Checking cross company postings

Hello Gurus,
I was trying to manually post a cross company code transaction just to check the process. I have assigned GL accounts (In txn OBYA) in both the company codes and when i was trying to post i am not able to see the cross company transaction happening. Am i missing any configuration or is there anything that iam doing wrong?? Kindly suggest me !!
If there are any particular steps that i need to follow please let me know?
Thanks,

Hi,
T code to set up cross company code configuraiton is OBYA.
Enter Company Code 1 and Company Code 2.
Enter Posting Key and GL Acct in Company Code 2 for Posting Made in Company Code 1 and to be cleared in Company Code 2 (for both payables and receivables).
Enter similar configuraiton for for Posting Made in Company Code 2 and to be cleared in Company Code 1.
Cross Company Code Transactions
A cross company code transaction involves 2 or more company codes in one business transaction. For a cross company code transaction, the system will post a separate document in each of the company codes involved.
Examples for cross company code transactions are:
One company code makes purchases for other company codes (Central Procurement)
One company code pays for other company codes (Central Payment)
One company code sells goods to other company code
Steps:
Create Clearing Accounts in each of the company codes.
The Clearing Accounts may be GL Accounts, Customer or Vendor Accounts.
Configure the Automatic Postings for Cross Company Code Transactions by assigning Clearing Accounts for both the company codes.
Creation of Clearing Accounts in both the Company Codes (FS00)
Then at the time of entry in second line item you give in "new company code" field.
it will work

Posting Level 01 documents allow cross company postings - unexpected

hi,
Previously users could not enter a PL01 document that crossed companies.
Now they can.
I had previously thought that this was not possible for PL01 but what is happening is
when they enter cross-company postings (2 lines, one each to a different cons unit)
the system creates 2 documents,
with 2 balancing entry lines (one to each unit) to the clearing item
- just as can happen when a PL20 or PL30 manual posting is to the same company but cross-profit centres.
So my question;
is this normal behaviour in BCS?
was this always possible but the users just hadn't achieved it until now
NB they are adamant that this was not possible previously, until the Support Packs were implemented sometime last year
Finally, is there a way to stop it from happening?

Concur with Dan.
Most likely, that you've met the 2nd case: the DocType with configured clearing ConsUnit was attached to manual entry task. It might be not easily seen. Just check it out and remove if find.

CROSS COMPANY POSTINGS

Dear All,
I am having a doubt regarding the cross company postings. The issue what i am facing is
I am having two company codes let it be A & B, now that co.code A had purchased from the vendor V and the payment to vendor V has to be made through the co code B.
But while posting the document it is giving an error stating that "maintain a unique company"
for that i had checked
1. two co.codes are assigned to the same trading partner(company)
2. checked OBYA configuration
3. checked OB60 configuration
4. doc type is allowing the inter company postings and trading partner
In which all the settings are perfectly done. But finaaly i am unable to post the document it is allowing me to simulate(even at the point of simulate i am getting 4 line items excluding taxes) but i am unable to post the document.
Hoping the guidelines for resolving the issue ASAP
with regards
Praveen

sure ravi from next time i will correct my self
the error i am getting is
A unique company code has not been assigned to company number XXXXXX
Message no. GLT0001
Diagnosis
Document breakdown is active in your system. In certain cases, a company code is derived from the company ID number, and this must lead to the assignment of a unique company code.
A unique company code could not be assigned to company number XXXXXX.
System Response
You cannot carry out the required posting.
Procedure
Assign one company code to company number XXXXXX.

Prevent CO cross company postings - cobl-bukrs ?

