Exchange Rate Maintenance for two company codes..

Friends,
My client is having two company codes
X = India
Y = USD
US Company code is live for the last few years and India Company code is created recently and the same is live now.
Now when the US company code creates Purchase Orders / Scheduling agreements, the following error is encountered.
"Enter rate INR/EUR rate type M for 31.07.2008 in the system settings.:"
Now my question to the forum is that
1. If we maintain the exchange rates in OB08 will there any other effect ?
2. Is this error because One more company code is added to the same client which is operating in INR ?
3. When US Company code is not all transacting with India Company Code why is this error encountered.
Appreciate if some one can explain the pros and cons of this please. I am basically an MM consultant and I would also like to know the FI impact in this scenario, hence posted this question in FI forum.
Regards

Hi,
At the time of initial installation SAP would make EUR as base currency, so any new company code you create needs to have an exchange rate defined to the base currency EUR.
In your case you can define exchange rate to EUR and process PO, as per my knowledge there will not be any impact of this.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Exchange Rate type Assignment to Company Code

Hi,
I'm working on the implementation of a new company code on a SAP R/3 4.6c release. I've created a new exchange rate type EURH (with transaction OC47) and I would like to know hot to assign it to my new Company Code.
Is there a specifc standard transaction? Could you please suggest me a possible solution.
Thanks!

Hi
Exchange rate type you cannot assign to a company code. Where as you can specify explicitly while document entry.
By default in SAP for a new company code system will use 'M' rate as standard. If you want to replce this exachange rate type with your new exchange rate type then goto SPRO --> General Settings --> Currencies --> Define transilation ratios for currency translation
Maintain new exchange rate type as Alt.ERT against 'M' rate then system will take new exchange rate instead of 'M' rate. Otherwise as I said earlier, you can use created exchange rate type in any company code by specifying in document entry or payment program, or you even can assign ex.rate type to a Document type, etc.,
Hope above helps.

OBA1 exchange rate maintenance for the new accounts

Dear All,
The following three bank G/L accounts 1833280, 1833285 and 1833288 have been created in India Charts of accounts IN01 and extended to company AE10.
The G/L accounts can now be used in AE10.
Now tell me how can I make OBA1 exchange rate maintenance for the new accounts.
Please share your valuable opinions with me.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi,
The relevant transaction in OBA1 for the bank accounts is KDF.
Double click on KDF, a new screen will open up, where you do the following:
You enter the bank GL account here. If the account is to be differently handled at the level of the currency and currency type then you can further limit the exchange rate difference based on these 2 parameters.
Once you have entered the bank GL, save and then double click the bank GL account. A new screen will open up where you define accounts for the following:
The accounts below will carry the forex gain loss that you when you clear foreign currency transactions.
1. Exchange Rate difference realised:
Loss                 XXXXXX
Gain                 YYYYY
The accounts below will carry the difference while valuating you open items for

Different Bank charges GL account for two company codes with same COA

Hi,
While configuring OBXK ( Automatic GL account for bank charges) , I see there is provision to enter only one GL account per chart of accounts.
We have two company codes using same chart of accounts but different bank charges GL account. Please tell me how to configure this.
Thanks,
suresh

Hi,
Thanks Krishnan and Chandra.
I agree with you it could be the same GL account for bank charges, but the business requirement is such that in one of the two company codes, bank charges are required to be tracked separately to be subsequently transferred to the other company code. This means two separate GL accounts are required for two company codes which needs to be configured in OBXK.
Hope this clarifies my query further.
thanks,
suresh

Can I create a single PO for two company codes

Hi
Can I create a single PO for two company codes. Though I know that Company code is assigned at header level but still I know there is a setting in controlling which when activated two company codes under same controlling area can procure the goods under the same PO.But i forget from where to activate that message or control in config.
Thanks

Hi Lekhram,
I'm just beginner so maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.
If you order something that something must belong to a definite company > plant. How could possess two company the same thing at the same time (totally)?
(companies are at the same organisational level - none of them is subject to the other).
Maybe I'm mistaken.
So I <b>guess</b> you can use only one company code for one PO.

WBS for two company codes

Dear Experts,
This requirement is for an IT service project.
The process is - I have two company codes Comp code 1 & Comp code 2, In which Project is created in company code 1. Employees are assigned to project to onsite & offshore from company code 2. This means the employees are created in the company code 2. But working for the project in Comp.code 1. Comp code 2 get revenue thru intercompany billing based on number of hours/days the employee worked in the project created by the com. code 1. The employee books the timesheet in comp code 1 against the project id.
To acheive this
1) i need to maintain same project for two company codes?
2) Or same project, one wbs for one company code & other wbs for another company code?
Will the above two possible to work in SAP? or
anyother we i can workaround this
Please advise
Regards,
Deepu Pillai

Hi,
This is possible through Resouce Related billing in PS.
For e.g. Consider business scenario, where we have created T-10006 as a customer project.
Now this project is mapped using a work breakdown structure that contains activities.
The activities define the flow of the project and form a quantity structure for determining costs and payment data automatically.
The project cost plan is used to create quotations.
When the sales order is received, it is assigned to the project. This means that it can be used to plan revenue and then post this revenue.
Actual costs are entered when activities are confirmed, components are purchased and when invoices are assigned. Actual revenue is posted to the project by means of milestone billing.
Two companies are responsible for executing project T-10006.
Company 'A' is mapped using company code 1000 and performs all services except for those planned in WBS element T-10006.1.2.
Comapny 'B' is mapped using company code 2000 and performs some of the engineering services. (WBS element T-10006.1.2).
Here Comapny 'B' bills its services to Company 'A' on a resource-related basis.
A results analysis is carried out for the billing elements T-10006 und T-10006.1.2 in the project.
The results analysis values are settled to the profitability segment.

