Defining company codes

I am doing my first project in SAP-HCM. I have a query regarding company codes. Our customer has a group of companies (say, C1, C2, C3) under the umbrella XYZ froup of companies. I am clear that since each of C1, C2 & C3 is a separate legal entity they should be treated as a "Company Code" in SAP. But what about XYZ? Should we also treat it as a legal entity & therefore as a company code? Please guide me as I am not sure. If XYZ is not going to figure in as a company code, it may have no impact in SAP-HR (as employees are ultimately going to be attached to one of the individual companies C1 or C2 or C3 and not directly to the group XYZ). But what about the impact in SAP-FICO? How are the accounts of companies C1, C2 & C3 going to be consolidated to arrive at the performance of the group XYZ?
I learnt that Company Codes are defined in Financial Accounting. Does it mean that if SAP-FICO is already implemented (or undergoing implementation), then we just have to use those company codes in while implementing SAP-HR?
May be my question is wrongly framed or irrelevant to SAP-HR. If so, please correct me.

In case there are financial reporting flowing from c1, c2, c3 to XYZ then yes you need to maintain 4 company code.
If FICO has implemented already then for the comany code part you can follow up them.

There are 2 places to define Company Code, which is correct.

There are 2 places to define company code i.e.:
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Acc -> Define Company, and
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Acc -> Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company code.
I know the one path updates table T001 and the other T880 but I don't understand the differences... probably as I am abapper.

Hi Gemini,
Company and Company Code are different.
The first path is to define Company:
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Acc -> Define Company
Second path is to define Company Code:
IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Financial Acc -> Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company code.
(the practice when creating any new config in SPRO is to used Copy function instead of Create)
We can make do without Company. In my customer's system, we do not set up Company.
Company Code is a must and is the first step that you need to define before defining anything else (Pers Area, PSA, etc).
Chart of Account also linked to Company Code, not Company. The two are different, please do not confused them into one.

Steps to define company code and its dependent entries for mm,pm

Hi Experts,
kindly share that how to define company code and its dependent assignments for PM & MM module

Dear Hitendra
Company code, Contolling area, Profit Center are Financials related fields and are mapped under FI Enterprise structure as its Org unit. Plant (Logistics Plant) is defined in MM. Related modules like PP, PM, SD extend this logistics plant in their repsective modules as Production Planning Plant, Production Plant, Maintenance Planning Plant, Maintenance Plant, Sales Plant etc.
Company code is never defined in any logistics moudle , its in Financials where it is defined. It is then assigned to the Plant in logistics thru which the company code gets populated easily in respective modules.In contolling end, its controlling area that talks.

In FTXP the tax code is created in country IN, for the same tax procedure and the tax is a input tax.
please suggest what could be the exact problem

3.Also things to be checked

Hope it clears,

You can define the tax code for your country using the following menupath in customizing:
IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Tax on Sales and Purchases>Calculation-->Define tax codes ........... in the next screen enter your country and then the tax code you wish to create and press enter. You would be then directed to another screen, where you would maintain the description and whether it is a Input tax or Output tax and then maintain the appropriate tax percentage and save.
Your country should also be assigned to a calculation procedure. You check the same using the same menupath as mentioned above: .............Tax on Sales and purchases>Basic Settings>Assign country to calculation procedure........In the next screen, enter the appropriate tax procedure for your country. Eg: for country DE assign tax procedure as TAXD and save.
Hope this helps.

G/L account is not defined in company code

Hello,
When I try to release an invoice in accounting, there is an error "G/L account is not defined in company code ".
Does anyone knows the possible cause of these error?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to VKOA , Check whether you have assigned the correct G/L account or not .
Secondly if it is correct go to FS00 and extend the G/L Account.
For this you can take the help of FI consultant or ask him to create it . Once this is done than go to VFX3 and release the document for accounting.
Hope this will help you !!

Valuation Level defined at Company Code for IS Retail

Hi experts, I wanted to know why in SAP IS Retail we cannot define valuation at CC level, is no allowed in customizing. There is no such a proble in standar ERP.
Thanks.

I other words:
In SAP Retail out of the box, the valuation area must always correspond to a site. This means that an article could have different Moving Average Price (MAP) in each site (Store/Distribution Center). Our customer uses the same MAP in all the stores/DCs in their legacy system, this means, maintain valuation at company code level.
The big problem comes out when we post a vendor invoice which has a price variance for an article without stock coverage in the store/DC where GR has been posted. This discrepancy is posted into a u201Cdifference accountu201D
The price variance is calculated with the stock available ONLY in the DC. That situation is not legally acceptable in Argentina, as that price variance should take into account all stock available within ALL the company. Posting those discrepancies to a u201Cdifference accountu201D should only appear if there is a tangible change in stock valuation for the whole company (for example, goods sold or adjusted by an inventory count).
This is a very frequent scenario for our customer since it is settled in commercial agreements with vendors accepting invoices with price variances. Moreover, stock is almost immediately issued from DC to stores, causing logistics invoice verification occurs when stock is away from DC.
Our customer's requirements are:
1) Maintain the same MAP in all DCs/ stores
2) Avoid posting price invoice discrepancies into a u201Cdifference accountu201D when there is still stock available in stores (that means, posting those differences into stock account, affecting MAP)
Thanks

Company Code not defined

Hi,
I have copied the standard program behind FB60 and created a new transaction named ZFB60. There is no change in the code except that I have added a field on the main screen.
Now the problem is when I run my transaction, it pops a dialog box and asks me
for the Company code. After entering that, it takes me to the main screen where when I enter fields 'Vendor' , 'Invoice date' and 'Reference', it gives me an error "Company code is not defined". But if with the same set of data I execute the original transaction FB60, it gives me no error.
My problem is that can any one tell me, why this error is coming, when I have made no changes to the original code. The only change that I have made is adding a field in the tablecontrol that comes on the main screen.
Can anyone help me?
Points assured for helpful answers.

Hi
Probably the program does some controls using the value of SY-TCODE, so u should find and replace them.
So if you have : IF TCODE = 'FB60', you should replace it with IF TCODE = 'ZFB60'.
It's not easy to create a copy of FB60, because the main program (SAPMF05A) of FB60 is called by many transactions, so it has a different behavior for every trx.
