Theme of company code & businesss area

Dear Friends,
I want to know what are the merit & demerit of one company code having four plant & for each plant having indivisual company code & what are the advantageses of business area points must be rewarded .
Thanks
Amin

Actually its not the point of mirets and demerit
Actually we should take the decision on the actual org structure that is for your client.
all the legal companies should be consider as company code ie ask how many balance sheet and P&L statment are they making and submitting to GOVT
If one then only one company code. this is the thumb rule.
u can make company codes as many as ur plants but it will have lot of issues
FI will know it better more
SAP will make the Balansheet and P&L for each company code and then how will u concildate to show it to govt.
TDS will have issue, as we will have to give TDS to govt for a legal company that is registred and its not possible to miss diffrent compony code together and make one TDS report
and ther could me other
IN terms of MM there is nothing much legal obstruction
but u will have to lot of setting on company code level
hope this gives soeme idea
Reward accordingly

Changing company code - controlling area assignment

Hi
For one of our company code controlling area set up is "Controlling area same as company code"_ and the currency type 10 i.e. company code currency. We are unable to assign another company code to contolling area because of the current set.
I would like to know whether there will be any impact if I change the set up to "Cross company-code cost accounting" and currency type to 30.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi Somar,

Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent

Hi Gurus ,
can you please tell what i should do when the system gives the message that Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent . this is happening when i post document in FB50.

Owing to program or transport errors, the company code assignment of profit centers may not be stored correctly.
This inconsistent data then causes program terminations or short dumps in further processing.
This note contains the report ZPCA40B_CHECK_CEPC_BUKRS, which checks the consistency of the company code assignment and corrects possible errors.

Cross company codes CO area

Hi,
What are the pre-requisites to be taken care seriously for a setup where more than one company codes will be assigned to a single controlling area (business in europe and India). The assigned company codes will have different currency and different fiscal varinat. One company code in europe so it has Jan to dec month in fiscal year with 12 posting periods. Other one (Indian business) has Apr- march (next year) in fiscal year variant with 13 posting period.
Thanks

Hi
In addition to the points highlighted above, I would like to highlight a few points/gaps
1. Asset closing is linked to Leading Ledger only.. You wont be able to perform any closing for the parallel ledger
2. If you plan to do LTP, you will face challenges... At one time, you can do LTP for one company code only... OMIK settings dont allow multiple company codes as the option.. I have also raised a development request with SAP a couple of years ago for this
3. With regards to planning in CO module - If you choose single controlling area, One of your companies will have to adopt the planning period as per the other company i.e. Either the Indian company will have to adopt Jan-Dec as planning period OR the European company will have to adopt Apr-Mar...Because, Planning in CO happens purely at the controlling area level
4. Period control in CO is also at Controlling area level and not company code..
5. If controlling area currency and comp code currency is different, you face challenges in using IM module as well... I dont recollect this very strongly, as I faced this problem a long time back
My personal choice is to have a separate controlling area when your geographies are different and fiscal year is different...Though the new functionalities of New GL and Parallel ledger are popularized enough, but one needs to look at the flip side of the same as well
Having separare controlling area gives you the flexibility and I dont see any drawbacks of it... You can very well draw the reports together because all report painter/BW reports allow you to customize the reports as you wish

Company code - CO area reassignment, internal orders allocations

Hello,
On Jan. 12th, 2009, we have carried out a reassignment of several company codes to a new CO area. One of the many issues we've got to face now is to re-allocate the postings made to the old internal orders within 2009, to the new IO created for the present CO area, leaving those old IO without postings.
Since it is not possible to make CO allocations across controlling areas, how could we solve it?
Regards,
P.S.: Our SAP release is 4.6 C

Hi,
For currency type '10' (Company code currency), there is the additional requirement that all company codes assigned manage the same currency as the controlling area. Use Group Currency (30) as your Controlling area currency.
Currency type 20 is only known by cost accounting, whereas currency type 30 is known generally in Financial Accounting. Therefore, data transmission via the modules CO, AM, and FI works without any difficulties if type 30 is used by all. Also, refer SAP note # 119428.
Hope this helps.

Company code problem in Controlling area Tcodes

Hi All,
We are following role based authorisation for creating roles for FI/CO module and we are seggregating roles as per the company codes.We are assigning Tcodes like KO01,KO02,KO03(Internal order) and KS01,KS02,KS03(cost center) which are connected with Controlling area in one role.We have 5 company codes and we are trying to create 5 roles with the above Tcodes for 5 different company codes.
The problem we encountered is when we entered the Tcodes in the role, and we get to the 'Change authrisation data' option in the 'Authorisation' tab in PFCG, the system is not prompting for the Company code organisational level. Hence in this case, a user will be able to access the above mentined Tcodes for all the company codes. But we need to create a role in such a way that a user who is assigned this role is only able to access Tcode like KO01,02,03 etc for his company code only and should not be authorized to access these Tcodes for remaining 4 company codes.
Can anybody please help me with a way to restrict these Tcodes to a particular company code in our scenario.
Thanks and Regards,
Abdul Khyoom A.

