Implication for keeping one Company Code

Hi All,
Can some one give me implications or disadvantage of having one company code. The scenario I am doing rollout for Germany and Germany is having their branches in Spain, France, Sweden and Switzerland.
Over here Germany is main office and all other countries are branches of Germany. Now there are into non SAP. Only Germany has sale and purchase authority of on behalf of Spain, France and Switzerland  and their customer and vendors are in Germany company code. And Sweden has its own sales and purchase. Also all the asset which are purchased in Spain France countries belongs to Germany. Now We are doing rollout for these countries and having MM,SD, FI (AP,AR,  Asset,  Cost center accounting, Profit center Accounting and Profitability Analysis)
My client wants to go for one company code i.e Germany so all the purchase and sale of Sweden will come under Germany company code. And Sweden has its local currency as Krona.
Now what will be implication or disadvantage on Chart of Account, B/S, P and L, Currency Reporting, Foreign Currency Evaluation, Intrastat reporting, TAX ect.
I am also convincing   client to go for 2 company code
So f some one can guide me that will be very help full
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Kiran.

hi....
You may define profit centers and company codes independently of each another.
In a company code, you can assign transactions to one or more business areas.
you can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code
reporting.
so its possibe  that one business area being used for more than one company code

  • Slow VF04 Process Only on One Company Code

    We have 5 company codes on our system. Last month we create new company code. No problem in Devevelopment or QA Server.
    However, when we transporteded this new company code configuration to Production server, we got VF04 problem.
    VF04 very slow for only one company code (existing company code), it took more than 30 minutes for 1 plant and 1 business date (normally it took about 1-3 minutes for 1 plant).
    The longest time in this process in SM50 is "Sequential Read on CE4xxxx table". What could we do to check why VF04 on existing company code is very slow while in other company codes (including the new one) running normally.
    Thank you so much.

    If the two notes are not applicable, then have a look at this
    Note 1996268 - Performance problem while generating billing documents using VF04    
    If this is also not the root cause for the issue you are facing, then share the following note to your Security team as I already indicated and ask them to follow the steps listed out in this note as this is purely technical related issue and not a functional related issue.

  • Trigger an e-mail for QA department at the GRN time only for a one company

    Hi experts,
    My client needs to trigger an e-mail for QA department at the GRN time only for a one company code. Is it possible with stand red SAP R3 system or can it be done through user exit. Please advice.
    If it is possible with standard SAP R3 please be kind enough to give configuration steps.
    Thank you & Best Regards
    Sameera

    Hi Sameera,
                        Very recently we have done a similar Development.
    but for the same we have used the Work Flow Functionality for the GR.
    you can use the Business Object :  BUS2045    Inspection lot
    you can check the same in SWO1 T-Code.
    you can check the Key Field is Inspection Lot no.
    That means , at the time of GRN if the Insp. Lot is getting Generated the Workflow can be initiated.
    then you have to wright an FS as to define for the Person to whom a mail to trigger.
    it can Trigger a mail to the External system as well as to the SAP Inbox for the information.
    in addition it can trigger an Event(Work Item) based on which the Quality Person can directly do the Inspection from the SAP Inbox.
    for more details you can contact your WorkFlow Consultant.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Delete G/L Accounts for one company code when transaction data exists

    SAP transaction OBR1 can be used to reset transaction data.
    If you execute this transaction for a specific company code, the FI transaction data of that company is deleted. Because of the procedure to keep FI and CO in line, also the CO data has te be deleted.
    But you can not reset CO transaction data for one company code. You have to reset CO transaction data for a whole controlling area.
    If you can not delete the FI and CO transaction data for a specific G/L account in one company code, you can not delete that G/L account.
    There exists another solution for the deletion of FI and CO transaction data for one company code, and thus for the deletion of G/L accounts?
    Thank you very much for your feedback.

    Helllo,
    I believe the account group information is what you get when loading hierarchies. Please look into the hierarchy extractor 0GL_ACCOUNT_T011_HIER.

    Hi ,
    As far i know it is not possible to have two different address for the same company code.As table can hold only single unique data.
    As far as the above answer is concerned, we use International version fo Customers not for Company Codes.
    Hope it helps.

