SAP Netweaver Enterprise Controlling

Symptom
You execute the overhead calculation, and the detail list displays postings of the same amount for receiver and cost element. One posting has a positive, and one posting has a negative (reversal) sign. The balance for these postings is zero. The system does not post any overhead rate, as should be the case.

Reason and Prerequisites
PrerequisiteYou use NewGL.In Customizing you delete the “Determine Functional Area on Entry Screen” indicator [1] that is automatically set, but you retain the “Update Functional Area in CO Totals Table” [2] indicator.
[1] IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Tools > Enhance Determination of Functional Area
[2] IMG > Controlling > General Controlling > Include Characteristics in CO Totals RecordsYou derive the functional area (FKBER) using a substitution for the event 0005 or the master data of the account assignment object.An overhead rate has already been calculated in the period.
CauseDuring the overhead calculation process, as a result of the Customizing settings, the functional area of the credit object cannot be derived. Overhead rates posted earlier in the period are not allocated with the current overhead rates, as their functional area does not correspond: Therefore, the new overhead rate is listed as posted, and the overhead rate posted earlier is listed as a reversal in the list, and the two records are not balanced.
After the list is displayed, immediately before the posting, the system determines the functional area of the credit object for the newly calculated overhead rate, and the two records are allocated together correctly so the actual posting is correct. This means that only the detail list is confusing.
Solution
It is not possible to delete the two indicators independently of one another. If you delete the “Determine Functional Area on Entry Screen” indicator manually, you must also delete the “Update Functional Area in CO Totals Table” indicator.Therefore, the following additional documentation (help) for the data element FAGL_FAREA_FROM_COBL (”Determine Functional Area on Entry Screen”) is delivered by Support Package:
…
This should nevertheless be considered a transitional solution to reduce the conversion effort involved in upgrading an old release to SAP ERP.

If you delete this indicator, you also need to delete the Update Functional Area in Totals Record indicator in Customizing for Controlling, in the IMG activity ” Include Characteristics in CO Totals Records”, to avoid inconsistencies during overhead calculation, settlement, and assessment.
