Error while assigning Operating concer to Controlling Area

Hi...
while I am trying to assign operating concern to controlling area, the system is showing the following error message.
Diagnosis
Controlling area 7500 and operating concern 7500 have different fiscal year variants (01 and K4). However, for cost center assessment, settlement, and many other types of postings to Profitability Analysis, the controlling area and the operating concern must have identical fiscal year variants, otherwise error messages or serious data inconsistencies can occur.
But i already changed fiscal year variant from K4 to 01 in Operating concern and i run the generate operating concern environment also. still the system is showing the same error message.
Is there anything more i need to do after changing fiscal year variant in Operting concern.
Please help me.
Thank you,

I have got the solution.

Assign Company Codes to new Credit Controlling areas after going live.

Dear FI Experts;
Our Status Now:
We Have 3 Company Codes, CC 1000, 2000, 3000 and one Credit Controlling Area Code 0001, and the Customers are assigned to this Credit Controlling area with no problems and we are live since about 9 months ago.
Requirement:
We have a requirement to split the Customer Credit limit between companies, which means we have to create more credit control areas for example CCA 0002, and 0003, and though assign our 3 company codes to the new credit control areas, as follows:
CC 1000 to CCA 0001
CC2000 to CCA 0002
CC3000 to CCA 0003
And my Question is, what is the procedures to follow to do that (Not a Customization Procedures, I mean the How the Customers would be affected and the open items for them and how to resolve that), since as mentioned above we are already live since 9 months ago, and credit management is active and all our customers are assigned to our old Credit control area 0001, and also what is the consequence of doing that new assignment since we are live, thanks for your reply

You will need to manage to create new credit master data under new credit control area. System should reorganize existing credit data after reassignment, that is when you change master data (create credit master under new credit control area), new credit exposure is calculated based on AR in company code and existing open orders will get rechecked for credit under new credit control area & new risk categories assigned to them.

Various FM areas are assigned to controlling area

Dear Sir,
While uploading budget throufh KP06 the error is coming :
Various FM areas are assigned to controlling area 6000
     Message no. F6097
Kindly suggest
Regards
Raj

Hello Raj,
There are many different reasons/options:
1) If you are on EA-PS package 200 you can try note 723605 to avoid the error message.
2) If you are not on EA-PS 200 (application release 4.7) the reason of the message F6097 is the following:
If for example Fund was activated in Customizing of Public Sector Management, it is not possible to assigned an company code to an controlling area, that is not FM relevant.
Please check if it is one assignment available. It can be field fund or the others available in the following SPRO settings:
SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> General Settings for Public Sector Management -> Basic Settings: Account Assignment Elements -> Activate Account Assignment Elements
Please check if you have activated Fund or Functional Area or Grant or Funded Program there.
How could you solve this problem: Please deactivate the fund (or the one that was active) temporary. Then assign FM area to Controlling Area. Then activate the fund again.
3) Please notice, the standard is the following:
COarea CCCC
       > CompCode 0001     > FMarea FFFF
       > CompCode 0002     > FMarea FFFF
       > CompCode NNNN     > FMarea FFFF
All CompCodes, assigned to the same CO area have to be assigned the same FMarea. This is not so in your case. Because different local currencies in the assigned CompCodes you assigned FM areas with
corresponding currencies. Result: The assignment COarea < > FMarea (via the CompCodes) is not ambiguity. This is what the error message of KP06 is saying (note 908908).
If you want change the currency settings in CompCodes to assign only one FMarea to all CompCodes maybe you have to covert the existing transaction data, too (see notes 89531 and 39919).
But I found a modification note 779180 it meets your assignments.
Please check that. Maybe it have to be extend that KP06 will work also then. I'm not sure if it will also work if you assign these CompCodes to the same COarea.
4) The relation between FM-area and CO-area can only be 1 to n. Because there is no direct relation between FM- and CO-area, you have to check the relations between the assigned company codes to FM- and CO-area. Please read the doumentation under the path:
Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Master Data -> Enterprise Structure - Organizational Units -> Organizational Structures - Assignments.
I hope it helps to resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa.

