RFIDYYWT across company codes produces 1099 with multiple records per TIN

We have multiple company codes that post 1099-MISC relevant payments to a common set of vendors. All payments are processed through our main (paying) company code.
All our company codes are one taxable entity to the federal government, with one TIN. We are required to submit one file to the IRS.
Unfortunately, when we execute RFIDYYWT across company codes we get multiple records per vendor, one for each company code, despite that the vendor has only one TIN.
How may we customize the system so that a single execution of RFIDYYWT provides an IRS compliant file that aggregates common vendor records?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Company code

We are in the process of defining the enterprise structure for our client. My question is on defining one company code v/s defining 4-5 company codes for the organization based on region. Can you please tell me the advantages of using only one company code wrt SAP MM or SAP LE??
thank you,

HI!
Company code is a legally independent company in the SAP System. It is advisable to use one company code instead of multiple company code for one legal unit. If you want to generate report for multiple regions than you can use Business area for reporting, but if you want to have a different legal unit according to region than you should use different company code for legal(external reporting) reporting.
So, If it is a statutory requirement than and only than you should segregate company code according to region otherwise different alternative are available as an alternative for company code.
By making one company code master data management will be easy and many other complications can be avoided.

External processing in the plant as vendor under same company code

Hi friends,
In our project under implementation we have following scenario.
we have 4 plants under one company code. one of the plant does powder coating as manufacturing activity. Other 3 plants sends components to the powder coating plant for coating purpose.
In IDES Standard scenario of external processing, a purchase requisition is raised thro info record maintained for the external operation. This scenarion works if the vendor is external.
In our case, the vendor is one of the other plant under same company code/client. Also the powder coating needs to be done without any profit margin for internal customers.
Our FICO guys have the opinion that, intra plant can't be a vendor; because raising invoices among plants under the same company codes is against accounting standars.
If anybody has faced this type of scenario nd found the solution, Please share it here.
Thanx in advance

Hi Shiva
STO scenario
You can not create only STO as you need to send the unpainted components to another plant through SAP & have them painted back with only payment of paining charges without margin.
Subcontracting scenario
You can not create the Subcontracting PO as this is not your external vendor.
Does this involves excise?
Then the PR/PO ctreated should be of combination of STO and subcontracting. If so this is not possible, as item category is the only field in PR/PO that identifies it as STO and subcontracting. obiviously it cann't have 2 values.
My suggesion on this as...
Create a BOM for painted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant(paining plant). this will have STO cretaed for paining plant. This will inturn cretae a production order in painitng plant.
The BOM in painting plant will have the unpainted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant ( fabricated plant) this will have STO created for unpainted components.
I hope I am clear & not confused you much.

Changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code

Hi,
Due to my client requirement, in the middle of the year, we need to change the controlling area from being same as company code to cross company code controlling area. Although the currency is same. We are going to create a new company code. Is the changing controlling area settings possible to do? what are the precautions and changes need to be taken?
One more question, we need to change the company code when the new company code is created in the system in Cost Center Masters in the middle of the year. Is this possible after changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code. Right now company code is not appearing in the cost center master.
Thanks & Regards,
Saidarao

Hi,
If both companies having transaction data its not possible,Normally before defining Organisational Strucutre only we have to deside both companies is assigning same controlling are or have to maitain separately for this we have to compare the Fiscal year,Operating chart of accounts ,if both having same then we will assign both the company codes to one controlling area if these two companies having different currencies also its not a problem.When we creating Controlling Area we have to choose option of controlling area as same company code (if one company code one controlling Area) for example if you assigning two companies then we have to use cross company code cost accounting.If u need any further information let me know.

Issue with Cross-Company code transactions and Extended Withholding tax

Hi Gurus,
I am having an issue with Cross-company code transaction while posting expense with 2 different company codes.
In the 2 company codes, one company code is setup for Withholding tax and other was not set.
While posting in FB50, I am getting the below message and system does not allow to post the invoice.
Company codes have different settings for withholding tax treatment
Message no. F5786
Diagnosis
You are entering a document containing at least one vendor or customer item and which has line items in several company codes. The extended withholding tax treatment has been set to active in one of these company codes, but not in one of the other company codes.
System Response
You cannot enter this kind of document.
Procedure
Enter the transaction in two documents.
For this I tried to test the transaction by activating of extended Withholding tax for both the company codes. Then the invoice is posting correctly now.
The point is if I activate extended withholding tax for the Company code which is not using the setup, will it face any issues in other areas? and also kindly advice whether is this a right way to set up to fix the current problem.
Thanks for the Support and early response will be appreciated.
JBC.

