Alternate option for having 2 Controlling Areas

Hi Experts,
Please analyse the below business requirement and provide your valuable feedback.
Currently the business side has only one Controlling Area -1000 and all reports are built off of the Controlling Area and
not Company code. Also, all consolidated Company codes roll up to the Controlling Area 1000. Now business want's 2 different reports for there 2 major business lines.  And there is no way to run a report for those 2 business lines.
Is it advisable to have 2 diffrent controlling areas. In my opinion it should not be advised and its not a best practise.
Any other way to fulfill the reporting requirement by having current controlling area only?
Can Version design be of use in this scenario ? If yes kindly throw some light on version control as well.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
If the Business is vertical you can define two controlling areas
Example:
Constructions
Telecom
Trading
Manufacturing etc...
If not you can difine Company codes/Plants would be better.
Hope it will clear

  • Advantages and disadvantages of having 2 controlling areas.

    Dear All.
    My client have 2 company codes and will use same fiscal year variant and chart of account. so we recommend for one contrilling area. But my client wants some document or wants to know the advantages and disadvantages of having 2 controlling areas.
    I will really do appreciate if anybody hepls me in this regards.

    there is no general correct answer as every case is the different.
    However, the majority of solutions that have a single CoA will also have a single Controlling Area.
    The Controlling Area is the highest reporting level in Controlling, PCA, CCA etc.
    Normally if you have two CoA then you will have two Controlling Areas.
    A simple point to make to them is that a Controlling Area can only have 1 CoA, therefore you cant have 2.
    Are your Company Codes in the same Country?

  • The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

    The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.  I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone.  I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help.  Any ideas?

    Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting.  You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this.  You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

  • What are criterias for defining various controlling area in oprating concrn

    Hi All,
    for a holding with various businesses, I'm looking for criteria or characteristics to:
    1- divide client into multiple operating concern? ("best Practice" characteristics)
    2- divide an "operating concern" into multiple "controlling area"?
    I'm confused in dividing a holding in how many operating concerns and controlling areas?
    which solution is better: few operating concern with various controlling area within each one OR more operating concern with fewer controlling area within each operating concern?
    Best Regards

    Dear  Piet Strydom,
    thanks for your quick response,
    there is special situation: our holding produce and distribute wide range of products in A country,
    some manufactures in our holding produce same products with various brands (for example Company A and its partner company B produce keyboards under brand X and company C produce the same keyboards with brand Y), because of market uniformity we plan to group them (company A& B&C) in an operating concern, now:
    1- is it a correct decision to group all manufactures (with various brands-same products) in one operating concern?
    2- if we do so, isn't it right decision to divide each brand manufactures group in a controlling area? in other word we assign for each brand a controlling area? (one controlling area for both company A&B and another controlling area for company C)
    Best Regards

  • What are my options for having my case for my Early 2008 white macbook repaired?

    I own an early 2008 white macbook and as most people know they were notorious for ending up with cracks in the plastic body. Well, mine has it's fair share of cracks and the little nob on the bottom used for securing the battery in place has also broken off. The computer still runs great and does everything I need, but the keyboard and trackpad are glitchy, the battery won't stay in place, and it just kind of looks bad with the cracks. How can I go about getting these things fixed? I read that apple was fixing the cases for free for a while if it was within 5 years of purchase but I was NEVER told about this even when I took the laptop into the apple store several times for general questions and I am now beyond 5 years since purchase. I've seen plenty of third party sites to buy new cases on, but is there any chance the apple store would be willing to replace it for me still a this point? Also, since the plastic casing is so prone to cracking is it possible to replace my keyboard with one of the keyboards from the late 2008 aluminum body to avoid future chipping or would this not fit my model?

    Call an Apple store and ask.

  • Options for having cFP write and read file

    I have a cFP VI that runs on a cFP 2110 controller for doing process automation on a custom piece of equipment.  It seems that each month we use the same equipment for a slightly different automated process routine.  What I have done in the past is to make a copy of my VI's and real-time project and then make the changes in the code for the new process.  Most of the changes to the code between processes are just changes to numeric controllers to change ramp and slope times or the number of times the code repeats a set of steps.  I have been playing around with writing a sort of configurations page to my VI to allow the user to change some numeric controls, save them to a file using the Read Key.VI and Write Key.VI.  In the simple tests I have done, this works If I have a target VI on the cFP 2110 and a host VI where I can have the configurations page and save the file to my computer's hard drive. 
    The configurations file I would create would probably have 15-30 numeric controls and maybe some string commands.  I have a couple of questions about doing this.  Do I need to go back and create both Target and Host VI and communicate between the two using shared variables, or can I just keep my current VI and write a subVI that would save my files to the cFP controller?  If I save the files to the cFP controller, can user set the numeric controller and save the file and/or  likewise call-up any of say one of say 10 differnet files to populate the various sub-VI and run? 
    Finally, provided that I can write and read these small configuration numeric controller files to the controller, is there any advantage to writing the files to one method or the other: writing to the controller vs, creating a target and host VI to load the data?
    Thank you for the help.