Hi Ashok,
Thanks for the response.
Here in my case, when I insert the Tcodes related to conrolling like(KO01,KO02,KO03 etc) in a role, then I dont find any authorization objects(bukrs) which is related to the company code in the authorization genaration area in PFCG. So there is no way I can maintain values in them.
Please suggest any alternate solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code

Hi,
Due to my client requirement, in the middle of the year, we need to change the controlling area from being same as company code to cross company code controlling area. Although the currency is same. We are going to create a new company code. Is the changing controlling area settings possible to do? what are the precautions and changes need to be taken?
One more question, we need to change the company code when the new company code is created in the system in Cost Center Masters in the middle of the year. Is this possible after changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code. Right now company code is not appearing in the cost center master.
Thanks & Regards,
Saidarao

Hi,
If both companies having transaction data its not possible,Normally before defining Organisational Strucutre only we have to deside both companies is assigning same controlling are or have to maitain separately for this we have to compare the Fiscal year,Operating chart of accounts ,if both having same then we will assign both the company codes to one controlling area if these two companies having different currencies also its not a problem.When we creating Controlling Area we have to choose option of controlling area as same company code (if one company code one controlling Area) for example if you assigning two companies then we have to use cross company code cost accounting.If u need any further information let me know.

Cross company code validation in CO Area

Dear All Experts,
I am having one query regarding cross company code validation in CO area. I have ticked Cross company code validation in controlling area, and it is working perfect.
we have total 11 company codes. 10 for US & 1 for Canada. Say 1001 to 1010 US company codes & Canda it is 1101.
The requirement is :-
Now client wants to post cross company code transaction within these 10 US company codes and it should not throw an error ( Ideally which is giving right now ). It should give error only when posting to US company code transaction and Canada Cost Center or Internal Order.
Can we restrict the company code for cross posting validation ? OR Can selected company codes set for validation indicator ?
Experts guidance will be great on this.
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

Dear,
Murali.
Thanks for your reply.
As you said :- Validation check applies for all the company codes which are assigned to your controlling area.
Means simply we can not apply this option to selective company codes, Right ?
Once it is ticked it is applicable to all company codes.

Sharvari Joshi.

Unwanted G/L Codes in a new Company Code

We at Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. have created a New Company Code 0114 - Pantaloon Food Products India Ltd.
The same has been created by copying an existing Company Code 0101- Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.
While doing it some unwanted G/Ls have been copied and been transported to Production.
Now no transaction has been done in any of the G/Ls in the Company Code.
We are proposing to delete these G/Ls by following method:
1.Making Company Code non productive thru OBR3.
2.Deletion of G/L for the specific Co. Code thru OBR2.
We want to know if it is technically the correct way of doing it.Will there be any adverse impact on the functional aspects of the system.
Can the G/Ls be re created, if needed, at a later date?
With Rgds.,
Rakesh Kumar
09324847499

Hi,
I presume, both of these companies use the same chart of accounts, right? If it's only several G/Ls, I'd suggest to mark them for deletion or block them in Company Code. Of course, you will be abrle to create the m again (FS00) or unblock them in the future.

Set up Payment Methods Per Company code for Transaction

Hi All,
Can any expert please suggest whether do we need to enter only paying company codes while defining the payment methods per company code or enter all company codes.
Ex: We have 10 company codes for which there are 3 paying company codes. After defining the payment methods in the country, while defining payment methods per company code do we need to define for only 3 paying company codes or for all 10 company codes. Because when you are paying through one company code on behalf of three company codes, how does it make sense having the payment method in company codes which are not paying. I hope my query is sensible.
Thanks&Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
You should define the payment method in all the 10 company codes regarding they are the paying or non paying company code.
If you are not defining them they you will not have the option to select the payment for that particular company code.

pbb

One accountant process several company code

Hi,
Previously, our SAP server has only one company code, so all accountants do not need to switch between company codes.
Now, we will have another company code set up, but the accountant is same, which means whey will do transaction in SAP for two company codes. They need to switch between company code, and may enter doc to wrong company code.
We cannot limit by authorizaiton object-comapny code, as all the accountant will process for two company codes.
Do you have any advice how to prevent accountant enter doc to wrong company code?
Thanks.

Hi,
if a SAP-User is allowed to work within differnet organizational units (company code, controlling area, plants,...) there is not authorization check possible.
The accountants I know which are working for several company codes plan their tasks company code wise. That means (example) first they post all incoming invoices for comp. code A, after that comp. code B, on monday they make payment run for comp.code A, on tuesday for B,...
Nobody of them has problems with documents posted in the wrong comp. code.
Best regards, Christian

Company Code -Purchase Org - Org structure

We have two company code and few plants assigned to company code, we are planning to set up one purchase org for both the company code, but it didn't works for me , is it possible to assign one pur org to two company code, we want to procure materials for all pur org
Thanks
Jj

Hi
As per SAP
You have the following options:
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
so you cannot assign one purchase org to more than one company code. If you want to assign Then you need to assign it to the plants attched to them.
Thanks & Regards
