One Rebate Agrement linked to multiple company codes

Hi ,
I have a question.Can you let me know on the rebate enhancements if any .I have a scenario where in have to create one Agreement type it can be any rebate agreement ...Customer Rebate ,material Rebate , Heirarchy rebate ..... which can be linked to multiple compnay codes.As per my understanding at the time of creating Rebate agreement it requires sales area data .If we supress that we can make a common Rebate agreement type. Can any one explain on this scenario...How can we go ahead
Kindly let me know if more information is required
Regards
AK

I think that in fact you could create one rebate agreement across payers and company codes (different company codes = different sales organizations), but probably this would only make sense if you you used Extended Rebate Processing.
After activating Extended Rebate you customize the VAKEY construction for S469 structure update so that the system knows, what are the actual values to settle. If you make sure that the rebate conditions in your agreement do not have the sales organization in the access sequence, then there should be no problem to determine those conditions in invoices across company codes. In fact what is important for rebate settlement is that the rebate condition assigned to the agreement is determined in the invoice, not that the sales organization or payer are the same.
Once the rebate conditions are determined in invoices, you must somehow settle the agreement. If you settle in one company code and to one payer only, then this is all you have to do - once the invoices have the conditions determined, settlement will see the values.
If you have to settle across company codes, you will have to introduce the sales organization in the variable key and assign it to sales organization field in the header of the credit memo (VBAK-VKORG). This should work.
I have never tested this particular scenarion, but I have done so many really strange things with extended rebate that I really think it should work. Just remember - the key is that your rebate conditions are determined in the relevant invoices (easiest to achieve by eliminating sales organization from access sequence). If the value is there, you should always find a way to settle (if standard customizing of extended rebates cannot do it, you always have the last option - RBT_ENH_BADI_SETTLE).
If you are successful, let me know - I would really like to know if this scenario is possible as well.

One Bank Account used by Multiple Company Codes - BRS Issue

Dear All
We have a scenario where 1 bank account is maintained under different company codes and used for business purpose. In this scenario we are able to do Funds Transfer without any issue. When we are going to do BRS, there is a issue. When we receive Bank Statement, we receive only one statement and when we try to import into system, system will throw the error as system is not able to decide for which company code it has to perform BRS.
Can anybody help me out in resolving the issue.
Rayala

Hi,
For BRS it is impossbile. For maintainig account and all technically it is ok. But it advisable to have different account at least for different company code.
Thanks

One lockbox for multiple company codes

Is it possible to have one lockbox for multiple company codes?

No, I don't think so. Lockbox is 1:1 for a Company Code.
You configure Lockbox for a Company Code.
You can use one of the 2 available Lockbox user exits (not sure which) to write a piece of code that searches invoices against the customer posted to different company codes. You will have to have the intercompany setups.
You may find an OSS notes for intercompany clearing.
Hope this helps!

One lockbox for multiple company code

Hi Guru's.
Currently we have one company code to many lockbox configured, process
is working fine.
We are in process of merging two companies.
We have a scenario were we have one Lockbox shared between multiple
company code, when we process the lockbox file lockbox process will
clear one company code Invoice and other Invoice for different company
code are unprocessed.
We have looked in to user exit EXIT_RFEBLB20_001 and EXIT_RFEBLB20_002,
was not much of help.
Regards,
KJ

I had this scenario few years back in a company and we used exit RFEBLB20_002. We used logic to find the invoicing company code from the BSID table using the document number from lockbox file, then change the default lockbox company code to invoicing company code. Unfortunately this scenario will work only if you use unique document number ranges for each company codes which is not the case for most companies.

SEPA file – how to create one file for multiple company codes

Dear experts,
My company has multiple company codes and they process automatic payments (F110) for multiple company codes in the same run.
The company wants to generate one SEPA file for all company codes.
In OBPM1 for SEPA format in the section ``Payment medium output devided by level of detail`` I unchecked everything (attached).
OBPM4 for SEPA format is showing `` No separation of payment medium output``.
Unfortunately, when I run automatic payments (F110) for multiple codes, multiple files for each company code are created.
Can anyone let me know how it is possible to create one SEPA file that will contain payments for multiple company codes?
Thank you

Hi Zara,
Please check in transaction DMEE your format tree (eg. SEPA_CT), 'DMEE tree: properties' - tab 'Sort/key field'. Is the Sort/key field 'ZBUKR' defined there with Level 1?
Please follow the recommendation of note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1742584

