Valuation at plant level and company code level

Hi,
Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
Regards,
Malsha Kalubowila

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

Upload of chart of accounts at coa and company code level

dear all
can you tell me how it is best to upload a new chart of accounts both as a chart of accounts level and company code. i am planning to use lsmw but shoud i upload chart of accounts first then company code level?
with many thanks
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you have single company code then create one LSMW for transaction "FS00" it upload the COA both at company code and COA level. If you have morethan one company code and you want to upload same COA to both company codes then better first COA level with FSP0 then company code level with FSS0 because here you can extend the required GL's from COA to COmpany code.

Regarding Purchase Org at plant and company code level

Hi MM Gurus,
I am supposed to prepare an organizational structure,
The procurement of raw materials is done centrally at corporate level,
and other nonstock items are done decentrally at plant level.
Is there a way we can design the organizational structure, based on material type.
How to define a purchase org for different material.

Hi,
Purchase Organisations can be based on material type.
purchasing org is where negotiations & vendor finalisation is done by the procurement team. this purchasing org is responsible for all material types.
you have decentralised policy of procurement. raw material is managed at corporate level, centrally. and non-stockable, fast moving items are managed at plant level.
You can have a individual purchasing org for each plant and assign it to them. a central purchasing would be assigned to all plants. You can keep the central purchasing org as reference purchasing org.
when you want that the prices fixed by central pur org should be applicable to all plants, then you need to create contract (OLA) in reference pur org. this contract is applicable to other plants by default.
Hope this answers your query.

Difference Between "Client Level & Company Code Level"

Hello
Can any explain me the difference between client level and company code level?
What is the configuration that we do on client level and company code level?

Message: Dear,
Client : Unit within SAP system, self-contained, separate master data with independent set of tables. It represent corporate group.
Company Code : Smallest organizational unit of external account for which a complete, self-contained bookkeeping system can be replicated.
e.g, company within a corporate group
Note: You will do the configuration at company code level by logging into the client for master tables etc..

Client level, chart of accounts level, company code level

Generally what are the areas under client level, chart of accounts level, company code level.
For Ex. document types are client level, number range company code level
like the above does we have any list which is falling in the above levels.

1. Generally during customising when co code data is not asked , then settings are client level.
Country, Currency, Document types, all variants of diff types, chart of accounts, etc
2. Every master is having data - General data level (client level) for use by all co codes, Co code data level(basically for accounting purposes) and so on.
These are applicable to GL, Vendor, Customer, Asset, Matlerials, etc
For particular application we have more information at another object level also- Vendor- Purchasing, Customer-Sales, materials-Plant- controlling, etc
3. Chart of accounts level assignments are done for all automatic posting definitions-which is applicable to all company codes which are using same chart of accounts.
4. In material setting- valuation can be grouping level, co code level or plant level as these are related to costing and product costing.
Hope the above will give some idea.
In the above nothing is written about CO as you have not asked-

Release BDC in SM35 in background, How to set defaul company code?

Hi There,
    I came across one problem of BDC session release in background.
    Currently my session always fails due to the company code not correct.
    How can I change the default company code in background?
    Thanks!

Hi Brad Bohn,
    Sorry for the late reply.
    Currently, I want to retire multi asset using transaction code ABAVN and ABAON.
    I want to run the BDC session in background, hence even I can pupup a dialog to input company code, I can not choose to do so because BDC session can not run in background if there is pup up dialog to fill in field. For example, if you upload data from local PC, you should choose the path, and there is a dialog pup up to let you choose the path, then in this case you can not run in backround.
Instead, I use bellowing code to set default company code.
SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
But the problem is, above setting can only influence foreground. I have 4 test for background BDC.
Assum there are 2 company code A and B.
Currenly our system default company code is A. ( I don't know why, it was A).
I run a BDC session which belongs to A, then I change the global parameter, to let SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
to 2 cases: the company code set to A and the company code set to B. In those 2 cases, in background, the BDC always success.
I have another test, I run one BDC which should run in company code B. I also change the SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs to be A or to be B. In those 2 cases, in bacground, the BDC always fail.
My question is, how to change the default company from A to B?
Thanks!

