CoCd validation in controlling area

Hi Gurus,
I want to activate CoCd validation checkbox in the controlling area using OKKP.
This controlling area I want to change is active for some years.
When i try to do it, I get a critical warning message although it's possible (because the co.area is active).
I have also the option to do it as of date, and open a new record from 2010 year with this indicator.
What option is preferred?
Can you see any problem with any of these options?
Thanks
Ofer

HI Eugene,
Thanks
This is the messege I get:
Critical transport: Control indicator in controlling area
Message no. KT364
Diagnosis
You want to transport the control indicators in controlling area . These indicators include All currencies. Transporting this indicator can result in serious data inconsistencies in the target system, if:
As a result of the transport, the indicator is changed in the target system and
In the target system, you already planned or made account assignments to CO objects (cost centers or orders for example).
Procedure
If the target system already contains transaction data for CO objects from the controlling area, you should carry out the transport only if this does not change the indicator in the target system.
You can check the indicator in the Implementation Guide under:
Controlling -> General Controlling -> Production Start-Up Preparation -> Set "Update All Currencies" Indicator.
Choose Display indicator.
Note
Not that the entries displayed are the fiscal years as of which the indicator is active or inactive. This status holds until a new entry is made.
Examples
The target system already contains control indicators for 1994, 1997 and 2003. The following validity periods then exist:
Control indicator for year Validity period All currencies
1994 1994 - 1996 X
1997 1997 - 2002 X
2003 2003 - 9999 X
If the source system also contains an entry for the fiscal year 2000, for which the indicator is inactive, transporting the indicator would lead to the following:
1994 1994 - 1996 X
1997 1997 - 1999 X
2000 2000 - 2002
2003 2003 - 9999 X
In other words, for the period 2000 - 2002, the indicator would not be active in the target system.
Procedure for System Administration
Thanks

  • Cross company code validation in CO Area

    Dear All Experts,
    I am having one query regarding cross company code validation in CO area. I have ticked Cross company code validation in controlling area, and it is working perfect.
    we have total 11 company codes. 10 for US & 1 for Canada. Say 1001 to 1010 US company codes & Canda it is 1101.
    The requirement is :-
    Now client wants to post cross company code transaction within these 10 US company codes and it should not throw an error  ( Ideally which is giving right now ). It should give error only when posting to US company code transaction and Canada Cost Center or Internal Order.
    Can we restrict the company code for cross posting validation ? OR Can selected company codes set for validation indicator ?
    Experts guidance will be great on this.
    Regards,
    Sharvari Joshi.

    Dear,
    Murali.
    Thanks for your reply.
    As you said :- Validation check applies for all the company codes which are assigned to your controlling area.
    Means simply we can not apply this option to selective company codes, Right ?
    Once it is ticked it is applicable to all company codes.

  • Controlling area currencies

    What is the Importance of   All currencies and  Variance and  CC  Validation In Controlling Area Creaction Under Activate Components/Controlling Indicators.

    Hi ,
    In CO, you specify in the year-dependent settings for the controlling area (Transaction OKKP whether you want to use one or more currencies (flag "All currencies", TKA00-ALLEW). 
    If you decided to use one currency only, all documents are only managed in CO area currency.
    If you decided to use several currencies, the following three currencies are managed in CO:
        1. Controlling area currency
           The controlling area currency can be:
           -  10 company code currency (only if all company codes assigned to CO area have the same currency)
           -  20 free controlling area currency
           -  30 group currency
        2. Object currency (defined per object)
    As a rule, the object currency is the company code currency. Only in one case the object currency can be freely chosen, that is, if flag "different company code currencies allowed" is not active.  This flag is set automatically if CO area currency is not 10 and cross-company code accounting is set.
        3. Transaction currency (could be different in every posting).

  • Assigning CoCd to Controlling areas

    Hi,
    I have 4 company codes in 4 different countries with different currencies. Should i have 4 controlling areas or can i have just one controlling area what is more benificail.
    Appreciate any response
    Shine

    Hello
    One common controlling area is advised for all the 4 company codes. Maintain the controlling area currency as acceptable to global standards.
    Although the data from different company codes is flowing to controlling area, reporting is uniquely done.
    There is no need to maintain seperate CA with seperate currencies.

