Mixing two company codes

Hi SAP experts
I have few questions related to Amalgamation of two company codes.
As per our business decision they want to Amalgamate two company codes 1234 and 5678 , This client has been using SAP since few years. what are the precautions which should be taken in this aspect with respect to payroll, so that it will not create any side effects in future and also how should be the coordination between HR and FI in this type of cases ??
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards
Renu

you do a transfer action to the new company code on the start date of the month and restrict the retro accounting before that date so that it will not do any posting to the old company code.

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

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,
This is my first integration project. Please help me out with my query:
My company is going through a merger and we want to merge 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. 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.

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,

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

Exchange Rate Maintenance for two company codes..

Friends,
My client is having two company codes
X = India
Y = USD
US Company code is live for the last few years and India Company code is created recently and the same is live now.
Now when the US company code creates Purchase Orders / Scheduling agreements, the following error is encountered.
"Enter rate INR/EUR rate type M for 31.07.2008 in the system settings.:"
Now my question to the forum is that
1. If we maintain the exchange rates in OB08 will there any other effect ?
2. Is this error because One more company code is added to the same client which is operating in INR ?
3. When US Company code is not all transacting with India Company Code why is this error encountered.
Appreciate if some one can explain the pros and cons of this please. I am basically an MM consultant and I would also like to know the FI impact in this scenario, hence posted this question in FI forum.
Regards

Hi,
At the time of initial installation SAP would make EUR as base currency, so any new company code you create needs to have an exchange rate defined to the base currency EUR.
In your case you can define exchange rate to EUR and process PO, as per my knowledge there will not be any impact of this.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

STO between two company codes

Hi,
we are doing the inter company process between two company codes.
i have one reference document,
1) how can we find the supplying plant sales area and receving plant sales area.
2)In spro settings "Assign sales organization - distribution channel u2013 plant" which one we need to assign here(supplying plant sales area or receving plant sales area).
3)In customer master record sales area tab which one we need to assign as a Delivering plant(supplying plant or receving plant)
please tell me anyone.
thanks,
pandu

Hi,
1. Are you referring to the config area of transaction area?
If config, then you can find the configured sales area of the supplying & receiving plant in IMG --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set Up Stock Transport Order --> Define Shipping Data for Plants (here you assign the relevant sales area to the relevant Supplying Plant and the created Customer number (in XD01) to the Receiving Plant. Thise customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the ship-to party if provision has been made in Customizing for a stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery). This sales area is to subsequently trigger the shipping point (based on shipping point determination) for delivery.
You also assign the supplying plant to a vendor. To do this, from the SAP menu choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Master Data --> Vendor --> Purchasing --> Create; on the screen for purchasing data, choose Extras, and you assign the supplying plant here.
2. In the SPRO, you assign the Supplying Plant to the relevant sales organization and the distribution channel in IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution --> Assign Sales Organizationu2013Distribution Channel-Plant.
3. This is not required, as this delivery plant in the "Sales" tab is relevant when you create a Sales Order to automatically populate the delivery plant for the particular customer. For cross-company STO, the customer number is used to identify the ship-to-party to carry out the shipping processing. You would instead need to ensure that the shipping condition etc. in the customer are maintained properly for the shipping point determination.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks.

STO clearing account between two company codes

Hi, every body, when trying to do STO between two company codes, I am getting error to configure the *clearing account between that two company codes, please guide me in resolving the issue, if anybody gives me perfect step by step explanation regading this issue, I will surly reward them with highest points

Hi Azeem,
When there is a transaction between two company codes, then you need to define the clearing accounts for those two company codes in the TCode: OBYA.
It will ask for Company code 1 and Company code 2. there you give your 2 company codes and define the posting keys and clearing GL accounts over there.
I think your problem will be solved with this. Please let me know the status and please reward points if found useful.

Dear Experts,
This requirement is for an IT service project.
The process is - I have two company codes Comp code 1 & Comp code 2, In which Project is created in company code 1. Employees are assigned to project to onsite & offshore from company code 2. This means the employees are created in the company code 2. But working for the project in Comp.code 1.

2) Or same project, one wbs for one company code & other wbs for another company code?
Will the above two possible to work in SAP? or
anyother we i can workaround this
Please advise
Regards,
Deepu Pillai

Hi,
This is possible through Resouce Related billing in PS.
For e.g. Consider business scenario, where we have created T-10006 as a customer project.
Now this project is mapped using a work breakdown structure that contains activities.
The activities define the flow of the project and form a quantity structure for determining costs and payment data automatically.
The project cost plan is used to create quotations.
When the sales order is received, it is assigned to the project. This means that it can be used to plan revenue and then post this revenue.
Actual costs are entered when activities are confirmed, components are purchased and when invoices are assigned. Actual revenue is posted to the project by means of milestone billing.
Two companies are responsible for executing project T-10006.
Company 'A' is mapped using company code 1000 and performs all services except for those planned in WBS element T-10006.1.2.
Comapny 'B' is mapped using company code 2000 and performs some of the engineering services. (WBS element T-10006.1.2).
Here Comapny 'B' bills its services to Company 'A' on a resource-related basis.
A results analysis is carried out for the billing elements T-10006 und T-10006.1.2 in the project.
The results analysis values are settled to the profitability segment.
