Company Code - Productive

Hi Friends,
We have many company codes for which in FA Global Settings, Company Code is productive indicator is not selected.
Now we want to activate this indicator. Is there any implication if we activitate it now considering that there are transactions which are already done.
Is there any negative effect by activating this?
Regards
Hari

As such there is no retrospective impact of setting company code to productive. It will imply that data can't be deleted from that point onwards.
Hence, you can do the same safely without any impact on old data in ur system.
If the answer satisfy ur query, please assign award points.

Nitin.

Advantages of making a Company Code Productive

All,
What are the reasons for marking a company code productive and should we mark company which we do not use anymore ( Removed the posting period variant) also productive.
Thanks in Advance,
Vineet

Good question.
My opinion is that a user should not see anything that isn't relevant... so if they do a drop-down on Company Code and see "IDES Demo Bulgaria" or something like that, then it's wasteful and makes processing a bit more difficult.
There isn't a way to do this in configuration other than to delete them... Charts of Accounts, Controlling Areas, CoCds, Charts of Depreciation, Account Groups, etc. But there are OSS notes that walk you through the process and they have dedicated config tcodes to do it(Cont Area is an example). So I think SAP is OK with this and supports it. I can't think of anything in these elements that is worth saving... if there is, you can always login to 000 and view it there... if you had to, you could create a BC Set and move it over to your productive client.
The one exception to this that I've found is Charts of Depreciation. They can be deactivated in their main table (via SE16).

Company Code not productive

While going through the system settings, I found that certain company codes are not having the status 'Company code not productive'. These company codes are in operation. I know that a company code in operation should be made productive so that programs will not get deleted by any change.
Can set the indicator 'company code productive' for all those company codes and move the changes to Production client ?

Dear,
There is nothing wrong if you set Company code productive latter after you went live. Information system auditor can may object if you do not set it productive because with this indicator unticked you can delete and reset GL Master data. You should ideally tick it and set it as productive.

Hi Expert,
With reference to the subject of this topic, the Tcode of OBR2 can only be used to delete GL/AP/AR master data created (without any posting yet) in general and company code level.

0010 milling
0020 winding
0030 cutting
0040 milling
among this opearion 0030 i want to do it in a plant which is assigned to different company code than mine.
in this case whether i should proceed with PP01 Control key with opearion plant as that plant which is lieing in diffent company code or
i should specify PP02 control key saying that plant as an external vendor for me and do PR and PO for that service .
which should i follow for my case and how cost gets updated .

Hi,
For different company code, u have to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn.
Before that create purchase info record.
Enter subcontract info record in routing.
after running MRP , convert the PR to PO.

Production order on two company code

I have two company code A110, plant p110 and A111, plant P111.
My requirement: I want planned order in P110, production order in P111, goods receipt in P110, goods issue to plant P111.
I setup material code 200201 for both plant, in plant A110, I use special production, receiving plant A111. besides this, what should be configured to meet with my requirement, thanks

SivKumr,
First, a technical question. You mention A110 and A111 as company codes in the first statement, then you mention them as plants in the second statement. Can you elaborate?
Actually I don't know what you want from us, you haven't mentioned yet what your problem is. Exactly what do you want to happen that currently does not happen?.
In your original statement you have described your desired solution, which I must say is...ah....odd. How about also enlightening us with a statement of your business requirements? I personally am at a loss to conceive of any business reasons why a company would wish to implement such a solution.
You might also want to refer to SAP help, to see what special planning processes are available.

SET COMPANY CODE TO PRODUCTIVE

Hi:
I'm setting the company code to productive, is it possible to include this configuration in a transport request. I am not able to do so as it doesn't ask for a transport request. The menu to manually assign them to a transport request is also grayed out.
Appreciate any input.
Regards
Hisham

Hi Mukta:
I do have authorization to configure in the development system but for this specific configuration, it didn't ask for the transport request.
I have done this configuration directly in Production system before since it should not be set to productive in the development system.
But I was just wondering if there's anyway to transport this across the system landscape.

Inactive field Company code in production

Hello all,
in the production system and in transaction PPOME I can change the value in field Company code (folder Account assignment) for the parent org. unit. If I select an org. unit which hangs from the parent, then the field is inactive and I cannot change the value. This is the same story for any other org. unit in deeper levels. This does not happen in development and test system.
I guess that this is a customizing topic but where exactly can I make the field Active ??
Thanks.

Please check the following switches in table T77S0

Risks when locking Prod in SCC4, but not setting Company Code to productive

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the risks related to not setting Company Codes to productive... even though the Production system is locked in SCC4. Will the lock in SCC4 mitigate the risk of not setting Company Codes to productive?
To my understanding, setting Company Codes to non-productive in the Production system would result in a risk for deleting financial data. I therefore wonder if defining the lock in SCC4 would compensate for this risk.
Regards
IT-auditor

I asked myself the same question.
The F1-help in SCC4 says the following:
"This field should be maintained by the customer for documentary purposes."
But also:
"- Production clients and SAP reference clients are protected from the client copy tools, including "Copy by Transport Request" (transaction SCC1).
- There is corresponding protection from the automatic Customizing Distribution and other tools.
- In a production client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" are excluded from a client lock or transport connection; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. Other clients usually require a transport request."
So, i think that the client role option is more a documentation thing. But also disables some client copy and automatic transport functionality. In my opinion it should be "production" on a production system because if not there are several functions activated that shouldn´t be for security reasons.
That´s what i think. Maybe someone can correct me or give more information to this thread.

