Inactive field Company code in production

Hello all,
in the production system and in transaction PPOME I can change the value in field Company code (folder Account assignment) for the parent org. unit. If I select an org. unit which hangs from the parent, then the field is inactive and I cannot change the value. This is the same story for any other org. unit in deeper levels. This does not happen in development and test system.
I guess that this is a customizing topic but where exactly can I make the field Active ??
Thanks.

Please check the following switches in table T77S0

Risks when locking Prod in SCC4, but not setting Company Code to productive

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the risks related to not setting Company Codes to productive... even though the Production system is locked in SCC4. Will the lock in SCC4 mitigate the risk of not setting Company Codes to productive?
To my understanding, setting Company Codes to non-productive in the Production system would result in a risk for deleting financial data. I therefore wonder if defining the lock in SCC4 would compensate for this risk.
Regards
IT-auditor

I asked myself the same question.
The F1-help in SCC4 says the following:
"This field should be maintained by the customer for documentary purposes."
But also:
"- Production clients and SAP reference clients are protected from the client copy tools, including "Copy by Transport Request" (transaction SCC1).
- There is corresponding protection from the automatic Customizing Distribution and other tools.
- In a production client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" are excluded from a client lock or transport connection; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. Other clients usually require a transport request."
So, i think that the client role option is more a documentation thing. But also disables some client copy and automatic transport functionality. In my opinion it should be "production" on a production system because if not there are several functions activated that shouldn´t be for security reasons.
That´s what i think. Maybe someone can correct me or give more information to this thread.

SET COMPANY CODE TO PRODUCTIVE

Hi:
I'm setting the company code to productive, is it possible to include this configuration in a transport request. I am not able to do so as it doesn't ask for a transport request. The menu to manually assign them to a transport request is also grayed out.
Appreciate any input.
Regards
Hisham

Hi Mukta:
I do have authorization to configure in the development system but for this specific configuration, it didn't ask for the transport request.
I have done this configuration directly in Production system before since it should not be set to productive in the development system.
But I was just wondering if there's anyway to transport this across the system landscape.

Company Code not productive

While going through the system settings, I found that certain company codes are not having the status 'Company code not productive'. These company codes are in operation. I know that a company code in operation should be made productive so that programs will not get deleted by any change.
Can set the indicator 'company code productive' for all those company codes and move the changes to Production client ?

Dear,
There is nothing wrong if you set Company code productive latter after you went live. Information system auditor can may object if you do not set it productive because with this indicator unticked you can delete and reset GL Master data. You should ideally tick it and set it as productive.

Making the field "company code" mandatory

Hi SAP experts,
is it possible to make the field : company code, a mandatory one in the initial screen of XD01 transaction (create customer)? How?
Best regards,
Bahia.

Hi Bahia
How are you? Why no posts for a long time?
Making COMPANY CODE as a mandatory entry i think it is not possible with customization
This means you cant achieve this thro OBD2 or OB20 or OVT0
It is because SAP has given the provision of creating CMR only with general data and sales area data
With these two levels SD people can do most of their processes (t codeVD01)
Similarly SAP has given the provision of creating CMR only with general data and company code data
With these two levels FI people can do most of their processes( like that FI people also has t code to create CMR only with general data and company code)
These provisions where it is applied practically,, i dont know?
But thro development i think you can make each and any CMR you prepare it should be only with XD01 and that too in that Company code has to be made mandatory
Check with your technical team

Side effects set company code to productive on Live Production System

Dear All,
I have a question, are there any consequencies or side effects, if we set company code to prodcutive while the system already run for last 1 year.
Is there any SAP note reference for this matter?
Really appriciate for your help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Endi Pratama W.

If you do not put to productive then there is a problem.
You must put it to productive immediately. There will not be any side effects.

A company code which is working productively should be indicated here by an "X". This prevents deletion programs from resetting data in this company code by mistake

Does it hurt to type a few lines of code? Why do you need an FM for this my friend?
Anyways can you please tell which SAP application area (viz. FI, SD etc.) do you want to run the report?

Is Company Code Activation (Set to Productive) typically included in Mock Cutover

Hello.
In a typical mock cutover, is the setting of the Company Code to productive typically included?
Given that it can be re-set, I can't think of a down side to doing so. I'm just looking for what is standard practice.
Thanks.

