to Plant 1003
not THE BUSINESS AREA 1003 !! . I mean at plant/valuation area to Business ara configuration
the valuation area 1003 is assigned to Business are 1001 not to Busienss are 1003!!!

Business Area & Plant not picked in CIN entries while doing MIRO

At the time of performing MIRO, the automated entries related to cenvat clearing account for excise in CIN are made by system.
At the time of excise capturing the Business Area and Plant are picked up at line item for Cenvat Clearing Account.
But at the time of MIRO the Business Area and Plant are not picked at line item for Cenvat Clearing Account.
The client requires the segregation of the entries on the basis of Plant / Business Area.

Dear Chandru,
Link plant and division to your business area and save (OMJ7).

Try Validation for accounting documents & create the validation of line item.
Seek help of your FICO consultant for to create the validation

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? how to do it?

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes?
what are the configurations?
thanks

Dear Humility,
If, I am not wrong, Business Area is assigned to Company Code via Finance (i.e. NO Direct assignment, but can be used across company code). You can assign a business area to an org. object through the account assignment tab.
Business areas are generally company-code independent. You can post to them from any company code. The Business area field shows up as an additional account assignment when posting to an account as long as the field is turned on in configuration. The field can be made a required entry during posting.
If certain company codes are not active in specific business areas, you can use a validation to prevent postings to this business area from the company codes specified.
Important Transactions, related to Business Area Configuration:
OX03     Create Business Area
OMJ7     assign Business Area to Plant / Valuation Area and Division
OVF2     Org Unit: Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule
OVF0     Org Unit: Business Area Determination rule
OVF1     Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule Slsorg/DstCh

Business Area field should not get translate while doing allocations in co

Dear All,
In ecc 6.0 when we will be allocating expenses through assessment and Distribution the system credits sender cost center and debits receiver cost center,the same will be applicable for Business Area also.
But my client is having plant =business area for which they are making financial statements business area wise.
The client wants its business area not to get affected by above allocations ,Is there any method of restricting costs to remain in same business area and not getting translated to another business area.
Example :                    cost center           profit center           business area
expenses                      1011                   1001                     101
allocation from cctr to cctr 1012 which is having pctr 1002 and business area 102
expenses                      1012                   1002                       102
So my requirement is the system should not update business area 102
Thanks and regards
vijay

Hi Vijay,
Profit Center is derived basing on Assignments. If you have assigned a Profit Center in the Cost Center Master
Data, obviously for whatever the postings that take place in that Cost Center, will be posted to Profit Center also
(Statistical).
In your case, Cost Center 1011 and 1012 have been assigned to different Profit Centers 1001 and 1002. So,
conceptually what the system is doing is correct.
You want to restrict the postings to happen to Business Areas. I suggest you, this is not problem of
stopping/restricting the transaction postings but You have to restructre your Cost Centers and Profit Centers.
It's rather a Business Process / Structure change required than technical requirement in the system by restricting
the postings.
Pls revert back for further discussion...

Business Area Balance sheet

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have enabled business area balance sheet in Company code global parameters. At the end of everymonth our accountants having the following problem.
For Reconciliation accounts(vendor, customer etc.) and automatic posting accounts (tax, cash discount a/cs etc...) they have to give business area manually. For manual posting a/cs we are doing either FSG or FI Validation for business area. Is there anyway we can get rid of giving business area manually at the month-end for reconciliation and automatic posting accounts.
Thanks
Kishore

Hi,
For Blank Business Area in the Balance Sheet item, please execute Transaction F.5D and F.5E for the Balance Sheet Items. These transaction will post Inter Business Area Postings to balance the Business Area Balance Sheet. For the Profit and Loss Account like the discount Account, you need to execute the transaction F.5F (Profit and Loss Adjustment). However, be careful, this transaction should be executed last as part of your month end closing after all accounting documents have been posted because this transaction will post entries as many times as the transaction is executed.
Hope this helps

Mahendra
