New Company Code Creation Problem

Hi Experts..
We are having 10 company codes, i got a requirement to create another company code. I have used one of the earlier company code to create a new company code.
It is giving me the following error while trying to post a document in a testing server.
<b>Could not determine the year for TDS Certificate number range</b>
Message No: 8I017
Diagnosis
The excise year could not be determined for generating the numbers for TDS Certificates. The number range is linked to the excise year and not on the fiscal year directly.
Procedure
Check the customizing done for the company code in the India Version IMG. Maintain the start month for the excise year correctly.
Please provide me your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Naveen
Thank you so much for your reply...
The company code which i have choosen to copy is functioning properly in the production server. That is why i have copied. I need to create some more company codes.. Creation of codes involves from the scratch involves lot of work.
Please guide me how to rectify the error.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Vikcy,
Company Code is legal Entity and core component in FI.
Now u r planning create new company codes, just check below:
01. Chart of Accounts:
- You may use existing chart of account for new com. code
02. Controlling Area:
- Check the feasibility of cross company code controlling or not. If you maintain one:one relation in existing controlling area, u need to create new one.
03. SD: Core component is Sale Organization. U need to assign them to ur Company Codes. So check accordingly.
03. MM/ PP: Plants and Purchasing Organization need to assign to Company Codes.
Hope it will give you idea on a whole to plan, how u need plan to go ahead.

Copy from the existing company code
IMG ==> Enterprise Structure ==> Definition ==> Financial Accounting ==> Edit, copy, delete, check company code
2.Is there any precautions we need to take when creating new company codes,so that exsiting company codes functionality is NO WAY disturbed?
If you company in a proper way, it wont disturb your existing company code, unless you disturb existing config.
3.What settings I need to make for bank statement upload?
Manual Bank Statement Upload: IMG ==> Financial Accounting ==> Bank Accounting ==> Business Transactions ==> Payment Transactions ==> Manual Bank Statement

Creation of New company code using EC01

Hi
While creating a new company code using EC01, I am getting several messages relating to Number ranges. All the message relate to number range object type 5 & 6. After all these messages, the final message says that 86 number ranges have not been copied. Can some one throw some light on this?
Regards
Ravi

Hi,
You can ignore these messages; if you use EC01 the system copies all possible tables that are registered as company-dependent. Some of these tables might be not in use at all.

Address Maintenance during new Co Code Creation

Dear Experts,
I am implementing some new additional company codes in our system. We went live few years back and have got a requirement for few new company codes to be setup.
When I copy creation of a new company code using EC01, an address pointer gets created in Table T001 in field ADRNR. However the problem for me is the value in this ADRNR field in my development system is not the latest available number in Production System. The number in Development system is already in use in Production system.
So when I send the transport request to Prod system, the ADRNR field with the value overwrites the existing address data there. In Prod system that ADRNR value might represent a vendor address or a customer address.
My question is how to tackle this ADRNR creation at the time of copying a new Co Code using EC01?
Please provide your expertise.
Regards,
Sanjay Barnwal

Hello
Can you re set the current number in number range series in SA01, No 01 in DEV at par to Prod
go to T code SA01
go to ststus
change the current number in DEV as per PROD.
Thanks

New company integration - Should or not create a new company code?

Hi Gurus,
my customer is acquiring a new company and the related population will be integrated in our sap payroll system.
The FI team is now asking for the creation of a new company code (the new population should be maintained separated from the old one, with a different PMO and budject) but the HR Department does not want to manage (for several internal reasons) a new company code.
Now the question is: is it absolutely necessary to create a new company code or is it possible to manage this situation in another way (maybe linking the new population to a new personnel area, related to an already existing company code)? And what about the posting?
From the payroll point of view, the new population should be managed exactly as the old population. It is just a question to maintain them separated from the FI point of view.
Do you already faced a problem like this? And which is your feedback?
Thanks and Regards,
Gaetano

Creation of new company code is depending on the legal reason...if you legal department and Finance users decide that this new company is a separate legal entity and Profit & Loss will reported separate, Tax Id number is different from parent company, then all this means that this newly acquired company will need a new company code in SAP. Then comes how they want to do the costing...that may also require them to report all the salary cost to this new company code.
Whether it is a new company code or old company code...you would required to identify these new entity as Personnel area or personnel subarea right?
If the Tax id number is different, then it is best recommended to create a separate enterprise structure and bring the employee under the new CC/PA/PSA.
If the tax id is same, only for costing and PnL , then you can use the existing Enterprise structure and override the costing logic using the Substitute cost center or overriding BAdI in HR-FI posting.
Let me know your feedback

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

Extend a customer to a new company code (IDoc DEBMAS06)

Hi,
I'm experienceing problems when I try to add company code data (segment E1KNB1M) and sales data (segment E1KNVVM) to an incoming IDoc of basic type DEBMAS06. The customer is to be extended into two company codes and correlating sales areas.
I have implemented notes 802008 and 895885 and now I get the error message "No batch input data for screen SAPMF02D 0310" when I check in WE02.
I have narrowed down the problem to billing details on sales data. The problem is that the field account assignment group (KNVV-KTGRD) is emptied on the last run of sales data processing. The value is there earlier but then vanishes mysteriously. Has anyone a tip on how to get around this problem?
I would most apprechiate any help in this matter.
Best regards,
Fredrik Skild

Hi Muthuraman Govi and Sanjeev,
in fact I can see in backend in transaction KS03 (show cost center) there in the F4s, which comp.code + controll area combinations are valid and have indeed cost centers assigned.
So I have a new valid comp.code and a new valid cont.area.
The new comp.code belongs to the new contr. area.
In SRM I set the BUK attribute as described by Sanjeev (I had that already done). Still, if it is like you say, why do I get an error in EBP when trying to buy products from the new plant in the new company code...
Is there any more config.work necessary in backend or SRM?
kind regards, matthias

Company code creation issue

Hi All,
When I am creating company code I am getting an error as below.
"you may not change the currency since documents exist with this currency"
Above issue is coming while new co code creation or copying of existing co code also.
Please advice on the above issue.
Regards,
Riyaz

Hi,
I hope you are creating new company code by copying from the exiting company code. If you copy one company code to another company code then you will get few pop- up message like do you want to use same chart of account or do you want to use same currecny like that. So may be you have selected different currecny. Sap has come up with country template for each country. So you can use country template to create the new company code.
Thanks & Regards
