Using Country Specific Chart of Account in addition to Operational COA

Dear Team
We are implementing 16 company codes with Group COA A002 and
Operational COA A001 across all companies. Out of 16 Company codes 4
company codes already went live and running successfully. We are also
using one controlling area and operating concern for all company codes.
Out of 16 company codes there are 2 company codes from Turkey and
requires Turkey Country specific COA to be used mandatorily. But we
would like use same COA A001 for Turkey company codes in order to use
one Controlling Area across group which is not fulfilling the legal
requirement of the Turkey. We would like to use Country specific COA in
addition to the Operational COA and the same will be assigned to the
Company code in OB62.
In this case we need to create GL Accounts under Turkey COA and assign
the same in the Operational COA as alternate Account no.
In this case can we meet all the Turkey country specific legal
requirements as given below through Alternate GL Accounts No?Turkey Legal Requirements:
1.Country Specific GL account numbering
2.Reflection accounting
    - Monthly Closing for Expenses Accounts
    - Yearly closing for Expenses and Balance Sheet accounts
3.Inflation Accounting- Presently not using
4.Country Specific Reporting
5.Bank accounting- Bills if Exchange
6.Print out of Transactions in Turkish language
7.Cost of Sales statement
8.Document Journal
9.Taxes on Sales & Purchases
Please help in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. Create country COA in OB13
2. Assign it to your company code in OB62
3. Create GL accounts in your country COA
4. Assign country GL account to your operating COA gl account(FS00 > Control data > Alternative account no.)
5. System doesn't allow you to assign country COA gl if already has the balance
So, change message settings accordingly in OBA5
6. You can see financials from your country COA also as F.01 & F.08(Select Alternative Account Number)

Country-Specific Chart of Accounts

Hi Gurus,
In the Chart of Accounts definition, it tells us that you can assign in total 3 Chart of Accounts for a GL account:
1. Operating Chart of Account - For daily transactions
2. Group Chart of Account - Corporate level reporting
3. Country-Specific Chart of Accounts - Local laws/currency specific
I am aware that Operating and Group Chart of Account you can simply configure within the GL account. My question is, where do I set-up the Country-Specific Chart of Accounts to assign to a GL account?
Thanks,
Josef

Hi Josef
1. Country G/L account number in the sense a G/L account which is created under the country COA
2. At the end of the day, Country COA creation is the same as any COA. So, the G/L accounts that you create under a country COA are created in the same way as for a normal COA. If you use FS00 to create an operational COA G/L account say 123, you use the same transaction code to create Country COA G/L account say 456 (In the COA field, you select your country COA instead of operational COA). Once both 123 and 456 are created, you go into G/L account 123, and assign 456 in the alternative account number field in the control data tab. This is how you link G/L accounts under both COA's.
3. The purpose of having 2 different COA's is to report your Financial statements in 2 different formats. In a client, it is prefered that we have a single operational COA for all the company codes so that other aspects like Controlling area do not pose any design concerns. In such a case, you have country COA assigned to each company code as well so that you can report as per the country requirements.

Source for Same GL Account(SKA1) used in multiple Chart Of Accounts(T004)

If Same GL Account is used in multiple Chart Of Accounts. Does SAP Source it from a single GL Account source or it creates a completely new records for the GL Accounts in all the Chart Of Accounts independently. Lets take for an example Accounts Receivable GL Account if this is used for many Chart Of Accounts does the GL Account for Accounts Receivable has the master record and all the Chart Of Accounts use the same GL Account master record for that Accounts Receivable Account.

1) So Inorder to find one GLAccount I need to know the Chart Of Accounts of that GL account I am looking for as same GL Account number with same name can exist in different Chart Of Accounts.
2) You referrred GL Code. Is that synonym for GL Account Number.
   I am little stuck with the name
   what is the difference between General Ledger(Is that nothing but a Chart Of Accounts) and General Ledger Account.
   GL Account in SKA1 as it seems like "GL Account for Chart Of Accounts" instead of "GL Account" as every GL Account   has to be accompanied by Chart Of Accounts.
Example: If I say "Accounts Receivable " as GL Account I dont know whether that is in Chart Of Accounts1 or Chart Of Accounts2

Then Login as USER1, tied to create new journal,
than the windows show up automatically the account,
It was chart of account with seqment company,department, account, sub-account, product.
Actually that I wanted was to create journal using my chart of accounts with segment company, division and account.

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.

Chart of Account and Country COA

Hi All,
Can some tell me difference between Chart of Accounts and Country Chart of Accounts. And for What purpose Country Chart of Accounts is used.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
Chart of Accounts
Definition
This is a list of all G/L accounts used by one or several company codes.
For each G/L account, the chart of accounts contains the account number, account name, and the information that controls how an account functions and how a G/L account is created in a company code.
Use
You have to assign a chart of accounts to each company code. This chart of accounts is the operating chart of accounts and is used for the daily postings in this company code.
You have the following options when using multiple company codes:
You can use the same chart of accounts for all company codes
If the company codes all have the same requirements for the chart of accounts set up, assign all of the individual company codes to the same chart of accounts. This could be the case if all company codes are in the same country.
In addition to the operating chart of accounts, you can use two additional charts of accounts
If the individual company codes need different charts of accounts, you can assign up to two charts of accounts in addition to the operating chart of accounts. This could be the case if company codes lie in multiple countries.
The use of different charts of accounts has no effect on the balance sheet and profit and loss statement. When creating the balance sheet or the profit and loss statement, you can choose whether to balance the company codes which use different charts of accounts together or separately.
Structure
Charts of accounts can have three different functions in the system:
Operating chart of accounts
The operating chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that you use for posting in your company code during daily activities. Financial Accounting and Controlling both use this chart of accounts.
You have to assign an operating chart of accounts to a company code.
Group chart of accounts
The group chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the company to provide reports for the entire corporate group.
The assigning of an corporate group chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Country-specific chart of accounts
The country-specific chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts needed to meet the country's legal requirements. This allows you to provide statements for the country's legal requirements.
The assigning of an country-specific chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Integration
The operating chart of accounts is shared by Financial Accounting as well as Controlling. The accounts in a chart of accounts can be both expense or revenue accounts in Financial Accounting and cost or revenue elements in cost/revenue accounting. You can find additional information on this subject under Cost Accounting and Chart of Accounts.
Thanks,
Rau

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.

