Multiple masters for a company

We are currently in the process of implementing Oracle EBS in our company and we are also implementing Oracle Projects.
Ours is a Engineering Construction company, and under the Business Unit (which is a profit center) there are many project sites.
Our implementor is suggesting us that we should consider each construction site as an organization so that it can have its site inventory.
Also we have to copy the same material master for each organization. That means at the head office level while making a P.O for some material purchase we shall depend on the material master of the Head office organization and while receiving the material at site we shall depend on the material master of that site organization. I feel this to be a little strange as I knew, that in an ERP there shall be only a single instance of master. But here we are having many instances.
Kindly suggest whether our consultant is guiding us in the correct path.
Regards

Hi
There should be only one master for all items. Then you can allocate all items or part of them to each inventory organization. The item classifications set at master level flow down as default to all inventory organization, and may be overridden on the inventory organization level, if needed. In you case, since the organizations only differ by location, and not by type of activity, it seems like you will stay with the default values for any inventory organization.
You should setup procedures so every new item is assigned to all existing organizations. This way, there will not be a delay when each organization raise a requisition or PO. Also, when creating a new inventory organization, all existing items should be allocated to that organization as well.
This architecture is not the only one. You may consider using only one inventory organization, and setup subinventories or locators to separate between the various sites. In such case your item master is shared by everyone, without the need to allocate items to multiple organizations. However, keeping only one inventory organization may give you less tools for access controls, and it will be more difficult to restrict users from viewing or transact against specific site inventory.
Another point to consider it the ability to control accounting. If you are not enabling project manufacturing, the accounting is setup on the inventory organization level. That means the same accounts accross all sites. If you need to separate accounting of inventory by site, you might need to consider setting accounts by subinventory, or develop more granular accounting rules using account generation client extension of Cost Manager.

Restrict PO creation for multiple plants for same company code

Hi Gurus,
We want to restrict PO creation for multiple plants in the same company code. Based on Standard SAP settings for Purchasing organization assignment with multiple Plant and multiple Plant assignment with single company code, this is happening. Is there a way that we can restrict by doing some customization change.
Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciating.
Thanks and Best regards,
Karun Kumar

Hi,
Said functionality is not available in SAP standard.
To avoid the same ,i can suggest implement release strategy for PO,and then higher authority / commercial team can check created PO,if multiple plants available in single po then they have the option of rejection for the same.
Or else check BADI-ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,take the help from abapor and apply the restriction to select multiple plant in PO.
Hope this will resolve your query,
Thanks & Regards,

Multiple Cheques for same company code in Cheque Printing.

Hi All
I am currently working for a client requirement of cheque printing. The requirement is such that we have a multiple ( 3 nos) bank cheques for the same company code. These cheques have different alignment, so we can't use the same SAP Script Form (or can we?).
Can anyone of you please let me know how to go about this requirement?
Like, if we create multiple SAP Script Forms, can we assign them to the same company code in the configuration or is there any other way that we may do some changes in SAP Script form itself ( My guess being using a particular alignment for Bank Codes using IF Condition)?
The situation is such that we cannot make changes to the print program RFFOUS_C (neither make a Z copy of it).
Thanks in advance.
Harsh

ICR - Upload multiple files for same company code?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the file upload functionality for ICR.
The file has to be prepared in MS Excel and then saved as tab delimited, but MS Excel has a limited number of rows.
So ....if one of my companies needs to upload more than one file for the same process/period because of this number of rows limitation, would that be possible? How is it handled and how we do we prepare the system for it?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Isabel

Hello Isabel,
Actually this question is not quite answered yet...
The problem is that during data selection you can only choose one file per company/seqnr. In your sceneario each file represents a data source. So you need to create one entry per file in FBICRC01010 (e.g. FBIC032). If you were to run data selection once and choose one file and then run data selection again and choose a different file, the data from the first file would be deleted.
And you can split up a document in the middle. ICR considers each data record individually. There is no balance zero check or anything - since you usually transfer individual line items anyway.
Best regards,
Ralph

Best way to implement accounts for multiple orgs within our company

I'm looking for some guidance as to how to configure/setup our clients in TCA for multiple orgs in our company.
Example:
We have 2 orgs in defined in our ERP. One is called Interactive, the other is called Traditional.
We want the general ledgers separate for these orgs
We want orders placed by clients to roll up to the correct org
We have clients that place orders for both Interactive products and Traditional Products.
For a single "client" that does business in both orgs, should we simply create 1 party and 2 customer accounts? Then use the org_id field in hz_cust_accounts to specify the organization code?
Or should we have a single customer account for that party, with 2 customer sites defined at the org level? Or do separate them at the site_uses level?
Help.