Impact of Merging multiple company codes into ONE

Hi,
We are currently doing a study for a client, they have the following scenario where the client has got multiple company codes in SAP (due to some tax benefits they had initially created the company codes) now the tax benefits cease to exist and they are planning to consolidate/merge all the company codes into one legal entity. In the existing landscape all the company codes are in the same client. They are proposing to merge all the company codes into an existing company code.
Trying to understand the impact of merging on SD and would appreciate your thiughts/insights into what could be the important critical impacts of merging and what are the factors to watch out for from an SD perspective. Client has VC and MTO scenarios.
Thanks in Advance.
M

Hi,
It all depends on your strategy. Will you be creating a new Sales organisations? or continue with the existing one? Also, please check with the client as to how the existing plants in the subsidery company be treated in the holding company.
You will have to check the master data, open items, Z programmes & most importantly CIN related settings.
Hope this is helpful, please let me know if you require further inputs.
Thanks.

Can Business One handle multiple company codes / multi national co. codes?

I have been told that SAP Business one can not handle multiple company codes, is this correct ?
Pl let me know.
In addition to this, can it handle multiple company codes, that belongs to different countries.
Thanks
Arun Tulsi

Answer from you second question: Yes and No. When these different countries are in the same cluster, i.e. A or B , you can. Otherwise, you can't.
Now back to your first question. If you want use B1 for multiple companies which are not related, then you shouldn't because any B1 licenses should be under strict control. License is not shareable. If they under one group, then there are no problem to have multiple companies with one exception as the first answer to your second question..
Thanks,
Gordon

One Credit Control Area - Multiple Company Codes - Credit Management

One Bank account for Multiple company codes

Hello, Is it posible to have one Bank account assigned to mulitiple company codes ??
isn't it be a problem when we do BAI reconciliation.
Becuase all we get from bank is bank account number and transactions, and how reconciliation works in this situation if we had mulitiple company codes assigned to same bank account number.
Can you please suggest me, if this is possible at all.(assigned to mulitiple company codes).
Thankyou.

Hi. For bank statement configuration you can only assign one bank account to one company code as mentioned by Akhil. The scenario you've described above is a pay-on-behalf process. If your payments are through AP, you create the bank account in the true legal entity and then when you configure the Company Codes (x,y, and z) in F110 payment program, then you set the Paying Company Code to be entity A. You don't need to configure the bank account in company codes x, y and z. When you run the AP payments, the system will know to check company A for the banking details. You will also be establishing an intercompany relationship with this so you would need OBYA setup as well. However, if you are trying to process payment requests, I do not think that the program adheres to this piece of config. It'll try to find the bank account in the respective company code's config. So sometimes in-house cash is implemented to this. hope that helps a bit.

Creating a Rebate agreement doc for multiple co codes

Hi,
To enable settling one rebate agreement across multiple company codes.
We have a scenario, to accomodate on Rebage agreement type for multiple company codes,
and to do the settlement for the billing documents created in these multiple company codes.
I think it is a standard processes, but how to execute this to get the results,pls suggest.
Regards
AK

Hi Franck,
Thanks for your prompt feedback,
Further to the issue I would like to clarify couple of other issues related to
the processing of one Rebate agreement for multiple company codes.
1. This is a client requirement, which need to be addressed through
enhancements since standard possibility is ruled out, we have tried with this scenario but sales area is a mandatory entry while creating the agreement type (Tcode-VBO1).
2. If it is feasible could you please provide the configuration steps for the scenario or any enhancements related to this scenario for implementing.
Kindly explain what do you mean by IMHO?

Currency setting in multiple company code.

Dear all,
we are having 3 company codes in one client.
and we have to set the Currency setting for multiple company codes.
Tcodes
S_BCE_68000174 - Enter Translation Rates
S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods
it is not allowing us to set the values at a same time for different company codes by different users
it says " DATA LOCKED BY OTHER USER, ONLY DISPLAY MODE."
Pls assist
Thanks

Ask for access to delete lock entries. If access is provided, use T code sm12 to delete the lock entries.
@ Irfan you cannot do that. Only one user can use a table at a time.
It is like using an ATM. Only one person can withdraw money at a time.

