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,

Testing strategy after legal merge of two company codes

Hi All,
This is my first integration project. Please help me out with my query:
My company is going through a merger and we have merged two company codes.
for e.g. company code 1 is in ABC company and company code 2 is in XYZ company. ABC is buying XYZ company. This means that company code 1 will remain and company code 2 will merge into company code 1. They are going to bring in the open line item AR/AP data from company code 2 into company code 1.
Any of you guys who have worked on an integration project before please guide me to some documents online or state some kind of testing strategy to adopt to test after the legal merge has taken place. I am mostly looking for a strategy to test intercompany process.
Thanks,
MS

Hi
There are lot of issues that you need to take care of:
1. is there any relation bwteeen the two company codes before merger. have they done any transactions between them? If yes, what wewould be the accounting treatment for the same. Would it be transferred at cost or Cost+Price (Transfer Price)
2. If you are in India, there would be effects of taxation like excise and vat calculations
3. One of the most important issue, is that of the new fiscal year. What strategy would you follow for the merged entity? In Sap, changing a fiscal year is a critical issue. Request you to refer SAP Help for the same. There are notes available for the same
4. What would be the strategy for Asset valuations? Are there different asset valuation procedures followed in the two company codes?
Thanks & regards

Merge two company codes

Hi All,

for e.g. company code 1 is in ABC company and company code 2 is in XYZ company. ABC is buying XYZ company. This means that company code 1 will remain and company code 2 will merge into company code 1. Currently they feed account cumulative balances from company code 2 into company code 1. But they want to stop that and move out the current balances and bring open line item data.
I want to find out some kind of strategy on how to move the current balances and bring in the open line item AR/AP data from company code 2 into company code 1.
Please help me out with this.

hi,
Check the possibility of uploading the balances of the merging company code into the existiong company code. For this you may have to to some customization like asset transfer date & have to uplaod the master data.

Merging two company codes

Dear All,
We have two company codes with in the same company. In going forward we are going to discontinue one company code. Each company code is having 14 manufacturing plants. We want to merge these 14 plants to single company code.
Kindly suggest which are the possibilities are available and which one is better for FI and MM point of view.
Regards
Venkey

Dear,
Execution of this really a though provoking but to breif you the overview.....
FI Consideration.
You will have transfer entire trial balance to the other company code ensure the balance in company code is zero.
MM Consideration.
Only one company code can be assinged to one plant. One plant can not have more that one company code. You may have to create a dummy plant to transfer all the material and once material quantities in transferee plant is zero, you can deattach plant to the other company code and redo the activity.
For MM activities, please work with your MM counterpart and take his/her expert advise.

Merging two company codes at sales organization levels

Hello Guru's,
I am working on a complex project, the client wants to merge two company codes at sales organization level. Will anyone guide me the procedure to do it.
Regards,
PV

One Sales Organization can be assigned to only One Company Code.
One Company Code can have several Sales Organization assigned to it.
Hence, it is not possible to merge two Company Code to one Sales Organization.

Operating concern for two company code with different currency

Hi,
We are merging two company code into one SAP server.
We decide to use on chart of account, and to use one operating concern.
For company code A: the currency is CNY, for company code B: the currency is TWD. The operating concern currency is:CNY.
So i need to in KEA0(maintain operating concern) active company code currency, right?
So every posting in company code B will be posted in TWD and CNY to COPA same item, right?
In KE30 report, where to add characters: Currency type that i can show company code B report in TWD?
Thanks.

Dear David,
Yes. If you have different compancy codes within one controlling area, you have to maintain currency type with 10-Company code currecny and while maintaining the operating concern also you have to choose the company code currency only. Then only you will get the reports with respect of your company code currecny level. This will be basing on your company code-sales organisation, plants and other charcters assignment basis in your configuration.
All the best,

One vendor for two company codes

Hi Frds,
I have two company codes and i create a vendor which is applicable to both the company code.Is it required for me to create separate Payable reconciliation GL account for each company codes or creation of one common recco account is enuf.
Please elaborate on this as am new to this..
Thanks,
Rashmi Ravi

Dear all,
SAP allows You to create a customer / vendor master data that contains information that is valid for all the Company code --> into General data.
Then there is a part, Company Code data, where You can define specific details for each Company Code.
The transaction is the same FD01 or FK01.
I hope this helps You.

