Issue related to Sales order

[former_member216878]

Dear All,

I want to see revenue and cost at sales order level.

After doing PGI the accounting entry is :

COGS A.c Dr (Profit center material)

To stock (Profit center material)

After doing delivery system generates error mess:

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled

Message no. GLT2201

To solve the error I have executed Define document splitting characteristic for General Ledger accounting step.

In this step I have un checked the mandatory field against Business area.

After this system is posting accounting during billing. The accounting entry is:

Customer A.c dr

to sales (Cost center)(Profit center business area)

to excise duty (Profit center material)

to cst

Profit center for Business area and Material are different.

Now my queries are:

1. Why system is throwing error

Balancing field "Business Area" in line item 001 not filled

2. What are the implications if I un check the check box for mandatory field against Business area.

3. At the time of Billing why system is picking cost center and why system is picking Business area profit center for sales of material.

Note:Profit center for Business area and Plant are same.

Please guide...

Hi Nitisha

1. Run tcode 1KE4 - assignment monitor
2. give your controlling area
3. under  assignment monitor menu select material
4. in the  material forward arrow then select non assigned materials
5. give your material type
6. run the report

The system will give you materials that are not assigned to a profit center

compare the list with materials in your sales order. You should be able to find this

you can change the material in MM02 and assign the correct profit center but ensure there is no stock , purchase order , production order or sales order that has the material  or consult your MM consultant on how to go about it

Hi Nitisha,

1. You have not selected the inheritance check box in the activating document splitting configuration. Due to this it is throwing error.

2. It is not a good practice if you unchecked the mandatory check box.

3. Check have you assigned any cost center in OKB9 for the sale cost element and business area/profit center is picking from the material master of the billing or from OKB9.
