Hello,

Business areas are primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes, covering the company's main area of operation (product lines, branches.etc).

Bucienss area is handle by Finance team in SAP. All balanace sheet items, such as fixed assets, recievables, payables, material stock, P&L statements can be directly assigned to busienss area. Financial statements at business area level are only suitable for internal reporting.

In an Invoice the customer item takes the business area for revenue posting. If the business area is unique in the document, it is copied into the line item automatically. The taxes are normally posted without a business area. The system, then at a later date, makes a transfer posting from the tax accounts to business area for the revenue accounts.

The business are will be taken from the business area assignment you make in SPRO --> Assignment --> S&D -->

Business area account assignment.