    StepanieO,
    I finally had a change to play around with the cFP file write and read again.  I was able to write a the cFP and read the file back using write to spreadsheet and read from spreadsheet.  The one problem I can't seem to figure out is how you browse the cFP to select a file.  If I enter the file name and path into the string command it works.  But If I try to browse the cFP, the browse button only shows the computer hard drives.  Is there a way to browse the cFP controller for a specific file?
    Thank you for the help.

  • Viable options for having just Photoshop and After Effects?

    I have the single app plan for $20/mo, for After Effects. I've come to realize that I would like, as well as I kind of need, Photoshop. However, I don't wish to purchase the complete plan ($50/mo). I noticed there is a Photography plan for $10/mo, however since I already have a plan I'm unsure as to how I would go about getting two plans, or if there is a way to add on to my current plan. If I have the Photography and the Single App plan together it would be $30/mo, and I would have everything I need for $20 less than the complete.
    Any viable options, advice, or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Infinity

    You can of course get the photography plan, you just do not "add" it. It's simply a completely separate purchase.

  • Alternate option for Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD)

    Hi All,
    Here is the problem i am facing.
    The current business process in our application is running through forms and is carried out manually by the user. This process involves the generation of reports (pdf format) during the process. so the connect string for running reports is passed using the forms built-in
    get_application_property(username)/get_application_property(password)@get_application_property(connect_string).
    Now since the requirement is to covert this business process to a batch job, that is entirely through backend, I’m not sure how to get the user password using pl/sql to pass as parameter to run the reports.
    I have browsed the net for a possible solution, but couldn’t find anything useful.
    Can anyone please suggest any approach for this?
    Thank you,
    Vidya

    Hi

  • COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

    Hello All,
    There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
    A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
    Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
    Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    Hi Soumya,
    Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
    Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
    Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
    Use
    Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
    You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
    To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
    You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
    When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
    Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

  • Update version CO 000 for controlling area

    Hi Experts,
    I need to update the values for CO versión 000 for a new controlling area created in the system. In order to do that I tried to customize in Project System--> Costs --> Create CO Versions. In the tables I choose version 0 but, when accessing sub-menu Controlling Area Settings, I cannot create settings for my new controlling area.
    Can someone help on how can we solve this?
    Thanks a lot!

    What do you mean by inability to create settings for conrolling area? What is exactly the problem/error message. Just set the conrolling area (OKKS) and access the path you mentioned.

  • External Fiber Channel Raid options for New Xserve besides Promise V-Trak

    I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is an alternate option for a External Raid that can be hooked up via 4gb Fiber Channel to my new Xserve. I am really looking for a more cost efficient one than the 12K Promise set up from Apple. My Technology vendor was telling me that you have to use the Promise Raid as it is the only one that a Xserve will control due to Apple's licensing of its drivers etc. for its Fiber channel. Something tells me that this is not true.
    Anyone have any recomendations for a Fiber channel Raid solution in the 6K dollar range?
    thanks,
    Dan

    Find another vendor. Anyone that tells you the Promise is the only RAID that will work clearly doesn't understand the market.
    As for recommendations, you need to include some idea of capacity, either usable or raw. I can find you a lot of options for $6K if you want a 100GB of data. Not so many if you want 100TB.

  • Customer created in multiple credit control areas.

    Dear  friends,
    In our current system, whenever a business partner is created, the business partner is being created in all the credit control areas that are permitted for that company code, despithe business partner having only one credit control area assigned in the sales view of his business partner data.
    How can I control so that a business partner is only created against one of the allowable credit control areas?

    You can mantain overall credit limit for customer created in all CCA's.
    Goto FD32, select CCA and central data, you can mainatin overall credit limit for all credit control areas (CCA) and current CCA credit limit.

  • Controlling area maitenance

    Hello,
      what are the criteria for maintaining a Controlling area......can we assign multiple company codes to a single CO area having different local currency but one group currency.
    Please let me know.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Controlling Area can have more than one company code with multiple currencies.  It should have one group currency for internal reporting purpose (group reporting)
    the main condition would be:
    1. It should have one single Operational Chart of Accounts
    2. Same posting periods (normal). No condition with respect to Special Posting period
    I hope this will satisfy your needs.
    Award suitably with points.  else let me know if you need futher clarifications
