Multiple Financial Accounting Company Codes but only 1 Legal Entity

Hi all,
We are implementing various countries payrolls, which includes posting to general ledger.
We have a situation whereby there are many company codes for financial accounting purpose (local term calls them company code / sector). These separate company codes need to be differentiated in posting documents.
For most countries we are able to have many company codes but 1 legal entity (for e.g 1 tax reference number, and company details for statutory reporting for various company codes). But for Malaysia, this is not allowed.
I understand that commonly that Company Code in SAP should be legal entity. But there are many companies who practises different external financial reporting that have 1 legal entity separated in different sector for GL / financial reporting purpose.
My question is:
1. How can we set multiple company codes, but with 1 legal entity details (e.g. Tax Reference Number, Legal Entity Company Name and Address for Statutory reporting) for Malaysia?
2. If this is not possibe, how can we split up the GL file (or at least have different separation in the same file to show the different company codes)? It does't seem that Personnel Area or Personnel Area is picked up by PC00_M99_CIPE (payroll posting). Where can we store this besides Business Area field for individual employees (as this field is already used to distinguish another internal GL reporting, e.g. for Indirect / Direct Employee).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
A client can either be valid for a company code at the smallest level, or the entire
corporate group.
The company code is defined in financial accounting. The balance
sheet and profit and loss statements are drawn up at the company code level.
The personnel area, which is only used in Personnel Administration, is unique in each
client. You must assign each personnel area to a company code.
You also use the personnel subarea only in Personnel Administration and it is the smallest element of
the enterprise structure. You link the groupings that define the entries to be used for
employees of a particular company code/personnel area to the personnel subarea.
I understand your question ,
question 1 is belong to FICO quesion , as a HR counsultant you have only way:
one way set your multiple company as HR personnel area level ,then make those personnel area belong to the company that with 1 legal entity details ,
another way is set your multiple company as a company have company code at SAP , then posting to each company ,then let FICO department to adjust subsequent account.
hope can help you

Is there a way to have multiple email accounts in mail but only get notifications for one account?

I would like to add my junk email account to mail for quick access, but I don't want to see notifications (or the number of unread emails). The options I can find are notifications for all accounts or none. On my iphone, I can select the notification level for each email address, but I can't find this option for my mac.

Hi,
Yes the smart mailbox you set up was a very basic one. I tells Mail to display anything that is assigned to that account. So if you move an email from say the inbox of that account, to another folder of the same account, then the smart mailbox will not look any different as it is looking at the whole account.
In reality, you never need to use or look at this smart mailbox and you can continue to keep looking at the normal inboxes as you always have, but the Dock icon will only update according to unread emails anywhere in that account.
If you would like to refine what the smart mailbox looks at, say the inbox only of that account, then you add another rule to the smart mailbox.
Edit the smart mailbox
hit '+' next to the first rule
Add the new rule
Now the smart mailbox will only display what is in the inbox of that account

Actual and Plan Versions annual view - Multiple versions per company code

Good Day,
Iu2019m creating an FI-CO query with an annual view of both Actuals and Plan Values, which uses period and version as input values. The dilemma is around the plan versions which are hardcoded per company codes (eg. 1 Company Code = versions 501 u2013 512)
Can anyone suggest a possible solutions as normally there is only one version used for planning but in this instance there are multiple versions per Company Code.
Currently the report is hardcoded for one Company Code and going forward it should cater for more than one(Company Company* 12 Version)
Kind Regards

Remove restriction on comp code. There could be 2 models.
1. Include comp code, value type and version in the rows. This way you get multiple records for a comp code. One record for actual data and one record each for plan versions. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube also should be in this way (what we call as the account model), multiple records differentiated into actual/plan by valuetype and different versions by version.
2. Include comp code in rows. Create selections, one for actuals (restrict with key fig and value type 10, actuals), one for each plan versions (restrict key fig with value type 20, version 501. Create one selection for each version this way). This way we have one record per comp code with diff key fig for actual and plan versions. We call this as key fig model. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube could be account model or key fig model. If it is key fig model then no need of selections. The key fig could be taken directly from the cube.

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

Currency Code of a Legal Entity - R12

Hi,
I need to find out the currency code for a Legal Entity in a R12 instance
Based on what I have read and from e-TRM, I have written the following queries:
select gsb.currency_code
from hr_operating_units hou,
       xle_entity_profiles xep,
       gl_ledgers gsb
where hou.default_legal_context_id = xep.legal_entity_id
   and hou.set_of_books_id = gsb.ledger_id
   and xep.legal_entity_id = 9999;
select currency_code
from gl_ledger_le_v
where legal_entity_id=9999
   and ledger_category_code='PRIMARY';Which of these two is more accurate or is there some other way in which I can obtain the Legal Entity currency?
Thanks,
Sujoy
Closing this thread as there have been no answers. I went with the second query.

Hi Sandeep and thanks for your quick response.
Our business problem is that this entity is very high volume pertaining to open purchase orders and invetory transactions. In essense the business stays exactly the same, the only change is that it will move to another country with an ownership change. We want the current R12 ledger, company and inventory orgs to stay the same. If the new entity cannot assume the current structure, we have a huge setup and conversion task to make the change.
Again thanks for your quick response.