Tobias

Side effects set company code to productive on Live Production System

Dear All,
I have a question, are there any consequencies or side effects, if we set company code to prodcutive while the system already run for last 1 year.
Is there any SAP note reference for this matter?
Really appriciate for your help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Endi Pratama W.

If you do not put to productive then there is a problem.
You must put it to productive immediately. There will not be any side effects.
OBY6
A company code which is working productively should be indicated here by an "X". This prevents deletion programs from resetting data in this company code by mistake

Is Company Code Activation (Set to Productive) typically included in Mock Cutover

Hello.
In a typical mock cutover, is the setting of the Company Code to productive typically included?
Given that it can be re-set, I can't think of a down side to doing so. I'm just looking for what is standard practice.
Thanks.

Hi David,
The purpose of Company Code set to Productive is mainly to prevent any inadvertent deletion of data by the users like resetting depreciation data, deleting vendors / customers etc. For example, If one of your cut-over task is to delete the some of transaction data in your test system, then you need to remove this tick and delete and then put it back. It all depends on your requirements, how you want to use this field.
But, as far as production system is concerned, you MUST ensure you have selected this check box in OBY6 transaction code. Include this as a manual task in your cut-over plan. Otherwise, any inadvertent deletion of data would become very costly for the business.
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Sapf019 w/ productive setting on for company code - allows deletion

Good afternoon SCNers,
I am having somewhat of an issue and was wondering if anyone has had the same. I have read here and online elsewhere that by setting company code to productive, I should not be able to delete master data with program SAPF019. But yet, the message "company code is productive" is only informative. I thought that it should be an error message. Do I have to set the message F7104 to an error from information?
Does anyone know why this would be occurring?
Thx erik

There are standard individual transaction codes that are used to delete master data. As I alluded to previously, you can execute KA04, KS04, KKPV, OK05, AS06 and some others to delete master data. It is reasonable and justified to delete a record even if the company is productive. ex: someone could mistakenly create a record and want to delete that record number so that it can be reused again, or created again immediately with the correct attributes. Whether or not the company code is productive should not stand in the way of this.
To my knowledge, the treatment of the productive indicator is slightly different in different modules, but once it's productive, you can't execute the delete transaction data transaction codes such as OBR1, OKC3 and 0KE1. In some other modules, setting the company productive also disallows further legacy data takeover postings. But you should still be able to delete individual master data records.

Product Costing - Two Costing Variants - Mark and Release In Same Company Code Same Period

Hi All,
We are currently handling a CO-PC project where client has requirement to use two different costing variants in the same period in the same company code. SAP standard does not allow use of two costing variants in the same period for the same company. We can have only One Costing Variant per Co Code for Marking / Releasing Standard Price.
There are some materials in Plant 1 or Plant 2 for which cost estimates using costing variant ABC1 calculated and than prices are marked and released (CK24), now same materials are received in Plant3 where mixed costing is used and thus need to have cost estimates from second costing variant ABC3 (second costing variant) marked and released. Object is to have ABC3 cost estimates in material master standard price field, but SAP does not allow to mark and release for second costing variant in the same period for same co code as ABC1 variant already ran for plant1 or Plant2 under same company code,therefore, business is not able update ABC3 prices in Standard price of the material master.
Purpose of this second costing variant mark and release run is that for some materials business would like to implement costing at Plant3 level also, where they get same materials from different production sites (Plants). At Plant3 level, business is using mixed costing where the standard price is a weighted Average standard price, taking the different production sites standard cost into consideration in combination of the volume split between those production sites.
Did any one worked on this kind of requirement? Is there any SAP standard way to handle? Or this will need some ABAP enhancement?
Kindly advise.

Hi Atul
1. You dont need separate Valuation Variant in Plant 3
2. Use Costing Variant ABC1 and ensure that it has the needed Valuation Strategies in Valuation Variant
Allow Complete Transfer in the Transfer Control i.e. Cross Plant Transfer in it
3. Assign the Qty Str Type you have used in ABC3, to ABC1.. i.e. In the Costing Version, assign the Qty Str Type to the Costing Type and Valuation Variant from ABC1
After this, do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 1
Then do CK11N and CK24 for Plant 3, using ABC1.. You dont need to change anythiing before doing CK11N for Plant 3
To make it simple, you can use any one of ABC1 or ABC3 in both the plants.. You only need to ensure that Valuation Variant, TRansfer Control are set up as desired

BP search for General and Company Code roles

Hi
On the modify Money Market Transactions (TM_52) (and some similar to it for other products TS02, TM32, TO02), if i go to the Partner Assignment Tab and I try to assign a bp for the General or the Company Code roles, the bp search program give me no results.
If i try to do the search for the Counterparty role it gives me the results I expect.
Is there any reason for do not give any result when these roles are the primary roles that, of course, the bp I choose has? Is it a program problem (this program has returned me some dumps and I implemented some Notes on it before)? If so, is there any solution?
I want to assign these roles because I hope that these assignments with these roles modify the payment data or the master data of the transaction.
Thanks
