Operating Chart of Account

Hello SAP Gurus,
I need your valuable suggetions for creating a Globla chart of account for doing reporting in IFRS, US GAAP reporting and Local coutry's reporting.
Current Situation:
Company codes                     Country                 Chart of account
0001                                       A                           A001
0002                                       B                           B001
0003                                       C                           C001
0004                                       D                            D001
These 4 company codes are in different country and follows different chart of account and based on that they are doing reporting to respective countries. till now theq are not interlinked.
now,    for above mentioned reporting purpose, if we create a Global operating chart of account (COA) and assign all the 4 company codes to this Global operating COA, according to me we can do the reporting.
But,
I am not aware about what various detailed steps and procedures involved.
Can anybody who has done this kind of implementation or experience, please suggest me stepwise procedure for this.
Thanks a lot for your cooperation.
Regards,
Jigs.

Hi Jigs,
.For this particular scenario, we should opt for Group Chart of Accounts.
   a)Create one Operative Chart of Accouts (OB13) and asssign this particular operative Chart of accounts to all four Chart of Accounts in Group Chart of accounts field in OB13.
   b)You can create Separate Account Groups(OBD4) and reatined earings account(OB53) for this new operative chart of accounts.
c)Create separate G/L Accounts for New Operative Chart of Accounts.(say for example Salary G/L a.c no 4444444)
d) and this new G/L Account to all 4 G/L Salary Master records in Group account No field in Chart of Accounts segment.
in the above we can link for all four chart of accounts to one operative chart of accounts.
    the above solution may be valuable to u.
Let me know for better sol.
Thanks & Records.

GL accounts in place in operational chart of accounts.

Hi
I want to check the G/L account is an operational chart of account or not?
I have to validate this using abap code.
Can you tell me which rables and which fields i should check.
Thanks in advance.

Check the chart of accounts (KTOPL) assigned to the GL account in table SKA1. If that KTOPL is assigned to one of your company codes in table T001, then the account is an account in operational chart of accounts.

Country chart of accounts mapping to operational chart of accounts

Hi All,
We intend to use country specific chart of accounts to one of our company code along with operational chart of accounts. We try to map 1 operational G/L account to a group of country G/L accounts, system not allowing doing this, understanding it allows only 1:1 mapping.
Is there any work around to achieve this?
Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.
Salary u2013 Finance u2013 600100
Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
The same way for couple of P&L accounts to be created, but in operational COA we do have only one expense or revenue account these are used across the globe (all company codes).
I heard that, it is possible in SPECIAL PURPOSE LEDGER, creating new ledger and assigning the country specific chart of accounts, inputting some validation to achieve this purpose.
Simulating the purpose, with an example; during posting, where Operational COA G/L ACCOUNT equals to specific COST CENTER check FUNCTIONAL AREA and pick the appropriate country COA G/L ACCOUNT .
Substitution for Validation; Functional Area = Country Specific G/L Account
Currently Iu2019m using the mySAP and using New G/L (not document split), would like to achieve the Special Purpose Ledger functionality by creating a new ledger type in New G/L to map country specific chart of accounts to operational chart of accounts (N:1).
Please share any other alternatives avail to achieve this.
The reports are needed by functional area,
Balance sheet by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
(Figured some difficulty to assign functional area to G/L accounts, though I have cost of sales accounting is activated)
T/B by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Journals by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Document line items by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
Please try to share you thoughts and advice on this.
Thanks.
Vyas

Dear Vyas,
We have similar requirement as yours
Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.
Salary u2013 Finance u2013 600100
Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
I would like to know how are u handling this situation.
Thanks and Regards

How to integrate operating charts of account to country and group coa

Hi Sap gurus,
How to integrate operating chart of account to country and group chart of account
Regards,
Rajesh

First create the country chart in OB13 and assign the same to OB62.
Then for each operational chart of account, enter the country chart of account in FS00 and this will be captured in field Alternate account number.
The relationship between operational to country chart of a/c is 1:1.