One vendor for two company codes

Hi Frds,
I have two company codes and i create a vendor which is applicable to both the company code.Is it required for me to create separate Payable reconciliation GL account for each company codes or creation of one common recco account is enuf.
Please elaborate on this as am new to this..
Thanks,
Rashmi Ravi

Dear all,
SAP allows You to create a customer / vendor master data that contains information that is valid for all the Company code --> into General data.
Then there is a part, Company Code data, where You can define specific details for each Company Code.
The transaction is the same FD01 or FK01.
I hope this helps You.

Operating concern for two company code with different currency

Hi,
We are merging two company code into one SAP server.
We decide to use on chart of account, and to use one operating concern.
For company code A: the currency is CNY, for company code B: the currency is TWD. The operating concern currency is:CNY.
So i need to in KEA0(maintain operating concern) active company code currency, right?
So every posting in company code B will be posted in TWD and CNY to COPA same item, right?
In KE30 report, where to add characters: Currency type that i can show company code B report in TWD?
Thanks.

Dear David,
Yes. If you have different compancy codes within one controlling area, you have to maintain currency type with 10-Company code currecny and while maintaining the operating concern also you have to choose the company code currency only. Then only you will get the reports with respect of your company code currecny level. This will be basing on your company code-sales organisation, plants and other charcters assignment basis in your configuration.
All the best,

One payments for two company codes

i would like to inform you how to post incoming payment when i have received amounts for differents company codes
regards

Guess you are trying to use F-28 (or something similar) to post the incoming payment. That will not allow what you want to do - split the incoming payment across two company codes.
Try the generic FI txn - F-02 (or something similar), and simply choose a different company code for the credit line items.
Dr Incoming Cash                            100
.   Cr Customer 1 in Co Code A          80
.   Cr Customer 2 in Co Code B          20
The obvious complication here is that you won't be able to pick open invoices for the customers. You might have to knock off the open invoice items against these credit line items in a separate txn (F-32).
Try it out and see if this suffices.

Exchange rate maintainance as per company code or ledger in OB08

Hello,
Is it possible to maintain exchange rate as per company code or ledger in exchange rate table.
If not, please suggest any other alternative where I can maintain exchange rate as per company code or ledger.
Regards,
Tapan

In table T882, you can see ledger and company code assignment; with currency keys and additional currency types used for company code/ledger. You have option to choose the currencies at ledger and company code level, but not the currency type. Exchange rate type 'M' is used and even hard coded in many programs/transactions for actual postings. In planning, to some extent you have the option to choose exchange rate type, default is 'P'.

Two same ERP # for 2 company codes

Hi!
I noticed that someone set up same ERP # for two different company codes for a same client.
What kind of issues this can bring from account receivables cycle perspective?
Would someone recommend to make different ERPs for different company codes?
Thank you.
Let me know if need more precision.

Hi,
If you want to use same COA for two company codes, you need to assign the same COA to those company codes with Tcode OB62.
Create all your GL accounts centrally with Tcode FS00.(COA level as well as first company code level), then copy all the GL accounts to the other company code with Tcode FS15.
Hope this will enough for this issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Hi Zafar
What I think is that you cannot make one PO for two company codes. Yes you can make two different PO for two company codes.
As per the cosrt conern in a PO you can further divide it to as per Distribution i.e. Single account assignment, distribution on Qty & Distribution on %age and than you can define different-2 Cost centres and than invoice them as per rules.
Please tell me if any doubt in this.

Creation of referenc BP in SD for different company code from IS-U system

Dear Friends,
I have two company codes called 2000 and 3000 in my IS-U system. I would like to create SD ref customer with reference to BP created in the IS-U system.
I created SD reference customer with 2000 company code along with sales data's and assigned it to MKK role in IS-U, but for the second company code 3000, I can't assign the SD reference customer in IS-U MKK role, because the MKK role has been assigned it to the SD ref customer of company code 2000.
Now the problem is, I need to create SD reference customer for two company codes (2000 and 3000) with two different sales org. details through IS-U.

Try creating your SD reference customer in both the company codes (2000 & 3000) with their respective Sales Org data in XD01. Specify this reference customer while defining the parameters for automatic creation of SD customers for BP in IS-U.

Same material in two company codes

Hi all,
I want to use the same material code (A1 - reynolds pen) for two company codes 1000 & 2000 what are all the implications i vl get in future,,,
plz any guide me,,,
regards,
urendra

Hi
You will not get any implications for this.
All your transactions are made effect on your valuation area.
which may be company code or plant.
In mm01 you are maintaing that material for plant level.
So data related to this material is stored for perticular plant if you are valn area is plant.
Also for stock transfer order you will have to maintain this material for both plants or company codes.