Dear,
I think for each account, you can have 1 bill_to site use. If you want to differentiate between them considering rollup to GL, then i guess defining 2 accounts for each customer would be you best shot.

Multiple credit control areas for 1 company code

Hi experts,
My client is using ECC6 version and they activated credit control area, as I know that 1 company code can have 1 credit control area and 1 credit control can be assigned with multiple company codes,. but in one of my client company code is assigned to 4 credit control area through
u201CFinancial Accounting (New)- Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-Credit Management-Credit Control Account-Assign Permitted Credit Control Areas to Company Codeu201D-
Can anyone let me know how this functionality will work? Any additional impact will be there when compare to 1:1 scenario? And what are the details we need to update in FD32 when we assign multiple credit controls for 1 company code.
Regards
babu

Hi,
The multiple assignemnet of credit control allows you to use multiple credit control for customers. Thus in FD32 you can use these assigned different credit control area and maintain the credit limit for each area.

Multiple entries for the same company.

Anybody out there have any idea how to enter multiple entries for the same company in Mail without having to enter all information every time for each individual. This was a very basic feature in MS Outlook. Possibly a workaround if not an option within Mail? Thanks.

Select a card with the details on it, and Edit/Copy /Edit/Paste (Command-C Command-V). Now edit one of the cards with the new individual's details. If starting from scratch, create a company card with no personal information and duplicate it as needed.

How to use multiple addresses for a global vendor

Hi experts.
scnerios is.company has different plants in different countires.they have centrally agreed contract with vendor.now each plant create p,o is in different country how can we use that vendors local addresses in p.o because in vendor master we can define one addres at a time.so if that adrees is in other country.and plant creating p,o is in different how can select the local address of that vendor.
if option is partner function then how to use it.all adressess witl be odering address of that vendor.his offices is alll the counties.
thanks

IQBAL,
You can maintain multiple addresses for the same vendor using international addresses.
First, you have to Activate International Address Versions for each country/language via config at
IMG: Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) > Address Management > International Settings > Activate International Address Versions (You can do this even if you are not using Real Estate Management
Then, in the vendor master, address screen, select the "International Verion" button, select the address version and maintain your address.
If you have any programs that need to display or print these addresses, you will have to specifiy the address version to display/print. by default, the version (Field = NATION) is Blank.
I hope this helps.

How to get multiple numbers for a business?

Hi-
We use Skype as our means of communication for our company. We like everyone to have a Skype number, however we have reached a major roadblock. Everytime we add a new person and try to get them a Skype number it locks the account for fraud, apparently because we used the same credit card on multiple accounts.
Trying to fill out a form to request for Skype to unlock the account has gotten nowhere.
So I guess my question is, how can we buy multiple Skype numbers for multiple people at our company using 1-2 credit cards and not have all the accounts get frozen?
Brian

Hi, CSBrian, and welcome to the Community,
Have you looked into a Skype Manager configuration to see if that might meet your company's needs? (see below) If these are all "personal" accounts that are being set up, and that the employees could take with them when they leave the firm, could they not fund their own Skype Number and be reimbursed by the company? Just thinking out loud here.
Skype will not bend regarding the number of credit cards used to fund accounts rules. I applaud Skype's anti-fraud protocols despite the fact at times these rules are inconvenient, to say the very least. Contact Skype Customer Service again to request the accounts in question be released.
Here are links to more information about setting up a Skype Manager profile:

F.27 - combined statement for different company codes

Hi,
In F.27 transaction, for sending account statement to customer, for a customer with open items in different company codes, a different account statement is generated for each company code. The business wants one statement per customer, with open items from all company codes. We have been working on a investigating a solution, but making a Z-copy of the programs and modify looks too complicated. Is there a solution in FI configuration, which leads to generation of just one account statement per customer.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
PH

HI
Have you tested the statement by giving multiple company codes in F.27 in Company code selection? You have the option of selecting multiple company codes here, It should solve your problem.