Different Bank charges GL account for two company codes with same COA

Hi,
While configuring OBXK ( Automatic GL account for bank charges) , I see there is provision to enter only one GL account per chart of accounts.
We have two company codes using same chart of accounts but different bank charges GL account. Please tell me how to configure this.
Thanks,
suresh

Hi,
Thanks Krishnan and Chandra.
I agree with you it could be the same GL account for bank charges, but the business requirement is such that in one of the two company codes, bank charges are required to be tracked separately to be subsequently transferred to the other company code. This means two separate GL accounts are required for two company codes which needs to be configured in OBXK.
Hope this clarifies my query further.
thanks,
suresh

Can I create a single PO for two company codes

Hi
Can I create a single PO for two company codes. Though I know that Company code is assigned at header level but still I know there is a setting in controlling which when activated two company codes under same controlling area can procure the goods under the same PO.But i forget from where to activate that message or control in config.
Thanks

Hi Lekhram,
I'm just beginner so maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.
If you order something that something must belong to a definite company > plant. How could possess two company the same thing at the same time (totally)?
(companies are at the same organisational level - none of them is subject to the other).
Maybe I'm mistaken.
So I <b>guess</b> you can use only one company code for one PO.

Stock Transport Order between Two Company codes

Dear All
Scenario-- Stock transport order Between two company codes.
The valuation of Comapny Codes is at Moving Average Price.
I have a scenario
MAP of Issuing Plant-- Rs. 10 / kg
I am able to pick up the price of Rs.10 (MAP) of issuing plant while creating PO.
in receving plant.
At the time of Goods issu the MAP has changed & become Rs.12/kg. Hence the goods issue takes place at Rs.12/- perkg.
When we make GR at receiving plant ,the valuation of GR is at Rs.10 i.e at PO price.
Is it possible to have a GR valuation at Goods issue price for that delivery note?
Request Your feedback urgently.

The invoice has the material costs at time of goods issue.
You receipt is valuated to PO price. But when you post the invoice, then the MAP is adjusted,
By setting up EDI, SAP will probably post the invoice before the goods receipt is done, hence the GR should be valuated with the invoice price.
from Note 518368 - FAQ: Valuation for the purchase order;
With which price is the goods receipt posted for a purchase order?
Answer:
If the goods receipt is executed before the invoice receipt, the goods movement is valuated with the purchase order price. If an invoice is already posted, the system uses the price of the invoice. If a partial invoice is received, the partial quantity corresponding to the invoice is valuated with the invoice price, the rest is valuated with the purchase order price.
For more detailed information, refer to both the documentation of the material valuation and Note 380883.
see as well Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing

Same material master in two company codes with batch management

Hi,
There are two company codes in one client. In one batch management is already active. But in another company code batch management is not required. Is it possible to have batch management active in one company code and inactive in another company code where both the co. codes are in the same client? The same material master to be used in both company codes.
Thanks,
Satya.

Hi Satyabarata,
As far as you dont want to move the same materiel i.eStock Transfer with Inter comapy billing scenario then it will be fine.
If you try to Transfer a Batch manged material into a non batch manged CC it will work fine. But on the other hand when do via-versa the system will ask for the Batch information where the Batch management is active.
If you want to use same Material Master for both CC then its not advisable.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thx.

One customer / vendor used to share by two company codes

Hi experts,
is there any possibility to share same vendor or customer in two different company codes?
my client have two company codes 8000 and 9000 and that two company codes sharing the same customer /vendor XXXXX.
now they want to post the two company codes transactions to one customer/vendor.
means when we open the customer /vendor line items we should able to see two comapny codes transactions of that customer/vendor.
plz advice.
Thnaq,
sandhya.

yes it is the same way the SAP suggests- provided address is same.
SAP vendor / customer has got two segments -
General data - which is common for all company codes and is at client level data and stored in table KNA1 (customer) and LFA1 (vendor)
Co code data- which is specific to company code - create as many views for each co code which are specific to co code decisions and accounting - and is stored in KNB1 (customer) & LFB1 (Vendor)
In the same way Sales organisation and Purchase Organisation also stored separately.
For creating Co code data, enter existing customer/vendor code and type co code and it will allow u to create both data.
Hope this is of help to u

AP - One Check for Vendor from two Company Codes

Our Company would like to issue one check for a vendor in two company codes.
Configuration has the paying company code = sending company code.
So the payment proposal will want to create two checks, one for each company code.
Question --- Is there a way to generate one check for the one vendor in two company codes.
Thank you,
Jeffrey

Dear Jeffrey,
Let say there are two company codes 100 and 200, in the config, you will need to make paying company code for company code 100 = 100 and
Paying company code for company code 200 = 100.
you will need to set the Intercompany balancing account in Tcode OBYA.
Once you do this, the other process remains the same. Should you have questions, let me know.
Thanks
Raghuram
