Z1-015 Error "Enter Business Area" in BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE

Question

Hi All,<br/><br/>
Here is a scenario that has totally confused me and I don't know what to do. Any guidance in this area will be highly appreciated.<br/><br/>
I am using BAPI BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE for MIRO. Our client gets invoices that contains both PO lines and some Non PO lines. For the PO lines I am populating the BAPI_INCINV_CREATE_ITEMDATA table and for the non po lines I am populating the BAPI_INCINV_CREATE_GL_ACCOUNTDATA table. In the structure BAPI_INCINV_CREATE_GL_ACCOUNT I am also populating the Bus_Area field with the Business Area value along with other values. The header Bus_Area is also populated with business area code. <br/><br/>
However, when I try to post the invoice the bapi return me a message: Z1 015 "Enter Business Area" and the invoice does not get booked in SAP, <br/><br/>
I have tried searching this forum and also googled about it, but I got no help in this regard. Please help me out in understanding this problem. I am attaching the code below for ease of understanding my problem. I am using SAP .Net Connector for the purpose. However, any guide related to this error (may not be .Net specific) will be appreciated.<br/><br/>

Answer 1

Hi,
This error was mis leading. If CalculateTax flag is set to 'X' and there is balance in the transaction currency then, instead of giving "Balance in transaction currency" error "Enter Business Area" error comes.
There must be some logic for SAP to give this error, but it was somewhat misleading. When i removed the flag for CalculateTax="", this error vanished and "Balance in transaction currency" error came. When I retrified that my invoice got booked properly.
Thanks to all anyway for the responses provided.
Best Regards
