Diffrence between Master Chart of Accounts and Company Code Chart of Accoun

Hi,
what is the Diffrence between Master Chart of Accounts and Company Code Chart of Accounts?
Regards
Divya

HIi
Mater chart of accounts is nothing but the main account that is created at the client level.
we have 3 COA
1. Group chart of accounts
2.country specific chart of accounts
3. Operating chart of accounts
we can have maximum 3 chart of acocunts assigned to each company code
Company code chart of accounts is can be operating chart of account which contains the group of account used by that company...
If some specific requireement is there for the country reporting purpose than we need to use that and maintain that ,
Group chart of account is used for the consolidation purpose.
like we have 6 company codes under one company in differnet countries.. so here they will have one common COA which will consilidate the business of all 6 company codes...
Hope u understand wht u wanted..

Should I delete company code & then retry the same?
Please suggest how to reassign chart of accounts to company code as no data like customer, vendor or sales transaction is made.
Pl advise solution THANKS

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the answer. I have not copy any company code to my co. code 4040. Just as new entry I created 4040 company code. In Org object Check everything about table found OK. No seprate G/L A/C is created by me for co. code 4040
To see if company code is productive means Active? In "Enter Global Parameter? Tab-->Cost of Sales Accounting ACTV is 2. When I tried to make it Inactive (Blank), it is not allowing me and showing error msg as below.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
I checked this but asking for Application Area to put & I do not know hwat area I should put.
Am I going right as suggested by you?
I had deleted G/L accounts earlier but Sales Actg is active so sould not go ahead.
As per Venkat I had decided to delete company code, But I want to solve without deletion.
I am SD guy so asking many Qs of FICO as I am learning now.
Thanks
Reason why you are not able to delete the assignment is that, you have already created GL accounts for the COA. I hope you have not done any posting using those GL accounts.
First of all please make that you company code is not set as productive. if set prodictive you will not be able to delete any master data. So please remove the productive check(if any).
Then you try to delete the GL account that you have created for the COA. once you delete the GL account the system might ask for the deletion of the account group. After that you should be able to change the assignment.

Client level, chart of accounts level, company code level

Generally what are the areas under client level, chart of accounts level, company code level.
For Ex. document types are client level, number range company code level
like the above does we have any list which is falling in the above levels.

1. Generally during customising when co code data is not asked , then settings are client level.
Country, Currency, Document types, all variants of diff types, chart of accounts, etc
2. Every master is having data - General data level (client level) for use by all co codes, Co code data level(basically for accounting purposes) and so on.
These are applicable to GL, Vendor, Customer, Asset, Matlerials, etc
For particular application we have more information at another object level also- Vendor- Purchasing, Customer-Sales, materials-Plant- controlling, etc
3. Chart of accounts level assignments are done for all automatic posting definitions-which is applicable to all company codes which are using same chart of accounts.
4. In material setting- valuation can be grouping level, co code level or plant level as these are related to costing and product costing.
Hope the above will give some idea.
In the above nothing is written about CO as you have not asked-

Extend chart of account to company code

Hi Experts,
I have created a chart of account. I want to extend all accounts to particular company code, as mare assignment of chart of account to comapny code (OBY6) does not allow to use these accounts for this particular company code.
Please guide me how can i do that.
Best Regards

I think you can't just extend accounts from CoA to a company code. Because CoA and Company code sections of a GL account is always different. And there are certain fields at Co code levels like Field Staus Group which is a required entry and this doen't exist in the CoA segment at all, then how can you extend CoA to a Co Code directly?
Standard practice is to
-create a chart of accounts by copying a SAP standard CoA (e.g CAUS for US) t-code OBY7
- Extend this CoA to a specific company code by copying from a SAP sample Company Code (E.g. Co Code 0001 which uses the CoA CAUS) t-code- OBY2
- Do mass update for the Chart of accounts to have the description and other changes (T-code OB_GLACC11)
-Do mass update for the Chart of accounts (Company Code data) if required (T-code OB_GLACC12)
- Then copy the GL accounts from one Company code to Mutiple company codes (FS15)
Since you have already created the CoA accounts, you can possibly create all GL accounts manually in a specific company code (T-code FSS0) and then copy to other Company codes (T-code FS15)
Or You can use LSMW to create the GL accounts in one company code and then copy to other Company codes (T-code FS15)
Thanks

How to change chart of account to company code

Dear Guruu2019s

I gone to T code OB62 from position go to my company code I changed the chart of account but while saving the file I got thread u201CReset company code data before changing the chart of accountsu201D
How to go further could anybody explain me.
Thank you in advance
krishna

If you really want to allocate a different chart of accounts to the company code, first of all reset the company-code specific data for the old chart of accounts.
1. First of all you must, if it exists, reset the transaction data for this company code.
2. Finally, carry out the resetting of the company code-dependent G/L account master data (without the general master data).
Note:
When dealing with large quantities of data, resetting the master data or transaction data can be very time-consuming. In this case, it is advisable to schedule the running of these reports as a batch run.

