Process for changing a company code

Looking for information regarding the process required to change a company code.  We have an existing company A and need to change to company 100.
Areas that I need to address are FI/CO, SD, MM.  The existing account balances of company A need to be transfered into company 100.
Thanks,

hi,
i found this.
Sometimes during your IDOC/BAPI communication you will get error "No global company code is assigned to the company code" & Message no. FC 326 in Idoc status record.
This problem is very frustrating. The solution is simple, but hard to find.
There is a very long menu to get there. It is: IMG > Basis Components > Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Cross-Application Settings > Global Organizational Units > Cross-System Company Codes
1. Create a cross-system company code.
2. Assign the cross-system company code to a chart of accounts to which it is also assigned on the central system. This setting is needed on the decentral systems in order to determine the chart of accounts of the company code on the central system.
3. Assign cross-system company codes to the local company codes. Specify the identifiers of the relevant cross-system company codes for each of the individual company codes.

  • Error when changing a Company Code for a given Cost Center

    Hello Friends ,
                             I'm trying to modify a company code value for a given cost center in KS02 and I get the below error. The error message receommends to change the analysis period ( not sure what it is..) but when I click edit > Analysis period from tool bar I  still get the below message , is there way to get over come this issue ?
    Thanks in advance ,
    Field change Company Code is not possible (transaction data already exists)
    Message no. KS134
    Diagnosis
    To ensure the consistency of existing data, you can only change object Company Code if no transaction data exists in the change period; that is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
    As transaction data already exists, it is not possible to change objects in this time period.
    Procedure
    If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...".

    Thank you Vishal . I have 3 cost centers with 2 having validity period ( from 01/01/1950 to 12/31/9999) and third one had 2 records 12/30/2004 to 12/26/2009 and 12/27/2009 to 12/31/9999 ) for the third one it did allow to change the validty period and I could change the comapny code for my profit center . But for first 2 somehow it doesnt allow to change the validity periods. And when I run some reports against these 2 cost centers to see if there is any activity I dont see any data .
    Could you please give your ideas ?
    Thanks alot .

  • Change of company code for equipment

    hi! PM gurus,
    Can anyone tell me how to change co cd of an equipment?
    and also how to dismantle the equipment?
    helpful answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks.

    Hi Vaibhav......
    It is possible to change the Company Code of an equipment, but there are some basic needs to be fulfilled for that.........
    > Both the Company Codes (one in which Equipment exists & the one in which you want the equipment to be transferred) should fall under same Controlling Areas & Chart of Accounts.
    As far as dismantle of equipment is concerned, you have two options:
    > Go to Equipment Master - Structure Tab - Function Location - Click on Icon on right side, select dismantle.......in this equipment is dismantled & can be instaaled at other Function Location.
    > but if you have to dismantle & equipment & put it in to the storage, go for Tcode - IE4n
    Hope, this will help you.........

  • Accounting document currency code for transfer between company code

    Hi;
    We have one business process here. 2 plant with 2 different company code.
    Plant P1 -> Company code C1
    Plant P2 -> Company code C2
    Now we make material movement between P1 and P2 via MIGO_GR , movement type 301. Accounting document will be generated when MM document posting.
    From SAP standard, the accounting document currency will pick up from company code currency code.
    For example
    C1 -> currency USD
    C2 -> currency EUR
    But now we would like to generate the accouting document with different currency code, for example accounting document under C1 will be EUR? is that possible except to change the company code currency. Because company code currency change will be a big impact.
    Thanks in advance

  • Unable to clear customer line items for a particular company code

    Hello,
    For a certain company code, even though open items are present for some customers, i am unable to clear them using F-28 or F-32.I am getting the message 'No open item exists', Anyone come across this scenario before?

    Hi:
             Make sure you are giving proper selection criteria for the processing open item. May be the items are Special GL based transaction so you need to select special GL indicator to process open item. Please also refer to OSS Note 136754 - F-03, F-32, F-44, F-28 missing open items. Hope this will help you.

  • Creation of a PO with reference to a contract - change of company code

    Hi experts,
    When a PO is made with reference to an existing contract, the company code is copied automatically from the contract into the PO.
    Do you have an idea if it's possible to modify this in the PO? So that we can choose another company code?
    Thanks,
    Michaë

    Ofcourse you can change the company code in the purchase order.
    However please check that same purchase organization is responsible for both the company codes.
    However it might give you an error that plant is not assigned to the company code.
    Therefore the best way is to create the PO without reference of that contract OR you can create a contract for the company code in PO and then create a PO with the same.

  • Change of Company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group.

