Country CAO - Alternative Account

Hi,
For a Country specific requirement, I have created Country Chart of Account. Assigned to Co. Code in OB62.
Created GL in CCAO. Mapped these in Operating GL Master as alternative account number.
Now, the problem is that I don't know how to view any report on Country COA. Any idea about special GL Report or PL & BS report is very much welcome.
Regards
Subhash

1.Create a new FSV statement on F/Accounting-Gl accounting -master data-GL account---Define financial st version.
create this under you country coa
2.As usal see balances inF.01
If helpful ,assign points

Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

Hello Experts
we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
> Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
> You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
> Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
> No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.

Report using Alternate/Country Chart of Accounts

How can I write a report (in report painter/report writer) using accounts from an alternate/country chart of accounts? I cannot see "Chart of Accounts" as a selection characteristics in the report libray.
thank you,
Lanny

Hi,
when working with Report Painter / Report Writer, the first question is which is the summary table of the library you want to create your report in?
If this is an FI-SL summary table (something beginning usually with ZZ ending with T), then most probably you only have a chance if that field (i.e, the alternative account number) is one of the characteristics in your ZZ*T summary table. If it is not, you have to write a custom ABAP report based on the summary table, and read the alternative account from the master record. The same is the case if your library is based on table GLT0 (GL balances table in the "classic" GL - NOT newGL).
Hope that helps, points welcome

Alternative Account number - using as a custom field/Issues in reports pull

Hi All,
Requirement:
Create a new field in the GL master that will link through to a new 8 to 10 character new Chart of Accounts (COA).
We are presently using the "Group Account number" field from the GL master for reporting purposes through a Group COA. So this won't be available for our new purpose. Instead of creating a custom field and pulling the data, I'm thinking to use Country Chart of Accounts to fill this gap by using "Alternative Account Number" in GL Control data tab.
I created a new Country COA and assigned it to Operational COA. Created new GL account (FS00) and also created a new Country Chart of Accounts (FSP0) at Chart of Accounts level and assigned this to the created GL (FS00). In this process I got couple of issues
1) System didn't allow me to assign Country COA GL if already has the balance, and tried to change this error message in OBA5 without success. How can I add newly crated Alternative a/cs to the existing (balanced) GL A/cs?
2) This time I created brand new GL a/c and added the alternative a/c and created new Financial Statement Version (FSV) assigned the newly crated a/cs but I couldn't run the reports on this new COA, getting following error message "Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible" when executing F.01/F.08.
3) May be silly to ask - why we are not maintaining the Alternative a/c at Company Code level (FSS0)? Why we are only maintaining at Chart of Accounts level (FSP0)?
Would be glad if any one touch this area deep enough to understand easily

Hi
The system will update the amount at company code level GL only. You can post the entries at company code gl only, no option to post the transaction figures at chart of accounts level. So the group COA or country level COA will pick up the transactional data from the GL at country level. Remaining level GLs are link with the country level COA.

Country chart of accounts mapping to operational chart of accounts

Hi All,
We intend to use country specific chart of accounts to one of our company code along with operational chart of accounts. We try to map 1 operational G/L account to a group of country G/L accounts, system not allowing doing this, understanding it allows only 1:1 mapping.
Is there any work around to achieve this?
Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.
Salary u2013 Finance u2013 600100
Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
The same way for couple of P&L accounts to be created, but in operational COA we do have only one expense or revenue account these are used across the globe (all company codes).
I heard that, it is possible in SPECIAL PURPOSE LEDGER, creating new ledger and assigning the country specific chart of accounts, inputting some validation to achieve this purpose.
Simulating the purpose, with an example; during posting, where Operational COA G/L ACCOUNT equals to specific COST CENTER check FUNCTIONAL AREA and pick the appropriate country COA G/L ACCOUNT .
Substitution for Validation; Functional Area = Country Specific G/L Account
Currently Iu2019m using the mySAP and using New G/L (not document split), would like to achieve the Special Purpose Ledger functionality by creating a new ledger type in New G/L to map country specific chart of accounts to operational chart of accounts (N:1).
Please share any other alternatives avail to achieve this.
The reports are needed by functional area,
Balance sheet by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
(Figured some difficulty to assign functional area to G/L accounts, though I have cost of sales accounting is activated)
T/B by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Journals by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Document line items by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Please try to share you thoughts and advice on this.
Thanks.
Vyas

