Change chart of accounts in Controlling area
Hi all,
How can I change the chart of accounts in controlling area?
I've already changed chart of accouns in FA CoCode Global data, and I have to change chart of accounts in controlling area; In OKKP chart of accounts is in display mode
I get the message; where I have to assign Chart of acc to Controling area in OKKP is not possible
Differing charts of accounts: INT - CAXX
Message no. KT299
Diagnosis
The system makes consistency checks during assignment of a company code to a controlling area as part of assignment control.
The same checks take place if assignments already exist and you change the basic data in the controlling area, or if you define the controlling area and company code as a 1:1 structure.
If the check finds an error, the system cannot execute the function ("Assign" or"Change basic data"). If you do not maintain the required data for the consistency check (such as currency, chart of accounts, or fiscal year variant in the company code), this also results in an error message.
Chart of accounts INT, controlling area XX01, does not agree with chart of accounts CAXX, company code XX01.
System Response
Processing is terminated.
Procedure
Ensure that the same chart of accounts is assigned to controlling area and company code.

Assign Chart of account to Controlling area
Hi,
Why we assign Chart of account to Controlling area ?
Regards,
PankajHi,
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.

How to change standard PCA hierarchy for Controlling Area?
Dear all,
I'd like to change standard PCA hierarchy for Controlling Area. System doesn't allow me to do this with the following message:
=====================================
Standard hierarchy CIS for COAr 0700 already contains profit center(s)
Message no. KM160
Diagnosis
You wish to change the standard hierarchy of a controlling area, however, profit centers have already been assigned to the hierarchy. For this reason, you may not change the standard hierarchy for this controlling area.
=====================================
How can I change it?I will clarify the business requirements behind this request.
We are currently implementing PCA for a customer. However, technically, PCA was already switched on several years ago and it was used for some not-really-accounting customer functionalities (Z* reports) .
So, currently the PCA hierarchy is total mess. No logical heirarchy, a lot of weird profit centers... Not posibly to use this for segment reporting at all. And I would like to sort this out for this project.
Is it possible to reorganize current standard hierarchy? Remove profit centers and profit center groups out of there? Forbid postings? -

OB58 - Change chart of accounts
Hi,
How can I change, in mass way, a chart of account in a copied financial statement?
I have a new company code (J2) and a new chart of accounts (K2) as a copy company code (J1) and chart of accounts (K1).
So, there are the same accounts in two statements but different chart.
Normally, system in a new/copied statement keeps an information about an old chart of account and I have to manually change all items.
regards
PiotrHi,
Firstly it should be doen manually only.
But in case of your GL accounts are same in both COA, then change the COA key manully in OB58 in the new /copied FSV's properties.
Thanks,

Business Objects, an SAP companyHi,
There are certain preliminary steps to be carried out in ECCS. You can find them under SPRO->Enterprise Controlling->Consolidation->Integration: Preparation for Consolidation.
You need to choose the type of consolidation, create Company, link it to Cons Unit in ECCS, Creating/Copying FS Items (each account in Group COA will have an FS Item; 1:1), etc.,
After the setup, you actually need to carry out Rollup or Flexi Upload for importing FI data into ECCS FS Items. This is done to Data Monitor - CXCD.
In ECMCT, typical selections would be Dimension, Cons Unit, Cons COA, FS Item.
I suppose these preliminary steps are requried for the data to flow to FS Items.
Hope this clarifies.

Changing chart of account by DI API
Hi,
Is this possible to change a Chart Of Account by the DI API and if so what does it do. Does it change it everywhere that the old chart of account was used ?ChartOfAccounts is a business object that represents the General Ledger (G/L) accounts in the Finance module.
This object enables you to:
Add a G/L account.
Retrieve a G/L account by its key.
Update a G/L account.
Remove a G/L account.
Save the object in XML format.
Source table: OACT.
Object Model
Remarks
The Chart of Accounts is an index of all G/L accounts that are used by one or more companies. For every G/L account there is an account number, an account description, and information that determines the function of the account.
You have to assign a Chart of Accounts to every company. This Chart of Accounts becomes operative after you carry out posting for these businesses in your daily business.
After choosing the most suitable Chart of Accounts, you can customize your choice by adding, adjusting, and changing. However, once posting were made to Chart of Accounts you cannot delete it.
Mandatory fields in SAP Business One: Code or FormatCode (when working with account segmentation), and FatherAccountKey.
To display the form in the application:
Select Financials --> Chart of Accounts (or Edit Chart of Accounts).
In the SDK I don't se any mention if the change is made in all the documents that were posted, I mean, its important to be sure that if I change the COA that it effectively changes it everywhere. -
How to change chart of account to company code
Dear Guruu2019s
I am new SAP FICO . I got the following thread . I have configured the company code through copy the existing company code. Now I want to change the Chart of Account to this company code. I gone to T code OB62 from position go to my company code I changed the chart of account but while saving the file I got thread u201CReset company code data before changing the chart of accountsu201D
How to go further could anybody explain me.
Thank you in advance
krishnaIf 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.
1. First of all you must, if it exists, reset the transaction data for this company code.
2. 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. -
Deactivate Cost center accounting in controlling area
Hi all,
Could you describe the consequences of the deactivation of CO-CCA in the controlling area?: should I expect incoherencies ?
The activation (deactivation) code setting is free in OKKP transaction. My first deactivation test show me it's possible to make new postings in FI (FB60) and the cost center is not necessary anymore.
In fact in my case I don't need to check FI-CO reconciliation.
Regards
Pascal CueninHello
Why this type of requirement is coming into our mind. SAP controlling has very good funtionalities for internal reporting. If you deactivate cost center accounting then how your management would see...cost center reporting, budgeting, controlling
for example you have cost element salary,,,,,with one gl for a company,,,how you will distinguish salary with reference to a division , dept, location....
how you will get your assessment, settlement, costing all these for which CO functionalities are developed

Reset the company code before changing chart of accounts
i have created a new chart of accounts.
when i m trying to assign to company code i m getting this error.
i tried with OBR1 tcode also but still getting the error.
how to solve this issue..
thanks in advance.If you are just starting the company code, you may want to delete the company code and recreate it. Then give the new COA. This may take some time, because if when you just create company code there are numerous tables that get updated. You may also want to check the company code.