  • One Controlling Area for Two CoCds with different Fiscal Year variant

    Hi,
    I have a Company code with FYV "A1" with 12 Periods (Apr - Mar) - Fiscal year start at Apr-01 and ends Mar-31 of the next year.
    I have another company code with FYV "B1" with 12 Periods (Jan-Dec). - Fiscal year start at Jan-01 and ends Dec-31.
    Chart of Accounts for both the company code is same.
    Can I assign these two company codes to one Controlling Area?
    When I try to assign the company codes, I got the following warning message.
    Differing fiscal year variants: A1 - B1
    Message no. KT297
    Diagnosis
    Fiscal year variant A1, controlling area 1000, does not agree with fiscal year variant B1, company code 5001.
    The following entries must agree:
    - Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
    - Same period limits
    Procedure
    Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
    1. What is the meaning of "Same period limits"?
    2. Does it mean the fiscal year start and end date must be same?
    3. What is the impact of the warning message?
    Thanks
    Palani

    Having same fiscal year variant is one of the requirements for different company codes to be under one controlling area.
    The FYV for the company codes and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods. The number of posting periods must be the same.
    Impact of warning message: You cannot create one controlling area for both company codes (1:n assignment).
    If you like, you can create one controlling area for one compnay code with FYV A1 and another controlling area for another company code with FYV B1.

  • Activate components in controlling area

    Hi All,
    Please explain me on this.
    What is Activate components in controlling area.
    Why should we maintain active or not active for components.
    COST CENTER,  AA:ACTIVITY Type, Order management, Commit. management, Profitanalysis, Acty-based costing
    Why should we click on radio button for Profit center acctg, Projects, sales orders, cost objects, real estate mgmt.
    w. commit. mgt
    Why should we click on, All currencies, variances, cocd validation.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raghu

    Hi
    Now something good. Profitability analysis (COPA) is a component using which you can analyse your profitability from different dimensions such as product,dealer,sales area, sales organisation and so on. If COPA is in the scope of project then only it has to be activated.
    Hence Profitability analysis is not required to activate at the initial times in co area as it automatically when you activate your operating concern.
    Activity based costing again, should be activated on the client requirement only.

  • Activate Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency

    Hello,
    I have controlling area currency USD and company code currency INR. When I do WIP run then system is giving error messages "contr.area currecy is missing" and "not find valid cost component structure" and suggesting to maintain "Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency".
    When I maintain then after that I am not able to run CK11N for std.cost estimate only with the error "cost componenet spit costed with zero" and also system giving this message on front screen of ck11n, means not allowing to go into ck11n result screen.
    Could you please give me some tips or check point on this issue.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Ravi

    I'd revert to the Cost Component per Co Area currency config that you were forced to delete (as per your other post) - but this time, just for a Costing Type or a specific Val Variant and check the results.
    Maybe that'll throw some light... also check if you maintained all the Exchange Rate config in your system... check General Settings for all the config that is required.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    As process you should clear the down payment first and then vendor thry F-44.
    It should not be asking you for default cost centre untill there is validation rule set.

  • "Receiver port not valid in control record"...idoc error

    Hi,
    The new materials are sent to SAP via a text file which is placed in the application server which EDI uses to populate the Idoc segments and creates the material master.
    Recently we upgraded from SAP 4.6 C to ERP 5.0.
    After upgrading we are getting a message as Port(HPLED) invalid in control record.
    I get an error message as  "receiver port HPLED  not valid in control record"...
    It is not able to find  the receiver port & hence cannot create the MM.
    We checked all the config and compared with Test and production and we could not find any noticable change.
    Did anyone come across any infor on this?
    Your valubale reply is really very important for me.
    Pls reply.
    Regards,
    Pri

    Hey Ramesh,
    I've already done the WE57 setting.
    You see the WE57 setting is always done on the reciever side and not on the sender side (There is no harm but it is not what SAP recomends) The Linking on the sender side is done in the Partner Profile, where we give the extension name.
    For the reciever this Partner profile setting of extension is not there therefore we need to go to WE57 and do it.
    I've done all the config and have tried all the things in both the systems but somehow nothing is working.
    That is why I asked that in my Inbound FM which is IDOC_INPUT_HRMD do I need to popluate one of it Parameters or fields where I mention the Extension name and all.
    Yesterday however I found an SAP NOTE (105148) which tells me that my naming convention of the Extension is wrong. I have made ZHRMD_A07 extending standard IDOC tupe HRMD_A07, actually it should be ZRMD_A07. Again this is speculative I need to try this out. But I do know that SAP has various checks which checks all the naming convention and all. I'll try this out and hopefully it might work.
    In the meantime any other suggestions are most invited. I am using Message type HRMD_A and using IDOC type HRM_A07

  • Same operating concern for multiple controlling area

    Dear all,
    We have a senario in which multiple controlling area is defined with multiple currency. Is it feasible to use same operating concern or different.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi
    As long as the Fiscal Yr Variant is same between the two, you can use same Op Concern
    I dont think the above reply is valid because in my opinion, there is no restriction with regards to Currency