Dear Vyas,
We have similar requirement as yours
Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.
Salary u2013 Finance u2013 600100
Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
I would like to know how are u handling this situation.
Thanks and Regards

Alternative account number instead of cost elements in controlling reports

Hello.
Is there a possibility to show alternative accounts numbers from country charts of accounts instead of cost elements / account numbers from operative chart of accounts in CO reporting?
Thank you for your answer.
kind regards
Andreas

Not in a standard report.
With ABAP anything is possible. And it should be relatively easy - create the report as you want with the cost element (In report painter), have the ABAP execute the report, and in the result, swop the cost element with the alternative account.

Alternative account number in GL master record

can any one help me to define what is the use of alternative account number in gl master record as i am new in this line.
sanjay pradhan

Hi
The alternative account number field in the company code area is freely definable. You could use it to enter:
1) The account number from your legacy system or
2) The account number from a country chart of accounts if your corporate group uses a standard chart of accounts.
You might want to use a standard chart of accounts worldwide. However, the usage of another chart of accounts is required by law in some company codes. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the worldwide standard chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.

Financial Statement and Alternative Account Number (China)

Hi all,
I have created a nice financial statement based on "normal" GL account number, and through this I can have a nice formatted balance sheet and profit and loss account.
For china, I need the financial statement with the alternative account number displayed. For example: My normal GL Account is 181000, and alternative account number is 10010101 .
During running the F.01 - Balance sheet, I check the options of "alternative account number" under the tab of special evaluations, but the output of the balance sheet and profit and loss does not give me a nice format.
All of the accounts are displayed under section Account not assigned (This is because alternative account number is 10010101 is not assigned to the financial statement version).
Could anyone advise how to overcome this problem?
Thanks.

Ok ...
I half way solve my problem with the following reference:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/country-specific-coa-1453275
There is another issue of my Financial statement:
The following is my scenario:
I have Operational Chart Of Account, OCA1, and GL's are as followings:
GL1000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9001 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL2000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9002 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL3000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9003 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL4000 No link to any alternative GL (because does not use or need this)
My Financial statement version is FSV9, made up (must be, based on my testing) using GL Account (which are GL9001 and GL9002) and chart of account is ACA1.
During the financial statement F.01, the GL4000 ends up with the following message at the bottom of the financial statement: <b>No alternative acct no.maintained for G/L acct 4000 in co.code ....</b>
Note: GL4000 does not have any balances.
Note: If GL4000 has balances, it is displayed under un-assigned section, and the value does not affect the profit and loss od the statement.
Question: How can I solve the issue:
1) Do not display the GL4000, which does not have alternative GL account.

Changing the alternative account number

Hi all,
Is it possible to change once assigned alternative account number that has already been posted to?
Thanks!!
D.

Hi,
Please see the solution given by Brendan O'Brien for the thread "GL Alternative Acct Number - error message FH007" in this forum.
Anyway, I am copying the text from the same thread. Hope this should be useful to you.
If you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the GL Account then it is correct that you cannot change the alternative Account number.
However if you do not have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" Assigned and yet you still cannot make this change
See note 305203. This note will prevent this message where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" is assigned.
If you do have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned then unfortunately you cannot change this error message, as FH007 is hardcoded as an error.
However, a possible workaround which you may like to try could be:
Deassign the country chart of accounts from OBY6,the company code global settings. Then it is possible to enter an alternative account number on the G/L master record irrespective of whether there is a balance on the account or not. Once the alternative account number is saved, reassign the country chart of accounts to the company code.
However, as displayed, your account balancee is infact zero.
The note will prevent the error message FH 007 where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" has been assigned to the corresponding company code. However, in your case, it sounds like you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the company code. Hence the error message.
I hope that this information helps.
Thanks,
Ravi

Alternative account Number in G/L

Hello experts,
We have a company that besides the usual balance structure uses also an alternative one for its country.
When I run the Balance sheet query with the normal hierarchy I can see all the nodes correctly. But when I use the one for its country I can see only one node (Not Assigned Fincl Statement Item) with all the account numbers inside.
When I check it in R/3 (tcode FC10) I can see it with both structures checking the alternative account number option.
Does anybody know how to use the alternative account numbers with the country specific hierarchy in BW?
Thanks in advance,
Rennie

hi,
i wud suggest, first you check the alternative account number hierarchy in bw, match the numbers with hierarchy in R/3. it may be data issue.

