Try to create a substitution and execute for the project.  Substitution also not working..seems like its Standard Behaviour (not allowing to change master data) and may not be able to change once cost is posted.

If your business demand different business area for same WBS keep the Business Area empty and ensure the business area is flowing thru other transactions.

Hi John,

          This happens if you have Released your project and booked some cost on it.

Even though,if you want to change the ' business area ' you have to reverse the documented posted on you project for example: GRN, activity confirmation etc.

First, you analyze them and then reverse the docs. then run CJEN

and see if you can change business Area.

Before that, You check project profile of your project in OPSA and check if you have maintained any Business area there. As , I doubt how the system will respond on reversing docs because reversing will also lead to a document but with -ve entry , and in this case the business area may greyed out.

You please check it from your end and see how the system behaves.

Hope it helps.

Hi John,

Business Area belongs to FI Accounting for reporting purpose. The system will not allow you to change it so easily. Go through the below thread which may be useful.
