I have one controlling area

I have one controlling area I assigned many company codes to that controlling area what is use of assigning comepany codes to controoling area?

Hi Srinivas,
One controlling area can have more than one company code, CO used for internal reporting purpose, Having more than one company code to one controlling area have the following advantages.
1) Cross company code Reporting is Possible.
2) Cross Company code Postings are possible.
To assign more than one company code to one controlling area the following are the conditions.
1) The company codes must use the same chart of accounts.
2) The fiscal year variant of controlling area and the company codes assigned must have the same number of posting periods (NOT SPECIAL PERIODS)
Hope you clear.

Two company codes under one controlling Area

In this client, we have two company codes under one controlling Area
Will there be any authorisation issues (ie getting the information of other company code date) in Co reports (z reports, standard reports, report painter)?
Any thoughts on this is helpful for me.
Thanks
Aruna

HI,
Authorization is a flexible tool used to have control as per organization policies.
For your specific requiremnt u can set the profiles with Technicals persons help with the desired authorizations . Authorization can be set for single company code or multicompany codes as per our requirement.
You can make a authorization profile/s and assign the desired roles.

One Controlling Area for Two CoCds with different Fiscal Year variant

Hi,
I have a Company code with FYV "A1" with 12 Periods (Apr - Mar) - Fiscal year start at Apr-01 and ends Mar-31 of the next year.
I have another company code with FYV "B1" with 12 Periods (Jan-Dec). - Fiscal year start at Jan-01 and ends Dec-31.
Chart of Accounts for both the company code is same.
Can I assign these two company codes to one Controlling Area?
When I try to assign the company codes, I got the following warning message.
Differing fiscal year variants: A1 - B1
Message no. KT297
Diagnosis
Fiscal year variant A1, controlling area 1000, does not agree with fiscal year variant B1, company code 5001.
The following entries must agree:
- Same number of posting periods (the number of special periods may vary)
- Same period limits
Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
1. What is the meaning of "Same period limits"?
2. Does it mean the fiscal year start and end date must be same?
3. What is the impact of the warning message?
Thanks
Palani

Having same fiscal year variant is one of the requirements for different company codes to be under one controlling area.
The FYV for the company codes and the controlling area can have a different number of special periods. The number of posting periods must be the same.
Impact of warning message: You cannot create one controlling area for both company codes (1:n assignment).
If you like, you can create one controlling area for one compnay code with FYV A1 and another controlling area for another company code with FYV B1.

Can we Maintain two Cost Center Hierarchies in one Controlling Area

Dear All,
My client established a 2nd plant and he wants seperate Cost Center Hierarchy, cost center groups and cost centers for that 2nd Plant. Can we maintain two cost center hierarchies in one controlling area.
Please suggest me steps related to this configuration.
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle

Hi,
Standard hierarchy is a tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint. You can create a separate node assigned to Standard hierarchy for your new Plant. You can have only one Std.hierarchy. Alternative hierarchy for any reporting purpose is definitely an option.
Hope this helps.

One controlling area with two company codes assigned with one CoA

Hi,
I   am having one controlling area with two company codes assigned , i am using the same gl for two company codes as cost element , when i am positng the miro for vendor purpose it posted the error , to avoid the price difference purpose , i have given one cost center of first company code in OKB9 , and overcome the error , entries posted, when i am posting new entry for MIRO   in secod company codes with same cost element , price difference of that account should go to the other cost center which specifically created for second company code, in the OBK9 i have given cost center first company code   of the same GL account , now this is another new entry in the second company code with other cost center in the second company code since the price difference account should sit in the other cost center of second company code, how to over come this problem, pls help me
Thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi,
First, remove the default cost center in the cost element. Then, for the system to derive the correct cost center for each company codes, define one cost center for each compny codes in OKB9 just like this:
Co Code   Cost Element   Cost Center
1000          1000000              A
2000          1000000              B
So during MIRO, the system will derive these values you maintain in OKB9.

Copy a group of cost centers from one controlling area to another

Hello,
is it possible to copy a group of cost centers from one controlling area to another?
Or a group of internal orders?
Thanks
Jasmina

No. If you used any upload tools like LSMW, perhaps you may use that for uploading the second controlling area.

You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

How could i Integrate (merge) 2 different Controlling areas into one?