  • More than one posting period variant for one company code

    Dear Colleagues,
    My question is if it's somehow possible to assign more than one posting period variant to one company code?  (I am not a FI specialist...)
    (We are using the new GL and would like to define a special posting period interval for a non-leading ledger. The c.codes already exists and are already assigned to a posting period variant.)
    The reason for why we would need an additional posting period variant for an existing c.code, is because we are already using both posting period intervals in t.code OB52.)
    Best regards    
    Viveka Schwartz

    Hi
    You can assign a PPV to the Non Leading ledger separately.. That means both Leading and NOn Leading ledgers can have separate PPVs
    Apart from this, no 3rd PPV is possible.. As Eli said, Validation is the only option, but I think Validations work for Leading ledgers only

  • Can we assign 2 credit control area for one company codes

    hi,
    sap gurus,

    Hi,
    we can have multiple credit control areas based on req-
    eg: client wants to restrict customer based on divisoin wise.
    then we will maintain credit control area based on sales area
    there 3 division in a comp: AA -BB - CC
    thens sales areas will be:
    1000-10 -AA
    1000-10-BB
    1000-10-CC ( assuming therez one sales org-1000 & dc 10)
    now create 3 cr control areas- OB45
    Assign sales area to cr Control area - OVFL
    Assign permitted credit control areas to comp code - IMG- FA- AR&AP- Credit Management- Credit control account - Assign permitted credit control areas to comp code.
    Now you can assign this Cr CA- by sales area wise in CMR & maintain the credit limits for each Cr CA.
    So when ever your needs wants to do it by division or sales area wise you can do this.
    Thanks,

  • Multiple currencies under one company code for contracts

    Gooday!
    We have a new schenario ( In RE-FX) where we have a couple of contracts which were negotiated with the landlord that needs to be settled in Rand, whilst the company code are setup for another currency, which is dollar (caters for the bulk of the contracts). So each time you create a new contract the currency is already greyed out (Dollar), which obviously means that it cannot be changed there.
    Apparently the company code can be setup in FI to accommodate secondary currencies, however, this seems not to be the case in RE-FX.
    My question is this, is it possible to have multiple currency contracts under one company code in RE-FX, and if so, do one set it up in FI or RE-FX?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Conditions in Foreign Currency (New)
    As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enterprise Extension Financials, Enhancement Package 2 (EA-FIN 602), Business Function Real Estate (RE_GEN_CI_1), you can enter conditions for contracts, rental objects, or contract offers that are in a currency that differs from the local currency of the company code.
    You can enter the currency directly when processing conditions. You can also enter a currency translation rule in the posting term. The rule is then used for all conditions to which this posting term is assigned.
    You specify in Customizing which currency translation rules are allowed for each contract type and usage type.
    See SAP Note 123819.

  • Tax code optional in document type for one company code

    Hello experts,
    Is it possible to make tax code optional in a document type only for one company code.  If yes kindly explain me the process in detail. 
    Regards,
    P.Krishna Chaitanya.

    Hi
    If I understand your requirement correctly  that for a particular document type, the line item should not contain a tax code, while for other Document Types, it should have a tax code. Note, the logic for making tax code optional/mandatory is made through the field tax category in the GL Master and not through the field status. further Build in a validation rule, using a logic as follow:
    BKPF-BLART IN "SET NAME"
    Check BSEG-MSKWZ<> ' '
    Set an Error message
    You can also create a subsitituion rule for populating tax code with a blank value if a particular doc type is used.
    BKPF-BLART in 'SET NAME"
    Substitute BSEG-MSKWZ= ' '
    You may need to allow tax code as a field to be substituted in the maintainence view of table GB01 using T Code SM30 for boolean class 9

