SAP Note 11988 - Business area determination from SD.

Symptom

Case 1:
Items with different divisions exist in the order. Business area
determination is configured such that the business area is derived
from the sales area:

0001 01 01 --> 0001
0001 01 02 --> 0002


Both items are copied to the billing document.

In the accounting document, the revenue account for both items is
assigned to business area 0001.
Therefore, the division of the billing header (or the 1st billing
item?) is decisive for determining the business area. It is not
possible to derive the business area from the material division.


Case 2:
Items with different divisions exist in an order. Business area
determination is configured such that the business area is derived
from table 134G (plant sector):

0001 01 --> 0001
0001 02 --> 0002

Both items are copied to the billing document.

The 1st item in the billing document is posted to business area
0001. The 2nd item is posted to business area 0002.
Therefore, you can derive the business area from the material
division in this variant.
