While doing cross company code postings I get an error

Hi experts,
I have an issue on cross company code postings through FB60. There is a vendor account which has been extended to both company codes. The amount of invoice is Rs.10000 of which 6000 to be accounted in company code 1000 and 4000 in company code 5000. When this is done we get an error 'A unique company code has not been assigned to company number A001'.
After trying several options, I have found one solution. In the test system I Went to classify FI document types for document splitting, against document type KR transaction 0300 (Vendor invoice) was there. I changed to 0000 (unspecified posting). Once this was done, I was able to post cross company transactions without any problem.
I would like to know as to what would be the impact? Would this change create any other issue?
I request you to give your expert opinion on this.

Dear,
When you are posting vendor Invoice through FB60 then system creates accounting document "KR" and when document splitting is activated in system the you have to assign Doc type KR to Transaction 0300 and 0001.
This is standard requirement. There will not be any changes by doing this.
Hope it is clear..

Restrict cross CO area postings and allow cross company code postings

" There are two Controlling areas CA01 and CA02, for the controlling area CA02 the field CO code validation is inactive to allow cross company code postings ie., (Cost center created in one company code can be used as cost object in other company code ) Also this allows any WBS element created in controlling area CA01 as cost object in any of the company codes assigned in controlling area CA02,
Due to usage of WBS element which is created in CA01 controlling area as cost object in company code belongs to controlling area CA02, business is facing problem while doing the settlement run with error message " Document data for list of origins does not exist"
So, I have activated the field Co code validation in the controlling area CA02, which stopped the usage of WBS element between controlling areas. Also this had restricted usage of cost object between company codes with in controlling area CA02.
Now is there anyway to allow cost object usage between company codes assigned in one controlling area (CA02) and restrict usage of WBS element created in controlling area CA01 in any company code assigned in controlling area CA02.

Hi,
As you have already activated the Co Code validation you cant restrict that only to WBS. But you can have another option
Use the validation process to restrict these errors
This may help

Value date cross company code postings

Dear all,
it is possible to influence the value date on a company code level via the transaction OB68. With this transaction you can state that the current date is used as the default value for the value date when entering line items.This works fine when posting a G/L posting within the same company code.
When entering a cross company code posting, the indicator in transaction OB68 is ignored and the document date is used to be proposed as default value for the value date.
Does anyone know which SAP parameters can influence the value date for cross company code postings ? If this is not standard SAP possible, does anyone already encountered this problem and, if so, how did one solve this issue ?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Kristof

thank you for the reply ... unfortunately I expected some Z-programmation

Cross-company code postings - FI validation

Hi,
We start using the cross-company code postings (transaction OBYA) between company code A and company code B and have to give authorizations both company codes to the Finance users. The idea is to have a set of G/L accounts which are allowed to be used when company code A and B are posted via cross-company code posting.
SAP recommends to implement a validation in FI to restrict the Intercompany scenatios. I attempted to create a FI validation for complete document (call-point 3) with no success:
1)
IC Rule: BSEG-BUKRS = A and BSEG-BUKRS = B and BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC rule
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
When I test it, the Intercompany clearing account configured in OBYA, and which is in ACCOUNTSET, shows up in the error message, which unwanted.
2)
IC Rule 1: BKPF-BUKRS = '0017' AND BKPF-BUKRS = '0005'
IC Rule 2: BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC Rule 1 --> IC Rule 2
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
No error message is issued at all, even if the G/L account is not in ACCOUNTSET.
Please advise what I am missing.

Hi Nitin,
Thank you for your feeback.
I just wanted to clarify that the cross-company code posting is when company code A can intitiate a posting to company code B simultaneously (for example Intercompany re-charge, cash concentration, etc.). The trigger for cross-company code posting is the company code field on the line item. If company code A is in the header (BKPF-BUKRS) and at least one document line item filled up as company code B, the system created two documents for each company code, offsetting the Intercompany clearing account, configured in OBYA.
For example:
Posting via FB50: Leading company code = company code A (BKPF-BUKRS)
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200; Company code A (as a default)
Item 2: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100; Company code B (manually changed)
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300; Company code A (as a default)
The systen creates two postings:
Posting 1: company code A
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200;
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300;
Item 2: Debit ; I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
Posting 2: company code B
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100;
Item 2: Credit;I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
The only connection between the two is the cross-company code number (BKPF-BVORG), which assigned by the system once posted, as a logical connection.
I guess we could use a dedicated document type. If that's the case, how would the validation work then?
Coudl you please share more details on the BTE option?
Thank you,
Inna

Prevent cross-company code postings for certain document type

Hi all!
I am looking for a possibility to prevent users from posting a "cross-company code posting" just for a certain document type.
I checked validation rules and BTEs but without success. Do you have an idea?
Thanks for any support.
Michael

Thanks for your reply. I have already tried to use a validation rule, but without success.
It did not work as the relevant field "New company code" (NEWBK) in not part of BKPF or BSEG, but (only) of structure RF05A. Thus, I cannot use the field in a validation rule.
Or is there a way to make RF05A fields available for use in validation rules?

