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.
Regards,
Ravi

Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display

Hello Expert,
I have a problem with authorization in MDG-F.
I want to create Account with Collective processing. After, entered Entity type, Edition and Chart of account, Blocking message "Data model 0G: No authorization for entity type Account (Company Code) - activity Display" is displayed.
But, i checked in PFCG transaction, for this user profil, activity are : create or generate, Change and display. So, for me , it is correct.
Please, check screen shot below :
Blocking message :
and in PFCG transaction
Could you help me to solve this point?
Kind regards,
Heri RAOELISON

Hi Heri,
the system behavior is correct. The account in company code consists of three entity types:
1) COA - Chart of Accounts (Type 3)
2) ACCOUNT - Account (A-Segment, related to ECC table SKA1, Type 1)
3) ACCCCDET - Account in Company Code (B-Segment, releated to ECC table SKB1, Type 1).
3) includes 1) and 2) whereas 2) includes 1). If you grant authorization only for 3) but not for 1) and 2), you cannot do anything.
Best regards
Michael

Delete data company code FS-CD

Hello,
I've a question concerning deletion of company code data in our system.
We have several company codes active in our production system.
Now, we've sold one company and want to clean-up our system.
How can we remove all master and transactional data (FS-CD + FI) concerning this company code in our system?
Is there a standard way doing this?
Thanks in advance.
Noël Vanderhoven.

Hi Noël,
You can delete the unwanted company codes from your system.
To do so, go to IMG >Enterprise Structure > Definition > Financial Accounting > Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code.
Transaction code EC01.
Also review program SAPF020 (transaction OBR1).
Carefully read all documentations.
regards,
David

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.
OBY6
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

Activating Extended Withholding Tax - New Company Code

Hello Gurus, I have a question regarding Extended Withholding Tax that I have not previously seen addressed.
My client is live on ECC 6.0 EHP 5 and would like to activate Extended Wittholding Tax for its Colombian company code which is not yet live.
All existing company codes on the same client are using Classic Withholding Tax, where withholding is needed. This is working well in many countries around the world, but will not satisfy the Colombia legal requirements.
Since Extended Withholding Tax is activated by company code, do we need to perform the Withholding Tax Changeover / Data Conversion steps for all existing entities live on SAP with Classic Wittholding?
Keep in mind that we do not plan to activate Extended Withholding Taxes in any other company code that already has productive data unless we absolutely must.
However, previous questions asked of this nature (and the SAP documentation) had ambiguous replies about whether other Existing company codes are impacted (and must be converted) as a result of activating EWT for a brand new company code with no existing master data or transactional data to be converted.
Thanks for your help.
Guy

Hi Guy,
I believe that you can use extended Withholding tax for new company code without impacting the existing company code with classic WHT configured as my belief is extended WHT is activated at company code level.
Probably you can try to configure colombia in your development system and do some testing for Colombia and negative testing for few company codes with classic WHT.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav

Release BDC in SM35 in background, How to set defaul company code?

Hi There,
    I came across one problem of BDC session release in background.
    Currently my session always fails due to the company code not correct.
    How can I change the default company code in background?
    Thanks!

Hi Brad Bohn,
    Sorry for the late reply.
    Currently, I want to retire multi asset using transaction code ABAVN and ABAON.
    I want to run the BDC session in background, hence even I can pupup a dialog to input company code, I can not choose to do so because BDC session can not run in background if there is pup up dialog to fill in field. For example, if you upload data from local PC, you should choose the path, and there is a dialog pup up to let you choose the path, then in this case you can not run in backround.
Instead, I use bellowing code to set default company code.
SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
But the problem is, above setting can only influence foreground. I have 4 test for background BDC.
Assum there are 2 company code A and B.
Currenly our system default company code is A. ( I don't know why, it was A).
I run a BDC session which belongs to A, then I change the global parameter, to let SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
to 2 cases: the company code set to A and the company code set to B. In those 2 cases, in background, the BDC always success.
I have another test, I run one BDC which should run in company code B. I also change the SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs to be A or to be B. In those 2 cases, in bacground, the BDC always fail.
My question is, how to change the default company from A to B?
Thanks!

Best Practice Question - Activate Company Code - Open client or transport?

Hello.
When activating Company Codes in a newly productive system, is it best practice to do it directly in an open client, or to change the setting via transport?
Thanks and Regards,
D Flores

What do you mean by activating company code?
Is it productive check box you are talking about in OBY6.
If so, open client for manual change, make the setting and put it back the client settings.

Unwanted G/L Codes in a new Company Code

We at Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. have created a New Company Code 0114 - Pantaloon Food Products India Ltd.
The same has been created by copying an existing Company Code 0101- Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.
While doing it some unwanted G/Ls have been copied and been transported to Production.
Now no transaction has been done in any of the G/Ls in the Company Code.
We are proposing to delete these G/Ls by following method:
1.Making Company Code non productive thru OBR3.
2.Deletion of G/L for the specific Co. Code thru OBR2.
We want to know if it is technically the correct way of doing it.Will there be any adverse impact on the functional aspects of the system.
Can the G/Ls be re created, if needed, at a later date?
With Rgds.,
Rakesh Kumar
09324847499

Hi,
I presume, both of these companies use the same chart of accounts, right? If it's only several G/Ls, I'd suggest to mark them for deletion or block them in Company Code. Of course, you will be abrle to create the m again (FS00) or unblock them in the future.