hi geeta,
ClientA Client is the highest unit within an SAP system and contains Master records and Tables. Data entered at this level are valid for all company code data and organizational structures allowing for data consistency. User access and authorizations are assigned to each client created. Users must specify which client they are working in at the point of logon to the SAP system.
A CompanyA Company is the unit to which your financial statements are created and can have one to many company codes assigned to it. A company is equivalent to your legal business organization. Consolidated financial statements are based on the companyu2019s financial statements. Companies are defined in configuration and assigned to company codes. Each company code must use the same COA( Chart of Accounts) and Fiscal Year. Also note that local currency for the company can be different.
Company CodesCompany Codes are the smallest unit within your organizational structure and is used for internal and external reporting purposes. Company Codes are not optional within SAP and are required to be defined. Financial transactions are viewed at the company code level. Company Codes can be created for any business organization whether national or international. It is recommended that once a Company Code has been defined in Configuration with all the required settings then other company codes later created should be copied from the existing company code. You can then make changes as needed. This reduces repetitive input of information that does not change from company code to company code as well as eliminate the possibility of missed data input.
Business Area Business Area is optional and is equivalent to a specific area of responsibility within your company or business segment. BA (Business Area) also allows for internal and external reporting.
Another configuration requirement for set-up in SAP are the Basic settings consisting of the following:
Chart of Accounts(COA)
Fiscal Year Variants.
Currencies
The COA(Chart of Accounts)
The COA(Chart of Accounts) lists all General Ledger accounts that are used by the organization. It is assigned in configuration to each company code and allows for daily General Ledger postings.
Fiscal Year configuration
Fiscal Year configuration is a must and can be defined to meet your companyu2019s reporting periods whether Fiscal (any period combination that is not calendar) or Calendar( Jan-Dec).
Posting Periods are defined and assigned to the Fiscal Year.
Within the periods you specify start dates and finished dates.
SAP allows for 12 posting periods along with specially defined periods that can be used for year-end financial closing.

How identify the data is client level,plant level or company code level

Dear sirs,
GM
How identify the data is client level,plant level or company code level?
If there is any T.code for same in SAP plz send me otherwise any procedure?
Hopeeeeeeeeee....

Hi,
Once you gain experience, you will not look at any table any field or any view...You will do it just like how you use keyboard once you pass type writing....
That is why every area of work, including master data is handed over to specialized teams...that will be their work day in and out....for some one newly entering, it will be little bit tough...once you practice, you will not be worried any more. Of course, basic data at client level, purchasing data plant level etc...some thumb rules are there...still, you will take big blow by following such thumb rules because if you verify storage condition assigned in the storage location is not storage location level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is experience!! In this forum, it is good to practice rewarding...else, there may not be any more replies
Good Luck

Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

HI,
I need clarification on "Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable"
When a company code "ABCD" isn't set up for contract accounts receivable and payable (Menu path:
SAP Insurance -> Collections/Disbursements -> Organizational Units -> Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable), are postings on this company code "ABCD" within FS-CD not allowed and blocked ?
Is it mandetory to specify company codes to post in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in SAP FS-CD.

Yes . It is mandatory to extend company code chart of accounts to CA/CR and FSCD.

Hi,
We have the following configuration:
1. Valuation of stock at Company Code level.
2. Transfer pricing between Profit Center (i.e. Material Ledger is active).
we experience some technical issues (e.g. we get error message when entering MM03 accounting view). Our Plants and Company Codes were created using copying standard SAP delivered Org. units.
Did any of you implement such a configuration? Do you have knowledge of limitations and problems that might result?
TIA for you help,
Avihay

Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

OKP1 - period lock on company code level

Hi all,
I wonder if anybody can help me with this issue.
Is there an alternative transaction (or any other way) to OKP1 for locking period only on company code level?
In standard, OKP1 locks on controlling area level.
The only way which comes on my mind is to set a new validation rule.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Peter

Hello Peter,
we are very interested in this issue.
For our project we also plan to have an assignment from 7 company codes to one controlling area and we also want to control the closing by company code.
Now we read your thread about this issue and try to work out how you have designed the validation step (OKC7) to check if one business transaction is only allowed for postings in a single/specific company code at the time.
We are looking forward to your reply!!
Kind regards
Udo
