area?

Answer Posted / krishna

Business Area: This is optional

This can be used cross compane codes

This is for Internal Purpose

It is not Legal Entity like Co Code

The transation entered in Business are, Debit total will
not tally with credit total

Since it is used for segment wise or area wise or line wise
this is used for internal report purpose only .

wise
