Business Area required field

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have not implemented document splitting. Requirement is to make business area required field.

Can you please tell me how to do it?

And also, if system is not picking business area automatically in tax lines, How this can be done?

Thank You

Hi,

Use T-Code OBY6 Choose your co.code and select Business Area Financial Statements.

Then Business area field is always ready for input, regardless of the field control of the posting keys and of the accounts when you enter documents.

This indicator results in required entries in the Controlling (CO), Materials Management (MM), and Sales and Distribution (SD) components.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

One small question, i am activating Business Area financial statements in existing SAP system. Can you please tell me all the important points which we should keep in mind?

Because i have selected business area financial statements in OBY6 and then entries i was posting on 31st march is giving me error. Business area was not assigned in cost center and system was also not allowing to enter business area now.

But as i have extended validity of cost centers from 01st april and assigned business area, there i was not getting any error.

Please help me in solving this issue

First enable business area at the time of company code configuration, assign business area scenarios to ledgers and make the field status required for business area in Account group and transactions.

In SPRO configuration node 'Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting', set business area and set Zero balance indicator and mandatory field indicator. This will make sure every GL line has a business area filled in.