Cross Company Code Incoming Payment Clearing

Dear All
Good day to you.
I would be grateful if I could get advice on the following:
Process:
Company Code A is receiving Payment from Customer Z of Company Code B
Present SAP Treatment
F-02 Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited.
F-32 Customer Z's Invoice of Company Code B cleared against the Payment received by Company Code A.
Hence this has become a two step process.
Ideal solution needed
In F-28 or similar other transaction
Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited and clearing also carried out then and there?
To achieve the ideal solution above what are the configurations (if any) needed.
Thanking you in advance.

Siddique

Hello,
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
The system will post three document.
Document 1 in First Company Code
Document 2 in Second Company Code
and
Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
Please let me know in case if you need further details.

Cross-company code clearance

Dear Experts,
Can anybody tell me the following requirement for our client ...
In cross company code clearance, will it be possible to limit only TWO company codes, so that it would be easy for reconcile the accounts.
Your early response is highly appreciated.

Hello,
I am not able to understand your query. You may explain with a business case example to get better reply.
The following text may be useful.
Hello,
You can post cross company code transactions, means first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Therefore, in first company code you need an offsetting entry to balance the document, in the same way in second company code you need an offsetting entry to balance the document. Therefore, you need to configure OBYA.
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area.

Version 4.6c Cross Company Code Incoming payment to lockbox.

In version 4.6c I am trying to find out the correct IMG configuration for processing incoming payments to a lockbox when multiple companies are using one company for banking. Here is what I have done so far:
Here are the company codes: 2100 has house banks and lockbox set up.
0980 does not have house bank or lockbox.
OX16 - all both company codes involved are assigned to the same Company.
OBVU - Non-bank company code 0980 has 2100 set up as Paying Company Code
OBYA - Clearing accounts have been set up between 0980-2100.
OB05 - Accounting Clerk has been set up for both company codes.
OB10 - Lockbox from 2100 has been set up for 0980. Even though 0980 does not have a House bank set up, IMG Configuration did allow the lockbox and house bank for 2100 to be saved under 0980.
OB96 - Forms to be used were linked to 0980
One issue we are having is that when we attempt to set up a Customer for 0980 a field for Lockbox is required to be entered. When the 2100 Lockbox is input, an error message pops up saying that 0980 does not have a House Bank.
Can someone please explain how to complete the configuration for this type of activity in version 4.6c? Also should we be using F-28, FB05 or some other t-code to post incoming payments.

Document splitting issues in Cross company code scenario

Hi
We have the following business scenario:
(Please note : Document splitting with Real time CO-FI integration is active)
1)one company(say, Co.code X) purchases on behalf of another group
company(Co.code Y)
2)the cost center of Co.code Y is given in the 'Account assignment' tab
in the Purchase order created in 'X'.
3)The PO is created in foreign currency
4)So, when the Goods receipt happens, the expense posting is happening
in Co.code Y and the GRIR entry is in X.
5)When the invoice is posted in co.code X, the Vendor Open item (in
foreign currency) gets created in X.
6)The problem occurs when Forex.valuation is done for the Vendor open
item. The Forex.gain/loss is getting posted in Co.code X by deriving
the Cost object from the expense posting in Co.code Y. Now, the system
is giving an error message 'CO object doesnt belong to X co.code'
I beleive this is the way document splitting normally works by deriving
the CO object form the original expense posting onto the subsequent
documents but I guess, it is failing in this scenario. Please let me
know if there is a work around to resolve this issue.
Regards
Ravi

We normally do the independent splitting of documents in respective company codes (This being the limitation mentioned by SAP for cross company code postings).
In the document split configuration, for Define document splitting rule, check for the leading item for cross company code transactions, and check for the item categories to be edited. The following two entries will be there
1100 Company Code Clearing CC = CC of leading item
1100 Company Code Clearing CC <> CC of leading item
In case of independent splitting, remove the first entry and check.
Thanks and Regards,
Mamta Sarda

Payment term is not being pickedup in cross company code transaction

Dear Friends,
In one of the cross company code transaction scenarios (MIRO), We post a invoice in HQ books to bill on outside vendor. In subsidiary books one more cross company code document will get generated automatically, as billing on HQ as a vendor. In that second document, payment term is not being pickedup.
eg., A is HQ and B is subsidiary company
I post invoice in A books as B account debit and outside vendor credit.
In B books one more entry will get generated automatically as GRIR account debit and A (defined as vendor in B books) account credit.
In B Books payment terms are maintained in vendor master record (A vendor).
But still the payment terms are not being pickedup in that document. Because of this, it is taking the document date itself as net due date.
Please suggest, how to proceed to pick some payment term in that document.
Regards
Suresh

Hi
Assign the payment terms in Purchase Organisation level in Vendor Master Record.

Cross company code posting

hi
while posting cross company code posting in F-02 for customer,the open item is not cleared
ex: com.code:1000 have customer debit balance
the customer paid to com.code 2000
in f-02, 40 bank in com.code:2000
15 cus. in com.code:1000 has been taken in new com.code option
but open item is not cleared?
how can i post?
next in company code 1000- 2000 company balance will be there and same com.code 2000 also will have 1000 com.code balance , how can i clear this
regard
sowmya

you can use F-30 for the clearing at the same time as the posting.
But it may be better to have the repsonsible person in the customer's company to do the clearing, so he/she knows the payment has been received (although in the same company).
Current accounts between companies should be "cleared" at regular intervals. ie. offsett asset & liabitily side. It's a business decision on when to clear the balances.
