Div for Business Area GL determination

[Former Member]

Hello Folks,

Is DIVision necessary for busines area account determination for logistics transactions in FI ?

Here is what I mean :

1. Busniess Area (BA), the number, is not determined using condition technique and BA determined thus is only BA number and not the BA GL account.

2. This GL account is determined via Account determination procedure which uses condition technique but div need not be a must to be used in the condition tables to determine the BA GL account.

So, I like to confirm that Div is not necessary for BA GL determination.

Hi Ravi,

Business area account assignment happens on the base of sales area or plant and division combination in img setting.

these are the basic two rules to determine business area in a particular sales document

-

The functions of business area is to create balance sheets and profit and loss statement below the company code level. It functionality can be duplicated using Profit center accouting.

OX03 - Creation of new Business Area

New Business Areas can be created anytime in the Enterprise structure in the IMG. However, in the year of creation, no comparison can be done with the previous year data as the Business Area did not exist in the previous year and there are no postings in the previous year.

After create the new Business Areas, new G/L accounts should be created for :-

Sales

Cost of Sales

External Process Cost

Consumption

Material Change

Purchase

Cost of Difference for Production

Factory Output for Production Order

Next create a default account assignment to maintained the link for cost center and business area.

Ravi,

Hmm. Interesting basic question about GL/FI/Logistics/Account determination. And yet, no answers posted......

One wonders if posting such questions in an SD forum has anything to do with it...?
