Creation of a new controlling area

I'm trying to create a new controlling area (trans. OKKP).
In folder "activate components/control indicators", I wanted to activate Profitability Analysis but the field was in grey and was not possible to change from "component not active" to one of the other activation possibilities.
I need to know what to do to change this field.
The client is working with COPA and this set-up was done before to assign the controlling area to the FI company.
The SAP version is 4.7

Dear.
You can activate that through tcd KEKE.
You know, Before that, Operating concern must be maintained.

Is new Controlling Area reqd if New Comp Code is opened with diff Currency

Hi
Is it required to open a new Controlling Area if we are going to open a Company Code in a different country which has a different currency than the Controlling Area currency ? If we keep the same Controlling Area, will we be able to do budget tracking through internal orders ?
regards
Parag Bhargava

Dear Mr. Srikanth
We have tried that option, but we want the display in the screen of S_ALR_87013019 itself, since it gives a summary of Budget, Actuals, Commitment and what is the available amount. The line items report KOB1 and KOB2 give the individual details of Actuals & Commitment items, but we are not able to see the "Available Amount" in a summarised manner

Impact of new Controlling Area

Hi All,
I would like to know what will be the impact of creating new Controlling Area in the existing landscape. Looking for impact / additional effort on FI / CO / SD and MM areas.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Organizational unit in an organization that represents a closed system used for cost accounting purposes. A controlling area may contain one or more company codes, which can operate in different currencies, if required. The company codes within a controlling area must all use the same operational chart of accounts.
All internal allocation transactions refer only to objects from the same controlling area.

Customers extended to more than one Credit Control Area ?

Hello ,
Please advice ,SAP Customers (payers ) can be extended to more than one Credit Control Area ?
Yes or No ?
Pros & Cons ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
You can map one customer to two different credit control areas:
However you need to understand the following points:
1.Delinking of company code to existing credit area (FI)
2.Allow at compnay code more than one control and allow overwriting also(FI)
3.Allow the existing risk categories to work in new control Area (FI)
4.Change layout of customer master (if credit control area is not activated in sales area-Billing Tab)
5.Creation of Validations in FI that No entry to customer ledger shall pass without assignment to control area.
The Process of having multiple control area under one compnay code though not advisable however if business requires this you need to configure.
Pros:
1. Single customer code
2.Credit control division wise
3.AR can be taken division wise
Cons:
1.Master data maintenance would increse
2.user need to put credit area in all transactions specially-Credit & debot Notes (FB70) and advance payments.
If You require any other help pls revert.

De activation of Controlling Area

Hi,
We have got a situation that we need to de activate the existing controlling area and create a new controlling area as per the mutual agreement between our co & the client.
and we have got 1:1 ratio between controlling area & company code
Now the system will not allow me to delete the company code assignment from the controlling area as the master data exists for this particular company code.
how do i proceed with this kind of situation.
My concerns are
1. How do I assign the company code to a new controlling area which has already been assigned to a particular controlling area.
2. Now if i go with the new controlling area which i have created then how does the system respond to the old open item data which has been entered for old cost centres,profit centres.
What will happen when i start clearing this transactions how does the system responsd to this kind of situations.
Kindly advise
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for your prompt response but I have 2 queries.
1. Will the system allow me delete the master datas when there is transaction data which exists in the masters for which we want to delete.
2. Secondly what will happen when i try to clear the open item which have been booked under a particular cost centre and profit centre which were assigned to my old controlling area and when i start clearing the old items with the new controlling area activate how does system respond to it.
Will it allow me to clear these transactions/allow processing of the old data which had been fed in the old controlling area.
Plz help me out in this.
Regards
Sunil

How could i Integrate (merge) 2 different Controlling areas into one?

Hello gurus,
The client i am working for had defined, from the beggining (during SAP Implementation), one Controlling area for the entire company.
This definition was correctly done, as a way to centralize every operation and transaccion made.
After some years, this company merge with another one, that had the same implemented controlling model, but asociated to another Controlling area.
The problem is that we need to integrate both Controlling areas into one, in other words, every operation saved or transaction made linked to the new Controlling area (the one of the second company), must be converted to the code of the original one.
Is there an std. way to erase the second Controlling area and asociate all its records (saved in every table) to the orignal one, as if they were one from the very beggining?
Thanks very much!.
Pablo.-

Hi Daniela, thanks to you too.
If you or anybody have some specific documentation about 'SLO -- SAP Organizational Structure Changes -- Controlling area Merge' to send me while i continue looking, i will be pleased.
Thanks a lot anyway!

Multiple Controlling Areas

I have a client with multiple controlling areas in ECC 4.6c. We are preparing them to upgrade to ECC 6.0 then migrate to the new G/L. The questions is: When is it "easier" to convert to a single controlling area, before or after the ECC 6.0 Upgrade? Before or as part of the New G/L Migration?
They may not upgrade until very late this year or early next year. They want to improve consolidated reporting as quickly as possible but are wary of the amount of time needed to eliminate the multiple controlling areas.

Have you thought about re-implementing???
Migrating Company Codes from different controlling areas can be a complicated process. You may need to create new Company Codes and link them all to the new controlling area.
This will be a massive job - even if you dont want history.
Think of the master data - Customers, Vendors, Assets, Materials etc.
If you are to do anything you should get your rg Structure defined - i.e. one Controlling Area and then go for the new gl document splitting program.
The two pieces of work are Fiscal Year dependant, the next FY you would need to move to a single Controlling Area, and then the following move to document splitting.
You could do the Controlling Area and Upgrade (re-implementation) in one project and then do the document splitting the next Fiscal Year.
Either way - good luck, sounds like you are going to be very busy !!!

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.

Controlling Area in CO reports (GRR1)

Hello
We have customized a new Controlling Area, but unfortunately the existing (self-defined) CO reports doesn't work - even though they work in the 'old' Controlling Area.
We have changed the Controlling Area in 'Generel data selection'. Do we have to change it anywhere else? Is the library or report groups assigned to a specific Controlling Area?
Best regards
Søren Kirch

HI,
please check your reports again , maybe CO-Area selection variable is not used in general data selection but (in other reports) in column definition. Use SAP standard selection variables in report painter. If the sel-variables are own defined, check the variable definition.
Best regards, Christian

Error message when maintaining number range for controlling area

Restricting Authorisations for different controlling areas

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am facing a problem in restricting authorisations for CO Transactions in different controlling ares. We have a new controlling area started recently. But the CO user in this new controlling area is able to create master data in a differnt controlling area (i.e. the old existing controlling area). we have already maintained the new controlling area as org. unit for the relevant company code.
Giving below an example.
For t.code KAH1 & KAH2, we have maintained authorization object K_CCA for New Cont Area with Cost Center group X (Where X is standard hierarchy). Even after that user is able to make changes in KAH2 for another controlling area. We also tried to put value of profit centers instead of "*". This too is not helping.
Similarly the user is able to create master data in Tr. Codes KO01 / 02, KE51 / 52, KCH2 etc where this user in new controlling area is able to create / change master data from exising old controlling area.
Can anyone help me please ?
Thanks.

Dear Prasad,
Create a new Role using T Code PFCG and assign the new controlling area and the other relevant
details and you can assign it to the users.
I think in your case that particular user is assigned many roles where he has got * value and its allowing
to make changes on some other controlling area.
