Creating Controlling areas

Hi Guys,
I am a BW consultant, but i just bought a book in FI/CO and i wanted to create an Enterprise structure[ES] on our R/3 system at work. I was wondering if it is safe to do this without it affecting other applications that might be running at the moment. Please advise

If you create it and don't assign it to production objects you will be fine. If you assign it to productive objects you will have DEV out of sync with production and could be an issue if it gets transported in error to support a production issue. You are better off to use a sand box for testing.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

Vish

Hi,
Go to Tcode OKKP,
New entries,
Input controlling area for ex "OO11", click on the CO Area = CCode (If you are using only one controlling area for one company code)
Input your company code in the pop-up
(Note that the selection of this option has brought in a large number of Company default values to the input screen.)
Under assignment control select: Controlling area same as company code
Enter standard hierarchy for example "OSTD", pop-up will come enter yes and save.
Go to activate components/control indicators, on right side window
New entries,here give the fiscal year and under active components activate all the components and check mark cost object, sales order which ever is required.
And save.
Now go to Assignment of company code,
New entries input your company code and save.

Assigning plant to controlling area

Dear Gurus,
Got this error message while doing Individual Purchase Order.
" Your Plant is not assigned to controlling area"
Here I have created controlling area and assigned to the company code but could not find where i have to assign it to a Plant?
Hope Gurus can solve this for me.
Regards

Hi Venkat
I think it is referring to Purchasing Organization. Check in <b>OX17</b> whether you have created and assigned your Purchasing Organization to Plant. If not, assign it and try once again.
Thanks

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.

pl explain.

Hi,
Controlling Area to Company Code relationship can be 1:n i.e. you can assign multiple company codes to a single controlling area.
COCd --> Controlling Area settings dictates following:
1) If you select Controlling Area = Company Code, you can have only 1:1 relationship between controllign area and company code i.e. you cannot assign multiple company code with this controllign area.
2) If it is cross company code, then you can have 1:n relationship between controlling area and company code. I would recommend this setting as it allows flexibility to assing another company code to the same controlling area in future, if required.
Hope this helps. Pls award points if this is useful.

ASSINING COMPANY CODE TO CONTROLLING AREA

hi,
iam trying to assign the company code to the controlling area but there is field <b>C Ctr Hierarchy</b> which i need to fill up, how can i do that one before i assign company code to controlling area

when you are creating a Controlling Area Cost Centre Standard Hierarchy is mandatory to can as well give the Std. Hier. while creating Controlling area itself and save it. The System will remind you that the said hierarchy is not maintained and should it be maintained now?
Click Yes, and save again.
the controlling area and std hierarchy get created simultaniously.

Controlling area does not exist in assignment ?

Hi,
I've created & assinged controlling area to the company code , But then When I used PPOME to create org unit and assign the Controlling area , It did not exist in the list ? How can i configure this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Check in V_TKA01_GD table (assign company code to controlling area) whether controlling area is assigned to company code properly or not. If it is assigned properly then in PPOME Tcode in Account Assignment tab once you enter your company code Controlling area will be selected automatically.
If controlling area is not assigned to company code properly then you will not able to see that in PPOME. In this case you can take help from FI consultant as they only create Controlling area and assign it to company code.

Maintain controlling area

Hi Guys,
When i am trying to maintain the controlling area I am getting the following error. I am trying to use the copy function when trying to create the controlling area and it is giving the following message
"You can only copy or replace object area in structure mode"
How can we create the controlling area.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Hi All,
I am also getting the same error, mentioned below.
You can only copy or replace object Controlling area in structure mode
Message no. CZ448
Diagnosis
You can only copy or replace the organizational object Controlling area in structure mode, because multiple object dependencies need to be considered.
System Response
The action cannot be carried out in single mode.
Procedure
Copy or replace the org. object in structure mode. Choose "Structure" and select a suitable enterprise structure from "Templates" or enter your own choice in "Navigation".
I tried to create controlling area many times with same procedure but system always shows same error which i had mentioned above.
Chart of accounts & fiscal year variant are same of both controlling area 0001 & company code 0001. Also company code 0001 is assigned to controlling area 0001.
Still i am getting this error every time when i create controlling area.
Steps which i am following while creating controlling area are - Enterprise Structure - Definition - Controlling - Maintain Controlling Area. In last step i am creating controlling area in activity "Copy, Delete, Check Controlling Area".
Please advice solution for the same.
Earliest reply would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Problem in Controlling Area created with 3 characters long

Hi:
I have a "small" problem, perhaps you could help me.
We have created a new Controlling Area, but it is created only with 3 characters, instead of four. We have been working with no problem until me have to create a Purchase Order with some profiles. They cannot create any PO. If we go to SU53 transaction we got the message in object K_PCA. There is a blank in string Responsibility Area, and the system cannot recognize that. This string concatenate CO Area code (and a blank) and Profit Center, but keeps a blank between them.
Do you know how to solve it? We cannot delete CO Area because we have many data created in it.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hi:
I have to try it, but it does not work. In SU53 I have this message:
The following authorization object was checked:
=================
Objeto K_PCA      EC-PCA: Responsibility Area, Profit Centrer
Área de responsabilidad CO-OM
           PCGLAB0101
Available authorizations for the object in the master record:
Object   K_PCA      EC-PCA: Responsibility Area, Profit Center
Área de responsabilidad CO-OM
          PCGLA B0101
============
There is a blank PCGLA B0101, and not in PCGLAB0101.
I need to delete it in master record or add it in authorization object.
Does anybody how I can change it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Customer created in multiple credit control areas.

Dear friends,
In our current system, whenever a business partner is created, the business partner is being created in all the credit control areas that are permitted for that company code, despithe business partner having only one credit control area assigned in the sales view of his business partner data.
How can I control so that a business partner is only created against one of the allowable credit control areas?
Henry

Hi henry,
You can mantain overall credit limit for customer created in all CCA's.
Goto FD32, select CCA and central data, you can mainatin overall credit limit for all credit control areas (CCA) and current CCA credit limit.

IDOC / Bapi to create a Controlling Area

Hi all,
I'm searching for an IDOC or a Bapi to be called to distribute controlling areas records between CO system and HR system.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Roberto.

Hi,
You are not very clear on what you are looking for. If you have set the configuration as such then the BP is automatically created when the customer is created. The complete BP set up and configuration can be found in
Note 956054 - BP_CVI Customer-vendor integration as of ERP2005 (ECC600)
If your customers have already been set up then you can create Business Partners by using the synchronization cockpit
For more information on using the Synchronization Cockpit, see the SAP Library under SAP ERP Central Component -> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Synchronization Cockpit
You can only create BP's here by range or individually. There is the T-Code FLBPD1 to create BP manually.
Do a trial run first on your test system and see what BP are showing errors (Check this in MDS_PPO2)
Further you could use an LSMW but bear in mind that you will not have the link between the BP and the Customer. This needs to be established separately. SAP has a program for that to create the customer link. (I recommend to do everything as automated as possible)
Hope this helps
Regards,
Richard
