Slow VF04 Process Only on One Company Code

We have 5 company codes on our system. Last month we create new company code. No problem in Devevelopment or QA Server.
However, when we transporteded this new company code configuration to Production server, we got VF04 problem.
VF04 very slow for only one company code (existing company code), it took more than 30 minutes for 1 plant and 1 business date (normally it took about 1-3 minutes for 1 plant).
The longest time in this process in SM50 is "Sequential Read on CE4xxxx table". What could we do to check why VF04 on existing company code is very slow while in other company codes (including the new one) running normally.
Thank you so much.

If the two notes are not applicable, then have a look at this
Note 1996268 - Performance problem while generating billing documents using VF04
If this is also not the root cause for the issue you are facing, then share the following note to your Security team as I already indicated and ask them to follow the steps listed out in this note as this is purely technical related issue and not a functional related issue.
Note 841758 - Procedure when you experience performance problems

Tax code optional in document type for one company code

Hello experts,
Is it possible to make tax code optional in a document type only for one company code. If yes kindly explain me the process in detail.
Regards,
P.Krishna Chaitanya.

Hi
If I understand your requirement correctly that for a particular document type, the line item should not contain a tax code, while for other Document Types, it should have a tax code. Note, the logic for making tax code optional/mandatory is made through the field tax category in the GL Master and not through the field status. further Build in a validation rule, using a logic as follow:
BKPF-BLART IN "SET NAME"
Check BSEG-MSKWZ<> ' '
Set an Error message
You can also create a subsitituion rule for populating tax code with a blank value if a particular doc type is used.
BKPF-BLART in 'SET NAME"
Substitute BSEG-MSKWZ= ' '
You may need to allow tax code as a field to be substituted in the maintainence view of table GB01 using T Code SM30 for boolean class 9

Is third-party SO/PO process possible using only one company code?

Hi friend,
1) my client wants to implement third-party PO process but also wants a way of keeping track of inventory during this process. I know that inventory should be tracked on the vendor side and not on our client side since we're doing third-party PO.
However my client wants to track inventory (in an inventory g/l account like 120100) so that when my client post a Goods Receipt, the inventory account
gets Debited and when client post the outgoing invoice to customer, the inventory account gets Credited. In this way, my client can track
if the customer have received the ordered item or not.
The problem is that third-party PO posts to consumption account but DOES NOT post to inventory account. Is there any way of
setting this up so that in addition to posting to comsumption account every time a Goods Receipt occurs?
2) i tried to create "Individual Purchase Order" (customer order from client -> client order from
vendor -> vendor ships item to client -> client then ships item to customer) so that posting will hit inventory account.
However, i find that taking this approach involves setting up a Plant for vendor (A), a Plant for our Client (B), and a Plant for Customer (C).
Because when i do a Goods Receipt, the stock has move from Plant A to Plant B. Then when i do a Goods Issue to the customer, it asks for the receiving plant. I assume this means that the stock moves from Plant B to Plant C.
Also, from the reading i did on the forum, i get the impression that i need to create more than one Company Code if i were to do
third-party PO. Do the Vendors have to be created in a different company code then the Customer? Or does it mean that Just the
plant (like Plant A) needs to be created in a different Company Code then Plant B and Plant C?
3) can i do third-party PO using only ONE company code?
Can anyone provide some clarification on this issue? I've read tons of posting but none really helped clear this issue up.
Thanks so much.

Dear Kishore,
Individual PO processing is not third party process at all. In third party process the vendor delivers the goods dirctly to the customer - please check what SAP help says.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/dd/5601d4545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm
Dear Queyen,
One important point of third party process is that there's no need to keep stock of materials - that is in harmony with reality. Why does your customer want to keep stock from the goods if they doesn't receive at all? Is it coreect? It doesn't correspond to the fact.
You can do statistical (ghost) GR against the third-party PO and you can see the goods movement in MB51 - I think this should be enough.

Can we assign more than one sales org to one company code ?

can we assign more than one sales org to one company code ?
or one as to one only ?
why sales org is assigned at company code level why not on plant level ?
regards

Multiple sales organizations can be assigned to company code.
Company code is the highest organizational unit and plant and sales organization are assigned to it.
In the logistics module, Plant is the highest entity in the MM module and Sales organization is the highest entity in SD module. Basically with this assignment of plant and sales org to company code all the financial accounts are updated.
Assigning of Sales org to company code and not to plant is the standard functionality that helps map most business processes.

