Functional Area cannot update when posting

[#1]

Hi,

Now I am confused about functional area when posting document.

Functional area derived from master data of Cost center.

cost center 1000 -> functional area 2000

cost center 1001 -> functional area 2100

And no functional area derived from account and cost element, also no substitution.

When use F-02 to posting document, first I input one line item with cost center 1000, then the system derived functional area 2000. The document has not been posted. Now i want to change the cost center to 1001, but after change the cost center, the FA still with 2000, not changed to 2100 automatically. so it is not correct.

My version is ECC6.0. I did the same thing in IDES ecc6, but the system works fine, after i change the cost center,the fuctional area also changed to 2100.

I compared two systems,but i do not know why, anyone can help me? thank you!

how did the system update data when we input the document?

Hi,

Once check,

Financial Accounting (New)>Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New)>Tools>Customer Enhancements>Enhance Determination of Functional Area

[Former Member]

We have click the field "Determine Functional Area on Entry Screen"

Hi,

Please check wheather there is any substitution rule defined in Cost of Sales accounting to determine the functional area.

Please find the path below:

Financial Accounting --> Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Company Code --> Cost of Sales Accounting --> Set up substitution for Cost of Sales Accounting -- Define Substitution.

Thanks,

Hi,

No substitution in the system.

hI,

Financial Accounting (New)>Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New)>Tools>Validation/Substitution>Define and Activate Substitution for Cost-of-Sales Accounting

hi,

I mean we did not use substitution in the system.

Give Company code and call point 0006

We had a sort of similar issue before. When a cost center on a PO line item was changed, the corresponding business area would not change accordingly. We opened an OSS dialogue, the response we got was that it was working the way as designed. But later they modified the program and the fix came in with certain Support Pack. However your situation is a little different, because you said IDES works just fine. I would suggest you also open an OSS dialogue. SAP people will look at your system and tell you what is missing. Please share the result with us. It is interesting.

Hi, in fact, I have created an OSS to SAP, but SAP repled as it was a functional issue, so SAP did not give the solution. Can you tell me the note number of your support package? thanks a lot!

I am afraid our issue will not help you because it was in 4.6C with IS-PS. Why don't you do this: show us the content of your dialogue - the questions and the responses.