  • Multiple dispute case types for one company code

    Hi Experts
    I am trying to design a solution for external system interfacing with SAP FSCM. Requirement is to create dispute cases for short pays automatically using program FDM_AUTO_CREATE (which is normal standard SAP process). We are also creating complaints in third party system based out of our data from SAP. When these are getting created in third party, we need to interface back into SAP and create Dispute (against compalint created in third party). I am thinking of using program FDM_AUTO_CREATE to create disputes based on company code/document number/fiscal year/line item etc.
    To differentiate between disputes and complaints i am proposing to create new case type (other than dispute case type) and have its own number range assigned to it, so that it can be easily recognised in SAP. But as per standard SAP setting one company code can have only one default case type assigned to it and whenever i create cases using FDM_AUTO_CREATE, system always picks up only one case type.
    Is there any standard setting so that system can create complaint cases in SAP with different case type (other than default dispute case type) while using auto create program?
    Thanks in advance
    Aleem

    This is an common question when implementing SAP TCM for trade promotions where claims/ disputes go to CRM for approval.
    We have overcome this by leaving the standard dispute case type in the default settings. We then activate a BAdI - FDM_AR_DEF_CASE_TYPE. We create a Z table that we linked to in the BAdI - that had company code and reason code - and put the additional case type in the table linked to a reason code. By adding a reason code (FI-AR) to the specific items, when you create the dispute it will call the BAdI and table and use the extra dispute case type as opposed to the standard one.

  • One Account Statement for customer present in more than one company code.

    Hi all,
    We have requirement of printing one account statement for customer present in more than one company code.
    Program RFKORD10 generates more than one statements for customer present in more than one company code.
    Please suggest if any customiztion or program changes need to be done for above issue.
    Thanks.

    If customer is present in more than one company code then you can config in different co codes.
    Now could you brief your requirement, i think you want to print only once and system should print in both company codes at one time. Is it like that?

  • Is third-party SO/PO  process possible using only one company code?

    Hi friend,
    1) my client wants to implement third-party PO process but also wants a way of keeping track of inventory during this process. I know that inventory should be tracked on the vendor side and not on our client side since we're doing third-party PO.
    However my client wants to track inventory (in an inventory g/l account like 120100) so that when my client post a Goods Receipt, the inventory account
    gets Debited and when client post  the outgoing invoice to customer, the inventory account gets Credited. In this way, my client can track
    if the customer have received the ordered item or not.
    The problem is that third-party PO posts to consumption account but DOES NOT post to inventory account. Is there any way of
    setting this up so that in addition to posting to comsumption account every time a Goods Receipt occurs?
    2) i tried to create "Individual Purchase Order" (customer order from client -> client order from
    vendor -> vendor ships item to client -> client then ships item to customer) so that posting will hit inventory account.
    However, i find that taking this approach involves setting up a Plant for vendor (A), a Plant for our Client (B), and a Plant for Customer (C).
    Because when i do a Goods Receipt, the stock has move from Plant A to Plant B. Then when i do a Goods Issue to the customer, it asks for the receiving plant. I assume this means that the stock moves from Plant B to Plant C.  
    Also, from the reading i did on the forum, i get the impression that i need to create more than one Company Code if i were to do
    third-party PO.  Do the Vendors have to be created in a different company code then the Customer? Or does it mean that Just the
    plant (like Plant A) needs to be created in a different Company Code then Plant B and Plant C?
    3) can i do third-party PO using only ONE company code?
    Can anyone provide some clarification on this issue? I've read tons of posting but none really helped clear  this issue up.
    Thanks so much.

    Dear Kishore,
    Individual PO processing is not third party process at all. In third party process the vendor delivers the goods dirctly to the customer - please check what SAP help says.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/dd/5601d4545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm
    Dear Queyen,
    One important point of third party process is that there's no need to keep stock of materials - that is in harmony with reality. Why does your customer want to keep stock from the goods if they doesn't receive at all? Is it coreect? It doesn't correspond to the fact.
    You can do statistical (ghost) GR against the third-party PO and you can see the goods movement in MB51 - I think this should be enough.

