Advantages of making a Company Code Productive

All,
What are the reasons for marking a company code productive and should we mark company which we do not use anymore ( Removed the posting period variant) also productive.
Thanks in Advance,
Vineet

Good question.
My opinion is that a user should not see anything that isn't relevant... so if they do a drop-down on Company Code and see "IDES Demo Bulgaria" or something like that, then it's wasteful and makes processing a bit more difficult.
There isn't a way to do this in configuration other than to delete them... Charts of Accounts, Controlling Areas, CoCds, Charts of Depreciation, Account Groups, etc. But there are OSS notes that walk you through the process and they have dedicated config tcodes to do it(Cont Area is an example). So I think SAP is OK with this and supports it. I can't think of anything in these elements that is worth saving... if there is, you can always login to 000 and view it there... if you had to, you could create a BC Set and move it over to your productive client.
The one exception to this that I've found is Charts of Depreciation. They can be deactivated in their main table (via SE16).

Company Code - Productive

Hi Friends,
We have many company codes for which in FA Global Settings, Company Code is productive indicator is not selected.
Now we want to activate this indicator. Is there any implication if we activitate it now considering that there are transactions which are already done.
Is there any negative effect by activating this?
Regards
Hari

As such there is no retrospective impact of setting company code to productive. It will imply that data can't be deleted from that point onwards.
Hence, you can do the same safely without any impact on old data in ur system.
If the answer satisfy ur query, please assign award points.

Company Code not productive

While going through the system settings, I found that certain company codes are not having the status 'Company code not productive'. These company codes are in operation. I know that a company code in operation should be made productive so that programs will not get deleted by any change.
Can set the indicator 'company code productive' for all those company codes and move the changes to Production client ?

Dear,
There is nothing wrong if you set Company code productive latter after you went live. Information system auditor can may object if you do not set it productive because with this indicator unticked you can delete and reset GL Master data. You should ideally tick it and set it as productive.

Company code

We are in the process of defining the enterprise structure for our client. My question is on defining one company code v/s defining 4-5 company codes for the organization based on region. Can you please tell me the advantages of using only one company code wrt SAP MM or SAP LE??
thank you,

HI!
Company code is a legally independent company in the SAP System. It is advisable to use one company code instead of multiple company code for one legal unit. If you want to generate report for multiple regions than you can use Business area for reporting, but if you want to have a different legal unit according to region than you should use different company code for legal(external reporting) reporting.
So, If it is a statutory requirement than and only than you should segregate company code according to region otherwise different alternative are available as an alternative for company code.
By making one company code master data management will be easy and many other complications can be avoided.

0HR_PY_PP_1 restricting based on Company Code

Hi ,
I am trying to use extractor HR_PY_PP_1. The extractor pulls all the CC data as it do not allow selection based on Company Code.
When we try to change in extractor in source system it does now show field for selection. So I changed the values in ROOSFIELD table .
Now I see CC for selection but still after making the company code selection , it do not select the data based on that particular company code.
Any idea in this direction will be much appreciated.

Vamsi,
I think you do not want to allow to see the some FI user these Tcodes data for specific companies.
I think you have assigned more then one role to user and mentined 3 Tcodes are coming from multiple roles and the user buffer is having multiple entry for the . If this is the case please keep these Tcodes in one role only and restrict the user only in F_BKPF_BUK BUKRS.
If only one role is assigned to you then assigned the required company codes at Orgranisation Level only and it will populated at Authorisation Object F_BKPF_BUK BUKRS for company codes.
I would advise you not to modify the SAP standard object in SU24 because it can distrub the Standard Auth. Object.
Hope this will help.

For different company code, u have to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn.
Before that create purchase info record.
Enter subcontract info record in routing.
after running MRP , convert the PR to PO.

Production order on two company code

I have two company code A110, plant p110 and A111, plant P111.
My requirement: I want planned order in P110, production order in P111, goods receipt in P110, goods issue to plant P111.
I setup material code 200201 for both plant, in plant A110, I use special production, receiving plant A111. besides this, what should be configured to meet with my requirement, thanks

SivKumr,
First, a technical question. You mention A110 and A111 as company codes in the first statement, then you mention them as plants in the second statement. Can you elaborate?
Actually I don't know what you want from us, you haven't mentioned yet what your problem is. Exactly what do you want to happen that currently does not happen?.
In your original statement you have described your desired solution, which I must say is...ah....odd. How about also enlightening us with a statement of your business requirements? I personally am at a loss to conceive of any business reasons why a company would wish to implement such a solution.
You might also want to refer to SAP help, to see what special planning processes are available.