Hello gurus,
The client i am working for had defined, from the beggining (during SAP Implementation), one Controlling area for the entire company.
This definition was correctly done, as a way to centralize every operation and transaccion made.
After some years, this company merge with another one, that had the same implemented controlling model, but asociated to another Controlling area.
The problem is that we need to integrate both Controlling areas into one, in other words, every operation saved or transaction made linked to the new Controlling area (the one of the second company), must be converted to the code of the original one.
Is there an std. way to erase the second Controlling area and asociate all its records (saved in every table) to the orignal one, as if they were one from the very beggining?
Thanks very much!.
Pablo.-

Hi Daniela, thanks to you too.
If you or anybody have some specific documentation about 'SLO -- SAP Organizational Structure Changes -- Controlling area Merge' to send me while i continue looking, i will be pleased.
Thanks a lot anyway!

One or More Credit Control Area assinged to one company code

HI Guys,
In credit management , the below said customizing is done by FI.
Financial Accounting Customizing
Financial Accounting  Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable  Credit Management  Credit Control Account  Assign Permitted Control Areas to Company Code
Can any one explain why and for what purpose assign permitted control areas to company code.
Because one control area can be assigned to one company code. If not please clarify.

Credit Control Area
Definition
An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored.
This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is
performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control
information for each customer.
Use
Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. According to your corporate
requirements, you can implement credit management that is centralized, decentralized, or
somewhere in between.
For example, if your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control
area for all of your company codes.
If, on the other hand, your credit policy requires decentralized credit management, you
can define credit control areas for each company code or each group of company codes.
Credit limits and credit exposure are managed at both credit control area and customer level.
You set up credit control areas and other data related to credit management in Customizing for
Financial Accounting. For more information, see the Implementation Guide under Enterprise
Structure Definition or Assignment Financial Accounting and then Maintain credit control
area. You assign customers to specific credit control areas and specify the appropriate credit
limits in the customer master record.

CSKA & CSKB Tables -Cost Element+ Controlling Area, Cost Element Category

I have few questions on Chart Of Accounts and Controlling Areas and CSKA(Cost elements (data dependent on chart of accounts)) and CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) Tables--
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts.
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.

Hi,
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts. Never
One controlling area can be assigned to many company codes, but all must have been assigned to the same chart of accounts only. This is the pre requisite for the so called cross company controlling
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
If some data exists in CSKA table, it mean that, it must have been created as a CE in any of the controlling area
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
In CSKB, you wont get the correspondant COA for the given controlling area. If you want to know it pass field value CSKB-KOKRS to table field TKA01-KTOPL to get the assigned COA
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
You cannot create a secondary cost elemant using a key matching with an GL code in cross company controlling. In case of both company codes assigned to different controlling areas this can be possible
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.
Only In case of CO module is not active for the a company code
Note: If you have more queries, post it separately rather than asking all in one thread. and be specific with your requirement with the actual scenario.
Thanks,
Srinu

Multiple Controlling Areas

I have a client with multiple controlling areas in ECC 4.6c. We are preparing them to upgrade to ECC 6.0 then migrate to the new G/L. The questions is: When is it "easier" to convert to a single controlling area, before or after the ECC 6.0 Upgrade? Before or as part of the New G/L Migration?
They may not upgrade until very late this year or early next year. They want to improve consolidated reporting as quickly as possible but are wary of the amount of time needed to eliminate the multiple controlling areas.

Have you thought about re-implementing???
Migrating Company Codes from different controlling areas can be a complicated process. You may need to create new Company Codes and link them all to the new controlling area.
This will be a massive job - even if you dont want history.
Think of the master data - Customers, Vendors, Assets, Materials etc.
If you are to do anything you should get your rg Structure defined - i.e. one Controlling Area and then go for the new gl document splitting program.
The two pieces of work are Fiscal Year dependant, the next FY you would need to move to a single Controlling Area, and then the following move to document splitting.
You could do the Controlling Area and Upgrade (re-implementation) in one project and then do the document splitting the next Fiscal Year.
Either way - good luck, sounds like you are going to be very busy !!!

Changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code

Hi,
Due to my client requirement, in the middle of the year, we need to change the controlling area from being same as company code to cross company code controlling area. Although the currency is same. We are going to create a new company code. Is the changing controlling area settings possible to do? what are the precautions and changes need to be taken?
One more question, we need to change the company code when the new company code is created in the system in Cost Center Masters in the middle of the year. Is this possible after changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code. Right now company code is not appearing in the cost center master.
Thanks & Regards,
Saidarao

Hi,
If both companies having transaction data its not possible,Normally before defining Organisational Strucutre only we have to deside both companies is assigning same controlling are or have to maitain separately for this we have to compare the Fiscal year,Operating chart of accounts ,if both having same then we will assign both the company codes to one controlling area if these two companies having different currencies also its not a problem.When we creating Controlling Area we have to choose option of controlling area as same company code (if one company code one controlling Area) for example if you assigning two companies then we have to use cross company code cost accounting.If u need any further information let me know.

Satya