Hi Mamta,
Thanks for the Response. I think you misunderstood my scenario.
For Eg in FB60 with Co code 5065:
I am debiting the Expenses for Co Code 1000(Witholding tax not active) and crediting the Bank Account of Co Code 5065(Withholding tax setup is done for this co code). When I tried to post with these line items I have getting the error.
Posting        GL                   Co Code
Dr          106520(Exp)            1000
Cr          202020(Bank)           5065
For this I tried by activating the Withholding tax for Co code 1000 which is not active before and post it. The system allows me to post the invoice.
I want to know whether is this a right way to solve this issue and will it impact on any other areas by only activating the Withholding tax for a Co code?
Thanks,
Bapu

Thanks for the reply.
I'd never noticed that "Copy motion as ActionScript 3.0". That was pretty sharp. The only catch is...it doesn't look anything like what I'm used to.
This is what I'm used to:
myTween = new Tween(imageLoader,"alpha", Strong.easeOut, imageLoader.alpha, 1, 4, true);
And this is what I've got:
import fl.motion.Animator;
var tween_xml:XML = <Motion duration="36" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">
    <source>
        <Source frameRate="12" x="212.5" y="141" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" rotation="0" elementType="graphic" symbolName="Tween 1">
            <dimensions>
                <geom:Rectangle left="-212.5" top="-141" width="425" height="282"/>
            </dimensions>
            <transformationPoint>
                <geom:Point x="0.5" y="0.5"/>
            </transformationPoint>
        </Source>
    </source>
    <Keyframe index="0" tweenSnap="true" tweenSync="true">
        <color>
            <Color alphaMultiplier="0"/>
        </color>
        <tweens>
            <SimpleEase ease="0"/>
        </tweens>
    </Keyframe>
    <Keyframe index="35">
        <color>
            <Color/>
        </color>
    </Keyframe>
</Motion>;
var tween_animator:Animator = new Animator(tween_xml, tween);
tween_animator.play();
I guess I sort assumed that the code would be similiar, (making an '***' out of me and umption) It looks more like XML or MXML than AS3.
Why so different?

Hungary VAT report in HUF - company code currency is EUR

Hi,
We have the below requirement from our client.
Company is incorporated in Switzerland and is having a plant in Hungary.
We have decided to have 2 company codes one with country key as CH(switzerland) and the other with country key as HU (Hungary).
The client wants to have the currency for the Hungary company code as EUR (Company code currency)
Requirement: VAT report generation in currency HUF for the Hungarian company code. While accounting should consider the European bank rates for converting foreign currency Invoices into EUR, the VAT report should consider the Hungarian Bank Rates for converting all Invoices into HUF. This conversion should be on daily rates for all the invoices.
There is an option to activate report generation in an Alternative currency (RFASLD15). However, the translation is made on a fixed translation date to be given in the report selection criteria.
Any suggestions to meet the requirement would be of great help to us.
Many Thanks
Hema

Hema,
Please activate hard currency(Local currency 3) as HUF, so that you can have transaction amounts in HUF also eventhough your company code currency is EUR.
Please check F.12 report for your VAT requirement.
Here you have to capture BSEG-DMBE3 value as per your requirement.

Credit Management Company Code Level

Dear Experts
Is it possible to set credit limit for customer at company code level?
eg. The same customer is maintained for diffrent company codes & one credit control area for all these company codes. Now the business wants to set up credit limit for the customer at one particular company code inspite an overall credit limit is assigned to this customer.
Is this can be possible in FD32 central data?
Please advise
Regards
Deepu Pillai

Thanks for your reply
But i could not find any way to maintain the credit limit at company code level.
For eg. If customer A is maintained in two company codes say 1000 & 2000. The credit control area is 1000 for both company codes.
Then in FD32 i can find only customer & credit control area & no company code.
My requirement is i want to maintain credit limit for A specifically for company code.
Please advise.
If any user exit to solve this, please let me know

Data upload based on company code

Hi all
There are three company codes maintained in source system under one client.
They want to schedule the BW data upload company codewise at different time of the day. e.g for company code one at 2am , for company code two at 11am and for third company 5pm.
Kindly advice whether this can be done in bw.
Thanks
RK

Hi,
interesting that you get the same answer twice just with different words after quite a while. But anyway. Basically this is correct but it applies only for full or initial loads. In case you are dealing with deltas you cannot use that approach, because all initializations will be put together into only one delta request and your requirement cannot be fulfilled.

