Assign chart of account to a new company code

Dear all,
I have created a new company code in system(copy an existing company code data). When I am going to a new chart of account to the new company code, system display an error message as follows:
Reset company code data before changing the chart of accounts
Message no. FC140
Diagnosis
You have selected a different chart of accounts for a company code.
You must, however, reset the company code-specific data for the old chart of accounts beforehand.
Procedure
If you really want to allocate a different chart of accounts to the company code, first of all reset
the company-code specific data for the old chart of accounts.
First of all you must, if it exists, reset the transaction data for this company code.
Finally, carry out the resetting of the company code-dependent G/L account master data
(without the general master data).
Note:
When dealing with large quantities of data, resetting the master data or transaction data can be very
time-consuming. In this case, it is advisable to schedule the running of these reports as a batch run.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I think you have copied the co. code using Trcode , When you have copied the co code all the gl master records from the source co code is also coiped to to the target company code. these gl masters use the COA(Chart of accounts) used by the source co. code.
If you want to assigna new COA now to the target co code then you have to delete all the gl accounts from this new co code you can do this by executing TR Code OBR2. Select the gl accounts, Select the check box for "with general master data" and provide the company code and execute. Now you can assign a new COA to this new company code

Upload of chart of accounts at coa and company code level

dear all
can you tell me how it is best to upload a new chart of accounts both as a chart of accounts level and company code. i am planning to use lsmw but shoud i upload chart of accounts first then company code level?
with many thanks
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you have single company code then create one LSMW for transaction "FS00" it upload the COA both at company code and COA level. If you have morethan one company code and you want to upload same COA to both company codes then better first COA level with FSP0 then company code level with FSS0 because here you can extend the required GL's from COA to COmpany code.

As per my Knowledge we can have Multiple Chart of account for multiple company . We have 5 company codes ,
2 Company codes are Germany
1 Company code in India
1 Company code in US
1 Company code in Brazil.

3) If suppose i used for two country one chart of a/c and for another two country another chart of a/c.....(total two)
which is the best solution? if you have any different idea let me know.

Hi,
Control area is having the authorization to allow the chart of account for a particular company code.
The company codes are belonging to a particualr Controlling area, definitly they (Company code)are using the same chart of A/C is used by CA.
defenitly CA (controlling area) has only one chart of A/C. So if you need to maintain the company codes are belonging to different chart of A/Cs, you have to assign them different CAs which have their own chart of A/Cs.
This is my understanding...

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.

Dhruv.

Multiple Chart of Accounts for one holding company.

Hey,
I recently encountered a scenario where a Holding Company will have several companies under 5 different sectors under it. If we call the holding company 'ABC', all the other companies under the ABC company will be segregated to 6 main sectors which spread across, leisure, Retails, Sales, Healthcare, etc.
If I was to implement Hyperion Planning for the above scenario, what would be the best approach?
What I think would be feasible is to;
Create 5 Chart of Accounts for the 5 different sectors under which the companies would be allocated to, and map all these 5 Chart of Accounts to a Chart of Accounts of the holding company (ABC Company) using Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management and the Hyperion Data Quality Management Adapter.
Would you agree this to be correct?
Appreciate your thoughts and any experience anyone may have with such an implementation.

Hi,
     Do what ruju posted,except:-
      Assign alternate chart of accounts to your company code.
      This has to be the last step since you are doing it retroactivly(because of b) ). Once the assignment is made:-
                  a) Assignment   Account to Alt.Account   has to be 1:1
                  b) The alt.account can not be changed/entered once the account has been posted to.
Once you are productive,depending on your system design either make the alt.Account a required field or create a validation to give the same effect.This is to avoid the situation where you are constantly unassigning/assigning the country COA because the entry was forgotten.
Kind regards

Cost center validity change and assign it to new company code

Hello
We are having 10 Cost centers in 1000 Company code, And validity of these cost centers is .01.01.2001 to 31.12.9999.
Now business want to create one more company code 2000. and wants to extend these same cost centers to 2000 company code also. But as per SAP std Cost center extention is not possible , bcz cost center can use by only one company code.
Now Company is saying that..they wants the same number for new company code from 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999..
system is not allow me to change validity period of these cost centers, bcz these saying that the cost center is already defined for given period.
Beacuse new company code will start working from 24.09.2010. so i,e the reason , we want to make example "2561 cost center validity 01.01.2001 to 22.09.2010 for company code 1000. then after words 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999 the same cost center 2561 will for 2000 company code.
but system is not allowing me to change the validity
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mangesh
What you wish is not possible.. You will have to create new cost center and assign to the new company code...
may be for simplicity sake, you can add a prefix or suffix to the existing cost center no i.e Cost Ctr 2356 can become N2356 in new comp code

