Assigning CoCd to Controlling areas

Hi,
I have 4 company codes in 4 different countries with different currencies. Should i have 4 controlling areas or can i have just one controlling area what is more benificail.
Appreciate any response
Shine

Hello
One common controlling area is advised for all the 4 company codes. Maintain the controlling area currency as acceptable to global standards.
Although the data from different company codes is flowing to controlling area, reporting is uniquely done.
There is no need to maintain seperate CA with seperate currencies.

Assign COIN to control area

Dear All,
I am trying to posting an incoming invoice. But the error pops up as below:
After doing some research, i should set the COIN range and assign COIN to control Area.
Can anyone provide me detail steps to solve this issue? Very appreciated!

Hi Wang,
Go to tcode KANK, give your controlling area P610, click on maintain groups(F6) button. Now you can see the maintain number range groups screen, in that screen select COIN(double click or keep cursor on COIN and press F2 button or select element button) from not assigned group and select number range for controlling area button(here you have to click on check box) and then click on Assign Element/Group(F5) button and click on save button. Now you can see COIN in number range for controlling area P610.
This is enough to solve your problem.
Please revert if not yet solved your problem.

Hi,
we can have multiple credit control areas based on req-
eg: client wants to restrict customer based on divisoin wise.
then we will maintain credit control area based on sales area
there 3 division in a comp: AA -BB - CC
thens sales areas will be:
1000-10 -AA
1000-10-BB
1000-10-CC ( assuming therez one sales org-1000 & dc 10)
now create 3 cr control areas- OB45
Assign sales area to cr Control area - OVFL
Assign permitted credit control areas to comp code - IMG- FA- AR&AP- Credit Management- Credit control account - Assign permitted credit control areas to comp code.
Now you can assign this Cr CA- by sales area wise in CMR & maintain the credit limits for each Cr CA.
So when ever your needs wants to do it by division or sales area wise you can do this.
Thanks,
Raja

Assigning plant to controlling area

Dear Gurus,
Got this error message while doing Individual Purchase Order.
" Your Plant is not assigned to controlling area"
Here I have created controlling area and assigned to the company code but could not find where i have to assign it to a Plant?
Hope Gurus can solve this for me.
Regards

Hi Venkat
I think it is referring to Purchasing Organization. Check in <b>OX17</b> whether you have created and assigned your Purchasing Organization to Plant. If not, assign it and try once again.
Thanks

Assignment of credit control area to sales area

Hi Friends,
What is the advantage of assigning credit control area to sales area when it is already assigned to the relevant company code ?
Regards
Mahesh.

hi,
Credit control area when assigned to sales area(sales orgd.cdivision) rather than company code, it will be more specific and relevant to track the credit record of the customer as he was assigned through the sales area where he is in.
And also to generate reports based on the sales area , this helps in ease to monitor the customer behaviour based on the materials.

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.

Assign Controlling Area to Financial Management Area

Dear SAP Gurus!
I'm greatly distraught! I have been reading SAP HElP. I'm using ECC 6.0.
It says that to assign Controlling Area to Financial Management Area, I can go to the following menu path:
Enterprise Structure >> Assignment >> Controlling >> by choosing Assign controlling area to financial management area
However I'm not able to find the node "Assign controlling area to financial management area" in IMG.
I'm trying to activate Fund Managment within CO area and therefore would like to assign controlling area to financial management area. Currently I have created company code and controlling area and have also assigned the controlling area to the company code.
I would appreciate greatly your advise and feedback, thanks!

Distraught!

Hi,
The FM area is not derived from a direct assignment of the organizational unit of Controlling, from the Controlling Area, to an FM area, rather from an indirect one.
The FM area is determined via the company codes assigned to the controlling area to which the FM area is assigned, whereby the company code is determined from the CO objects
You can deactivate the unrequired FM components from "Deactivate Account Assignment Elements in Controlling" which is in BCS.

how to find the list of functional location with respect to controlling area.
Regards,
N.selvamuthukumar.

Hello,
1. Use the FM: BAPI_COAREA_GET_RELATED_CCODES to get the Company Codes Assigned to one Controlling Area.
2. With the available CoCds go to table T001K and get the available plants (T001K-BWKEY).
3. With the available plants use the FM: BAPI_FUNCLOC_GETLIST (tables: PLANPLANT_RA) to get the Functional Locations (tables: FUNCLOC_LIST).
Hope this helps.

De activation of Controlling Area

Hi,
We have got a situation that we need to de activate the existing controlling area and create a new controlling area as per the mutual agreement between our co & the client.
and we have got 1:1 ratio between controlling area & company code
Now the system will not allow me to delete the company code assignment from the controlling area as the master data exists for this particular company code.
how do i proceed with this kind of situation.
My concerns are
1. How do I assign the company code to a new controlling area which has already been assigned to a particular controlling area.
2. Now if i go with the new controlling area which i have created then how does the system respond to the old open item data which has been entered for old cost centres,profit centres.
What will happen when i start clearing this transactions how does the system responsd to this kind of situations.
Kindly advise
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for your prompt response but I have 2 queries.
1. Will the system allow me delete the master datas when there is transaction data which exists in the masters for which we want to delete.
2. Secondly what will happen when i try to clear the open item which have been booked under a particular cost centre and profit centre which were assigned to my old controlling area and when i start clearing the old items with the new controlling area activate how does system respond to it.
Will it allow me to clear these transactions/allow processing of the old data which had been fed in the old controlling area.
Plz help me out in this.

This is not the logical system of controlling area 2000

Hi,
While creating Activity type / price planning in kp26....i am getting the the information like...
"This is not the logical system of controlling area 2000"..
but i am using the company code 3000 which is assigned to the controlling area 2000....
so...kindly tell me how to come out of this....
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I assume the error is either KC028 or COCORE081. In any case: please check if you have activated an ALE scenario for the relevant controlling area in TA OKKP1. Then check if the logical system differs from the system defined for you client in TA SCC4. If this is the case, then that is the reason for the error.

CSKA & CSKB Tables -Cost Element+ Controlling Area, Cost Element Category

I have few questions on Chart Of Accounts and Controlling Areas and CSKA(Cost elements (data dependent on chart of accounts)) and CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) Tables--
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts.
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.

Hi,
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts. Never
One controlling area can be assigned to many company codes, but all must have been assigned to the same chart of accounts only. This is the pre requisite for the so called cross company controlling
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
If some data exists in CSKA table, it mean that, it must have been created as a CE in any of the controlling area
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
In CSKB, you wont get the correspondant COA for the given controlling area. If you want to know it pass field value CSKB-KOKRS to table field TKA01-KTOPL to get the assigned COA
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
You cannot create a secondary cost elemant using a key matching with an GL code in cross company controlling. In case of both company codes assigned to different controlling areas this can be possible
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.
Only In case of CO module is not active for the a company code
Note: If you have more queries, post it separately rather than asking all in one thread. and be specific with your requirement with the actual scenario.
Thanks,
Srinu
