Cross-system business areas are used in distribution in financial accounting. The business areas must be assinged to cross-system business areas on each system involved in the distribution.

When sending an IDoc with business area data, the business area is replaced with the cross-system business area in all business area fields. When receiving this kind of IDoc the reverse conversion takes place on the target system.

In this section you maintain the cross-system business areas and allocate them to the local business areas.

Recommendation

  • The use of cross-system company codes and business areas in the distributed financial accounting is a provisional measure. SAP reserves the right to replace this in a future release with a tool that allows a conversion for all the organizational units of the SAP system.
  • Therefore SAP recommends that you choose consistent identifiers for the business area and the cross-system business area.

Activities

  1. Maintain the cross-system business area.
  2. Assign the relevant cross-system business area to the local business areas.
