Hi Gurus...

I have facing an issue : Balancing field "Business area" in line item 001 not filled

I have maintained material management small difference account (DIF), to post the small differences... between PO value and (vendor) Invoice Value....

At the time of posting invoice system giving this error... even after maintaining the business area and profit center in MIRO transaction...

Here we have activated Document splitting in FI, also Business Area & Profit Center are mandatory fields..

Pls give some inputs in fixing this issue..

Thanks in advance....

hi

check in SAP OSS with the Message Number I remember that this is due to driving the Business area Rule which you have maintained in the Document Split rule.

Hi Shashidhar,

Please check in the tcode OKB9 whether all records are maintained.

Hi

There could be multiple reasons for this. Pls check on:

1. For the Expense Account assigned in DIF, have u made the assignment for deriving Profit Center & Business Area in T Code OKB9

2. Ask your FI Consultant to check the Splitting Characteristics for the MIGO. Check the Splitting Characteristics assigned to the Accounting Document Type assigned to T Code MIGO. Also check if all the GL Accounts have been assigned a splitting characteritics. The path is:

IMG> Financial Accounting(New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting

3. Do you maintain profit center as a default in material Master? If yes, check if the same has been assigned in the view extended for the plant concerned?

Pls check the settings. If any doubt, revert back.

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi,

You will get this error if you select wrong document type for posting invoice in MIRO.

Please check in invocie header details tab the invoice document type.

Select the correct invocie document and try to post the invoice.
