Error in Securities DBT update types

Question

Hi experts
We are using securities module (Transaction manager) to manage our stock (equity) transactions.
We have defined the update types for (DBT_E001 and DBT_B001) as not relevant to posting as i do not want to post the gain / loss on sale of securities in some companies (say A) using these DBTs.
However for a few other companies (say B) i have to post the accounting entries. Hence we have made the update type relevant to posting.
But with this it generates accounting entries for co code A as well as B.
I have also tried to make "offline" in control of online calculation of DBT. but it only postpones the flow generation. i have to generate and post the flows before i do key date valuation.
I want to activate DBT flows for co code B but not for A.
Please suggest

Hi Gaurav,
Your rqmt can not be addressed by making update types relevant for posting, as update types are not cocd specific. You need to use following specifications seperately for each company code:
a. seperate  Accounting Code for each cocd if the valuation class is same for both cocd, else maintain different valuation class.
b. Different Position Management procedure for each Company Code based on few Key fields (Accounting code/Val Class)
c. Assignment of each PMP to respective Acct Code/Valuation Class
d. Then you copy existing update type DBT_E001 and DBT_B001 and make a copy.
e. Mark newly created update type not for posting
f. Assign newly created update type in Dervied Business Transactions of new PMP instead of DBT_E001 and DBT_B001
By setting above, for both cocd the flows generated by system will be same but with different update type and one set of update type is already marked for posting and other not.
Otherthan this, another alternative is to maintain dummy GLs in Acct Determination so that no amount will post to actual GLs based on Cocd.
Hope this will solve your problem.