Field Bus. Area is a required field for G/L account company code g/l ac

hi ,
I am getting this following error when trying to post a cenvat in the tcode of J1iEX .
"Field Bus. Area is a required field for G/L account <companycode> <cenvat g/l acct.no.> "
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Bus. Area" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "13113920" in company code "LECS" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Bus. Area". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.
Plz help me ..

Deepa

Hi Deepa,
At Easy access screen :
1.Go to the master account of that G/L (F-02).
2.Check the field status variant defined there.
At Customization screen (SPRO):
3.Go to the master account of that field status variant.
4.Change the status of business area field optional.

Transport of Chart of Accounts- Company Code segment

Hi everyone,
i´m trying to transport a chart of account from one system to another.
i´ve used the tx OBY9, but while it works fine for the Chart of Account segment it doesn´t transport the Company Code segment.
Does anyone knows if is it posible to do this? What transaction should i use?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
try this procedure:
1. Transport the chart of accounts - OBY9 (only chart of accounts segment)
2. Create the file containing the Company Code segment - tx FS15 on the source system (leave Target Company Code empty, erase ticks Update file immediately and Check file only; enter File name) -> you can see the file using tx AL11- Directory Global
3. Transport the file from the source system to the target system (I have asked my base colleague to do it)
4. Receive the file in the target system - tx FS16 (tick Update File Immediately)

Vendor No# is not in Company Code, but SAP allow to create PO ?

Hi All,
In the Purchasing Order (PO) header, we create Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group and Company Code "A" .
However, users input incorrect Company Code "B" in the PO and the vendor do not exist in Company Code "B" . PO created is successfully, but error out when user input invoice against the PO.
Anybody know how to prevent user input incorrect company code in PO when vendor do not exist in the company ?
Thank you
Alex

from FAQ note 491789
Why can I still change the company code at header level of the purchase order although follow-on documents (goods receipt, invoice receipt ...) already exist?
Answer:
In the purchase order there is a company code at header level (field EKKO-BUKRS) and a company code at item level (field EKPO-BUKRS). The company code at item level is relevant for the update of the FI and CO documents. This company code is always derived from the plant and therefore you can no longer change it.
What significance does the company code have at header level of the purchase order?
Answer:
The local currency and the corresponding conversion factors are determined from the company code on header level, as well as the VAT registration number (VAT reg.no.).
for PO creation the vendor does not need to have the company code data views maintained. This speeds up the process, you can already order while Accounting has not finished the data maintenance. CC data is first time needed when you like to process goods receipt and invoice receipt.

Multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, but email always sent out from just one no matter which i use - how do I stop that?

I have multiple email accounts on TB. however, whenever I send an email from any of the other accounts, when the email arrives it shows as having been sent from the email account I first set up on TB. even if i am replying to an email received, the reply shows from the original account instead of the one I actually send it from. I REALLY need to fix this fast!!

You have to set the return address to a different one from the first one (since that will usually be the default) if that is what you want. You can set the identity information from Account Settings > [account name] > Manage Identities button.

Can the country code of a legal entity be changed?

We have a business situation where we need to transfer 100% ownership of a company from one wholly owned sub to a new wholly owned sub in a different country. This wholly owned sub is a large transaction volume and greater than 250,000 item/BOMs. Our question is can we simply change the current Legal Entity's name, address and country to the new company and country? We would create a new entity to handle the wind down and liquidation of the current wholly owned sub. If this is possible, it would save us the work is setting up the new entity, inventory orgs, etc. and the conversion of POs, invoices, items, BOMs, inventory, etc.

Hi Sandeep and thanks for your quick response.

Multiple line item in billing but only one line item in accounting document

Hi Everyone,
I am having one scenario in which sales order has more than one line item. Only one billing document is create for all line items in Sales Order but billing document contains as many items as sales order has. In accounting document of billing i find only one customer line which has total amount of all line items in billing as debited. My requirement is Accounting document also should have as many line of customer-debit as in billing items i.e sales order. For example :
(1) Sales order has 2 line items.
(2) Billing document is only ONE and has 2 line items
(3) currently accounting document has only ONE line of Customet - Debit ( Total amount of both items)
My requirement is
Accounting document should have 2 line item of customer - Debit
Customer - Debit (amount of first line item)
Customer - Debit (amount of Second line item)
Sales - Credit
How can it be done ?
Regards,
Manish

Hi,
This is the SAP expected behaviour
As far as the values correspond to same account key and same GL account as per account determination, then ti will be posted as a single line item in FI document.
If you want the customer specific items to be posted in two GL accounts , then you have to do the account determination that way.
For example, you should have a condition table in FICO as follows.
Sales org/ Account key / Customer
For this condition table, the entries shoudl be as follows.
5110/ERS/Customer A GL ACCOUNT IS 5000100
5110/ERS/Customer B GL ACCOUNT IS 5000200
In this case, there will be 2 entries for the invoice instead of just one line entry.