Hi,
the last time I created a CO validation to prevent cross company CO postings is so long ago, that I can not remember. But i remeber something like "sender comp code <> receiv comp code".
I am trying to creat this again, but do not find the cobl field for receiving company code.
The I fould KM 0120025231 0000491809 2006 (KB21N does not check company code for intercompany posting)
where the solution is to be:
Prerequisite: "No precondition necessary" TRUE
Check: COBL-BUKRS <> COBL-BUKRS
Message: own created message ZZ 010 as a Message type 'E'
1. this prevents now all postings not only cross company
2. I dont get the idea of COBL-BUKRS <> COBL-BUKRS (like if 1 <> 1 which could never happen)
Hints highly appreciated
Bjoern

Hi Bjoern,
Eli is right. I just had look at the old message. Basically she was right...you might have overlooked that she was refering to event "2"...hence the validation rule is:
COBL_RECEIVER-BUKRS < > COBL_SENDER-BUKRS

Bank statment cross company postings

Hi,
we want some of the items in bank statement post to bank clearing account in another company code. How we achieve that
Following are the details
Company code = ABC
House bank = def
In bank statement from house bank Def there are items that needs to be posted to Company code = GHI
                               Dr Bank def company code ABC
                               cr intercompany ghi

                                Dr intercompany ABC
kindly advise
Umang

Hello,
The SAP note 124655 explains the following:
The electronic bank statement is not designed for cross-company code
postings (this also applies to the manual bank statement). You can,
however, create these postings manually, for instance by the
subsequent processing of BI sessions or using Transaction FEBA.
However, this can lead to unwanted results in the document display
of Transaction FEBA. In this case, this is not caused by any errors
but missing system functions.

Query to check cross segment postings

Hi,
I have a database with a segmented chart of accounts. It has only 1 segment for the company. The client would like to have the ability to post across segments however I need to ensure that the journal is always balanced overall, but aswell as with a specific segment.
I would like to create a SQL query to check all my journal entries to determine weather the journal is balanced on all segments...
Any ideas?
Grant
Edited by: Darius Heydarian on Mar 27, 2008 2:06 PM

Hi Suda,
I have a journal as follows:
Account Code--Debit--
Credit
720002-002--2000--
720002-003--1000--
720001-001----
3000
201201-001--3000--
201201-002----
2000
201201-003----
1000
In the above example you will notice that the journal is balanced, and the debits and credits between each segment is also balanced. This transaction is therefore acceptable.
If the journal is balanced, but the debits and credits for a specific segment are not in balance then the transaction is not acceptable.
I need a way to either block these type of journals or alternatively to provide a report to highlight the "incorrect" journals...
Hope hope this makes my requirement a little clearer...
Regards
Grant

Cross-company code postings - FI validation

Hi,
We start using the cross-company code postings (transaction OBYA) between company code A and company code B and have to give authorizations both company codes to the Finance users. The idea is to have a set of G/L accounts which are allowed to be used when company code A and B are posted via cross-company code posting.
SAP recommends to implement a validation in FI to restrict the Intercompany scenatios. I attempted to create a FI validation for complete document (call-point 3) with no success:
1)
IC Rule: BSEG-BUKRS = A and BSEG-BUKRS = B and BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC rule
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
When I test it, the Intercompany clearing account configured in OBYA, and which is in ACCOUNTSET, shows up in the error message, which unwanted.
2)
IC Rule 1: BKPF-BUKRS = '0017' AND BKPF-BUKRS = '0005'
IC Rule 2: BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC Rule 1 --> IC Rule 2
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
No error message is issued at all, even if the G/L account is not in ACCOUNTSET.
Please advise what I am missing.

Hi Nitin,
Thank you for your feeback.
I just wanted to clarify that the cross-company code posting is when company code A can intitiate a posting to company code B simultaneously (for example Intercompany re-charge, cash concentration, etc.). The trigger for cross-company code posting is the company code field on the line item. If company code A is in the header (BKPF-BUKRS) and at least one document line item filled up as company code B, the system created two documents for each company code, offsetting the Intercompany clearing account, configured in OBYA.
For example:
Posting via FB50: Leading company code = company code A (BKPF-BUKRS)
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200; Company code A (as a default)
Item 2: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100; Company code B (manually changed)
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300; Company code A (as a default)
The systen creates two postings:
Posting 1: company code A
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200;
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300;
Item 2: Debit ; I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
Posting 2: company code B
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100;
Item 2: Credit;I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
The only connection between the two is the cross-company code number (BKPF-BVORG), which assigned by the system once posted, as a logical connection.
I guess we could use a dedicated document type. If that's the case, how would the validation work then?
Coudl you please share more details on the BTE option?
Thank you,
Inna