  • Copying sales order from one company code to other

    Hi,
    I am trying to copy one sales order data from one company code to another, all the details should be same other than the company code and some fields , for this I am using std BAPI Getdetail to get all the details of sales order and passing to BAPI, CREATE FROM DAT2 , so that I create new order.
    When I check the new order, I see everything same but CANCEL DATE value in the ITEM Overview is not copied, I checked the original order , it has cancel date value. The order is an AFS order with AFS tabs.
    I Checked the BAPI GET Detail FM, it doesn't retrieve that information, moreover it doesn't have that field ( J3_ACADA) in the ITEM structure. I can see cancel date value in VBAP. The ITEM structure in CREATE FROM DAT2 also doesn' have that field.
    I can populate using USER_EXIT but I need to get the value from original order.
    How to copy the cancel date value to new order.It should happen only for the orders which I run through this report.
    Any suggestions let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi Uma,
    As my understand, the couple Tcode FS15 and FS16 is used to copy GL master data from in same client or different client.
    The file attract from FS15 will be stored in SAP, not in your local computer.
    And when you run FS16, the system will file this file and upload it.
    Here is selection screen in FS15, you can determine the file name, and keep the batch input name as default.
    After executed, the file is generated with message like below
    Then, go to tcode FS16 with parameter:
    You can untick "Check file only" for Production run.
    When you execute it, the batch input RFBISA20 is generated.
    After that, you go to tcode SM35 to check the batch input RFBISA20, excute this batch input here and check the log.

    HI,
    Are Business areas/Division of this customer same?
    Reference number and allocation numbers are transferred to accounting documents.In customizing for copy control in billing,you can define which numbers will be copied as reference or allocation numbers.
    Like - Sales order number,delivery number and Billing documents etc...
    From sales order number you can know sales organization.
    The reference number is in the header of the accounting document and is used for clearing.
    The allocation number is in the customer line item and is used for sorting line numbers.

    hi,
    I am trying to create a Stock Transport Order (STO) with document type UB and item category U. My objective is to transfer material from Plant (supplying plant) 100 to Plant (receiving plant) 1100 within one company code (1000) with STO.
    For this purpose I created a raw material 1434 in plant 1000 with sales org 1 view and in that view entered in delivering plant field 1000 as delivery plant. After that I extended material 1434 to plant 1100 without changing anything what I did while creating the material first in Plant 1000 except in organizational level I entered 1100 in the plant field. I entered Sales org 1000 and distribution channel 10 in organization level for both plant while creating and extending the material. In me21n I chose Stock Transport Order with document type UB and item category as U also receiving Plant as 1100. With this when I tried to save the STO the message, I am getting an error,  Cannot determine shipping data for the material 1434? 
    I am doing solely mm function why I need to create Customer master? In this case plant 1100 is the customer right? 
    Solution:
    1. Mat.(1434) should be maintained in both the plants. (1000&1100).
    2. Should have enough stock in supplying plant(1000).
    3. Make its supplying plant as a vendor in vendor master record in receiving plant(1100).
    4. Make it receiving plant as a customer in customization.  
        Create customer (xd01) & and define the shipping data for plants in both the plants.
        Path: spro u2013 img u2013 m.mgmt u2013 purchasing u2013 po u2013 set up STO u2013 define shipping data (1 by1 )
        In Receiving plant (1100)                         In Supplying plant (1000)
        Customer num.  123345 (for ex.)              Customer num.  -
    (don't fill) 
        Sales org.yyy                                                  
        Dist. Channel                                                              
        Sales div.  y   
    5. Assign doc. Type is "NL" for intra company STO. If  STO is inter company, Assign doc. Type is "NLCC".
        Position doc type is "UB"
        Enter supplying plant(1000) & doc type (NL) & checking rule (ex:01)
    6. Assign doc. Type is "UB" to u'r plants.(PO)
        Go for new entries 
        Enter supplying plant(1000) & Receiving plant (1100) & doc type (UB).
    7. Create a PO, choose the doc type is `UB' & item cat.'U', Enter supplying plant as a vendor in PO  of the receiving plant(1100).
    8. Provide this num (PO) to SD people, they will do the delivery by using transactional code is VL10B.
    9. Sales people they will provide "out bound delivery num".
    10. Do the GR. In GR the second tab 05 out bound delivery instead of PO mov.type 101.
    11. See the stock over view in the receiving & supplying plants.
