Global Company Code

Hi All,
While we transfer documents for customer Master and vendor Master and bank Master through ALE then it requires for 'Global Company code' which I have to assign under Company code global parameters.
Can anyone explain me for what reason this customization required and will it affect any other R/3 customization?
Kindly clear my doubts.
Thanks & Regards

Even if you do not have Special Purpose Ledger functionality, if you need to transfer company-code specific data between system using ALE (IDocs), you will have to define global company code (also called as cross-system company code) and assign it to company code. Read the following SAP IMG activity documentation.
There are global organizational units which must be named the same in all systems to avoid any errors occurring in the distributed environment. Local organizational units are assigned to global organizational units in the individual systems.
There are global organizational units for the organizational units:
Company code
Business area
If you want to use ALE, you have to assign the local organizational units to the global organizational units in your systems to ensure that they are used consistently in the distributed environment.
Cross-system company codes are used in the distribution in financial accounting. There is exactly one central system for each cross-system company code in the distributed environment. One company code has to be assigned to this cross-system company code on each system involved in the distribution.
When sending an IDoc with company code-dependent data, the company code is replaced with the cross-system company code in all company code fields. When receiving this kind of IDoc the reverse conversion takes place on the target system.

Hi ,
Global company code will be created in OB72 and is assigned in OBY6. and mentioned that
Global Company Code configuration is needed for Company Codes which uses ALE distribution Scenarios for Data transfers through Non-SAP External Systems with SAP System.
If you have company code again why SAP is asking to create Global company code. ?
What do you mean by cross system company code?
Is it possibel to use same global company code to multiple company codes ?? if so in which scenarios?
What is the total logic related to Global company code?
Could you please answer

No Global company code is given

Hi All,
Can any one tell me, when i am generating i-docs, in sending system i doc is getting generated but with message type 29' No global company code is given for ALE'. could you tell me where i can configure this global company code.
Regards,
Suresh Patipati.

Hi,
It is: IMG > Basis Components > Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Cross-Application Settings > Global Organizational Units > Cross-System Company Codes
1. Create a cross-system company code.
2. Assign the cross-system company code to a chart of accounts to which it is also assigned on the central system. This setting is needed on the decentral systems in order to determine the chart of accounts of the company code on the central system.
3. Assign cross-system company codes to the local company codes. Specify the identifiers of the relevant cross-system company codes for each of the individual company codes.

NEW GL: profit center allocation cross company codes possible?

F-Hi,
In PCA the allocations are postes by company code - also the tracing factors are calculated by company code. In NEW GL, can the profit center allocation (transaction FAGLGA11) be done cross company, including the calculation of the tracing factors. Here is my example.
profit center     Company code     cost center     Posted amounts
P00010     02                           200010     1.000,00
P00010     03                           300010     2.000,00
P00010     05                           500010     4.000,00
P00010 Total                                   7.000,00
P40100     02                          240100        10,00
P40100     03                           340100         5,00
P40100     05                          540100         5,00
P40100 Total                                       20,00
P40200     02                           240200        20,00
P40200     03                           340200        30,00
P40200     05                           540200        20,00
P40200 Total                                       70,00
Purpose of the cycle in PCA:
Split the amount of profit center P00010 on to P40100 and P40200
with a ratio of what is posted already on those 2, cross company
So we should expect to split the 7.000 in to
     20/(20+70) from 7.000 = 1.555 for P40100
     70/(20+70) from 7.000 = 5.445 for P40200
But the program allocates by company code:
split     1.000     by ratio 10/20
     2.000     by ratio 5/30
     4.000     by ratio 5/20
OR, because we are in NEW GL, is the solution a rollup ledger with a global company code?
Thanks
Yves Kieckens

Hi,
I have sent an OSS message and they replied that it is not possible. There is a note about classic PCA indicating that cross company is not possible, and the same concept is valid for NEW GL.
I haven't done the solution via rollup ledger because not enough experience in my network.
We have done some specific programming in the upload of the statistical key figures as a workaround solution.

ALE configuration, Assign Company Code to Cross-System Company

Hello all,
I set up and configured ALE so that we can keep our production, QA, development master data in sync. I activated the change pointers for the particular message type for which we want to create IDOCs when new master data is created, or existing master data is changed. IDOCs are then sent to the QA and development systems.
Are these three ALE configurations associated with anything outside of ALE? Is there any area that can or will be affected by these three configuration settings?

Dinakar
SAP will be throwing this type of messages when
Differing currencies: USD - CAD
Message no. KT276
Diagnosis
The system makes consistency checks during assignment of a company code to a controlling area as part of assignment control.
The same checks take place if assignments already exist and you change the basic data in the controlling area, or if you define the controlling area and company code as a 1:1 structure.
If the check finds an error, the system cannot execute the function ("Assign" or"Change basic data"). If you do not maintain the required data for the consistency check (such as currency, chart of accounts, or fiscal year variant in the company code), this also results in an error message.
You want to use currency type USD. The SAP System determined the company codes assigned to controlling area CAD and the relevant currencies. One discrepancy occurred in one of the currencies.
Note
A precondition for currency type "10" is that all company codes assigned to the controlling area must use the same currency.
A precondition for currency types "40" and "50" is that all company codes assigned to the controlling area must belong to the same country or use the same hard currency or index-based currency.
A precondition for currency type "60" is that all company codes must belong to the same company or all the companies must use the same currency.
Procedure
Change the currency type or the currency settings.

hi,
i found this.
Sometimes during your IDOC/BAPI communication you will get error "No global company code is assigned to the company code" & Message no. FC 326 in Idoc status record.
This problem is very frustrating. The solution is simple, but hard to find.
There is a very long menu to get there. It is: IMG > Basis Components > Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Cross-Application Settings > Global Organizational Units > Cross-System Company Codes
1. Create a cross-system company code.
2. Assign the cross-system company code to a chart of accounts to which it is also assigned on the central system. This setting is needed on the decentral systems in order to determine the chart of accounts of the company code on the central system.
3. Assign cross-system company codes to the local company codes. Specify the identifiers of the relevant cross-system company codes for each of the individual company codes.