Assign Chart of account to Controlling area

Hi,
Why we assign Chart of account to Controlling area ?
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi,
First of all I would like to tell you that we don't assign Chart of Accounts to a Controlling Area. It is the Company Codes that are assigned to the Controlling Area.
Now, the basic purpose of defining a Controlling area is that we want to capture cost and revenues for Internal Management Reporting. So this is where the Internal Accounting comes into play where we want to know about the internal reports pertaining to product cost, cost center reports, profit center reports, margins, contributions etc. All these helps us to analyses the "Bottom Line"- Profit.
But the question that arises is how the expenses that are arising at the Financial accounting level be moved to the controlling area level? For this we assign company codes to a controlling area, but they should have the same chart of accounts and same fiscal year variants. Now the chart of accounts are nothing but a classification of structure and basic information about the G/L accounts. The expenses that the company is incurring for its smooth operations are captured in the G/L accounts. The G/L accounts are defined under some specific Accounts group e.g.. Administrative Expenses, Depreciations, Secured Loans, Sundry Creditors etc. The frame work of these account groups is contained at the Chart of Accounts level.
So how should we make these values flow from FI to CO? The answer is that we will create these G/L accounts as Primary cost elements in Controlling. This ensures that expenses in Fi and the Primary Cost Elements in Co can be reconciled. So now there is a link that is been provided between FI and CO. This enables us to get both Eternal and Internal reports. Now, when we are assigning more than One company codes to one controlling area, then we should also have the same chart of accounts and G/L accounts so that we are able to draw reports easily without any discrepancies in the G/L accounts. For Company codes having different chart of acounts, we need to assign them to different controlling areas.
So in brief this is the role of Chart of Accounts in Controlling. I hope that you would be satisfied with the answer.
Regards,
Dhruv.

Controlling area does not exist in assignment ?

Hi,
I've created & assinged controlling area to the company code , But then When I used PPOME to create org unit and assign the Controlling area , It did not exist in the list ? How can i configure this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Check in V_TKA01_GD table (assign company code to controlling area) whether controlling area is assigned to company code properly or not. If it is assigned properly then in PPOME Tcode in Account Assignment tab once you enter your company code Controlling area will be selected automatically.
If controlling area is not assigned to company code properly then you will not able to see that in PPOME. In this case you can take help from FI consultant as they only create Controlling area and assign it to company code.

Hi Arun Kumar,
Functional Area :

OKBD - Maintain Functional Area
Credit control area:
An organisational unit that represents an area responsible for granting and monitoring credit.
outstanding recievables can spoil the business process. to
control credit limits in sap system we can configure credit
control area.
one company code can hav one credit control area only
but one credit control area can hav many company codes
i.e. u can assign one credit control area to many company
codes.
the relationship is one to many.

5. Now when you create the sales order and if the amount exceeds the credit limit then u will get the message as you maintained in the TC OVAK. Normally the system starts doing credit checks from the second sales.
order.
What are the different types of credit checks?
By Sunilmadho
Credit Check can be :
1) Simple Credit Check
2) Automatic Credit Control
Automatic Credit Control can be at various levels :
1) Order
2) Delivery
3) Goods Issue
Automatic Credit Check is of many types :
1) Static
2) Dynamic
3) MaximumDocument Value
4) Maximum Open Items in percentage
5) Oldest Open Item in number of days
6) Crtitical fields change
7) Highest dunning level, etc.
You can create more.
Credit Check happens only in SD module, never in FI. Because the stage of the check is in the sales cycle, which exists in SD. FI guys will check the credit master sheets of the customer, the MIS, the analysis etc, review the credit limits of customers. But the check will happen only in SD, while creating order, delivery or doing the goods issue.
All business have their own credit management needs, SAP allows you to specify your own automatic credit checks based on a variety of criteria. You can also specify at which critical points in the sales and distribution cycle the system carries out these checks.
