Hi,
Client Level
The client is the highest level in the SAP System hierarchy. Data stored at client level can be accessed by all company code in the system.
Company Code Level
The company code is the central organizational unit of external accounting within the SAP System. Data stored or created at company code level can be used with in company code.
Customer Master Data
Customer Master data is divided into three parts:-
Client Level
Company Code Level
Sales Area Level
For Example:-
Customer Master created at client level like address data can be used by all company code. If customer A master data has been maintained at client level than company code ABCD and company code EFGH can extent customer at company code level and use customer for FI posting. Again if you want to use customer for SD than you need to extent it in SD area.
So, you can say that Master record created at client level can be used by all company code across the system.

Valuation at plant level and company code level

Hi,
Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
Regards,
Malsha Kalubowila

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

Cost Centre creat at Controlling Areal level or Company code level???

Hi,
I have a doubt,
1. Cost center is created at controlling area level or company code level.
2. Is it possible to create at company code level.
Please update me.
We have company code field in cost center master.
If we update this field, can we use same cost center for another company code also???
Thanks
Partha

Hi Joshi,
Thanks for your inputs.
We create cost center in CO under controlling area. [In cost center master there is one filed company, its not mandatory.]
Question is - If multiple company codes assigned to one Controlling Area, in this case -
Is it possible to utilize same controlling are for multiple company codes.
You tell me if possible, how it is possible?
Thanks

How identify the data is client level,plant level or company code level

Dear sirs,
GM
How identify the data is client level,plant level or company code level?
If there is any T.code for same in SAP plz send me otherwise any procedure?
Hopeeeeeeeeee....

Hi,
Once you gain experience, you will not look at any table any field or any view...You will do it just like how you use keyboard once you pass type writing....
That is why every area of work, including master data is handed over to specialized teams...that will be their work day in and out....for some one newly entering, it will be little bit tough...once you practice, you will not be worried any more. Of course, basic data at client level, purchasing data plant level etc...some thumb rules are there...still, you will take big blow by following such thumb rules because if you verify storage condition assigned in the storage location is not storage location level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is experience!! In this forum, it is good to practice rewarding...else, there may not be any more replies
Good Luck

What is the difference between 1000 and 0001 company codes?

Iam getting error message while converting planned order to prodcution order using Tcode MD16. The error is related to control indicator.
I went to SPRO and tried copying 0001 data to my company in definition-maintain controlling area-copy,del,check,ctrlling area.
The system allowed to copy 0001 data only in structure-templates-
However, after the copying process, it shows that the copying was cancelled.
Please help me to solve this problem.

James

Hi James,
Please give the excat error message you are getting when you tried converting planned order to production order. This would help the group to suggest.
Check whether you have maintained the conversion Planned order ---> Prodn order using transaction "OPPE". Also check you have maintained all other plant parameters in "OPPQ".
Hope the above would resove the problem while conversion.
Reward your points,

Extending 200 GLs from COA to company code level at one go

Hello All,
Wanted to know if there is any way of extending a list of GLs from COA level to company code level at one go?
I had copied about 300 GLs at COA level using OBA7 and now want to extend about 200 of them to a company code. Is there any transaction code with which I can copy/extend all these 200 GLs to the company code?
jw

thanks Murali_Babu. N for your reply. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you can use OBY7 to copy GLs from an existing COA to a new COA and then extend the required GLs from the new COA to a company code. I did the first step using OBY7 but then forgot what is to be done next. Thanks to you both, now I know we can do it with LSMW and also BDC but wanted to know if there is any way by which I can continue with OBY7 and any other tcode.
thanks.

Client Level & Company Code Level Settings.

Hi

Regards,
Amol

Hi
SD strat with Sales Organization assign to company code, next is Distribution channel and Divisions, combination these 3 called as sales area. next is sales offcie and sales groups.
Client and company codes top most level in SAP and Company code defined in FI.
Batch mangement activate at Plant level and warehouse level, settings need to done on Material master and plant level not at company code level, but plant assigned to company code.
Same as Serial number profiles related to Plant and Material master, again here plant is link to company code and material created under plant.
So, no where direct link to Company codes.
hopes it helps

Valuation Area at Company Code level

Hi,
In what ideal business case/industry one should set valuation area at company code level when SAP recommends valuation area must be set at Plant level ? in other words..what is the practical purpose of Valuation area at company Code level?