While doing cross company code postings I get an error

Hi experts,
I have an issue on cross company code postings through FB60. There is a vendor account which has been extended to both company codes. The amount of invoice is Rs.10000 of which 6000 to be accounted in company code 1000 and 4000 in company code 5000. When this is done we get an error 'A unique company code has not been assigned to company number A001'.
After trying several options, I have found one solution. In the test system I Went to classify FI document types for document splitting, against document type KR transaction 0300 (Vendor invoice) was there. I changed to 0000 (unspecified posting). Once this was done, I was able to post cross company transactions without any problem.
I would like to know as to what would be the impact? Would this change create any other issue?
I request you to give your expert opinion on this.

Ramkumar B.

FI Moderator

Dear,
When you are posting vendor Invoice through FB60 then system creates accounting document "KR" and when document splitting is activated in system the you have to assign Doc type KR to Transaction 0300 and 0001.
This is standard requirement. There will not be any changes by doing this.
Hope it is clear..

Cross company payment through F-53, error in Check deposit & check issue tr

Hi
I have just joined the community and ready with 3 queries.
Please.......... help me to resolve.
i) While executing the cross company payment ( company code 1300 making payment for vendor in company code 0013) using transaction code F-53, I am getting error 'vendor not defined in company code 1300'.
For F-53 screen, vendor is selected from company code 0013.
I have executed APP (F110) successfully in company code 1300 for paying the same vendor in company code 0013.
ii) For check deposit transaction, error is " entry 1300 is missing in table TO43S'. (1300 is a company code)
iii) For check issue transaction, error is "no batch input data for screen SAPMF05A'
Thanks
Rekha

1. Don't give vendor number in the main screen, give all remaining inouts and press enter, then it'll show the second screen
there you can give the company code and vendor account.
2. Cretae a tolerance group for GL accounts in OBA0.
Don't post more than one query in the same thread.

Cross Company Stock Transfer- Please check excise base for the item is zero

Hi,
My scenario is Cross company Stock transfer (Two different Company Codes)
I have done following steps :
1.Create Purchase Order
2.Create Outbound Delivery for Purchase Order
3.Post Goods Issue for Delivery
4.Creating Billing Document
5.Creating Excise Invoice
6.Printing of Excise Invoice
7.Post Goods Receipt for Stock Transport Order
Till MIGO there is no problem.
I am getting a errro while doing MIGO with reference to Outbound Delivery, when I enter Excise Invoice created in sending plant, I am getting error as
"Please check excise base for the item is zero" - Message no. 4F121
Excise Duty values are flowing as per the excise invoice but system make base value as 0 , I have maintained Assesable value in J1ID also. We are using TAXINN.
Pl. help
Thanks
Vikas

Hi
The best way to slolve this problem, Now is to maintain Assable value in Material Master For reciving Plant.
Hear you can maintain all the chapter id, register A or C, etc
and then try doing GR,
The other way and the permanent solution is
VPRS or equivalent
Condition class B Prices
Calculat.type C Quantity
Condit.category H
Cond.control H Condition value fixed
Condit.origin A Automatic pricing
In this Condition category is most important and by this only system copies the base amount for excise duty calculation in MIGO or J1IEX.

Value date cross company code postings

Dear all,
it is possible to influence the value date on a company code level via the transaction OB68. With this transaction you can state that the current date is used as the default value for the value date when entering line items.This works fine when posting a G/L posting within the same company code.
When entering a cross company code posting, the indicator in transaction OB68 is ignored and the document date is used to be proposed as default value for the value date.
Does anyone know which SAP parameters can influence the value date for cross company code postings ? If this is not standard SAP possible, does anyone already encountered this problem and, if so, how did one solve this issue ?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Kristof

thank you for the reply ... unfortunately I expected some Z-programmation

Prevent cross-company code postings for certain document type

Hi all!
I am looking for a possibility to prevent users from posting a "cross-company code posting" just for a certain document type.
I checked validation rules and BTEs but without success. Do you have an idea?
Thanks for any support.
Michael