Standard message type limitation on company code

Hi all,
currently I'm implementing ale distribution with the standard message type
FIDCC1, i'm filling idocs in my source code and run function master_idoc_distribute
now i need to set up a distribution model, but when i do so, the transactions to make
documents complains that for certain company codes there is no global company code
although those codes aren't used for the distribution. Is there a way/place where i
can limit the use to certain company codes, without having to make global cc for
all the companies in the system?
or do i need something else then a distribution model to send the idocs?
grtz,
Koen

you will get good answer if you post it in ABAP forum.

Global Chart of Accounts to individual company codes

Hi
I would like to know the various conditions that should follow if we use a Global Chart of Accounts.
This Global chart of accounts is to be used by many company codes.
This Global chart of accounts will be used for consolidation. How the actual consolidation would take place ? Does it use the same principle of using the group account number in the individual company code's account number while creating the GL account master in the individual company code ? (I am confused because the company codes would be using the same account number as that is available in the Global chart of account). Or we dont have to enter the same account number again in the master GL of Individual company code ?
Your valuable views on this are welcome.
Regards

Hi,
Within Operating Chart of A/C of each Co.Code, Group Chart of Account need to be given
Group Chart of A/C GL Codes need to be different than Operating Chart of A/C GL Codes.
Generally, First 4 / 5 Digits of GL Code in Operating Chart of A/C can be used as GL Code in Group Chart of A/C wherever they exactly correlate with each other.
Warm Regards...

VAT registration No. in Company Code Global Parameters

Hi All,
I have tried to enter the Vat registration No. for a New Zealand Company Code and i have faced the error as "Entry of a VAT reg.no.is only possible for co.codes in EC countries"
Pls let me know config step to enter the VAT reg no irrespective of the above mentioned error.
Thank you
Gopi

Dear Gopi,
The VAT Registration No. field is reserved for only European countries, with an exception to Canada and few others.
By system design, the VAT registration number cannot be entered via transaction code OBY6 for non-EU countries. However, the following workaround can be used to accomplish this:
1. Turn ON the EU country switch (T005-XEGLD) in the Country Global Parameters via trans OY01.
2. Enter the VAT registration no. in the Company Code Global Data via transaction code OBY6.
3. Turn OFF the EU country switch (T005-XEGLD) in the Country Global Parameters via transaction code OY01. This switch should be turned OFF.

Vinod

Creating Company Codes in Global Roll-out Project

Dear Experts
Our Company operates out of multiple countries and we have embarked on implementing SAP across all our subsidiaries in these countries. We are planning on a Single Instance Single Client Landscace. With this in mind, we have completed the Global template design for the overall Enterprise Organization structure and also standardized on the business processes to be followed.. We are planning to configure these in our golden client against a company code (copy of 0001) to be used as reference for the subsequent actual country roll-outs. The strategy for rollout in those countries where SAP does not provide any Country template, we will use BC sets to copy the GT configurations and move on with the country specifc configurations. This will ensure the GT specific configurations will carry forward to those country legal entities. Thi doubt we have is for those countries where SAP recommends we start with a copy of the country template. In those countries what is the best / recommended practice to creae company codes. If a create a company code by copying the country template (say IN01 or BR01), then how do I get to use all the configurations already done for the GT reference company code. If I just copy of the GT reference company code to create a country specifc company code, then how do the country specific configurations (that comes with the country template) be available?
Appreciate if I could get some light on this subject
Regards
NSK

Dear NSK,
Did you find a solution to your problem?
We are facing exactly the same situation with roll-out on multiple countries on a single client single instance environment. We are still trying to create our Global Template in such a way that we can later on use it with all the aforementioned localizations needed for our subsidiaries.
Can you provide any information on how you dealt with this issue?
Thanks and regards,
Heraklis

Global contract - company code issue

H Experts,
We have setup a reference purchasing organization to be able to create global central contracts that is independent of company code and plant.
We only define plant once we do the release order againt global contract.
However whenever we create the central contract using the reference purchasing organization, the system will not proceed unless we define a company code. Please let me know how we can avoid the Pop up message u201CThe Purchasing organization XXXX has not been assigned to a company code. Please enter a company code.u201D
Please suggest.
Regards,
AG

Dear Avinash,
Below seeting you have to do according to your requirement
1 You have to assign the reference purchasing org to the compony code
2 Assign your purchasing org to reference purchasing org
3 assign reference purchasing org to plant
Then on the basis of all above validation you can take advatage of Contract and also info record and materil coz when you create a Vendor you create a vendor in combination of Purchasing org and compony code but not reference P. org, so doing above seeting you will validate all data