Multiple dispute case types for one company code

Hi Experts
I am trying to design a solution for external system interfacing with SAP FSCM. Requirement is to create dispute cases for short pays automatically using program FDM_AUTO_CREATE (which is normal standard SAP process). We are also creating complaints in third party system based out of our data from SAP. When these are getting created in third party, we need to interface back into SAP and create Dispute (against compalint created in third party). I am thinking of using program FDM_AUTO_CREATE to create disputes based on company code/document number/fiscal year/line item etc.
To differentiate between disputes and complaints i am proposing to create new case type (other than dispute case type) and have its own number range assigned to it, so that it can be easily recognised in SAP. But as per standard SAP setting one company code can have only one default case type assigned to it and whenever i create cases using FDM_AUTO_CREATE, system always picks up only one case type.
Is there any standard setting so that system can create complaint cases in SAP with different case type (other than default dispute case type) while using auto create program?
Thanks in advance
Aleem

This is an common question when implementing SAP TCM for trade promotions where claims/ disputes go to CRM for approval.
We have overcome this by leaving the standard dispute case type in the default settings. We then activate a BAdI - FDM_AR_DEF_CASE_TYPE. We create a Z table that we linked to in the BAdI - that had company code and reason code - and put the additional case type in the table linked to a reason code. By adding a reason code (FI-AR) to the specific items, when you create the dispute it will call the BAdI and table and use the extra dispute case type as opposed to the standard one.

Two sales org in One company code

Hi all,
I know u can assign two or more sales org to one company code.
But if i have one common customer i.e one Customer No for both the Sales org's how do I differentiate which open items belong to which sales org when running my open item report in FI. The Sales org data is not transfered to the FI Posting. Is a user Exit and diff numer ranges in SD the only possibility? is there no sap Standard for this.
Thanks

HI,
Are Business areas/Division of this customer same?
Reference number and allocation numbers are transferred to accounting documents.In customizing for copy control in billing,you can define which numbers will be copied as reference or allocation numbers.
Like - Sales order number,delivery number and Billing documents etc...
From sales order number you can know sales organization.
The reference number is in the header of the accounting document and is used for clearing.
The allocation number is in the customer line item and is used for sorting line numbers.

hi,
I am trying to create a Stock Transport Order (STO) with document type UB and item category U. My objective is to transfer material from Plant (supplying plant) 100 to Plant (receiving plant) 1100 within one company code (1000) with STO.
For this purpose I created a raw material 1434 in plant 1000 with sales org 1 view and in that view entered in delivering plant field 1000 as delivery plant. After that I extended material 1434 to plant 1100 without changing anything what I did while creating the material first in Plant 1000 except in organizational level I entered 1100 in the plant field. I entered Sales org 1000 and distribution channel 10 in organization level for both plant while creating and extending the material. In me21n I chose Stock Transport Order with document type UB and item category as U also receiving Plant as 1100. With this when I tried to save the STO the message, I am getting an error, Cannot determine shipping data for the material 1434?
I am doing solely mm function why I need to create Customer master? In this case plant 1100 is the customer right?
Solution:
1. Mat.(1434) should be maintained in both the plants. (1000&1100).
2. Should have enough stock in supplying plant(1000).
3. Make its supplying plant as a vendor in vendor master record in receiving plant(1100).
4. Make it receiving plant as a customer in customization.
    Create customer (xd01) & and define the shipping data for plants in both the plants.
    Path: spro u2013 img u2013 m.mgmt u2013 purchasing u2013 po u2013 set up STO u2013 define shipping data (1 by1 )
    In Receiving plant (1100)                         In Supplying plant (1000)
    Customer num. 123345 (for ex.)              Customer num. -
(don't fill)
    Sales org.yyy
    Dist. Channel
    Sales div. y
5. Assign doc. Type is "NL" for intra company STO. If STO is inter company, Assign doc. Type is "NLCC".
    Position doc type is "UB"
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & doc type (NL) & checking rule (ex:01)
6. Assign doc. Type is "UB" to u'r plants.(PO)
    Go for new entries
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & Receiving plant (1100) & doc type (UB).
7. Create a PO, choose the doc type is `UB' & item cat.'U', Enter supplying plant as a vendor in PO of the receiving plant(1100).
8. Provide this num (PO) to SD people, they will do the delivery by using transactional code is VL10B.
9. Sales people they will provide "out bound delivery num".
10. Do the GR. In GR the second tab 05 out bound delivery instead of PO mov.type 101.
11. See the stock over view in the receiving & supplying plants.
thanking you