Thanks for your reply. I have already tried to use a validation rule, but without success.
It did not work as the relevant field "New company code" (NEWBK) in not part of BKPF or BSEG, but (only) of structure RF05A. Thus, I cannot use the field in a validation rule.
Or is there a way to make RF05A fields available for use in validation rules?
Regards, Michael

Restrict cross CO area postings and allow cross company code postings

" There are two Controlling areas CA01 and CA02, for the controlling area CA02 the field CO code validation is inactive to allow cross company code postings ie., (Cost center created in one company code can be used as cost object in other company code ) Also this allows any WBS element created in controlling area CA01 as cost object in any of the company codes assigned in controlling area CA02,
Due to usage of WBS element which is created in CA01 controlling area as cost object in company code belongs to controlling area CA02, business is facing problem while doing the settlement run with error message " Document data for list of origins does not exist"
So, I have activated the field Co code validation in the controlling area CA02, which stopped the usage of WBS element between controlling areas. Also this had restricted usage of cost object between company codes with in controlling area CA02.
Now is there anyway to allow cost object usage between company codes assigned in one controlling area (CA02) and restrict usage of WBS element created in controlling area CA01 in any company code assigned in controlling area CA02.

Hi,
As you have already activated the Co Code validation you cant restrict that only to WBS. But you can have another option
Use the validation process to restrict these errors
This may help

Cross company code downpayment posting error

Hi,
When I am posting cross company code downpayment in F-48 getting below error.
"Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled".
Vendor A/c (Company A)
Bank clearing A/c(Company B) - Profit center 25000
Problem it is not deriving the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c. I have used document type KZ, check boxes "intercompany postings" and "trading partner" are activated in this document type.
Default profit center has made for Bank clearing A/c and Cross company code clearing A/c. Assigned Profit center 25000 for Company A also.
Kindly advice where I am wrong, which is the correct document type to post the Cross company code transactions (Down payment:F-48, charging-off GL open item to Vendor) to derive the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c? Or
How can I configure in New GL that the profit center should get derived from the Cross company code clearing A/c for above cross company code transactions?
Best regards
Shanid

Hi Atif,
Thanks again for your reply.
Since we have made Profit center as mandatory in New GL charactristcs this will give the priority to enter the Profit center as
Mandatory. As I mentioned earlier we required profit center in all lines.
I have tried whatever you have said, still it is not working.
It will be great if you give a solution for this.
Regards
Shanu

Document splitting issues in Cross company code scenario

Hi
We have the following business scenario:
(Please note : Document splitting with Real time CO-FI integration is active)
1)one company(say, Co.code X) purchases on behalf of another group
company(Co.code Y)
2)the cost center of Co.code Y is given in the 'Account assignment' tab
in the Purchase order created in 'X'.
3)The PO is created in foreign currency
4)So, when the Goods receipt happens, the expense posting is happening
in Co.code Y and the GRIR entry is in X.
5)When the invoice is posted in co.code X, the Vendor Open item (in
foreign currency) gets created in X.
6)The problem occurs when Forex.valuation is done for the Vendor open
item. The Forex.gain/loss is getting posted in Co.code X by deriving
the Cost object from the expense posting in Co.code Y. Now, the system
is giving an error message 'CO object doesnt belong to X co.code'
I beleive this is the way document splitting normally works by deriving
the CO object form the original expense posting onto the subsequent
documents but I guess, it is failing in this scenario. Please let me
know if there is a work around to resolve this issue.
Regards
Ravi

We normally do the independent splitting of documents in respective company codes (This being the limitation mentioned by SAP for cross company code postings).
In the document split configuration, for Define document splitting rule, check for the leading item for cross company code transactions, and check for the item categories to be edited. The following two entries will be there
1100 Company Code Clearing CC = CC of leading item
1100 Company Code Clearing CC <> CC of leading item
In case of independent splitting, remove the first entry and check.
Thanks and Regards,
Mamta Sarda