How to link operative chart of a/c, group chart of a/c to country specific

how we link operative chart of accounts,group chart of accounts to country specific chart of accounts.
how to maintain account groups and accounts to get consolidated report.

Group chart of account is used for reporting purpose only.
business senario
your organization is spread into different countries where by they are legally bound to submitt account at a very detailed level but in other country it may be at a different pattern. what you can do is assign different operational chart of account to each company code (legal requirement) and assign all of those operational chart of accounts to a group chart of account i.e how your organization wants to see the accounts. by doing this you can have the report the way you want them to be regardless what operational chart of account the company code is using
example
your group company want to see salary at   A01101 Employee related expenses
in Asian specific breakup is to be made at 11000 salary
                                                              12000 allowances
in other countries detail is to be given at 11001 Salary officeres
                                                           11002 Salary Staff
in this case you can create 2 different operational chart of accounts for asia and other countries and than assign the same operational chart of account to your main chart of account
remember the group chart of account has to be created as normal chart of accounts
than assign each GL code to group account no
as far as the alternative no is concerned they can only be used for reporting purpose and alternate no helps the user to find the new GL code

No corporate chart of accounts is defined for your chart of accounts

Hi
I want to know what can be the reason if GLs exist at the chart of accounts level and not at the comany code level even though the company code is assigned to the chart of accounts .
When I go to create the Gl at CoCd leve it says 'No corporate chart of accounts is defined for your chart of accounts'.
Please suggest, (the Chart of accounts has been copied)

hi,
the chart of accounts are three types
1.operating chart of accounts
2.Country chart of accounts
3.group chart of accounts
Charts of accounts can have three different functions in the system:
Operating chart of accounts
The operating chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that you use for posting in your company code during daily activities. Financial Accounting and Controlling both use this chart of accounts.
You have to assign an operating chart of accounts to a company code.
Group chart of accounts
The group chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the company to provide reports for the entire corporate group.
The assigning of an corporate group chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Country-specific chart of accounts
The country-specific chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts needed to meet the country's legal requirements. This allows you to provide statements for the country's legal requirements.
The assigning of an country-specific chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Use
You can enter a group account number as additional information in the G/L accounts of the chart of accounts you are using. The system checks whether the group account number exists in the corporate chart of accounts.
Example
If the structure of the chart of accounts is predetermined by national legal requirements, you can define a corporate chart of accounts. All accounts receive a group account number which is the same for all accounts of that particular type in various different charts of accounts.
For consolidation purposes, you can define the balance sheet and P+L by using group account numbers, i.e. they do not need to be defined differently per country.

FR102- co.code & chart of accounts are incompatible

Dear All
One of Co.Codes is using country chart of accounts .
While executing Financial Statements report with country chart of accounts, I am getting the error messageu2026FR102- Co.Code & chart of accounts are incompatible.
I assigned country Chart of accounts in OB62 and OBY6.
Please provide me the solution....
Thanks,
Laxman

Hi,
When you run the financial statement report (RFBILA00), you need to specify your COA in the field *Country Specific Chart of
Accounts* on the selection screen.
Enter the below:-
- company code
- financial statement version
- reporting year and periods
- click the checkbox next to 'Alternative account number'
- do not enter any chart of accounts
If in the specified 'financial statement version' the alternative chart of accounts with alternative account number is assigned to
the fin.statement items this procedure should work. Refer the below OSS note 48495:-

HIi
Mater chart of accounts is nothing but the main account that is created at the client level.
we have 3 COA
1. Group chart of accounts
2.country specific chart of accounts
3. Operating chart of accounts
we can have maximum 3 chart of acocunts assigned to each company code
Company code chart of accounts is can be operating chart of account which contains the group of account used by that company...
If some specific requireement is there for the country reporting purpose than we need to use that and maintain that ,
Group chart of account is used for the consolidation purpose.
like we have 6 company codes under one company in differnet countries.. so here they will have one common COA which will consilidate the business of all 6 company codes...
Hope u understand wht u wanted..

Group and country specific acc in operating coa

hi,
the same chart of account is shared among countries in the same region. there are 3 kind of gl account, example for sales account : 50000000-51999999, I50000000-I51999999 and L50000000-L51999999. they in the same coa but different acc group.
also no assignment done in ob13 and ob62.
i will assume I for group and L for local but both of them not in group coa and country specific coa but in the operating coa.
1) may i know what is the difference for this as compared to account sitting in individual coa (group and country specific)
2) what benefit of this kind of coa design as compared to different coa ( group and country specific)
3) as all are sitting in operating coa, if i want to post to, say, L50001000, if different coa, then i will post to 50001000 then in the assignment will have the corresponding L50001000 account. this L50001000 will be posted automatically.
but now all are sitting in the same coa, does it mean we need to define in the transaction explicitly when doing the posting?
thanks