Consolidation multiple operational chart of accounts

am on a consolidation project and I have the following scenario.
There are about 25 companies spread across the globe.
The requirement is only legal consolidation.
But unfortunately they dont use global chart of accounts. Out of 25 company codes 20 companies use CoA A and the rest of the CoA B. Had it been a single CoA it would have been a straight forward implementation. SInce it involves two CoAs I would like to know how to go further on this. I know BIW based BCS can handle this. But when it comes to the question of real life implementation every one is tight lipped. Appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this.

Dan
<b>Appreciate your comments on this which will add value</b>.
Yes. It is not a straight forward implementation but not too complex. There are more than one way to tackle this issue. But my solution is based on maintenance perspective since there will be regular addition of GL accounts. You have also not mentioned whether your client has Group chart of accounts in place. I assume that you dont have group chart of accounts and only operational chart of accounts in place for these two sets of companies.
Solution 1. At the time of extracting the data from R/3 table you can map it to a group chart of accounts in transfer rules.
Solution 2 You can also do a mapping between operational chart of accounts and group chart of accounts when you are mapping between source data basis and data basis.
Solution 3 You can create look up table (Ztable) separately containing the following fields
name of the chart of accounts, operational GL accounts and group chart of accounts. When the data extracted from R/3 data will look ino this table and group account number will be populated based on this mapping table.
I would recommend this since this easier to maintenance since users need not go into BIW or SEM whenever a new account is added into R/3 side.
Hope this gives you some idea. Pl let me know if you have more questions.

Changing of Operational Chart of accounts

hi,
Recently we have created a new company code and assigned an existing operational chart of accounts of the other Comapany code existing under the group.
Now the client says he does not require all the Gl accounts of that Operational COA.
Can we create new operational COA and assign to the new comapany code, as in the old COA no entries are posted yet.
please suggest.

navuduri

Hi
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.

Group chart of accounts
Operative chart of accounts

At "help.sap.com" i just could find a written one, but as i have to use it in a presentation, a picture/graphic will be much better.
Thanks in advance,

SEM BCS - Consolidation Chart of Accounts

Hi all,
For the SEM-BCS implementation I am using ECC as the operational system. ECC folks are in the process of building a group chart of account in FI.
Can you suggests the work around to map group chart of account to consolidation chart of account in SEM-BCS?
Thanks in advance
RJ

I am not sure if anybody has replied you.
In SEM 4.0, You need to download the chart from R3 and then upload as hierrachy in the UCWB workbench.
In SEM.6.0, You have master data load direct from R3 and you can do the same.
Functional advice:-
Normally R3 creates operational chart of account in R3. Each account has a group account feild, if populated the mapping of operational chart to group is amintained in R3 itself.
You can upload the GL master with group chart account number and then this will obviously have the mapping for your use in BCS.
Consolidation chart of account in R3 (if its the accepted group chart) will be the same group chart which your ECC guys are preparing.
Are they using ECCS in R3??

HIi
Mater chart of accounts is nothing but the main account that is created at the client level.
we have 3 COA
1. Group chart of accounts
2.country specific chart of accounts
3. Operating chart of accounts
we can have maximum 3 chart of acocunts assigned to each company code
Company code chart of accounts is can be operating chart of account which contains the group of account used by that company...
If some specific requireement is there for the country reporting purpose than we need to use that and maintain that ,
Group chart of account is used for the consolidation purpose.
like we have 6 company codes under one company in differnet countries.. so here they will have one common COA which will consilidate the business of all 6 company codes...
Hope u understand wht u wanted..

Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

Hello Experts
we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
> Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
> You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
> Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
> No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.

Chart of Accounts Upload

Hi ,
I am working on upload of Chart of Accounts. Here I have to upload the Group Chart of Accounts and then the Operational Chart of Accounts( company code level ). Can you please suggest a detailed right approach to do it ?
I am currently using the standard batch input program RFBISA00 through LSMW approach for the purpose. It is loading the operational chart of accounts ( company code level ) fine. But how to upload the Group Chart of Accounts through this same program ? Although the fields to be loaded in Group Chart of Accounts ( tcode - FSPO ) are also part of the field list to be loaded in Operational Chart of Accounts ( Tcode - FS01 ) . Is there any problem through this approach ?
