reported by Activity 1 & 2. In PF2 the determination of the Activity 1 & 2 is done using the Business Area.
When a posting was done without Business Area or with an obsolete Business Area, it is not possible to assign the posting to an Activity 1 & 2.
The aim of this page is to provide a procedure to:
- use a transaction to check that all postings are well assigned to an Activity 1 & 2 with the Business Area
- explain what to do in case some postings were not assigned properly to a Business Area.
1.2. Scope
This operating procedure applies to PF2 only and is not applicable to WP2.
2. Definitions
3. Tasks description
It can occur that the Business Area used in the document was a wrong one or that this information was missing.
In this case, at the end of the month, it is necessary to allocate automatically the amount concerned to the good business area to have an accurate working capital allocation in BFC.
This will be done by running the program ZF_BFC_GSBER_BREAKDOWN or in case of need the transaction ZZF_GSBER_BREAKDOWN.

3.1. I execute the transaction
The transaction runs by program in FCC at D3 morning
...
after all the closing operations are final and no longer impacting the headings that will be reclassified.
...
All the postings performed by this transaction are reversed in the first day of the next month.
In case any errors happen, it can be executed
...
manually by using the transaction ZZF_GSBER_BREAKDOWN
...
Insert:
- The chart of accounts: COCA
- The period: Year & Month
- The document type: SA
- The Account (single division): 8BAA310000
- The Business Area (single division): 9990
- Execute
3.2. I check that the job run
Ensure that 8BA* accounts are equal to zero, by Business Area.
Run FBL3N - G/L Account Line Items using the variant: 3S-BFC-Z4F2
- Get variant
- Enter variant: 3S-BFC-Z4F2
- Execute
In order to catch both posting + reversal, we need to run the transaction for open items on 1st day of next month
- Change the company code
- Update the date: 1st day of next month
- Execute
Check if the total amount of 8BA*accounts is equal to zero, by Business Area.
Possible reasons of 8BA*accounts by Business Area not equal to zero:
The outcome of the posting will be a number of accounts without parameter:
- Error is related to OB52: Check if 8BA*accounts are open in Z1F_OB52 for M and M+1 periods ; If periods are closed, the transaction will launch only one of the entries generating further mismatches.
...
- Reverse M+1 documents posted, open 8BA*accounts and re-run the job in FCC.
- Error is not related to OB52: run the program in SM37 in order to check if there was a technical problem. If yes, re-run the job, otherwise report the issue to Service Unit Finance Accounting GL.