Digital Signatures for mutliple company code

Hi,
Our client have multiple company codes & they want to use digital signature for all the company code and there be individual authorised digital signatory for each comp code.
Now the question is , whether we have procure different digital signature for individual company codes & if so how system will identifies which authorised ditigatl signature should be assigned to respective company code...?
=> We are not able to download Adobe Form local & aslo is it mandatory to have digital signature to download Form 16 on a local system.
System details : ECC 6
SP Level : 38
Thanks & Regrads,

Digital Signature is person specific
You have to take the Digital signature ( A number assigned for each signatory with the tool),from an authorized services provided by NSDL
In a single company code if you have 2/3 signatories , first you need to make groups based on the signing authorities, in combination of PA/PSA/EG/ESG/BA etc
The form 16 is to be generated on the above criteria applicable.
3 file of form16 will be generated and send accross to 3 signing authorities
The signing authority can open the form using the tool ,digitial signatory software install and can authenticate the form16.
As per NSDL form16 is now not an statuory doucment. Its just an Tax Information of an Employee.
which is not required to be attached with your ITR's also
So why do you require the Digital signature to be printed on the form16 . Pls check this up with your finance team
Thansk & Regards

Multiple Hyperlinks for interactive PDF

Hi, I work for a company that creates 'Open Home' Maps and Lists for multiple real estate publications. the map has flags with numbers that corresponds with the matching list of details. I would like to turn these PDF's into a more interactive file used on the web with URL hyperlinks. we currently use Indesign CS5 and Adobe Pro 9 to create the final PDF files. I know we can create hyperlinks individually in both these programs but i would like to create 100+ on both pages, is this possible? can either of these programs run macros or Scripts that would take the manual work away? i would really appreciate your feed back or if someone could point me in the right direction on who could help.

Multiple contacts in one company?

Hi all, a quick question on something that's always bugged me. If I enter contact info for multiple employees at the same company, I can never see who those employees are when scrolling through my contact list.
For instance, I if enter the contact info for 4 people at a company called "Floserve", when scrolling through my contacts later on, all I see is 4 duplicate entrees called "Floserve". I have to select them all individually to get the iPhone to scroll to the next field where I can see each employee's name. This is a real pain with 20+ people I need to contact at one company. Is there anyway I can flag people as working at the same company, but have my contacts sorted by their names, and not the duplicated company name?

The way I handle this issue is as one poster already suggested, plus groups. First, the "company" checkbox is for companies, not really people, so it should only be used for the company's entry, not the people associated with it. You can still put the company info in each of the contacts, right where it says "company" when you edit the contact, but don't check the company checkbox.
Next, create a group for each company that has several people, and that you want to have such a group. Drag those contacts into that group. (I use smart groups to collect them: just set a condition whereby the "company" is the company's name, then drag the resulting smart groups contacts into the real group you named after the company). Now when you sync, if you're showing "All Contacts", the people will appear in their alphabetical place, and if you just want to see those who are at that company, just tap "Groups" in the upper left, and tap the group you created for that company. The list will then populate with only those who are in that company. So I have several groups like that, one for each company that has more than just a couple of names that I want to be able to get to by company.

Material Ledger activation (COML) - multiple plants in single company code.

Hi -
Material Ledger activation (COML)- multiple plants in single company code.
In large mfg plant - process industry (proposed to dived into number of production plants), Matrial 'a' is produced in plant 'a'.Material 'a' is input to procude matl 'B' in plant 'B"..so on and so forth.
We are activating Material Ledger (COML) for actual costing purpose. Question -During multi level price determination, will the variance of lower level materials ( produced in lowerlevel /other plants in our case) be rolled up to higher level materials (in a different plant). please let me know if it really works, if yes what are the guidelines (if any) .
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks
Chris
Edited by: Chris Farr on Oct 23, 2008 11:12 AM

Hi Chris,
from a business point of view there is a difference that you might take into consideration: The valauation level will always be on material and plant combination. That means, the division into several virtual plants will usually lead to different actual prices for the same material in each plant. That might happen for example when you carry over stocks from last month into the current month in one plant, while the other plant has only receipts from the current month.
That might me desired, but often it is not. If the mutiple plants are in reality only one location it might be hard to explain why the prices differ between plants.
