Cross Company Code Charging Against WBS

I am trying to understand if Company Code A can charge against a WBS that was created by Company Code B. In the scenario I am working with, we have a single controlling area with multiple company codes. The people reside in Company Code A. Production execution is carried out in Compmany Code B. Can the human resources which reside in Company Code A charge against a WBS created in Company Code B?

Hi,
You can charge Company Code B for the services rendered.
You have to configure DIP profile for that. In DIP profile you define the range of the cost elements to considered and can group them under a billing line item. For example
Cost element range 5000001 to 500008 can be named as Consulting Costing.
And you can raise Billing request from the WBS itself. When you that, in Billing Doc, line item will appear as Consulting Costing = 30. In Billing request you can mention all condition types along with profit margin.
Thanks

Settlement of WBS/Project Profile (Cross Company Code)

Hello All,
At my current client, we are having 45 company codes assigned to one controlling area.My question is around setting of Project Profile/Settlement Profile. How do I manage project profiles?
Also If I am managing few project profiles allowing cross company code settlement, what are the pros and cons of doing this? What are the bare minimums for this with respect to configuration
Thanks
Shiv

projects are cross company codes but must be wuithin oine controlling area - so you are ok
the settlement will be from an object either WBS or network activity
the settlement will happen in the company code that is assigned to either the WBS or network activity
regards project profile create as less as possible - if the only difference is the company code then use templates for different companies, or make company code mandatory forcing the user to enter on creation - this will limit the number of project profiles

How to configure Funds Transfers, Cross Company Code Vendor Payments, Bill

Hi All,
Can any one help me, How to configure Funds Transfers, Cross Company Code Vendor Payments, Bill of Exchnage Payments with Automatic Payment Program?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
This is what you need to do to configure Cross Company Code Vendor Payments.
Execute transaction code OBYA, when prompted, type in 1st coy code, say A and then 2nd coy code, say B. This would take you to the "Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Posting - Clearing Accounts" screen.
In the first frame, where you have
Posted in : A
Cleared Against : B
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
In the second Frame
Posted in : B
Cleared Against : A
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
So, if you are using the Customer/Vendor approach, company A must be set up as both a Customer(Use Txn Code XD01) and a Vendor(USe Txn Code XK01) in Company B and vice versa.
Once you have completed this set-up, you can then use transaction F.13 and/or F13E to carry out your automatic clearing. Alternatively, whenever Payment Run is executed via transaction code F110, this would automatically clear out the payables and receivables in each company code.
However, if you intend to use the G/L approach, then the account numbers would be Inter-coy G/L account for each coy code as defined in the chart of accounts.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Automatically clear the open items for a GL account cross company codes

Hi FICO experts,
Can anyone help me on the following issue urgently?
There are journal entries posted to same GL account with different company code. Is there any way to automatically clear the open items sitting in the GL account in company code A to against the open items for the same GL account in company code B.
The example is below:
Journal in company code A
Dr. 840410      $100
Cr. 111300       $100
Journal in company code B
Dr. 111301   $100
Cr. 840410      $100
Now I want to automatically clear account 840410 by using assignment or text in the journal entry.
It will be highly appreciated for any instructions.
Adele

Hello Adele Wang,
You can enter cross-company code transactions in one step in the General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable application components. This function would be used, for example, for centralized procurement or payment.
Integration:For centralized payments, each individual company code enters its own invoices separately, while a central company code pays them. When you are clearing open items, the system makes clearing entries between the company codes participating in the clearing procedure. These clearing entries represent the receivables and payables that exist between the company codes in centralized payment.
Prerequisites:You have specified which company codes are to be processed via a single company code. In this specification, you can distinguish between clearing transactions. You can therefore have different combinations of company codes for incoming and outgoing payments.
You have specified the clearing accounts that record the receivables and payables between the individual company codes. The system posts to these accounts automatically when clearing the open items.
You need to make the required settings in the activity Prepare Cross-Company Code Manual Payments in Customizing for Financial Accounting (Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable->Business Transactions->Outgoing Payments->Manual Outgoing Payments).
Features:For each company code, the system generates a separate clearing document. A joint transaction number marks these documents as belonging together.
Example:For a clearing transaction (incoming payment, outgoing payment), you have agreed in Customizing that if company code 0001 is specified, open items are also selected from other company codes (0002 and 0003).
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

Clearing can then also be carried out if the account to be cleared has not been created in company code 0001. As long as no items have to be posted to this account in company code 0001, it is not necessary to create a master record for the account in company code 0001.

Cross company code downpayment posting error

Hi,
When I am posting cross company code downpayment in F-48 getting below error.
"Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled".
Vendor A/c (Company A)
Bank clearing A/c(Company B) - Profit center 25000
Problem it is not deriving the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c. I have used document type KZ, check boxes "intercompany postings" and "trading partner" are activated in this document type.
Default profit center has made for Bank clearing A/c and Cross company code clearing A/c. Assigned Profit center 25000 for Company A also.
Kindly advice where I am wrong, which is the correct document type to post the Cross company code transactions (Down payment:F-48, charging-off GL open item to Vendor) to derive the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c? Or
How can I configure in New GL that the profit center should get derived from the Cross company code clearing A/c for above cross company code transactions?
Best regards
Shanid

Hi Atif,
Thanks again for your reply.
Since we have made Profit center as mandatory in New GL charactristcs this will give the priority to enter the Profit center as
Mandatory. As I mentioned earlier we required profit center in all lines.
I have tried whatever you have said, still it is not working.
It will be great if you give a solution for this.

While doing cross company code postings I get an error

Hi experts,
I have an issue on cross company code postings through FB60. There is a vendor account which has been extended to both company codes. The amount of invoice is Rs.10000 of which 6000 to be accounted in company code 1000 and 4000 in company code 5000. When this is done we get an error 'A unique company code has not been assigned to company number A001'.
After trying several options, I have found one solution. In the test system I Went to classify FI document types for document splitting, against document type KR transaction 0300 (Vendor invoice) was there. I changed to 0000 (unspecified posting). Once this was done, I was able to post cross company transactions without any problem.
I would like to know as to what would be the impact? Would this change create any other issue?
I request you to give your expert opinion on this.

Ramkumar B.

Dear,
When you are posting vendor Invoice through FB60 then system creates accounting document "KR" and when document splitting is activated in system the you have to assign Doc type KR to Transaction 0300 and 0001.
This is standard requirement. There will not be any changes by doing this.
Hope it is clear..

Cross-company code postings - FI validation

Hi,
We start using the cross-company code postings (transaction OBYA) between company code A and company code B and have to give authorizations both company codes to the Finance users. The idea is to have a set of G/L accounts which are allowed to be used when company code A and B are posted via cross-company code posting.
SAP recommends to implement a validation in FI to restrict the Intercompany scenatios. I attempted to create a FI validation for complete document (call-point 3) with no success:
1)
IC Rule: BSEG-BUKRS = A and BSEG-BUKRS = B and BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC rule
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
When I test it, the Intercompany clearing account configured in OBYA, and which is in ACCOUNTSET, shows up in the error message, which unwanted.
2)
IC Rule 1: BKPF-BUKRS = '0017' AND BKPF-BUKRS = '0005'
IC Rule 2: BSEG-HKONT IN ACCOUNTSET
Prerequisite: TRUE
Check: IC Rule 1 --> IC Rule 2
Message: E- Account & not allowed for cross-company postings
No error message is issued at all, even if the G/L account is not in ACCOUNTSET.
Please advise what I am missing.

Hi Nitin,
Thank you for your feeback.
I just wanted to clarify that the cross-company code posting is when company code A can intitiate a posting to company code B simultaneously (for example Intercompany re-charge, cash concentration, etc.). The trigger for cross-company code posting is the company code field on the line item. If company code A is in the header (BKPF-BUKRS) and at least one document line item filled up as company code B, the system created two documents for each company code, offsetting the Intercompany clearing account, configured in OBYA.
For example:
Posting via FB50: Leading company code = company code A (BKPF-BUKRS)
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200; Company code A (as a default)
Item 2: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100; Company code B (manually changed)
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300; Company code A (as a default)
The systen creates two postings:
Posting 1: company code A
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 1; Amount 200;
Item 2: Credit; G/L account 2;                        Amount 300;
Item 2: Debit ; I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
Posting 2: company code B
Item 1: Debit; G/L account 1; Cost Center 2; Amount 100;
Item 2: Credit;I/C Clearing Account;              Amount 100;
The only connection between the two is the cross-company code number (BKPF-BVORG), which assigned by the system once posted, as a logical connection.
I guess we could use a dedicated document type. If that's the case, how would the validation work then?
Coudl you please share more details on the BTE option?
Thank you,
Inna

Cross Company Code Incoming Payment Clearing

Dear All
Good day to you.
I would be grateful if I could get advice on the following:
Process:
Company Code A is receiving Payment from Customer Z of Company Code B
Present SAP Treatment
F-02 Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited.
F-32 Customer Z's Invoice of Company Code B cleared against the Payment received by Company Code A.
Hence this has become a two step process.
Ideal solution needed
In F-28 or similar other transaction
Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited and clearing also carried out then and there?
To achieve the ideal solution above what are the configurations (if any) needed.
Thanking you in advance.

Hello,
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
The system will post three document.
Document 1 in First Company Code
Document 2 in Second Company Code
and
Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
Please let me know in case if you need further details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Restrict cross CO area postings and allow cross company code postings

" There are two Controlling areas CA01 and CA02, for the controlling area CA02 the field CO code validation is inactive to allow cross company code postings ie., (Cost center created in one company code can be used as cost object in other company code ) Also this allows any WBS element created in controlling area CA01 as cost object in any of the company codes assigned in controlling area CA02,
Due to usage of WBS element which is created in CA01 controlling area as cost object in company code belongs to controlling area CA02, business is facing problem while doing the settlement run with error message " Document data for list of origins does not exist"
So, I have activated the field Co code validation in the controlling area CA02, which stopped the usage of WBS element between controlling areas. Also this had restricted usage of cost object between company codes with in controlling area CA02.
Now is there anyway to allow cost object usage between company codes assigned in one controlling area (CA02) and restrict usage of WBS element created in controlling area CA01 in any company code assigned in controlling area CA02.

Hi,
As you have already activated the Co Code validation you cant restrict that only to WBS. But you can have another option
Use the validation process to restrict these errors
This may help

Specific business transactions with trading partners
Several business transactions that occur frequently in the various operative applications - as
relating to their trading partner assignments -- are described more closely:
FI/Financial Accounting
- Customer or vendor invoice: The trading partner is copied from the customer or vendor
master record and is duplicated in the offsetting entries. Only one trading partner may
occur in the document.
- Invoice receipt against clearing account and transfers with clearing: If you do not post an
incoming invoice directly to an expense account, but instead against a clearing account,
the selection of open items must be restricted to those of a certain trading partner when
posting the transfer later on; the same trading partner is automatically copied onto the
transfer line item.
- Customer or vendor payment: You can configure the document type for payments to
allow for more than one trading partner in a payment document. Then, the trading
partner is copied only into the customer or vendor line items.
- Down payments and down payment clearings are always customer- or vendor-related
and are, therefore, handled like the invoices described above.
AA/Asset Accounting
- Asset transfers between company codes: If a fixed asset is transferred to another
company code, two posting documents are required - one for each company code. The
trading partner of each document must be set with the company ID of the other company
code, respectively.
MM/Materials Management
- When receiving goods from an affiliated vendor, the trading partner is taken from the
vendor mentioned on the order for the inventory entry and the goods/invoice receipt. If
invoices are still open on the balance sheet key date, group-internal provisions are
created from the clearing account for goods/invoice receipts. These provisions can later
be eliminated in the Consolidation system using the trading partner assignment.
- Order-related invoice receipts also derive the trading partner from the vendor on the
order and duplicate it into the offsetting entries.
- Material transactions across company codes automatically derive the trading partner
from the company code assignments.
CO/Cost Accounting
- Cross-company code CO settlements are transferred periodically using adjusting entries
to Financial Accounting via the reconciliation ledger. The trading partner is derived from
the company code, which, in turn, comes from the respective CO posting object being
addressed. These are always dual settlements, whereby the trading partner can always
be uniquely identified.

