Business Area is obsolete

[Former Member]

Hi

I proposed that each location (branches) of my client should be defined as an profit center (for getting trial balance at business area level).

But my client is insisting for creating location as a business area and not profit center.

But i think business area concept is obsolete in SAP ECC6.0. I believe that the SAP has stop providing support for business area.

I want to show the OSS note or some link on the basis of which i can tell that it is better to use profit center than business area.

Please help where i can get this link or OSS note

Hi,

there is some oss note on that.- not developing business area further. Check this link for further info on the topic and related oss notes: http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/business-area-or-profit-center-2218678

however, in ERP6 with NewGL you could have either Business Area or Profit Center or both in document split funcitonality and use both and get full statements.
