Maintain controlling area

Hi Guys,
When i am trying to maintain the controlling area I am getting the following error. I am trying to use the copy function when trying to create the controlling area and it is giving the following message
"You can only copy or replace object area in structure mode"
How can we create the controlling area.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Hi All,
I am also getting the same error, mentioned below.
You can only copy or replace object Controlling area in structure mode
Message no. CZ448
Diagnosis
You can only copy or replace the organizational object Controlling area in structure mode, because multiple object dependencies need to be considered.
System Response
The action cannot be carried out in single mode.
Procedure
Copy or replace the org. object in structure mode. Choose "Structure" and select a suitable enterprise structure from "Templates" or enter your own choice in "Navigation".
I tried to create controlling area many times with same procedure but system always shows same error which i had mentioned above.
Chart of accounts & fiscal year variant are same of both controlling area 0001 & company code 0001. Also company code 0001 is assigned to controlling area 0001.
Still i am getting this error every time when i create controlling area.
Steps which i am following while creating controlling area are - Enterprise Structure - Definition - Controlling - Maintain Controlling Area. In last step i am creating controlling area in activity "Copy, Delete, Check Controlling Area".
Please advice solution for the same.
Earliest reply would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Prafful Kansal

Reagrds,
venkataswamy

Hi Venkataswamy,
First you should set your controlling area to your controlling area with the help of TCode OKKS.
Once you have set the controlling area, Goto the TCode KE59 where you can create the dummy profit center master record.
After you create it you can go and see in TCode 0KE5 controlling area settings that your dummy profit center field is filled with the one you created in KE59.
Hope this helps you....

Company code Vs controlling area.

Hi Friends,
Please let me know if i can assign one company code to multiple controlling areas.
If no how do i know which company code aviliable to assign.
Regards,
krishna.

Hi,
It is not possible.
CONTROLLING AREA:Controlling Area is a Organizational unit that represents a closed system for Cost Accounting purpose.
To this purpose you need to maintain Controlling Area. To this Controlling Area you need to activate the components of
Controlling for a fiscal year.
To this Controlling are you have to assign your Company Code. A Controlling Area may be used 2 or more Company Codes.
That is called CROSS COMPANY CODE COST A/C. If you are using common Controlling Area for 2 or more Company Codes then you
need to maintain consistency of the following.I.
CHART OF A/C                : must be same for all Company Codes.II.
FISCAL YEAR                  : must be same for all Company Codes.III.
PERIOD & CLOSING              : must be done at the same time.
currency                      : it may be different.
for one controlling area you can maintain multiple Company Codes but for one Company code you can maintain only one
controlling area.
let me know if u need more information.

Controlling area

hy sap gurus,
whenever creating controlling area, the system asks wheter controlling area = company code, (or) cross compamny code transation,
my question is the controlling area at company code level then u select 1st option, for u r doing cross company code trans action u select 2nd option. here we have to maintain controlling area company level (not company code level and not cross company code trans) what to do.
pl explain.
with regards
raja sekahr.a

Hi,
Controlling Area to Company Code relationship can be 1:n i.e. you can assign multiple company codes to a single controlling area.
COCd --> Controlling Area settings dictates following:
1) If you select Controlling Area = Company Code, you can have only 1:1 relationship between controllign area and company code i.e. you cannot assign multiple company code with this controllign area.
2) If it is cross company code, then you can have 1:n relationship between controlling area and company code. I would recommend this setting as it allows flexibility to assing another company code to the same controlling area in future, if required.
Hope this helps. Pls award points if this is useful.

Hi,
Go to maintain controlling area. Double click it then in assignment control maintain " cross - company-code cost accounting. Then try to give controlling area currency as 20.
Now you try to post the document in USD. If it does not happen...no other clue...
That is why at the time of original implementation among many things Currency type & currency also to be discussed and frozen out.

Controlling area currency - urgent

Hi,
In a project we are using Controlling Area Currency as INR. As our group company is europe based they want us to change to EUR. We are also using PCA where currency is INR. I want to know the pros and cons of changing the same to EUR from INR.
Bye,
Ramesh

Hello
Check this if it could help you
When you create a controlling area, you specify whether the controlling area currency may differ from the company code currency, and which particular currency is to be the controlling area currency.
You can use the company code currency or the currency of a different organizational unit recorded as a parallel currency in the company code. You can also use a separate controlling area currency not dependent on the company code currency.
Cross-company code cost accounting can therefore be performed for company codes that use values recorded in different currencies. SAP recommends that you specify a consistent parallel currency for the company codes, and use this as the controlling area currency. In this case, postings in Controlling are made that are relevant for Accounting.
The following currencies are valid in Controlling:
· Controlling area currency
The system uses this currency for cost accounting. This currency is set up when you create the controlling area. It is based on the assignment control indicator and the currency type.
(see: Specifying Controlling Area Currency )
· Object currency
Each object in Controlling, such as cost center or internal order, may use a separate currency specified in its master data. When you create an object in CO, the SAP system defaults the currency of the company code to which the object is assigned as the object currency. You can specify a different object currency only if the controlling area currency is the same as the company code currency. There is an object currency for the sender as well as one for the receiver.
· Transaction currency
Documents in Controlling are posted in the transaction currency. The transaction currency can differ from the controlling area currency and the object currency. The system automatically converts the values to the controlling area currency at the exchange rate specified.
The system always translates actual data with the average rate (exchange rate type M).
You store the exchange rate type for each currency. You can specify a different exchange rate type for planning data in the version.
All three currencies are saved in the totals records and the line items. This enables you to use the different currencies for evaluations in the information system. This is only possible if you specified that all currencies should be updated for the given controlling area (see: Maintain Controlling Area).
The transaction currency is USD, the controlling area currency is EUR, and the object currency is SFR (Swiss francs). The system converts the amounts as follows:
1.) From transaction currency to controlling area currency (USD ® EUR)
2.) From controlling area currency to object currency (EUR ® SFR)
The following additional currencies may also appear as controlling area currencies in Controlling if you use cross-company code cost controlling:
Local Currency:
Company code currency (country currency) used for local ledgers in external accounting.
For each company code you can specify one or two parallel currencies (= second and third local currencies) which are stored in the documents and updated parallel to the local currency in the general ledger.
Group Currency:
Currency in which the group balance sheet is displayed.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code.
Hard Currency:
Secondary currency for countries with high inflation. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the hard currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Index-Based Currency:
Country-specific, fictitious currency stipulated in certain countries with high inflation for tax returns. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the index-based currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Global Company Currency:
Currency used in a corporate group. In the CO application component you can create companies to represent divisions, regions, or product groups.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to store the global company currency in the detail screen for the corresponding company.
For more information on defining parallel currencies, see Customizing under Financial Accounting ® FI Global Settings ® Company Code ® Parallel Currencies ® Defining additional local currencies.

Procedure
Ensure that the fiscal year variants of the controlling area and the assigned company codes agree. If necessary, maintain the fiscal year variants.
Please suggest me how to proceed further in this case.
thanks
kareem

Hi Kareem
What you are doing is not correct
All comp codes under the Contrr Area must have same FYV and same Ch of accounts
1. Go to IMG and assign same FYV to the 3rd comp code
2. Go to IMG > FI (New) > Global Settings > Ledgers > Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers
Here, activate parallel ledger for this 3rd comp code and assign the other FYV in the parallel ledger
Also maintain the Doc No ranges for parallel ledger because your FYV will be different between Main and Parallel ledger