Hi David,
The purpose of Company Code set to Productive is mainly to prevent any inadvertent deletion of data by the users like resetting depreciation data, deleting vendors / customers etc. For example, If one of your cut-over task is to delete the some of transaction data in your test system, then you need to remove this tick and delete and then put it back. It all depends on your requirements, how you want to use this field.
But, as far as production system is concerned, you MUST ensure you have selected this check box in OBY6 transaction code. Include this as a manual task in your cut-over plan. Otherwise, any inadvertent deletion of data would become very costly for the business.
Hope this helps.

Ravi

Need to add a new field to XD01 under company code data tab

Hi,
I need to add a new field under Company code data of XD01 under Account Management tab.
I came to know two BADI's CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA and CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS can be used for this. But for these BADIs we need to create a sub screen.But for my requirement I need not use a subscreen just to add a field.
Please let me know how to do this?

Hello Pavan,
Do you have any solution for this issue? I only can creat a new tab but hi prefer as you, creat a field Company code data of XD01 under Account Management tab.
I read that is not possible, this is true?

Company Code - Productive

Hi Friends,
We have many company codes for which in FA Global Settings, Company Code is productive indicator is not selected.
Now we want to activate this indicator. Is there any implication if we activitate it now considering that there are transactions which are already done.
Is there any negative effect by activating this?
Regards
Hari

As such there is no retrospective impact of setting company code to productive. It will imply that data can't be deleted from that point onwards.
Hence, you can do the same safely without any impact on old data in ur system.
If the answer satisfy ur query, please assign award points.

Company code field in cost center master data

I am trying to create some cost centers, but noticed that the company code field is not available for entry in the cost center master data. In other words, the company code field does not appear or is hidden. My understanding is that an entry in company code field in cost center master data is mandatory. Can someone advice as to what setting is missing?

Hi MG,
Appearance of the field "Company Code" in cost center master data depends on the following point...
In Controlling Area settings in OKKP, if you have opted for single company code, then, whatever the cost center you create under this controlling area is obviously belongs to that company code only. So, system will not display the filed "Company Code" in cost center master data.
If you have opted for cross-company code controlling in OKKP settings, then, when you create a cost center in that controlling area, then the system will give the field "Company Code" in cost center master data so that in which company code you need to create the cost center.
I hope u got it...

Sapf019 w/ productive setting on for company code - allows deletion

Good afternoon SCNers,
I am having somewhat of an issue and was wondering if anyone has had the same. I have read here and online elsewhere that by setting company code to productive, I should not be able to delete master data with program SAPF019. But yet, the message "company code is productive" is only informative. I thought that it should be an error message. Do I have to set the message F7104 to an error from information?
Does anyone know why this would be occurring?
Thx erik

There are standard individual transaction codes that are used to delete master data. As I alluded to previously, you can execute KA04, KS04, KKPV, OK05, AS06 and some others to delete master data. It is reasonable and justified to delete a record even if the company is productive. ex: someone could mistakenly create a record and want to delete that record number so that it can be reused again, or created again immediately with the correct attributes. Whether or not the company code is productive should not stand in the way of this.
To my knowledge, the treatment of the productive indicator is slightly different in different modules, but once it's productive, you can't execute the delete transaction data transaction codes such as OBR1, OKC3 and 0KE1. In some other modules, setting the company productive also disallows further legacy data takeover postings. But you should still be able to delete individual master data records.

Screenshot is attached.

Should I delete company code & then retry the same?
Please suggest how to reassign chart of accounts to company code as no data like customer, vendor or sales transaction is made.
Pl advise solution THANKS

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the answer. I have not copy any company code to my co. code 4040. Just as new entry I created 4040 company code. In Org object Check everything about table found OK. No seprate G/L A/C is created by me for co. code 4040
To see if company code is productive means Active? In "Enter Global Parameter? Tab-->Cost of Sales Accounting ACTV is 2. When I tried to make it Inactive (Blank), it is not allowing me and showing error msg as below.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
I checked this but asking for Application Area to put & I do not know hwat area I should put.
Am I going right as suggested by you?
I had deleted G/L accounts earlier but Sales Actg is active so sould not go ahead.
As per Venkat I had decided to delete company code, But I want to solve without deletion.
I am SD guy so asking many Qs of FICO as I am learning now.
Thanks
Reason why you are not able to delete the assignment is that, you have already created GL accounts for the COA. I hope you have not done any posting using those GL accounts.
First of all please make that you company code is not set as productive. if set prodictive you will not be able to delete any master data. So please remove the productive check(if any).
Then you try to delete the GL account that you have created for the COA. once you delete the GL account the system might ask for the deletion of the account group. After that you should be able to change the assignment.
