Use

In this section you create business areas. A business area is an organizational unit within accounting that represents a separate area of operations or responsibilities in a business organization.

When defining a business area, you enter a four-character alphanumeric key and the name of the business area.

In a client, you can set up several business areas to which the system can assign the postings made in all company codes defined in this client. To ensure consistency in document entry, you should give business areas the same name in all company codes.

You make all other specifications for your business areas in the Financial Accounting Implementation Guide.

Activities

If necessary, create business areas.

Further notes

For more information about business areas, see the SAP Library under Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Area.