Account config in Chart of Accounts Vs. Company code

I am in a self study mode and had a question that may be very simple for all you experts yet confusing for me. What is the main difference? I know that any GL accounts that are to be used at Company code level are to be setup at CoCd level and the Chart is an exhaustive list of all available accounts. Do I HAVE to set it up at company code level to use the account, or do I have to set it up at company code level only if there is an account that is in addition to the COA thats relevant for that CoCd only?

Hi
CoA contain two segments:
1 Chart of account segments
2 Company code segement
Chart of account segment informatio is common and same across all company codes. So u can create GL accounts which will contain whether it is a PL or BS account, account group and Short and Long text which will not change across the company codes.
All GL accounts created in CoA may or may not contain in all the company codes. Some GL accounts would have been created specifc to certain company codes to meet certain accounting requirements. Company code relevant information may not be same across the company codes. For example currency. field status group, tax relevant accounts. For a company code situate in India, the currency may be INR where for the same account situated in US may be defined as USD. Hope it is clear now.

Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

Hello Experts
we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
> Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
> You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
> Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
> No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.

Upload of chart of accounts at coa and company code level

dear all
can you tell me how it is best to upload a new chart of accounts both as a chart of accounts level and company code. i am planning to use lsmw but shoud i upload chart of accounts first then company code level?
with many thanks
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you have single company code then create one LSMW for transaction "FS00" it upload the COA both at company code and COA level. If you have morethan one company code and you want to upload same COA to both company codes then better first COA level with FSP0 then company code level with FSS0 because here you can extend the required GL's from COA to COmpany code.

Chart of Account and Country COA

Hi All,
Can some tell me difference between Chart of Accounts and Country Chart of Accounts. And for What purpose Country Chart of Accounts is used.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
Chart of Accounts
Definition
This is a list of all G/L accounts used by one or several company codes.
For each G/L account, the chart of accounts contains the account number, account name, and the information that controls how an account functions and how a G/L account is created in a company code.
Use
You have to assign a chart of accounts to each company code. This chart of accounts is the operating chart of accounts and is used for the daily postings in this company code.
You have the following options when using multiple company codes:
You can use the same chart of accounts for all company codes
If the company codes all have the same requirements for the chart of accounts set up, assign all of the individual company codes to the same chart of accounts. This could be the case if all company codes are in the same country.
In addition to the operating chart of accounts, you can use two additional charts of accounts
If the individual company codes need different charts of accounts, you can assign up to two charts of accounts in addition to the operating chart of accounts. This could be the case if company codes lie in multiple countries.
The use of different charts of accounts has no effect on the balance sheet and profit and loss statement. When creating the balance sheet or the profit and loss statement, you can choose whether to balance the company codes which use different charts of accounts together or separately.
Structure
Charts of accounts can have three different functions in the system:
Operating chart of accounts
The operating chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that you use for posting in your company code during daily activities. Financial Accounting and Controlling both use this chart of accounts.
You have to assign an operating chart of accounts to a company code.
Group chart of accounts
The group chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts that are used by the entire corporate group. This allows the company to provide reports for the entire corporate group.
The assigning of an corporate group chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Country-specific chart of accounts
The country-specific chart of accounts contains the G/L accounts needed to meet the country's legal requirements. This allows you to provide statements for the country's legal requirements.
The assigning of an country-specific chart of accounts to a company code is optional.
Integration
The operating chart of accounts is shared by Financial Accounting as well as Controlling. The accounts in a chart of accounts can be both expense or revenue accounts in Financial Accounting and cost or revenue elements in cost/revenue accounting. You can find additional information on this subject under Cost Accounting and Chart of Accounts.
Thanks,
Rau

Group Chart Of Accounts and Group Account Number

Hi SAP Gurus,
For the sake of consolidated reporting, we are planning to create group chart of accounts and assign a Group account number to the GL account master. The structure is going to be like this:
Operating Expenses (Group Account : 461000).
Air Conditioning Exp   (GL account 461000001)
Elevators                   (GL account 461000002)
Coffee and snacks      (GL account 461000003)
This is being done to achieve a detail level reporting at the company code level and a consolidated reporting at a group level where the reporting would be based on group account or FSIs. We would define a financial statement version based on FSIs.
My question is : do we need to activate the consolidation (EC-CS) module to push the data to the FSIs or the data would flow automatically to the group account if we assign this to the GL master. If we go to fetch the data from the ECMCT table, do we need to have a consolidation unit?
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
thanks
sri

Hi,
There are certain preliminary steps to be carried out in ECCS. You can find them under SPRO->Enterprise Controlling->Consolidation->Integration: Preparation for Consolidation.
You need to choose the type of consolidation, create Company, link it to Cons Unit in ECCS, Creating/Copying FS Items (each account in Group COA will have an FS Item; 1:1), etc.,
After the setup, you actually need to carry out Rollup or Flexi Upload for importing FI data into ECCS FS Items. This is done to Data Monitor - CXCD.
In ECMCT, typical selections would be Dimension, Cons Unit, Cons COA, FS Item.
I suppose these preliminary steps are requried for the data to flow to FS Items.
Hope this clarifies.
Rgds.