SET COMPANY CODE TO PRODUCTIVE

Hi:
I'm setting the company code to productive, is it possible to include this configuration in a transport request. I am not able to do so as it doesn't ask for a transport request. The menu to manually assign them to a transport request is also grayed out.
Appreciate any input.
Regards
Hisham

Hi Mukta:
I do have authorization to configure in the development system but for this specific configuration, it didn't ask for the transport request.
I have done this configuration directly in Production system before since it should not be set to productive in the development system.
But I was just wondering if there's anyway to transport this across the system landscape.

Inactive field Company code in production

Hello all,
in the production system and in transaction PPOME I can change the value in field Company code (folder Account assignment) for the parent org. unit. If I select an org. unit which hangs from the parent, then the field is inactive and I cannot change the value. This is the same story for any other org. unit in deeper levels. This does not happen in development and test system.
I guess that this is a customizing topic but where exactly can I make the field Active ??
Thanks.

Please check the following switches in table T77S0

PPOM INHIH
PPOM INHS

Making the field "company code" mandatory

Hi SAP experts,
is it possible to make the field : company code, a mandatory one in the initial screen of XD01 transaction (create customer)? How?
Best regards,
Bahia.

Hi Bahia
How are you? Why no posts for a long time?
Making COMPANY CODE as a mandatory entry i think it is not possible with customization
This means you cant achieve this thro OBD2 or OB20 or OVT0
It is because SAP has given the provision of creating CMR only with general data and sales area data
With these two levels SD people can do most of their processes (t codeVD01)
Similarly SAP has given the provision of creating CMR only with general data and company code data
With these two levels FI people can do most of their processes( like that FI people also has t code to create CMR only with general data and company code)
These provisions where it is applied practically,, i dont know?
But thro development i think you can make each and any CMR you prepare it should be only with XD01 and that too in that Company code has to be made mandatory
Check with your technical team

Risks when locking Prod in SCC4, but not setting Company Code to productive

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the risks related to not setting Company Codes to productive... even though the Production system is locked in SCC4. Will the lock in SCC4 mitigate the risk of not setting Company Codes to productive?
To my understanding, setting Company Codes to non-productive in the Production system would result in a risk for deleting financial data. I therefore wonder if defining the lock in SCC4 would compensate for this risk.
Regards
IT-auditor

I asked myself the same question.
The F1-help in SCC4 says the following:
"This field should be maintained by the customer for documentary purposes."
But also:
"- Production clients and SAP reference clients are protected from the client copy tools, including "Copy by Transport Request" (transaction SCC1).
- There is corresponding protection from the automatic Customizing Distribution and other tools.
- In a production client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" are excluded from a client lock or transport connection; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. Other clients usually require a transport request."
So, i think that the client role option is more a documentation thing. But also disables some client copy and automatic transport functionality. In my opinion it should be "production" on a production system because if not there are several functions activated that shouldn´t be for security reasons.
That´s what i think. Maybe someone can correct me or give more information to this thread.

Tobias

Side effects set company code to productive on Live Production System

Dear All,
I have a question, are there any consequencies or side effects, if we set company code to prodcutive while the system already run for last 1 year.
Is there any SAP note reference for this matter?
Really appriciate for your help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Endi Pratama W.

If you do not put to productive then there is a problem.
You must put it to productive immediately. There will not be any side effects.
OBY6
A company code which is working productively should be indicated here by an "X". This prevents deletion programs from resetting data in this company code by mistake

Is Company Code Activation (Set to Productive) typically included in Mock Cutover

Hello.
In a typical mock cutover, is the setting of the Company Code to productive typically included?
Given that it can be re-set, I can't think of a down side to doing so. I'm just looking for what is standard practice.
Thanks.

Hi David,
The purpose of Company Code set to Productive is mainly to prevent any inadvertent deletion of data by the users like resetting depreciation data, deleting vendors / customers etc. For example, If one of your cut-over task is to delete the some of transaction data in your test system, then you need to remove this tick and delete and then put it back. It all depends on your requirements, how you want to use this field.
But, as far as production system is concerned, you MUST ensure you have selected this check box in OBY6 transaction code. Include this as a manual task in your cut-over plan. Otherwise, any inadvertent deletion of data would become very costly for the business.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ravi