Implication for keeping one Company Code

Hi All,
Can some one give me implications or disadvantage of having one company code. The scenario I am doing rollout for Germany and Germany is having their branches in Spain, France, Sweden and Switzerland.
Over here Germany is main office and all other countries are branches of Germany. Now there are into non SAP. Only Germany has sale and purchase authority of on behalf of Spain, France and Switzerland and their customer and vendors are in Germany company code. And Sweden has its own sales and purchase. Also all the asset which are purchased in Spain France countries belongs to Germany. Now We are doing rollout for these countries and having MM,SD, FI (AP,AR, Asset, Cost center accounting, Profit center Accounting and Profitability Analysis)
My client wants to go for one company code i.e Germany so all the purchase and sale of Sweden will come under Germany company code. And Sweden has its local currency as Krona.
Now what will be implication or disadvantage on Chart of Account, B/S, P and L, Currency Reporting, Foreign Currency Evaluation, Intrastat reporting, TAX ect.
I am also convincing client to go for 2 company code
So f some one can guide me that will be very help full
Thanks in Advance.

Kiran.

hi....
You may define profit centers and company codes independently of each another.
In a company code, you can assign transactions to one or more business areas.
you can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code
reporting.
so its possibe that one business area being used for more than one company code

NL -NORM -V sym will pick Item category NLN of Delivery not of sale order.
NLN-NN(Schedule line)
Generally we know the SL which is determined by item category and MRP type , here item category is coming only in RP delivery document.

Question 2. In 641 the cost has been updating /Accounting document is getting generatiing where as in VF01 billing doc not relevent for Accounting doc .so how we can settle or balance the cost of this material while occured in 641 or PGI?
Question 3.What are the business benifits while doing STO?

Auto closing of dispute cases--only for some company codes

Hi
We have activated dispute management for several company codes in our system. The auto closing of dispute cases also has been activated in status management. Cases are automatically closed by the system (through a batch job) when the last disputed object is cleared.
Now there is a requirement to deactivate auto closing only for some company codes. They want to close cases manually in these company codes.
Is this possible and if so how?
Regards
Raj.

You cannot deselect at a company code level.
Can we go through you proposed process.
So you have a dispute for $100.
The customer pays it and the dispute closes.
Then the customer calls up and says they have an issue with the invoice they paid previously.
I have seen this happen before but there was a little twist
1 - The customer raised a debit note against the client for the issue that they had. The original invoice is cleared but a debit note is created and then disputed and processed. So you can close the original dispute and create a new dispute against the debit note
2 - The customer paid the wrong invoice. The dispute was closed. However to rectify the miss allocation the clearing document will be reversed meaning the dispute is "re-opened" and can be processed.
I am unaware of any other requirement for a customer to "re-dispute" a paid item in SAP.

If yes, please through light on it.

Hi ,
As far i know it is not possible to have two different address for the same company code.As table can hold only single unique data.
As far as the above answer is concerned, we use International version fo Customers not for Company Codes.
Hope it helps.

More than one posting period variant for one company code

Dear Colleagues,
My question is if it's somehow possible to assign more than one posting period variant to one company code? (I am not a FI specialist...)
(We are using the new GL and would like to define a special posting period interval for a non-leading ledger. The c.codes already exists and are already assigned to a posting period variant.)
The reason for why we would need an additional posting period variant for an existing c.code, is because we are already using both posting period intervals in t.code OB52.)
Best regards
Viveka Schwartz

Hi
You can assign a PPV to the Non Leading ledger separately.. That means both Leading and NOn Leading ledgers can have separate PPVs
Apart from this, no 3rd PPV is possible.. As Eli said, Validation is the only option, but I think Validations work for Leading ledgers only
