Company code change involves invalid change of country

Hi collegues,
we are facing one problem. We would like to change Cost Centre to root org. unit in IT 1001 (A 011) and when we do that, the next message apearrs:
Company code change involves invalid change of country
Message no. PD002
Diagnosis
The change that you want to make leads to a change in company code for the persons linked to the organizational objects. When this particular company code changes, the country also changes or the new company code is not assigned to any country. It is not possible to change a company code for a new company code which belongs to another country, or is not assigned to a country. The change is therefore terminated. terminated.
System response
The action is terminated. No organizational change is carried out.
Procedure
Changes can only be carried out within a country. The country change cannot be carried out from the current action.
Searching on the net, I haven't found what exactlz causes this message. I have checked the company code and it is assigned to the same country, so if anyone had experience with this message can you help what exactly is causing a problem.
Thank you.
Romano

The system is showing this error message because the change in the
country assignment of the organizational unit would lead to country
changes of the assigned employees which is not allowed.
ADMIN CNTRY switch should be set as well, but you ll get the error if above is true.
check in infotype 0003 value of VIEKN which corresponds to country

Create Idocs based on Company Code change & Line Items less than 950

Dear all,
I am trying to create the Idocs based on the flat file in the following way.
1) Create the Idoc per company code
2) If company code exceeds 950 lines then create another Idoc
I am trying to follow this BLOG and could not be able to achieve it because in the Blog explained with flat structure and my case is Idoc structure.
/people/claus.wallacher/blog/2006/06/29/message-splitting-using-the-graphical-mapping-tool
I changed the Idoc Occurrence and imported to External definition.
I am able to do the both check individually but not able to put them in combining.
Please advice..

Company code change

we need to revise the wrong design, previously, consultants create one company code A001 and
three redundant company codes A002, A003, A005 in 2009, they are all under one controlling area and same currency and chart of account, now we want to remove three additional company codes A002,a003 and a005, and all the configuration, master data and transaction data needs to move into A001 in production. we use AA, GL, AP, AR , special ledger and CO-CCA, IO, so what are the points we need to keep in mind when we do the merge. any suggestion on the steps we need to perform?
how to migrate those FI open items and documents, how about those assets depreciated in half way, any guideline, thanks

Hi.
'I download from fbl1n, 3n,5n, but only document number, document type, amount in Local currency, do you mean use this and lsmw to upload?'-yes, you need to post this items(only for open items). If account is not managed in open items then upload only balance.
About assets accounts I wrote before, you need to transfer via abt1n, if you need accumulated depr then use GROSS method.
'some inventory account'- you mean material?if so you need to use mov. type 561 (it's better to ask mm consultant if you're not in charge of)
'how to sending the stock balance, so stock and GL will tie after we migrate to new company code?'-please clarify.
'you mention abt1n, but how about asset master data, depreciation key? how to move four depreciation area (we have same depreciation area for these copany codes)?how to close asset module in the old company codes?'-as I wrote in previous post you can create master data in abt1n during posting(write program which use abt1n and create asset with the same data). About depr key, if you have the same then it's easy to copy.
'any idea on special ledger module, we have both SD,MM column in our special ledger summary table and line item table, how to move these three years data?'- you want to upload historical data?I mean all movements?As per my practice, I did only for one year. For audit you can leave another years in old company codes. That's why I never delete data from old CC-I mean to see historical data

Is it possible to assign different company code employees(country grouping also different) under same Organizational Unit?

Hi SAP Experts,
In OM side, Org Unit is linked to company code "GB**" cost center, when we tried to assign new cost center(company code is GB**), system throws error "Company Code changes involves Invalid change of country". I know when we try to assign cost center, belongs to another country company code, this error comes. I checked and found that employees under OU belong to 2 different countries.Few of the employees belong to GB** company code while other employees belong to FI** company code.
Is it possible to assign different company code employees(different country code) to the same OU? if yes, how can we do that?
Please reply soon
BR,
RG

Hi RG
"Is it possible to assign different company code employees(different country code) to the same OU? if yes, how can we do that?"
Yes it is possible to assign by creating sub org unit and then assigning cost center based on the company code (and country code)
When the child org unit is created under the Parent org unit - maintain the Account assignment details - cost center details based on the company code of other countries i.e Finland and any positions created it will be under Finland and that way you can choose different countries.
Example :
Root Org unit : XYZ / OU
Sub Org units : GB / Finland / Italy / NL etc with respective cost centers
Sub Org units or positions: GB_HR / GB_Sales etc which will default the cost center from the GB org unit.
In our current clients we have more than 5 + countries under the Root Org unit and then sub org units as each country which are further divided and have respective cost centers assigned.

Cross company code transcations

hai to all my loving friends
What r cross company code transcations. pls explain how this trancations r going to be done ,what r the advantages of it,pls any attachments.
[email protected]

Cross company transactions means, when more than one company codes are involved in the same transaction e.g. expenses incurred in one company code but payment is made by another company code. In other words one leg of accounting entry is in one company code and another in the othe company code.
For this you need to first complete settings in t code OBYA and then you can post a cross company document using F-02 or FB50 by changing the company code for line item. T code for viewing cross company code is FBU3 and for reversal FBU8.
Award points,if usefull.

Rename Company code

Hi SAP Profs.
Can we rename Company Code, Sales Org. and other entities
e.g. ABCL to ABIT
Please reply it asap its urgent
Thanks in advance
Rajesh

Hi rajesh,
1.first thing, any change you make in SPRO would result in a request so you have to transport it across all the systems of the landscape till PRD to maintain uniformity.
2.Am not sure how changing the name should have a bearing on any functinality and may not be recommended in the first place. Name gets importance only by the functionality we attribute to it. Please reconsider this decision in the first place.
3.Once a name is fixed ie ABCD company code, it cannot be changed but only the description. Even if you copy the name into a new company code, there will be plenty of settings which you have to change which is very sensitive and cumbersome. Am not sure what kind of business requirement needs this perhaps dangerous move.
4. In a way you are doing a new project where resources must be thre if its required. The settings of company code change not only effect SD but other functions like MM, PP and within FI many.

