Changing company code - controlling area assignment

Hi
For one of our company code controlling area set up is "Controlling area same as company code"_ and the currency type 10 i.e. company code currency. We are unable to assign another company code to contolling area because of the current set.
I would like to know whether there will be any impact if I change the set up to "Cross company-code cost accounting" and currency type to 30.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi Somar,

Cross company codes CO area

Hi,
What are the pre-requisites to be taken care seriously for a setup where more than one company codes will be assigned to a single controlling area (business in europe and India). The assigned company codes will have different currency and different fiscal varinat. One company code in europe so it has Jan to dec month in fiscal year with 12 posting periods. Other one (Indian business) has Apr- march (next year) in fiscal year variant with 13 posting period.
Thanks

Hi
In addition to the points highlighted above, I would like to highlight a few points/gaps
1. Asset closing is linked to Leading Ledger only.. You wont be able to perform any closing for the parallel ledger
2. If you plan to do LTP, you will face challenges... At one time, you can do LTP for one company code only... OMIK settings dont allow multiple company codes as the option.. I have also raised a development request with SAP a couple of years ago for this
3. With regards to planning in CO module - If you choose single controlling area, One of your companies will have to adopt the planning period as per the other company i.e. Either the Indian company will have to adopt Jan-Dec as planning period OR the European company will have to adopt Apr-Mar...Because, Planning in CO happens purely at the controlling area level
4. Period control in CO is also at Controlling area level and not company code..
5. If controlling area currency and comp code currency is different, you face challenges in using IM module as well... I dont recollect this very strongly, as I faced this problem a long time back
My personal choice is to have a separate controlling area when your geographies are different and fiscal year is different...Though the new functionalities of New GL and Parallel ledger are popularized enough, but one needs to look at the flip side of the same as well
Having separare controlling area gives you the flexibility and I dont see any drawbacks of it... You can very well draw the reports together because all report painter/BW reports allow you to customize the reports as you wish

Cross co. code controlling area - CO Real time integration with FI

Hi all of you,
We are in to New GL, and implementing one controlling area for all the company codes (cross company code cost accounting) with group currency "30". And my client requires the CO - FI Real time integration to take the segment reporting / profit center (new) FI reporting.
My basic doubt is, when we are implementing one CO area, we taking all the company codes as cost center groupings and creating the overhead cost centers. When doing Repost CO line items in CO, how system arrives the company code since we are not referring the FI document or Company code, how system will create the FI document in the company code.
Do we have any separate transaction to do the repost CO line items to hit the CO - FI real time integration?
Please give me your valuable suggestions to use the CO-FI real time integration with cross controlling area assigned to multiple company codes.
Thanks & Regards
Ramki

Thanks for your valuable reply Mr. Christian.
So you mean to say that, when we are maintaining the cost center groupings (per company code), same will be maintained for profit center and will be assigned to the individual company codes, right.
In CO - FI real time integration , I need to select the objects - company code and segment. Whenever any repost happened in the CO module, system will create one FI document referring to the real time objects. We have more than 12 company codes located in different countries. In this way, system is fulfilling the cross company code postings in CO and will generate the FI documents, right.
Please give me your valuable suggestion and when I am looking the note in Market place (91055), it is showing the CAD Interface.
Regards
Ramki

How to change company code in cost center master

Hi,
Can anyone throw me the light about how to change company code in cost center master? User make some mistake. They maintained wrong company code in cost center master and there are some transactions already posted to this cost center. I would appreciate all attention and point will be reqard. Thanks much
Best Regards,
Bird

Hi,
The cost center master data fields have time dependancy. Following are the details of time dependancy.
You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity types, and business processes as time-based. Changes to any other time interval are possible at any given time. Data storage is also time-based. In this way, you can store multiple database records for a master data record, each holding different information.
The time-based dependencies are determined by SAP and cannot be changed. The following dependencies are possible:
Not time-based
Day-based
Period-based
Fiscal Year-based
Cost Center's company code field's time based dependancy is Fisal Year Based and hence, the company code can be changed on cost center only on new fiscal year. And hence, system will not allow changing company code on cost center master data until new fiscal year if transactions are posted to the cost center.
You may have to think of work around :
1) Create new cost center with correct co code
2) Repost the cost posted to old cost center (with wrong co code) to the new cost center.
Explore the possibility of this work around on your system with the key user and then see whether this option works out.
Hope this helps. Pls. assign points if this is helpful.

Chirag

Re: IMpact in changing company code to company relation not during monthend

Hi Guru
I would like to know your opinions about the impact that may arise in changing company code - company relationship during the mid month(not exactly mid month - anytime expect month end )? If there is an impact what would be the best approach. We suggested to the change at the month end and do the month end activities ..but due to management decision, situation may appear where it needs to be done during the month . They have inter-company transaction .
Here is the scenario :
Company A has 1,2,3 and 4 as it's company code . The company code 4 now needs to be linked to a new company B . How can this be done during the middle of month ? How to get the reports for new company A and Company B and make sure the entries are correct one .For example on 18th of month company code 4 is been moved to company B. how will the assets depreciation will be posted that will reflect in Balance sheet . Let say total depreciation for the month is 300$( 30 days in month). I believe this will show up in both company B/L sheet as 300$. We are looking to differentiate 180$ being posted to Company A balance sheet and 120 to be posted to company B balance sheet .Your input on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Transaction <b>OX02 </b>changes the name.
It is not easy to change your company code to a new one.
You would need to copy your existing company code to the new one and go through the IMG and verify all settings. Then reconfigure all the modules that are using the old company code like purchasing, sales, etc. to point to the new code. Finally, you would need to transfer all the legacy data. Therefore it is far easier to keep the existing company code but give it a new text name.
Copy all the customization in a new client, no transactions and no master data. So youll have the same settings with your live system.
Created a new company code with the new currency, and copy all the customization. This step was to minimize step in re-customization.
Uploaded all the master data...and do a new transaction
The suggestion is don't do that in a live system or else youll have a big problem then.

Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent

Hi Gurus ,
can you please tell what i should do when the system gives the message that Profit center dummy and company code XX01 are not consistent . this is happening when i post document in FB50.

Owing to program or transport errors, the company code assignment of profit centers may not be stored correctly.
This inconsistent data then causes program terminations or short dumps in further processing.
This note contains the report ZPCA40B_CHECK_CEPC_BUKRS, which checks the consistency of the company code assignment and corrects possible errors.

Theme of company code & businesss area

Dear Friends,
I want to know what are the merit & demerit of one company code having four plant & for each plant having indivisual company code & what are the advantageses of business area points must be rewarded .
Thanks
Amin

Actually its not the point of mirets and demerit
Actually we should take the decision on the actual org structure that is for your client.
all the legal companies should be consider as company code ie ask how many balance sheet and P&L statment are they making and submitting to GOVT
If one then only one company code. this is the thumb rule.
u can make company codes as many as ur plants but it will have lot of issues
FI will know it better more
SAP will make the Balansheet and P&L for each company code and then how will u concildate to show it to govt.
TDS will have issue, as we will have to give TDS to govt for a legal company that is registred and its not possible to miss diffrent compony code together and make one TDS report
and ther could me other
IN terms of MM there is nothing much legal obstruction
but u will have to lot of setting on company code level
hope this gives soeme idea
Reward accordingly

Not able to change company code in CNMASS after cost planning/Budgeting

Hi experts,
After cost planning in my project, i was trying to change company code through CNMASS,
but system is not allowing me to do that.
Is there any notes/alternate solution, through which i can change the company code after cost planning or budgeting.
Thnx in adv.
Redards
Ashis

Ashis,
Company code is not changeable once planning, actuals, commitments or budget values exist. This is independent of the trx you use to change it: it will not be able in CNMASS, in CJ20N etc...
You need to undo any postings before changing the company code.
Hope this helps

If an employee changes Company code,how his YTD cumulations in CRT table calculates as per SAP Standards ?

Hi All,
Please help me out in understanding below scenario.
If an employee changes from one company code to another code, how his/her YTD cumulates in CRT table as per SAP Standards.
Let me go with example to make a clear understanding.
Ex : Payroll has run for an employee upto payperiod 05. As per his pay assume that his /101 is 5000.
                         Monthly                  Yearly
PP 1      :           5000                       5000
PP 2      :           5000                      10000
PP 3      :           5000                      15000
PP 4      :           5000                      20000
PP 5      :           5000                      25000
In PP 6 he has shifted from one company code to another company code. Now, how the system cumulates as per SAP standards ?
PP 6       :           5000                        ?
Will the amount nullifies or else adds to previous PP5 ?
Thanks in Advance....

Hi Ameet,
I understood the same. But my client is asking that the amount should nullify in CRT table for yearly when an employee changes company code.
And they have maintained different tax grouping for company codes in table v_t7ph0a. will that table makes any difference ?

Nalini.

How to change company code currency after psotings have been made

Hi,
Good day! May I ask for your expert advice about changing company code currency? Is it advisable? or is it at all possible? If so, do you have a procedure for this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Peter

Dear,
no this is not advisable.when You decide to create a Company, You have to decide which kind of currency You have to use for it. This is an asset. Therefor You have to take the correct decision before going live.
Now You can think to activate a parallel currency( transaction OB22), but please have strongly a look at the note 39919.
If You strictly wants to change the currency, You could refer to SLO service into SAP Market place.
Go Service Market Place homepage or Sapnet

I hope this helps You.

How to change company code in Assignment tab (CJ20n-project builder)

Dear All,
Is there any config to maintain company code in assignment tab (project builder) ? We have a problem in our project. It shows that in basic data, user put company code A (in basic data) but in Assignment tab they put different company code let say B. When we do settlement , two accounting document created to company code A and B. By right it should be only company code A. In addition, we cannot change the company code, when the status is already Release (REL).
Please help how to change the company code B to A and how to reverse the accounting document that has been created under these two accounting document.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
nies

Now I understand your scenario, you have the Requesting Company Code and the Company Code Different.
You usually use this primarily with IM module if you want to manage the asset under construction (cross company) belonging to a different i.e., company code (Requesting ) than company code on main WBS.
You can not change the company code (Assignment Tab) as you already have actual posted against it.
You've also created an AUC (in wrong company code) and even if you reverse the settlement you would not be allowed to delete the AUC or the delete the settlement rule (its grey out as its already used)
What I can suggest is to reverse the settlement, lock this WBS which was created wrongly, create a new WBS and then continue with you regular process.
Above are my views but you can expect views from others.