1 Profit Center to Many Company Codes

Hi,
Currently we have 1 Company Code pointing to multiple Profit Centers.
We are trying to re-organize the structure to have 1 Profit Center pointing to multiple company codes.
Need input to analyze what areas or processes (standard) would be affected.
Thanks

Hi Shelina
Profit center accounting is always above the company code level.
Hence in Standard SAP you can assign a Profit center to multiple company codes.
Use KE56 to assign the profit centers to multiple company codes.
There would no process which would be affected. Only you have to assign cost centers to these profit centers since cost centers are within the company codes.

Running JVA & Non-JVA Company Codes with a single Controlling Area

Hello,
I am currently working on a consolidation project. Our scenarios will involve activating JVA in some company codes while it is not activated in some other company codes. We intend to maintain a single controlling area in CO for all these company codes i.e. JVA and Non-JVA company codes have a common controlling area.
I would like hear from gurus that have implemented or a are supporting a scenario in which JVA and Non-JVA company codes share a common controlling area. I'd like to know if the technical and/or operational challenges of this scenarios, if there are any issues to keep in mind and possible work-arounds.
Any help in this regard would be appreaciated.
Thanks.
Oluwafemi.

Hello,
From FI/CO/JVA perspective there should not be any issues, even if two company codes one JVA active and other non JVA active are there in the same controlling area.(I have been part of the implementation where both JVA and non JVA company codes resides in the same controlling area)
Its important to ask from consolidation purpose are you going to use any of the JVA table. If yes then you have to be careful because non JVA active company code information will not be stored in the JVA table.
It would be gr8, if you can share some of the apprehension from consolidation perspective, so that we can elaborate on the issues.
Thanks & Regards

Change of company code for equipment

hi! PM gurus,
Can anyone tell me how to change co cd of an equipment?
and also how to dismantle the equipment?
helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks.

Hi Vaibhav......
It is possible to change the Company Code of an equipment, but there are some basic needs to be fulfilled for that.........
> Both the Company Codes (one in which Equipment exists & the one in which you want the equipment to be transferred) should fall under same Controlling Areas & Chart of Accounts.
As far as dismantle of equipment is concerned, you have two options:
> Go to Equipment Master - Structure Tab - Function Location - Click on Icon on right side, select dismantle.......in this equipment is dismantled & can be instaaled at other Function Location.
> but if you have to dismantle & equipment & put it in to the storage, go for Tcode - IE4n
Hope, this will help you.........

Company currency does not differ from company code currency

Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie in SAP FI. Forgive me if this is a rpet pos. I could not find an answer using search.
Here is my problem:
I defined a compay with currecny as USD. I defned two company codes one with currency USD and the other
with currency INR.
I assigned compay code 1 (with USD as currency) to cmpany successfully.
However, when I tr t assign the secnd company ( wih INR currency)it gives me the following error:
"Company currency does not differ from company code currency".
How do I solv this problem.
Thaks,
Cheruvu

hi
when you defined your company currency as USD and Company code currency is also USD therefore it is not shown any warning but second company code currency taken as INR system expressing warning since company currency and company code currency differs as company stands for group for consolidation point of view
therefore it is only warning not error you can just enter and further configure nothing will be adverse

Error - No amount authorization for customers/vendors in company code

Hi All,
I'm new to SAP MM. This question has been posted many times but the suggested solutions are not working for me.
Whatever i'm doing related to amounts (either while invoicing through FB60 or while creating down payment request through F-47), I'm getting error "No amount authorization for customers/vendors in company code".
I have already tried following solutions -
1.) Created tolerance groups and assigned to company code via tcode OBA3
2.) Gone to SPRO and assigned 2 tolerance groups to company code (one blank and one created above in Step-1)
3.) Assigned user-id (as in SAP system) to the respective tolerance group.
Still I'm getting below error.
Any inputs on this issue are welcome.

I dont really know why you mentioned that you are new to MM, as this is related to FI.
the error message has number F5 155, the F in the beginning or hte error message number already mentions that it belongs to FInance
If you use SE91 and lookup the where-used list for this number then SAP will show you a few programs, in the detail you can see that SAP checks table T043T
if you then use SM30, enter T043T and click customizing, then SAP takes you to the customizing knot to maintain this table.
which is: IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Document > Line Item >
....Define Tolerance Groups for Employees
....Assign User/Tolerance Groups
