SAP Message AO348 - Requesting business area a required field - cost ctr has no business area

Diagnosis
The business area is a required field according to the field selectionof the appropriation request.

System Response
You have to make the required entry for the business area.

Procedure
Do one of the following:

  • Enter a business area. Use the entry help for assistance.

  • Enter the requesting cost center. The profit center and the business
  • area are automatically adopted from the cost center.
    If the profit center or business area are required fields, then you canonly choose cost centers in which this data has been entered.
    • Change the control for the requesting business area field so that it is
    • not a required field.
      Note:
      When the business area is adopted from the cost center, it does notnecessarily make sense to make both fields required entry fields.
