    Hi,
    Functional areas are used to analyse Cost of Sales Accounting. By this you can analyse your organization's expenses by your funtional area like Finance, Marketing, Production, HR and so. If you want to default functional areas in to document then GL master has field of functional area where you can map it.
    Steps for Cost of Sales Accounting.
    1. Crete functional areas - OKBD
    2. Create substitution for cost of sales accounting with call up point 5 - GGB1
    3. Activate cost of sales accounting under SPRO>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Company Code>Cost of Sales Accounting>Activate Cost of Sales Accounting for Preparation

  • Functional Area determination in MIRO postings

    We are on ECC 5.0
    We had A/P invoices were posted via MIRO where the account assignment was changed. 
    Right now we have:
    -Functional areas defined in all cost center master records.
    -Functional areas defined for a select group of balance sheet accounts.
    -Configured a special PO type Z to allow POs to be created against balance sheet accounts
    The scenario is this:
    When the account assignment of a PO is changed during MIRO invoice entry, it seems as though the functional area is still being derived off of the original account assignment.  So it posts it to the right cost center, wrong functional area.
    Is there a way to have MIRO re-derive the functional area during invoice entry?
    Also, when I tried to correct the issue through a manual journal entry via FB50, I received the error message: "
    An entry in field Functional Area is not permitted for account 732000." Message no. F5394
    Does anyone know what might cause this error message?  I tried to change the field status group for that GL account by making functional area optional and tried the je again with the same error message. 
    Any idea how to correct the prior mispostings? 
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    i did nt understand what s functional area determination ! can you pls explain further. If you are talking about sales area then yes if the customer belongs to more than one sales area the system would give a pop up and you can select what you want.
    you can also change later to the sales area required provided no subsequent processing of the sales order has taken place.

  • What does 'init functions are not allowed in this objset' mean and how can it be fixed?

    We have added some init functions to the beginning of the obj.conf file so that we can proxy off to Weblogic.
    However when we try to run the Web server we get an error message 'init functions are not allowed in this objset'.
    The syntax seems to be correct. Has anyone any idea how this can be fixed?

    You are probably using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 or higher; starting with 6.0, the web server does not allow Init directives to appear on the obj.conf file. Instead, place your Init directives in the magnus.conf file.
    This is documented in the Installation and Migration Guide at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/50/ig/migrate.htm#20780 in the Programmer's Guide at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/50/pg/1-intro.htm#13565 and in the NSAPI Programmer's Guide at http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/50/nsapi/02_objcn.htm#13097

  • Functional Area field not getting populated in the AUFK table

    Hi Friends,
    The table AUFK is the table for Internal Order master data.
    The issue which we are facing is:
    In a particular Order type, the field 'Functional Area' is suppressed in the field status group for the order master data.
    But the cost centers which are maintained in the order master has the functional area field populated with value.
    In the table AUFK, the functional area field is populated for some internal orders and not populated for others. In all cases it should pick the functional area from the cost center which is maintained in the internal order.
    Please guide us about what can be the possible reason(s) for populating the field in some cases while not populating in other cases.
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Shilpi

    Hi,
    maintain the functional area in order master data to ensure 100% functional area is available in AUFK.
    I can't tell you the reason why its sometimes appearing and sometimes not bur FUNC_AREA is not picked from responsible/requesting cost center (from master data).
    If in customizing of internal order order types a "model-order" is assigned with maintained functional area, this func_area is taken if you create a new order for this ordertype.
    Best regards, Christian

    (We can create Functional Area if we log on with ENGLISH)
    [Procedure]
    1. Launch Job Architecture module with Japanese
    2. Job Architecture => Create Functional Area (under Tasks)
    3. Key in [Title] and [Abbreviation], and then click [Add]
    4. Error message "Not able to load DLL or CLASS" appears
    I have already confirmed that if I do same thing with English,

  • How to post cost of goods sold to io per functional area and account determ

    1. We create a sales order with reference to a revenue IO with functional area ABC01.
    2. We create a delivery document on the sales order and goods issue XYZ.
    3. We expect the cost of goods sold for the coal to hit an existing IO with functional area ABC02 based on account determination for XYZ.
    4. Instead we see both the revenue and the COGS hitting the revenue IO on the Sales roder.
    5. For now, the accountants responsible for those companies have been making journal entries all along to correct the postings.
    Please advise what needs to be done for step 3 to happen so that the extra step 5 need not be done.
    (IO - internal order)
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    What is the IO you have assigned in the Sales Order please?
    Just check the Sales Order - Account assignement, so that you can able to change if there is a different IO.
    System won't pick up IO automayically until unless you secify in Sales order to done OKB9 settings.
    Chek the above
    Thanks

  • Several Standard functions are not working properly in CRM Web

    We are working on different ABAP developments embedded on a Web environment, and we are facing some issues with different standard functions. This functions such as GUI_DOWNLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD, MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT, POPUP_TO_CONFIRM which are used in the ABAP developments work fine on the GUI environment while in the WEB environment they do not work.
    This functions allow us to perform files uploads and downloads in .txt format as well as in .xls format.
    Some of the suggested solutions were to solve this by using BSP application or Web Dynpros.
    Does this WEB tool contain any update, SAP note or any function which may replace the 4 functions mentioned above is order to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,
    Alexis Chavero.

    There are no standard functions in Web UI  that replicate what these functions do in GUI. This was discussed before [here|Read file from presentation server (like GUI_UPLOAD);. As far as I know, we have to code ourselves. One way to try is published [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWebUI-UploadingdatafromExcelfiles].

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Satellite C660-17L - Some TouchPad functions are not working

    My touch pad functions are not working:
    - I can't use it to scroll up and down
    - I can't use it to zoom.
    What should I do to fix it?

    Yes the model number is Satellite C660-17L
    And no I didn't install the touchpad driver.
    I Have had this laptop for less than a month, I started it one day and tried to scroll but it didn't work.
    Also i tried to search for the advanced settings under the mouse option but I couldn't find it.
    When I enter the search directly into the search bar, the mouse option comes up but when I click on it, it asks me if I want to uninstall the synaptics driver.
    I have no idea what this means but I click no and it comes up with all the mouse setting options.
    What should I do now?

  • ROLE OF FUNCTIONAL AREA

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me whats the role of functional area in projects.
    This is defined in the project profile and flows down to the project objects.
    Thanks
    N.Somesh

    Hi,
    In my opinion, functional are has nothing to do with which costs are to be picked but once there is some cost, functional area is recorded in FICO documents. On the basis of the functional division, cost of sales accounting displays where costs occur in the organization.
    In your case, functional area in project will be considered for postings. Refer this:
