Cross company code validation in CO Area

Dear All Experts,
I am having one query regarding cross company code validation in CO area. I have ticked Cross company code validation in controlling area, and it is working perfect.
we have total 11 company codes. 10 for US & 1 for Canada. Say 1001 to 1010 US company codes & Canda it is 1101.
The requirement is :-
Now client wants to post cross company code transaction within these 10 US company codes and it should not throw an error ( Ideally which is giving right now ). It should give error only when posting to US company code transaction and Canada Cost Center or Internal Order.
Can we restrict the company code for cross posting validation ? OR Can selected company codes set for validation indicator ?
Experts guidance will be great on this.
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

Dear,
Murali.
Thanks for your reply.
As you said :- Validation check applies for all the company codes which are assigned to your controlling area.
Means simply we can not apply this option to selective company codes, Right ?
Once it is ticked it is applicable to all company codes.

Sharvari Joshi.

Cross-company code functionality using Idoc type FIDCCP02

Hello,
I have a problem I need to use an IDoc to create incoming invoices from a legacy system, but there are 2 functionalities that need to exist.
1.- Extended withholding taxes.
2.- Cross-company code.
I have been using the basic type FIDCCP02, because it was easy to use extended withholding taxes.
But now the functional team requested us to implement the functionality Cross-company code.
I did some test using ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT03, where just specifying 2 different company codes at item level, SAP will create 2 different invoices one for each company code) ,
The problem here is that I need both functionality, but only use 1 Idoc type. Do you know how can I solve this problem??

Imelda ,
I am also trying to use FIDCCP02 Idoc for Cross-Company code functionality , and we are not able to do it ..
I saw this message in SDN posted by you last year but it was not answered , hence was wondering if you were at some point of time able to get any answer on this one OR did you find any solution by yourself on this issue.
I would also like to use Cross-company code functionality using FIDCCP02 , so please let me know if you have anything on this one .
Would appreciate your reply .
Thanks,

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

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

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.

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.

Shammi

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.

Prasobh

CO-PA issue in Thirds Party Sales & Cross Company Code Sales

Hi,
In Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification and Cross Company Sales the CO-PA report is not reflecting the correct material cost. CO-PA is updating the material cost directly from the Material Master. Cross Company sales condition type PI02 & IV02 is using for pricing. IV02 is working perfect, but PI02 is not !
In detail, for Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification, no material is available in the stock. In material master the material cost display as $ 10/EA. But the Purchase Order value is $ 15/EA. During Goods Receipt time system is taking the cost as $ 15. While Billing time to the customer, system is posting to the CO-PA the material cost as $10/EA. FI postings are perfect, but CO-PA posting is not correct. CO-PA and P&L reconciliation is not matching due to this issue !
Waiting for the help.
Best regards,
Joby

Have you considered using this user-exit?
User Exits in the SAPFV45PF0E and SAPFV45PF0C Programs
EXIT_SAPFV45P_001
You can use this user exit to decide whether intercompany billing data is used in the profitability segment for cross-company code sales, or whether the data comes from external billing (external customer, sales data from the selling company code.

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.

Jacob

Add freight cost in a cross company code scenario using a costing sheet

Dear Forum,
I will like to add freight cost to a material using a costing sheet. The freight percentage is very easy to add and works fine when the cost is added in the company code costing. My problems start when I want to add the freight in the cross-company code costing. I want to setup a cross-company code costing where the freight cost is added to the material in the buying company code and not on the selling company code. The cross-company code costing is setup using special procurement costing keys.
In below costing (CK11N) the procurement costing key is not used.
From the itemization it is shown that purchase info.record 5300067643 is read and the price of 12,97 is determined. There is added 10% in freight coming from the costing sheet.
The freight is shown in the cost component structure as well.
The special procurement type is now changed from ‘20’ to ‘AT´ on the MRP2 screen in the material master. The procurement is now pointing to an internal plant called ‘DCN’.
The costing of material 105050 is now repeated. I get the expected result from changing the procurement key, as I can now see the material is sourced from plant ‘DCN’. DCN is sourcing the material from BJ07, but that is not relevant for the example.
If I now look at the itemization again on the costing in BGA1 I now see that the price is not coming from the info.record. It is the costing in DCN that is used.
I will still like to add the freight cost in BGA1.
How do I add freight cost in BGA1 when I at the same time want to have the costing to be taken from plant DCN?
Please let me know if you need additional information on the customizing setup of the system.
Best regards,
Kim Hjorth Poulsen

Hi Srinu,
Thank You for a prompt feedback.
I have tried to follow Your advise. The special procurement costing key is customized like below.
I have updated the special procurement costing key on the costing 1 view of the material master. When costing the material it is using the special procurement key. This can be seen from the qty. structure tab in CK11N.
It is also costing cross company as intended.
The itemization looks like below.
and the cost component structure looks like below.
Unfortunately the freight is not added in the costing in BGA1.
I noticed that when the costing is made without special procurement key the costing sheet used in the costing is for material components. If the costing is made with the special procurement keys the costing sheet used is for finished and semi-finished materials. The customizing in both of the costing sheets are the same, but only when costing is without the special procurement keys the freight is added.
So unfornutely Your suggestion did not solve the problem.
Best regards,
Kim

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.
