CHART OF ACCOUNTS - Change Length of G/L account number

Hi everybody.
I need your help.
Which are the consecuences in the FI and logistic modules if I change the Length of the chart of account from 6 to 8.
I guess it's only changing the accounts, could there be something else?
Thank you for your help.

10 characters is the max.
Please note that typically, we have 5, 6, or 7 digits is typical
I wanted to ask some of you about the impact of using alphanumeric chart of account.
Best regards,

Obyc for country chart of account

Hi,
what is setting required for obyc for country chart of account. I have already assigned country chart of account number in operative chart of account- Comapny code section.
CHEERS

Dear Nitin,
You can not assign an 'Alternative Account' of Country Chart of Accounts in OBYC, neither no additional customization settings can be defined in SAP to achieve your requirement.
Country Chart of Accounts is just for the purpose of drawing a Balance Sheet with reference to Alternative Accounts instead of GL Account from Operating Chart of Accounts.
As you said, only assignment of Alternative Account in GL Master record is possible, means to say that you are just linking GL and Alt A/c for the above purpose of Balance sheet.
So whatever postings (say for instance, inventory postings to Stock GL Account) you made via OBYC will not really flow into this Alternative Account and thus no point in talking about displaying this Alt a/c balances.
Regards
Mahesh

Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?

Dear Colleagues,
Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?
Thank you in advance.
Andrey

It is not an easy change. Oracle typically recommends against it but sometimes company structure or processes change so much that you are forced to do it.
Take a look at http://www.vantagesolutions.com/media/SCOUG_May_2004.pdf as well as http://www.erpstuff.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6381.
If you google "change oracle chart of accounts", you will find some more hits as well. This is a big project.
If you other business reasons to do a reimplementation, then changing COA as part of that will be very easy.
For a lot of companies debating between reimplementation and upgrade, a need to change COA becomes the last straw in favor of reimplementation.
Hope this helps,

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.

How to go further could anybody explain me.
Thank you in advance
krishna

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.
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.

Alt Chart of Accounts: Change of GL Assignment

Hello Experts,
We have implemented Alternate Chart Of Account (CoA). Balances have been posted. Now during the middle of the Fiscal Year, Government has changed the numbering of few of the local chart of account numbers.
SAP gives error message and does not allow to change the Alt G/L assigned in the master data of the main CoA.
Is there any way out to change the G/L assignments, some SAP program to run or likewise?
We don't want to create new G/L accounts in the corporate CoA in this case and redo the new assignment.
Please let me know if you have come across such a situation.
Regards,
Kshitij J

Hi,
Try this:
remove the COUNTRY COA assigned
replace Alt G/l ...
Again asssign COUNTRY COA
If it helps then pl points as a way to say thanks..

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.

Hi
What Implications that may have applied reset to a company code that has been productive and has therefore are posted from FI, CO, MM, SD, PM, PP and WM. (Reset Transaction: OBR1 for Delete Company Code Data)
It is important to point out that the company began to operate with the modules MM, SD, PM, WM and PP without considering its effects on FI and CO and therefore the data that is in financial accounting and cost is not to relevate for the company. This is to be done with the intention to start with a new Plan of Accounts for this company code.
thanks for the help they can give me!!!!!!

Maximum length for Chart of Accounts

hi experts,
In chart of accounts max length is 10. generally all are taken 6, if we take any other number other than 6 how is effect and how it works can you explain clerly ? pls explain effects wit all, like 1234578910
Edited by: Lakshmipathi on Jan 4, 2012 7:02 PM
Please use the subject effectively

Hi,
You can take any numbers considering that the number would be sufficient to accomodate the requirement of the company; even 3,4,5. You can even include alphabets in that. There is no hard rule that it should be 6, but the maximum is 10. Generally companies choose from 6-8; and for consolidated/group account even 10.
Please let us know if you need any further details.
Warm regards,

Change of Chart of Accounts

Hi SAP Experts
I hereby would like to know what the posibility is to change a company Chart of Accounts.
The company was linked to a Chart of Accounts and operated for couple of months (year). As this Chart of Accounts are also assigned to other company codes, the said company wants it own (new) Chart of Accounts.
Is it possible for a company that was operative to change its Chart of Accounts?
Theo

Hi,
We cannot change simply the Chart of Accounts. There is mandatory process to follow.
If you are trying to change system will prompt you error message, reset the transactionl data.
1. Create a seperate Client with the help of Basis People
2. Copy the Transactional Data in separate client.
3. Now reset the data in Original Client
4. Now change the COA.
5. Now copy/migrate the Transactional Data to Old Client.
Note: Before resetting the data, actual Transactional Data should be copied in to another client without loosing your Business Data.
Thanks

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
Piotr

Hi,
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,
Srinu