Cross-company-code billing (Thid party) in FI

Hi,
We have configured SD part for Cross-company-code billing (third party). This process is about delivering products to the customer from one company (company code A) and billing customer from another company (company code B) with intercompany invoice from delivering company to Invoicing company.
Could you help me with FI GL accounting postings that should occur in the process?
We have tested it so far and I think that there are some postings missing. Currently GL potings for this process are:
Delivery from company code A to customer:                 STOCK: Ct, COGS: Dt
Customer invoice from company code B to customer:   Revenue: Ct, Customer: Dt, VAT: Dt
Intercompany postings: in company code A:                 IC Revenue: Ct, Cusomer (comp. code B) Dt
I think there is a document missing in Intercompny on Company code B site. I suppose it should be:
IC expenses Dt, Vendor (comp code A): Ct.
Am I right and if yes - how can I configure this automated postning during IC invoicing on IC vendor site?
Thank you,
Karol

Dear Neil,
There is a concept in FI to maitain "Automatic Posting Clearing Accounts between Company codes". (Check transaction BUV in TCode OBYA)
After you observe the TCode, you can understand the following draft.
-- One Posting transaction (for example with posting key 86 "GR/IR Debit") is posted against a cost object. Based on the configuration mentioned above, automatically the same transaction will be posted as (96 "GER/IR Credit") in the partner company code against the cost object.
-- The Same GL account acts as Credit GL for one Company code & as a Debit GL for the other, preferably.
Now, if the cost on your WBSE comes in the business process / development cycle test due to these features, & if you want to bill the customer based on these sources, then you need to configure the mentioned scenario with the help of your FI consultant first & can then check RRB process

Payment term is not being pickedup in cross company code transaction

Dear Friends,
In one of the cross company code transaction scenarios (MIRO), We post a invoice in HQ books to bill on outside vendor. In subsidiary books one more cross company code document will get generated automatically, as billing on HQ as a vendor. In that second document, payment term is not being pickedup.
eg., A is HQ and B is subsidiary company
I post invoice in A books as B account debit and outside vendor credit.
In B books one more entry will get generated automatically as GRIR account debit and A (defined as vendor in B books) account credit.
In B Books payment terms are maintained in vendor master record (A vendor).
But still the payment terms are not being pickedup in that document. Because of this, it is taking the document date itself as net due date.
Please suggest, how to proceed to pick some payment term in that document.
Regards
Suresh

Hi
Assign the payment terms in Purchase Organisation level in Vendor Master Record.

Message no. F5080. As a results, the document cannot be created by this way. This is the correct process.
But I have several documents that was used the doc type KE and the cross company code transaction was used. This is my issue. I don´t know why these documents were posted. The document come from another interface via IDOC and the IDOC not errored out.
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks

Cross company code Stock transfer - Special procurement Key

Hi,
Please clear my following doubts...
1. We have two company codes, Company code: A1 having a Plant: AP1, Company code B1- Pant BP1,
Finished goods sold from the plant AP1 are purchased from the plant BP1, so is there is any possibility to create a special procurement key having BP1 as the delivering plant and assign the key in AP1 materials.
2. Can i combine the two plants AP1 and BP1 for total online planning (MD01) by creating a scope of planning indicator? and run a single MRP run for both plants at a time...
Please clarify...
Thanks,
JK

JK,
I dont think Scope Planning is problem. You can create Scope of planning combining multiple plants, use transaction OM0E.
I doubt on Special procurement key option for STO across cross company codes, as the special setting needed in that case would be that Plant as to be created as Vendor / Customer. I would suggest to post this to MM forum for further response on this.

Transfer posting of tax in a cross company code transaction thru' RFBUST10

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding using the program RFBUST10 transferring the tax in a cross company transaction.
I have posted an invoice entry as below and I want to transfer the tax posting of 7.00 from company code 1 to company code 2 using the program RFBUST10.
Cr - 31 - 3rd party vendor - total amount of invoice co code 1 - 214.00
Dr - 40 - expense account - 100.00 co code 1 - C7 (Tax code at 7%)
Dr - 40 - expense account - 100.00 to co code 2 C7 (Tax code at 7%)
I have successfully posted and the tax amount of 7.00 is also transferred from company code 1 to company code2 but now I have 2 problems:
1) The program (RFBUST10) is permitting to transfer tax for the same cross- company code document multiple times. Please let me know how to track whether the cross company code document is already processed for transfer posting of tax.
2) In the transfer posting document as below ,the tax code in the first line item (clearing account) is defaulted to C0 , I would like to know from where this tax code defaults, I have not maintained the default tax code in the GL master.
Dr - 40 clearing Account 107 - C0 (tax code 0%)
Cr- 50 clearing account 100 - C7(tax code at 7%)
Cr - 50 Tax account 7 C7
Please let me know how to resolve these issues.
