Can A SinglePlant in some scenario Be assigned to two company codes?

Hi,
I want to know under what scenarios a single Plant can be assigned to Two Company codes.
SAP allows me to assign the same without any error in T code OX 18. And I also know that since valuation is carried at plant level and it is not a good practice.
But I am looking for an exception where one Plant is assigned to two company codes.
An expert cooments will be highly apprecaited.
Lekhram

Hi Lekhram,
I am sorry the system will not even allow you to save it in OX18. If it will go out of the spro and come back the plant will not be there as It will not allow to comitt the transaction.
There is no scenario in which one plant can be assigned to two company codes. This is the fundamental basement of all enterprise structure in MM and will not be possible.
I hope this will close your query.
Cheers!

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes? how to do it?

Can one business area be assigned to several company codes?
what are the configurations?
thanks

Dear Humility,
If, I am not wrong, Business Area is assigned to Company Code via Finance (i.e. NO Direct assignment, but can be used across company code). You can assign a business area to an org. object through the account assignment tab.
Business areas are generally company-code independent. You can post to them from any company code. The Business area field shows up as an additional account assignment when posting to an account as long as the field is turned on in configuration. The field can be made a required entry during posting.
If certain company codes are not active in specific business areas, you can use a validation to prevent postings to this business area from the company codes specified.
Important Transactions, related to Business Area Configuration:
OX03     Create Business Area
OMJ7     assign Business Area to Plant / Valuation Area and Division
OVF2     Org Unit: Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule
OVF0     Org Unit: Business Area Determination rule
OVF1     Sales Area - Business Area Determination rule Slsorg/DstCh

I have defined my company in /Enterprise Structure/Definition/Financial Accounting/Define company.
When I try to Assign plant to company code(/Enterprise Structure/Assignment/Logistics-General/Assign plant to company code). It reports my company code is not existing.
Can someone tell me what's wrong. have I missed sth?

Plant will be copied Logistics->general -> Define, delete, copy check plant
after defining and copying then you can assign this plant to company code as you specified.
I think this will solve ur problem.

How many foreign trade orgnisation we can assign to one company code

Dear Experts,
How many Foreign Trade Organisation can assign to one company code .
I would like to understand concept of creating FTO's .
Thank you
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Regarding the concept; documents and transactions in GTS are carried out within a single Foreign Trade Organisation. Together with the Legal Unit (more-or-less corresponding to "Plant"), they provide the key to many of the attributes and characteristics for the transaction, and for reporting purposes.
For technical convenience, the FTO takes the form of a Business Partner, so has Name & Address attributes and is tied to a single country. It is reasonable to consider the FTO as representing the Legal Entity, so mapping to Company Code is provided.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Dave

Update BSEG with alternative G/L account after assigning it at company code

Hello,
I'm facing an issue concerning the update of BSEG and other tables.
We have started to work in Production from January 2010 without alternative chart of accounts. So many posting till now.
Now the company wants to set up the local chart of account for some legal requirement. I know that once we have put an alternative chart of account, we can not change the local G/L account before balance at 0.
But in my case, the local chart of account was not assigned to the company code. So I can put what I want in the group G/L account as alternative account.
The idea is to create a local chart of account, after all local G/L accounts related to the local chart of account and after assign the local chart of account to the company code.
The problem is that for all historical items (january 2010 to June 2010) I don't have the local G/L account in BSEG and other tables (FI)...and I need it for reporting.
Thanks for your help

Can I create a single PO for two company codes

Hi
Can I create a single PO for two company codes. Though I know that Company code is assigned at header level but still I know there is a setting in controlling which when activated two company codes under same controlling area can procure the goods under the same PO.But i forget from where to activate that message or control in config.
Thanks

Hi Lekhram,
I'm just beginner so maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.
If you order something that something must belong to a definite company > plant. How could possess two company the same thing at the same time (totally)?
(companies are at the same organisational level - none of them is subject to the other).
Maybe I'm mistaken.
So I <b>guess</b> you can use only one company code for one PO.