Mapping Plants to Company Code

Hi Experts,
I understand that for SAP/R3... A plant and a company code should be in the same country. But with release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
However, for SAP ERP2004 (ECC5.0), can plants in different countries be assigned to one company code?

Samuel Ho

Hi,
it is
superTypes += typeRef("xjaf.server.agm.AgentClass")
xjaf.server.agm.AgentClass has to be on the classpath of the model file

Cross company code txn

Hi,
I have to create a report on cross company code transactions, can any one let me know how to do this?
I have never worked on cross company code transactions can any one explain me about it.

Dear Sultan,
You can use report RFBVOR00 to display cross-company code transactions.
Cross-Company code transactions:
A cross-company code transaction involves two or more company codes in one business transaction. Examples:
One company code makes purchases for other company codes (Central Procurement)
a. One company code pays invoices for other company codes (Central Payment)
b. One company code sells goods to other company codes
A cross-company code transaction posts to accounts in several company codes. This cannot be done by posting only one document because a document is always assigned to exactly one company code. Instead, the system creates and posts a
separate document in each company code involved. In order to balance debits and credits within these documents, the system generates automatic line items which are posted to clearing accounts, for payables or receivables.
The documentswhich belong to one cross-company code transaction are linked by a common cross-company code transaction number.
Hope the above information helps you to understand Cross - Company Code Transactions

I am trying to change my country from South Africa to Uk. I change my address on my id. When I sign into apple store, it asks me to verify the address details. It then comes up with invalid post code. All that works is the SA post code, not any UK code

I am trying to change my country from South Afrika to UK. I went into change ID, chose UK flag, changed everything to the new address. Logged into Apple Store, then got a message to verify account. Tells me invalid post code. Will not take anything else except my SA postcode. Then Apple store reverts back to Soth Africa and not UK

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

How to change company code from notifications ??

Our company code has changed so now I have to change all the notifications accordingly. we use notifications to register our issues for the customer.
what are the options to change everything to the new company code ?
Message was edited by:
A. de Smidt

Hello,
as far as I can see you can check the following tables:
QMEL
QMIH
QMSM
QMFE
QMUR
QMMA
I am not quite sure what kind of notifications are involved the easiest way to find the correspondent notifications is by using QMEL-QMART for the selection which is the notification type used.
If you could specify what you mean with company code, I could possibly be able to offer you more information.

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. I gone to T code OB62 from position go to my company code I changed the chart of account but while saving the file I got thread u201CReset company code data before changing the chart of accountsu201D
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.

Creation of a PO with reference to a contract - change of company code

Hi experts,
When a PO is made with reference to an existing contract, the company code is copied automatically from the contract into the PO.
Do you have an idea if it's possible to modify this in the PO? So that we can choose another company code?
Thanks,
Michaë

Ofcourse you can change the company code in the purchase order.
However please check that same purchase organization is responsible for both the company codes.
However it might give you an error that plant is not assigned to the company code.
Therefore the best way is to create the PO without reference of that contract OR you can create a contract for the company code in PO and then create a PO with the same.

Change of Company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group.

Dear All,
Please advise on change of company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group , we have Cons Structure - at present few companies are in one cons group and as a policy we have to move the companies to another cons group. So please advise me what will be the case if we move int he following senarios:
1. if till period 012 year 2008, company A is in Cons Group AA and we want the same to Cons Group BB. How it will move to Cons Group BB in a Company code with the opening balances?
2. if there is no data in SEM BCS total Cube - and we want to move the Company A from Cons Group AA to Cons Group BB.
What will be the effect in both the scenarios. How to do this? if you can specify some steps then I will try to analyze the situation.
Thanks in advance

The changes are not complicated but company A must be placed in cons group BB as of period 12 2008 and in the master data of the cons group it should be indicated that the first consolidation is at the end of the period (EOP). Likewise in cons group AA must continue to include company A but in the cons group master data it must be indicated that the period of divestiture is 12 2008 EOP.
The cons group changes tasks must be executed to move the balances in period 12 2008.
If there is not data for company A in the totals infocube you may simply drag-and-drop company A from cons group AA to cons group BB without any concerns.
The affect in each scenario is different because if there is data that is to be reported as part of cons group AA company A must be included in cons group AA.

How to change posting period for a company code

Hi Gurus,
In MIGO while doing goods receipt i get this error " Posting only possible in periods 2006/05 and 2006/04 in company code 3000"
How to change the posting period.
I have serched in SDN, i tried transaction MMPV, and OB52 but i am not able to change as i dont know the basics of the screen as i am ABAPER.
Can u tell me how to change. or give sme link with some snapshots.
Thanks

hi
I think you need to check your fiscal year varian before you do the MMPV. Fiscal year is set up by the FI consultant and it is deciding in which fiscal year period your current month belongs to.(Transaction -OB29)
Ex:
if you use K4 fiscal year variant then this october month is treated as 2010-07 period. Because the fiscal year starts from April and 2010 fiscal year starts from 2009 april.
Calendar Year                 Fiscal year
2009 april                =       2010 - 01
2009 may                =       2010 - 02
2009 Oct                 =       2010 - 07
So first get the fiscal year and period accurately (I suggest get it from your FI guy) and put it in the MMPV
If you accidentally close a wrong period dont forget to follow these notes too.