Country Chart of Accounts

Hi,
We have two company codes , one is India and one is in Malaysia which are using the same operational chart of accounts say ABC, when we are posting the transactional data we are using the company code currency.
In case of country specific reporting since we are posting the transactional date in INR, we can this ABC operational chart of accounts for country specific reporting.
What is the need of creating a country specific chart of accounts and create GL accounts under country specific and assign it in FS00 under alternative chart of accounts.
Thanks,

Hi
The SAP name for alternate chart of accounts is 'Country Chart of Accounts
Chart of Accounts According to Country Legislation
The country chart of accounts represents the account structure prescribed under national regulations.
Use
The usage is optional and only necessary where the chart of accounts you are using is not allowed under national regulations.
ALTERNATIVE CHART OF ACCOUNTS

Country chart of account

Hi experts,
please tell how to create country chart of account, and how to assign where do all posting and where we see all transaction and business process, same group chart of account where i have to make ,see all process.
thanks
Arti singh

Definition:
Country Chart of Account is created similar to operating chart of account in the transaction Code : OB13. It will also have set of Account Groups and GL Accounts created seperately.This is normally created based on the local statutory/reporting requirements and standard operating chart of account is used globally.
Assignment:
After creating a Country Chart of Accounts you need to assign the same to a company code at the 'company code Global Data' in the Country Chart/Accts field.
Financial Accounting -> Global Parameter for Company Code -> Enter Global Parameter
Once you do this assignment while creating a Account for the operating chart of account system will prompt you to enter the Alternative Account Number in the Control Data Tab in T.code FS00.
Note: you can assign one Country COA Account to morethan one Operating COA Account.
Usage:
Once you link the operating chart of account and countr chart of account using Alternative Account No. system will allow you see report both at Operating COA and Country COA.

Country chart of account report

hi sap guru's
what is country chart of account . how to configured the country chart of accounts reports. could u pls anybody explain with the senario. explain the configured steps to country chart of accounts
regards
shiva

Hi,
you can set 2 COA for one company code. In SPRO Global Parameters for Company Code\ Enter Global Parameters you can set a Chart of Accts and a Country chart/accts. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.
You set the link between these two COAs at GL account level populating the field "Alternative Account": you need to establish an alternative account of the country COA for the GL Accounts of the COA that you need to map.
There are several GL reports that can be shown by alternative accounts, mainly P&L, Balance Sheet...
Please follow these steps:
1- set Group Chart of Accounts as a COA of the company code. Find the customizing point in my post above.
2- set Country Chart of Account as a "country COA" at Company Code level. Same customizing point than before. You can use the standard that SAP provides (CAES in case of Spain for example or you can create a new one)
3- For each GL account you'll need to map at GL Account level in the field "Alternative Account" the corresponding country account.(trx FS00)
You need to now that users will work everyday in the group COA not in the country specific one, country COA is only for statutory reporting (P&G, Balance Sheet...). They will not have operating reports in country COA and operations will be only in group COA.
If you want to have all posting valuated not only un EUR but also in USD in case of USA, you will need to set several currencies at company code level also.

Obyc for country chart of account

Hi,
what is setting required for obyc for country chart of account. I have already assigned country chart of account number in operative chart of account- Comapny code section.
CHEERS

Dear Nitin,
You can not assign an 'Alternative Account' of Country Chart of Accounts in OBYC, neither no additional customization settings can be defined in SAP to achieve your requirement.
Country Chart of Accounts is just for the purpose of drawing a Balance Sheet with reference to Alternative Accounts instead of GL Account from Operating Chart of Accounts.
As you said, only assignment of Alternative Account in GL Master record is possible, means to say that you are just linking GL and Alt A/c for the above purpose of Balance sheet.
So whatever postings (say for instance, inventory postings to Stock GL Account) you made via OBYC will not really flow into this Alternative Account and thus no point in talking about displaying this Alt a/c balances.
Regards
Mahesh