Merging of two company codes.

Dear SAP consultants,
At present there are two company codes ( lets say 1000 and 2000 ) which have different plants assigned to them. Now company code 1000 is merging into company code 2000.
Please guide me what are the configurations to be done with respct to MM module.
Thanks & Regards.
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
If company code 1000 is merging into company code 2000, then you need to create new plants to represent the "old plants" in the new company. If you copy the old plants, that will also copy their customizing, so no special customizing should be needed, except for assignment to company code 2000 obviously.
I would not dare to change the plant -> company code assignation in a productive system.
To move all the stock from company 1000 to company 2000, the logical way is to sell all of it to company 2000, so you will have Sales Orders in company 1000 and Purchase Orders in company 2000.
The materials will needed to be extended to work in the new plants. If you do that by copying from the "old" plant, then you are guaranteed to have the same information at the master data level.
Hope it helps,
Best Regards,

Calculate the database size for a particular company code in SAP

Hi Experts,
We have 30 company codes in our FI production system. So to plan another new company code to be deployed into the system, we need to know exact data capacity (database) of the previous company code that we already deployed. Kindly let me know whether it possible to calculate the database size occupied for a particular company code in a SAP system.

Its not possible to calculate data size based on company code.
By creating company code It will not occupy much space. Depends on your posting documents for particular company codes.

Institution assignment to company code

Each medical clinic in the hospital is legally related to a different company code.
A patient's case includes services from a few medical clinics.
The system permits connection of an institution (in ISH) to one company code only.
We understand that it is better to create one institution in ISH to allow a case surveillance.
That means:
1. We should create all cost centers, which represent medical clinics, in the same company code.
2. The case base order will be created in the same one company code.
This is not in line with the legal requirements
Do you have any suggestion how to overcome this obstacle? , I am sure that there is a standard solution to handle with this issue.
Best Regards,
Yael

Hi,
To clarify further, Do you create different chart of accounts for each Medical clinics. I believe that it is still under the same group chart of accounts.
To find a feasible solution, I need to understand the organization structure. I am not able to understand your problem
Structure is very important. Here is one way of maintaining.
Service --> Activity (One to One, One to Many, Many to One, Many to Many)
Activity --> Cost Centre
Cost Centre --> GL code

COMPANY CODE vs. PLANT

Hi guys,
My company is building a new plant. They are in the process of deciding whether to create a new company code or create a new plant in SAP. I need to know the advantages and disadvantages of both options. Finally, I need to know which one is the best choice in your opinion.
Thanks
Moiz

Kamal,
I feel as if I'm bothering you. I just have one last ?. How do you do postings in FI? Normally, you do postings through the company code. Since we are designating the plant under the company code and setting up the plant as a profit center. How can we do postings in FI.
Also, I am doing a presentation to the business, to convince them of why we should do a plant instead of a company code. Do you have any other points I could use to convince them that the plant is better than the company code. And could you play devil's advocate and tell me what kind of things they might say to defend their "old time view" of setting the plant up at a company code?
Thank you very much for your help,
Your points will be rewarded
Moiz
Not at all. U can define ur Plant as a separate PC and all ur materials can be assigned to this PC. Further ur Plant can be divided in to several cost center and these cost center can be assigned to this PC. When u are making postings to FI u need to assign it to a cost cent or other objects which is turn will populate the PC on the basis of the assignment u made to these cost objects. Every cost objects created in this plant will have the assignment to this PC by this way u can effect postings to this PC and hence the PL account for this PC.
This will be a good link for understanding the assignment

COPA Assessment - settlement to different Company codes char. values

Hi,
I have some doubts about the COPA assessment possibilities.
I have such a case - where there is one common Controlling area for 3 company codes.
The company code is a characteristic used in my Operating Concern.
I would like to have such a possibility to run the assessment of Administration Cost center in Company code 1 - that would settle its costs to Characteristic values - a group of product indexes and to all company codes (not only to products sold in company code 1, but also in 2 and 3). Is it possible to do it in COPA assessment - or will the system give a warning or error message when trying to settle cost from CC in one comany code to characteristic values in different company codes.
The key I would use for settlement would be the COGS value field.
Best wishes,
Karol

The characteristics Company code, Business area and Profit center are handled differently depending on whether they are specified explicitly in the segment.
If you do not specify them as receiver characteristics, they are copied automatically from the sender to the receiver profitability segments. If you use the receiver rule "Variable portions", the tracing factors are aggregated over all company codes, business areas and profit centers.
If you explicitly specify the characteristics as receivers, distribution occurs using the receiver rule. In particular, cross-company-code, cross-business-area or cross-profit-center postings can be created if the characteristics specified for the sender differ from those entered explicitly for the receiver. In this case, the tracing factors used for the receiver rule "Variable portions" are selected for that particular company code, business area or profit center.