Is it possible to assign existing plant to different new company code

Hello,
we have created one company code and two plants A001 and A002 plants. Both plants are having some entries.(created So. PO. scheduling agreements )
Now business decided that ,they want to assign A002 plant to another company code. Is it possible to add this to new company code.
Before A000 company code was having two plants A001 and A002.
Is it possible to Add A002 plant to Different company code?
Regards
sapman

Hi,
If u assign the same existing plant to another company code then it will lead to inconsistencies since there will be old and new purchasing documents created for that plant even after " clearing" your open pur documents like PO,GR,IR sched agmt etc
so I think the best way is to
1. close all existing open entries in that plant
2. create a new plant in other company code by copying the old one
3. Assign new plant to diff co code
4. To stop further transactions in it just De activate old plant and also by doing this previous "Transaction History remains intact" -
5. Extend required Material Masters for this new plant in diff co code
Hope this helps u !

Hi Vikcy,
Company Code is legal Entity and core component in FI.
Now u r planning create new company codes, just check below:
01. Chart of Accounts:
- You may use existing chart of account for new com. code
02. Controlling Area:
- Check the feasibility of cross company code controlling or not. If you maintain one:one relation in existing controlling area, u need to create new one.
03. SD: Core component is Sale Organization. U need to assign them to ur Company Codes. So check accordingly.
03. MM/ PP: Plants and Purchasing Organization need to assign to Company Codes.
Hope it will give you idea on a whole to plan, how u need plan to go ahead.

Unwanted G/L Codes in a new Company Code

We at Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. have created a New Company Code 0114 - Pantaloon Food Products India Ltd.
The same has been created by copying an existing Company Code 0101- Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.
While doing it some unwanted G/Ls have been copied and been transported to Production.
Now no transaction has been done in any of the G/Ls in the Company Code.
We are proposing to delete these G/Ls by following method:
1.Making Company Code non productive thru OBR3.
2.Deletion of G/L for the specific Co. Code thru OBR2.
We want to know if it is technically the correct way of doing it.Will there be any adverse impact on the functional aspects of the system.
Can the G/Ls be re created, if needed, at a later date?
With Rgds.,
Rakesh Kumar
09324847499

Hi,
I presume, both of these companies use the same chart of accounts, right? If it's only several G/Ls, I'd suggest to mark them for deletion or block them in Company Code. Of course, you will be abrle to create the m again (FS00) or unblock them in the future.

Extend a customer to a new company code (IDoc DEBMAS06)

Hi,
I'm experienceing problems when I try to add company code data (segment E1KNB1M) and sales data (segment E1KNVVM) to an incoming IDoc of basic type DEBMAS06. The customer is to be extended into two company codes and correlating sales areas.
I have implemented notes 802008 and 895885 and now I get the error message "No batch input data for screen SAPMF02D 0310" when I check in WE02.
I have narrowed down the problem to billing details on sales data. The problem is that the field account assignment group (KNVV-KTGRD) is emptied on the last run of sales data processing. The value is there earlier but then vanishes mysteriously. Has anyone a tip on how to get around this problem?
I would most apprechiate any help in this matter.
Best regards,
Fredrik Skild

Hi Muthuraman Govi and Sanjeev,
in fact I can see in backend in transaction KS03 (show cost center) there in the F4s, which comp.code + controll area combinations are valid and have indeed cost centers assigned.
So I have a new valid comp.code and a new valid cont.area.
The new comp.code belongs to the new contr. area.
In SRM I set the BUK attribute as described by Sanjeev (I had that already done). Still, if it is like you say, why do I get an error in EBP when trying to buy products from the new plant in the new company code...
Is there any more config.work necessary in backend or SRM?
kind regards, matthias

SD checklist when creating a new company code

Hello All,
Can you Pls suggest what is the SD checklist to be followed while creating a new company code..
Regards,
Sree.

Hi Biswas/Arif/Madhu,
Thanks for your help. First of all ...I am doing this as a proof of concept in a training instance. So, I can mess it as much as I can.
As you all mentioned I created a Company by copying an existing Company in EC01 (which is the T code of the screen that comes from the IMG navigation specified by Madhu). At that point system performed some copying tasks for some time and I guess my New Company got all the G/L Account, Chart Of Accounts from the old (they might not be relevant to the new company, which i will change later).
But my follow up question is ...after all this, I expected to see the new company code in OMSY screen. But I didn't. Why?
TIA.
Subra.
