Business area is not picking for Service PO

[ramesh_reddy25]

Hi Gurus,

My business is only procuring consumable materials ( Direct consumption to WBS element, Cost center ) And service procurement.

We are not procuring stock materials.

I have observed below 2 points

1) Material PO ( with account assignment "P") with WBS element: Business area is picking automatically during MIRO.

2) Service PO ( With account assignment "P") with WBS element: NO Business( Business area field is blank)are during MIRO.

I have attached my OMJ7 screen. My material created with division is blank

My WBS element is assigned to plant DC00 but not assigned to any business area ( Business area field is blank)

How business area is picking automatically for material PO with WBS element as BI01??

Why Business area is not picking for Service PO with WBS element ??/

Please provide your valuable suggestions

Regards

Hi Ramesh,

Adding some inputs here is:

Please ensure the following:

In OMJ7 -

Allocation area for plant and valuation areas differs:

1. Plant-Division: (Org. Unit Business Area Determination):

   Select new entries or rename the standard one: Assign Business area with respect to plant. ( Enter      your plant, Division and Business Area).

2. Valuation Area - Division: (Business Area for MM View):

Select new entries or rename the standard one: Assign Business area with respect to Valuation. ( Enter your Valuation Area, Division and Business Area).

Allocation area for Plant and Valuation Areas are identical.

1 . Plant/Valuation Area - Division: (Org. Unit Business Area Determination):

     Select new entries or rename the standard one: Assign Business area with respect to

      plant. ( Enter your plant, division and Business Area).

Regards,

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the input..

My problem is BA is not picking automatically for Service PO with WBS element while doing Invoice.

But BA is picking automatically for the Material of PO of same WBS element.

How BA will pick for material PO ( with account assignment P) and not picking Service PO (With account assignment P).

NO BA is assigned to my WBS element but BA is assigned to Cost center.

Hi ramesha,

check the below entries,

GO TO OME9 ( account assignment categories),

For Account assignment: P - Project

Double Click on project 'P', then below Detailed information you see the 'special stock field 'Q' ( for project)- Hit the pop up button and then select Business Area as 'Mandatory entry' and Cost Center as 'Mandatory entry'

For Account assignment: K - Cost Center

Double Click on Cost Center 'K', then Go to Fields and select below Business Area as 'Mandatory entry' and Cost Center as 'Mandatory entry'

Hi Ramesh,

Kindly check below parameters:

1. Material Master Data1:

Go to Division field, Enter or select from popup i.e., division which already assigned in F.A..

2. Go to OMJ7 - Allot plant/valuation area with respect to division.

3.  Go to transaction: SM30 General Table view., then Go to Table/View: V_TGSB ( Display view 'Business Area' Overview). Enter the table details or

    select and select the 'Display' button inorder to check whether Business area is assigned or not.

   If not assigned go to 'maintain button' or 'customizing' button and click on it enter the details which is required.

4. Last but not least check the cost center - KS03.

5. Did you Assigned Project Stock -Valuation class in Material Master - Accounting 1 - View ?

Hope you problem will be resolved.

Regards,

Vivek

Hi,

Are you using same WBS element with with account assignment "P" for Material PO and Service PO!

If no- just check again by creating a Service PO with same WBS element with account assignment "P" as like you have done with Material PO where business area  defaulted.

Now cross check business area  assigned to a cost center in t.code:KS03 and that cost center

maintained for your WBS element (statistical) in the field of “CCtr post.” in Accounting segment

in Control TAB in  t.code:CJ20N which may cause your concern!
