Hi,
This is related to Merging of Two Companies in SAP in CRM Perspective.
You can approach the problem in the following way:
1. Create a function module which can accept two parameters a) Parent Company and b) Child Company
2. Now get all the activities of the child company by entering the partner number of the child company and the OBJECT_TYPE = 'BUS2000126' in the table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX.
3. Call the function module BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_CHANGEMULTI and change the partner of all the activities to the partner number of the parent company.
4. Call BAPI_ACTIVITYCRM_SAVE and then BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
Follow the same procedure for reassigning the contact details of the child company to the parent company. You will have to use different set of function modules here.
After reassgning all the details to the parent company delete the child company using the function module BUP_BUPA_DELETE.

Another Example of merging Project:
The Merger project involved three diferent companies from two different countries. When you merge HR you should pay attention to following:
=> Define the complete enterprise structure that covers the business requirements: Company codes, Personal Area, Personal Subarea, Employee group, Employee subgroup and payroll area.
HOW to define the enterprise structure:
=> Analyse the business requirements from the 6 companies:
1. Will the FI/CO be treated as an entities per company. This determines how many company codes and payroll areas will be needed;
2. Number of payroll areas is also determined if the 6 companies are from different countries, if the salary dates will be differents and if there are diferent payment periods;
3. Time management requirements. Are there rules that are applicable only to certain group of employees? For example: Overtime payment is only for employees in the plant. Offices workers earn additional rest hours when they work overtime, etc...
4. Payroll requirements. The salary structure are different for a different group of employees? For example: Expatriates salaries has an host and home componenet on there salary with diferent tax implications. When the local employees do not have that split.
Answers to 3. and 4. will determine the Number and structure of personal area/subarea and employee group/subgroup...
Hope this helps,
