Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.

I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like

1. Creation of Business Area

2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)

3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)

4. Business Area by Sales Area

5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account

It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.

But

In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)

I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.

Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.

Hi,

I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.

The best you can do is:

1. Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line

or

2. You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account. This will then force the user update the BA. We use this option. This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.

Hi Neeraj,

Thank you for your updates.

In the option 1you have proposed one derivation rule through user exit how to do this changes can you sugget me. I have already checked validatations and substitutions.

In the option 2 you have told manual entry of business area. In this company they are processing GR and IR automatically through DVAI program. It it is kept as mandatory the automatic program will fail.

If you can sugget me on Automatic Business Area determination process it could be great help to us.