Entry Channel setup for multiple company codes

Hello,
I have a question regarding the entry channel setup (for external requirements in the Plan-Driven Procurement scenario)
In previous implementations, I 've created an entry channel below each company code (as the documentation says it should be). Now, for each entry channel, there was a EBP user assigned, which corresponded to an RFC entry in the backend system (I was connecting EBP to multiple backend systems)
Now, what should I do in the following scenario?:
1. SRM is only connected to one backend system
2. There are 50 company codes
Does that mean I have to create 50 users (for each channel) plus 50 RFC connections in the R/3 system (each with a different user in the backend system), pointing to the same SRM system?
I was thinking of creating an Org iD in the SRM structure at the top (which would be the entry channel), assign only ONE user to it and then fill attribute BUK with all the company codes. However, I don't know if this will work, because the external requirement process might need the company code defined in the "Function" tab... =/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gilberto.

Hi Proyecto Genesis,
I am also configuring the Entry channel (org unit) for multiple company codes.
I tried your logic of defining the entry channel outside company code level. Assigned the BUK attribute and extended attribute for plants and storage locations.
Also in my case the local Pur org and Pur group is defined outside the company code. Is it correct?
However the system fails to transfer the external requisition to SRM.
SLG1 displays following error message.
"No address found for partner function type Ship-To Address"
So if I move the Entry channel (org unit) under any one company code level then the external requisitions are transferred correctly to SRM.
But then the issue is the requirements are not transferred with the backend Pur Org and Pur grp. Instead they are transferred to the Pur Org and Pur grp of the company code under which the entry channel is defined.
Can you please share how do we need to define the entry channel, local pur org and pur grp for multiple company codes scenario, so that the ECC requisitions are transferred with the correct company code, pur org and pur grp to SRM?
Or do we need to define Entry channel for each company code and RFC user actually mapping the same backend system?
Please guide.
Regards,
Sandeep

Vendor Master Creation through IDoc with Multiple Company Codes

I am trying to create vendor masters sent from a 3rd party into SAP using CREMAS05 IDoc. I have the requirement that the vendor should be created in each of 3 company codes and the vendor number is internally assigned in SAP.
I create my IDoc with the general data E1LFA1M and multiple E1LFB1M & E1LFB5M Children. When I post the IDoc using IDOC_INPUT_CREMAS which uses Call Transaction, the vendor gets created for the first company code, but the IDoc errors on the vendor extension XK01 for the next company code with the error: "Fill all required fields SAPMF02K 0111 ADDR1_DATA-NAME1".
In debugging through this, it appears that the vendor number that gets created in the first XK01 transaction does not get passed into the data for the second XK01 call and SAP tries to create a new vendor instead of extending the newly created one.
If I force the value in during debug after the initial call transaction into the variable h_lifnr, it works fine (Vendor created with multiple company codes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Larry

I cannot give you exact solution, but can guess why this is happening, below is what I believe.
I think Synchronous update is not happening in call transaction, second transaction is getting processed before the first one is saved, debugging it works fine, because we give system enough time to save while processing.
Generally in call transaction we have MODE, if we pass S - then synchronous update happens, in your case, you need to find the way to incorporate this.
Hope it helps.

Can we assign 1 credit control for multiple company codes

hi,
sap gurus,
good afternoon to all
can we assign 1 credit control area for multiple company codes.
if yes can any body explain the pro's and cons of the assignment.
if no can any body explain the why?
its urgent plz.......
regards,
balaji.t
09990019711

Yes Balaji,
We can assign.
Here the risk categiry and terms of one credit control area will be applicable to all company code.
Credit Control Area
Definition
An organizational unit that represents the area where customer credit is awarded and monitored.
This organizational unit can either be a single or several company codes, if credit control is
performed across several company codes. One credit control area contains credit control
information for each customer.
Use
Credit and risk management takes place in the credit control area. According to your corporate
requirements, you can implement credit management that is centralized, decentralized, or
somewhere in between.
For example, if your credit management is centralized, you can define one credit control
area for all of your company codes.
If, on the other hand, your credit policy requires decentralized credit management, you
can define credit control areas for each company code or each group of company codes.
Credit limits and credit exposure are managed at both credit control area and customer level.
You set up credit control areas and other data related to credit management in Customizing for
Financial Accounting. For more information, see the Implementation Guide under Enterprise
Structure Definition or Assignment Financial Accounting and then Maintain credit control
area. You assign customers to specific credit control areas and specify the appropriate credit
limits in the customer master record.
Thanks,
Raja