Wrong business area assigned to the company code

Hi All ,
I am getting error " Wrong business area assigned to the company code " while posting a document in F- 02
please advise

Dear Balasubramaniyan,
You can supress the field Business area field in Field status Groups.
For this follow the following steps
Please check TCode OBC4 for field status variants
> Goto G001 (General) Field status group
>Additional Account Assignment
> Click supress in front of business area.
In that case, F-02 will not even ask for business area.
Also check whether Business area FS is ticked in front of your company code in TCode OB65
You may also refer to the following thread
How to assign business area to company code?
I hope this solves your query.

One controlling area with two company codes assigned with one CoA

Hi,
I   am having one controlling area with two company codes assigned , i am using the same gl for two company codes as cost element , when i am positng the miro for vendor purpose it posted the error , to avoid the price difference purpose , i have given one cost center of first company code in OKB9 , and overcome the error , entries posted, when i am posting new entry for MIRO   in secod company codes with same cost element , price difference of that account should go to the other cost center which specifically created for second company code, in the OBK9 i have given cost center first company code   of the same GL account , now this is another new entry in the second company code with other cost center in the second company code since the price difference account should sit in the other cost center of second company code, how to over come this problem, pls help me
Thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi,
First, remove the default cost center in the cost element. Then, for the system to derive the correct cost center for each company codes, define one cost center for each compny codes in OKB9 just like this:
Co Code   Cost Element   Cost Center
1000          1000000              A
2000          1000000              B
So during MIRO, the system will derive these values you maintain in OKB9.

Leading ledger can be local GAAP? Pros and Cons. 1 company code scenario

My client /the company uses 2 GAAPs: local GAAP and IFRS.
I have read that "the leading ledger is based on the same accounting principle as that of the consolidated financial statement. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes (if posting is not ledger specific)."
If we have only 1 company code can we have local GAAP as the leading ledger? What are the pros and cons?
Arjan

Hi,
Local GAAP must be a leading ledger because country you are operating your business will require wide reporting like financial statements, tax registers, stock registers. So, primary posting will be related to your local GAAP which will be directed to both leading and non leading ledger. If there are certain things which are required to be altered then you can post the differences exclusively to the non leading ledger using transaction FB50L.
Keeping Local GAAP as non leading ledger will require huge posting of adjustments.

Can it be a seperate cost component structure for each company code?

Company Code No 1 Setting:
Company Code XXXX with Chart of accounts X(Quantity + Value updation in material type)
In the existing company code(XXXX) ,Cost component structure is defined as
All company code---->All Plants----> All Costing Variants -
>Cost component Structure AA
Company Code No 2 Setting:
Scenario:
Now I am creating a new company Code YYYY) which is is allowed for quantity updation alone and trying to create a product cost collector to carry out Production confirmation through Repetetive manufacturing (."Error = Cost object component split costed with Value of Zero"
Can it be possible to have a seperate cost component structure for each company Code?
Company Code YYYY with Chart of accounts Y which is different from Company code 1(Quantity alone in material type)
If possible ,Can anybody provide a procedure to do the configuration of Cost Component structure

Hello,
As I understand your question, All the thing which are releted to costing are done only at the controlling area level not at company code.
As your req diffrent cost componenet for diffrent company code is depend up on how you define the controlling area.
Hope it will clear you

Assigning plant to company code

Hi All,
I have created a company code 3333 copying company code 0001.
similarly, I created a new plant AB01 copying plant 0001. Now, When I try to assign the plant AB01 to my company 3333, it displays an error message "Plant AB01 is already assigned to company code 0001".
Would you please suggest me how to avoid such an error message? To avoid such an error, is it better to create a new plant altogether rather than copying an already existing plant from IDES.
Please, suggest me.
Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
Since you have copied the co code. The plant assignment has also been copied.
U need to delete the assignment first and then re assgin to the new co code created.
Cheers,
