New chart of account

Hello all,
For an existing client and company code, (Without changing the company code and without creating a new company code) is it possible to create a new chart of accounts?
Best regards,
Deniz

Hi,
Changing the COA of existing company code with transaction poting will make issues.
Instead define a ccountry chart of account and assign that to your company code. This should meet your reporting requirements.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the answer. I have not copy any company code to my co. code 4040. Just as new entry I created 4040 company code. In Org object Check everything about table found OK. No seprate G/L A/C is created by me for co. code 4040
To see if company code is productive means Active? In "Enter Global Parameter? Tab-->Cost of Sales Accounting ACTV is 2. When I tried to make it Inactive (Blank), it is not allowing me and showing error msg as below.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
I checked this but asking for Application Area to put & I do not know hwat area I should put.
Am I going right as suggested by you?
I had deleted G/L accounts earlier but Sales Actg is active so sould not go ahead.
As per Venkat I had decided to delete company code, But I want to solve without deletion.
I am SD guy so asking many Qs of FICO as I am learning now.
Thanks
Reason why you are not able to delete the assignment is that, you have already created GL accounts for the COA. I hope you have not done any posting using those GL accounts.
First of all please make that you company code is not set as productive. if set prodictive you will not be able to delete any master data. So please remove the productive check(if any).
Then you try to delete the GL account that you have created for the COA. once you delete the GL account the system might ask for the deletion of the account group. After that you should be able to change the assignment.

New Chart of Accounts

Hi,
Can any body tell me how to create a new chart of account for my company. Can I copy the existing chart of account from the chart of account list and change it to my chart of accounts, or is there any other method, by which we do it so that everything works properly. URGENT.

INT is a good model chart of accounts and you can struture your chart of accounts based on this. If you adopt this model it is easier for you to map the account determination for various modules.

Assign chart of account to a new company code

Dear all,
I have created a new company code in system(copy an existing company code data). When I am going to a new chart of account to the new company code, system display an error message as follows:
Reset company code data before changing the chart of accounts
Message no. FC140
Diagnosis
You have selected a different chart of accounts for a company code.
You must, however, reset the company code-specific data for the old chart of accounts beforehand.
Procedure
If you really want to allocate a different chart of accounts to the company code, first of all reset
the company-code specific data for the old chart of accounts.
First of all you must, if it exists, reset the transaction data for this company code.
Finally, carry out the resetting of the company code-dependent G/L account master data
(without the general master data).
Note:
When dealing with large quantities of data, resetting the master data or transaction data can be very
time-consuming. In this case, it is advisable to schedule the running of these reports as a batch run.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I think you have copied the co. code using Trcode , When you have copied the co code all the gl master records from the source co code is also coiped to to the target company code. these gl masters use the COA(Chart of accounts) used by the source co. code.
If you want to assigna new COA now to the target co code then you have to delete all the gl accounts from this new co code you can do this by executing TR Code OBR2. Select the gl accounts, Select the check box for "with general master data" and provide the company code and execute. Now you can assign a new COA to this new company code

Best Practice for legally required Chart of Account

Dear all,
our client has a global defined chart of account. Now they are going to implement the SAP template in France, Belgium and Russia. These countries have legally required chart of accounts. What is best practice to fullfill these requirements in SAP.
1) Do I use the alternative account number?
2) Isn't this field on the central level of the account master data record? How do I manage to realize the different number for Russia and for France at the same time?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards Timo

Hi,
the best way proofed by real life is to define new chart of accounts for the country specific accounts. Then to assign this chart of accounts as country chart of accounts in company code parameters.
Then you can use field alternative account number in company code segment of G/L accounts.
Just keep in mind that the assigment should be 1:1, i.e. one operative (global) account is assigned to one local account and one local account should be assigned to one operative account.
You can't change the alternative account number if there is balance on that account. You can just repost the balance to another account, then change alternative acccount number and then post the balance back. For some accounts its difficult to do such excercise so I use short ABAP which changes directly the field in table SKB1.
You can also define financial statement strucutre based on local chart of accounts - which is usually easier for maintennace, because you can use intervals. Just do not forget check "Alternantive accounts" in RFBILA00.

Upload of chart of accounts at coa and company code level

dear all
can you tell me how it is best to upload a new chart of accounts both as a chart of accounts level and company code. i am planning to use lsmw but shoud i upload chart of accounts first then company code level?
with many thanks
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you have single company code then create one LSMW for transaction "FS00" it upload the COA both at company code and COA level. If you have morethan one company code and you want to upload same COA to both company codes then better first COA level with FSP0 then company code level with FSS0 because here you can extend the required GL's from COA to COmpany code.

Swapna

Brazil - Suggestion - Chart of accounts Annual

Hello,
In Brazil, all software and ERP accounting software has the ability to start a new chart of accounts in the next fiscal year,
would be great if we could register the chart of accounts per year, equal to account determining.
Of course with the possibility to copy the chart of accounts from one year to another to facilitate the work of the company,
Follow my suggestion,
Thank's

Change of Chart of Accounts

Hi SAP Experts
I hereby would like to know what the posibility is to change a company Chart of Accounts.
The company was linked to a Chart of Accounts and operated for couple of months (year). As this Chart of Accounts are also assigned to other company codes, the said company wants it own (new) Chart of Accounts.
Is it possible for a company that was operative to change its Chart of Accounts?
Theo

Hi,
We cannot change simply the Chart of Accounts. There is mandatory process to follow.
If you are trying to change system will prompt you error message, reset the transactionl data.
1. Create a seperate Client with the help of Basis People
2. Copy the Transactional Data in separate client.
3. Now reset the data in Original Client
4. Now change the COA.
5. Now copy/migrate the Transactional Data to Old Client.
Note: Before resetting the data, actual Transactional Data should be copied in to another client without loosing your Business Data.
Thanks

OB58 - Change chart of accounts

Hi,
How can I change, in mass way, a chart of account in a copied financial statement?
I have a new company code (J2) and a new chart of accounts (K2) as a copy company code (J1) and chart of accounts (K1).
So, there are the same accounts in two statements but different chart.
Normally, system in a new/copied statement keeps an information about an old chart of account and I have to manually change all items.
regards
Piotr

Hi,
Firstly it should be doen manually only.
But in case of your GL accounts are same in both COA, then change the COA key manully in OB58 in the new /copied FSV's properties.
Thanks,

Reset the company code before changing chart of accounts

i have created a new chart of accounts.
when i m trying to assign to company code i m getting this error.
i tried with OBR1 tcode also but still getting the error.
how to solve this issue..
thanks in advance.

If you are just starting the company code, you may want to delete the company code and recreate it. Then give the new COA. This may take some time, because if when you just create company code there are numerous tables that get updated. You may also want to check the company code.

Different chart of account is assigned NCCP - CAIN. how to solve this problem.

Rajakumar.

Hello,
Chart of Account is a list of GL accounts. One COA can be assigned to n no of co codes. SAP has provided 3 types of COA. 1.Operate COA 2.Country COA 3. Group COA.
After created COA you should assign in the following path:
Spro>FA>GL a/cing>GL a/cs>Master data>Preparations>Assign co code to COA.
In OB62, you have the option assign co code to country COA.
In your case, you please assign ur COA-NCCA to your co code in the above mentioned path.
Thanks