Hi
Think that valuation area link with records in table MBEW. So, if you have a company with 3 plants, and you have a single valuation for all company, in 3 plants the valuation of materials are the same, with their implications in valuation of stock and valuation of margin in sales (remember that this value can flow -really, use to flow- to condition VPRS in SD, well see SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD and SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing for more details). If you do a valuation different by plant, stock and margin calculations are different.
What are the elements that you must considerer?
1. If the materials is purchased, think if the same material have different conditions (different conditions in MM, for instance, indirect costs as shipment costs, different vendor with meaningful differences in prices or discounts). It's indiferent that it is a raw material or a material that you can sell. The raw material will work in product costing as an item in BOM. First of all, considerer the impact in stock value, second think how is delivered the materials to customer from plants and their impact in profitability analysis. If there are meaningful differences for the same material between different plants and you give the same value in all company, depending of the mix perhaps your customer is fooling himself about this issue.
2. If the material is manufactured, talk with your CO consultant and what kind of impact could have different routings, BOM and prices of raw materials between plants. Same considerations for valuation of stocks and margin.
Finally, in the page 10 of the document you can read
Valuation must be at Plant level in the following cases:
u2022If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
u2022If your system is a SAP Retail system
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
PD: I forgot, talk this with the CFO of the company, taking in account the restrictions (when it must be plant level).

F.01 - extract to consolidation on company code level

Hi everyone
We're trying to do an extract to consolidation on company code level (1). When popup dialog "Filename for extraction file" appears we can choose between presentation server or application server.
When choosing presentation server and logical filename ECCS_FILE we get error GC027 (Error opening file c:\temp\EXTRACT_CS_CO.txt).
Doing so choosing application server however works (whereas path isn't the same).
We already checked and double-checked settings of logical file name and logical path in transaction FILE.
Any suggestions what to do or isn't it supposed to work via presentation server?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all
Renaud

I have not seen anything that you have mentioned to enter file path?
Is this being customised for your Company?
How did you download this before?

Classic profit centers reporting full b/s below company code level

Dear Experts,
we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
any suggestions ?
Regards,
Sekhar

Hello Sekhar,
With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
This is due to following reasons
1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
2. Asset line items
Profit center will be determined by Asset master
3. Tax accounts
Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
4. Material accounts
Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
5. Other Balance sheet accounts
These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
Hope it helps..
Thanks & Regards,

Vluation at company code level and transfer prices in EC-PCA

Hi,
We have the following configuration:
1. Valuation of stock at Company Code level.
2. Transfer pricing between Profit Center (i.e. Material Ledger is active).
we experience some technical issues (e.g. we get error message when entering MM03 accounting view). Our Plants and Company Codes were created using copying standard SAP delivered Org. units.
Did any of you implement such a configuration? Do you have knowledge of limitations and problems that might result?
TIA for you help,
Avihay

Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

Hi company code level

A gl account can be created in two levels
1 chart of accounts level. All gl accounts are created in a chart of accounts level. Even though you create a gl account in COA level it is not possible to post to it.
2 Company code level. Not all gl accounts are created ina company code leve. To create the gl account account in company code level they need first to be created in COA.
When you create a gl account in COA level you are creating the number, description whethere p&l or b/s
When you creat gl account in company code level in you have certain types like currency, fsg e.t.c.

Addition of a field in vendor master table at company code level

Hi Champs,
My requirement is to add a field in LFB1 table.
I have added the field in the table using append structure, that was fine.
I need to add the same for input/output on the screen 215 of program SAPMF02K (for the screen of Payment transaction Accounting at company code level).
As far as I know there are only screen enhancements for Vendor master(no screen exits). The screen enhacements are "Prepare Modification-Free Enhancement in Vendor Master Record". But using that i need to create a subscreen, but in my requirement I need to add the field on the same screen.
Is there any solution for that???
Please let me know if my doubt is not clear.
Regards,
Nishant

Hi Krish,
I am not able to find the screen exit for my requirement.There is only screen enhancement for Vendor master.If you have any idea of the same pls let me know.
I am ok with the solution that i need to change in the standard screen using access key, but do i need to code anything in the PAI or PBO of the screen or it will be taken care automatically. Details of the program and screen is already given.
Thanks
Reagrds,
