Diagnosis

You tried to change the business area. You should only do this if there are no items with subledger postings (such as advance payments) that have been directly or indirectly assigned to the real estate object. Otherwise, this could lead to inconsistencies in the balance sheet of the business area (for example, if the new business area for the real estate object were to be used for payment settlement or reversal).

Real estate objects lower down in the hierarchy inherit the business area of the level above (for example, the business area for business entity also applies for the buildings, property, rental unit and lease-out), unless the business area is entered specifically for the sub-level. As a result, changing the business area for a business entity can also be critical, because this implicitly affects open items of the lease-outs.

Changing the business area can be critical in the following cases:

  • Reversal of a document that was posted with the old business area
  • Service charge settlement, if advance payments have been posted using the old business area
  • Clearing items with the old business area

Procedure

If you want to change the business area anyway, even though open items would be affected, you must first transfer all the affected documents to the new business area manually, and then change the business area.

If you are using the Cash Management component, you must regenerate the cash flow after you have changed the business area (transaction FOVB). The system then adjusts the business area view in Cash Management automatically.