    Dear All,
    Please advise on change of company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group , we have Cons Structure - at present few companies are in one cons group and as a policy we have to move the companies to another cons group. So please advise me what will be the case if we move int he following senarios:
    1. if till period 012 year 2008,  company A is in Cons Group AA and we want  the same to Cons Group BB. How it  will move to Cons Group BB in a Company code with the opening balances? 
    2. if there is no data in SEM BCS total Cube - and we want to move the Company A from Cons Group AA to Cons Group BB.
    What will be the effect in both the scenarios.  How to do this? if you can specify some steps then I will try to analyze the situation.
    Thanks in advance

    The changes are not complicated but company A must be placed in cons group BB as of period 12 2008 and in the master data of the cons group it should be indicated that the first consolidation is at the end of the period (EOP). Likewise in cons group AA must continue to include company A but in the cons group master data it must be indicated that the period of divestiture is 12 2008 EOP.
    The cons group changes tasks must be executed to move the balances in period 12 2008.
    If there is not data for company A in the totals infocube you may simply drag-and-drop company A from cons group AA to cons group BB without any concerns.
    The affect in each scenario is different because if there is data that is to be reported as part of cons group AA company A must be included in cons group AA.

  • Slow VF04 Process Only on One Company Code

    We have 5 company codes on our system. Last month we create new company code. No problem in Devevelopment or QA Server.
    However, when we transporteded this new company code configuration to Production server, we got VF04 problem.
    VF04 very slow for only one company code (existing company code), it took more than 30 minutes for 1 plant and 1 business date (normally it took about 1-3 minutes for 1 plant).
    The longest time in this process in SM50 is "Sequential Read on CE4xxxx table". What could we do to check why VF04 on existing company code is very slow while in other company codes (including the new one) running normally.
    Thank you so much.

    If the two notes are not applicable, then have a look at this
    Note 1996268 - Performance problem while generating billing documents using VF04    
    If this is also not the root cause for the issue you are facing, then share the following note to your Security team as I already indicated and ask them to follow the steps listed out in this note as this is purely technical related issue and not a functional related issue.

  • Change of Company Code Currency

    Dear All,
    We have a scenario of changing the company code currency. We have an option here.
    Either to
    i) change the currency of a live company code with postings or
    ii) to change the currency of a live company code that has no postings made so far.
    We are sure that we can recommend the second option, however is there any precaution we need to take before making the actual change for the ii) option?
    Anyone who had done this before please let us know what are the cautionary measures to be taken if any?
    Regards,
    Asokan.

    Asokan,
    If the company code has had no postings made so far after going live, then you have a relatively simple situation, and should not face any major problems.
    However, it is essential that the company code not have any postings made in ANY of the systems, including DEVELOPMENT and TEST systems. Go ahead and try to change the company code currency in transaction OX02 in your DEV environment. SAP will not allow you to change the currency for a company code where your current system has postings made to it. Also, if and when you are able to make the change and try to move the TR for this change, your test system (target system for the TR movement) should also have this situation, else there's a good chance the TR might fail in the TEST system.
    There is a transaction for Reset Company Code Data - I don't recollect more details, but do some homework and you'll find it easily. You'll need that before you can undertake this change.
    Read the caution in the transaction for "Reset Company Code Data" carefully as that is irreversible, and is highly disruptive.
    Hope this helps.

    I need to perform authority check on the field NAME1 present in the standard screen - customer master ( T.Code-XD02). Only certain users should be allowed to edit the field and others should be restricted.
    I have created a field exit FIELD_EXIT_AD_NAME1 for the ADRC-NAME1 field.
    Now inside this field exit i need to write the authority-check code.
    I have created the authorisation object Z_KNA1_NAM for the field NAME1 using the SU20 and SU21.
    For this scenario how do i write the authority-check code in my field exit?
    Below is my field exit code,is that correct?
    FUNCTION FIELD_EXIT_AD_NAME1.
    ""Local Interface:
    *" IMPORTING
    *" REFERENCE(INPUT)
    *" EXPORTING
    *" REFERENCE(OUTPUT)
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_KNA1_NAM'
    ID 'NAME1' FIELD SY-UNAME
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MESSAGE 'Not Allowed to Edit the Name 1 Field' TYPE 'E'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    In the above code i have given SY-UNAME in the code line 2 - ID 'NAME1' FIELD SY-UNAME ,is that correct? what should i give there?

  • FBZP -- Changing Paying company code address

    Hi Folks,
    I have changed the Company code address in FBZP (paying company code) in the Sender details tab and saved it to the same Text name. Then I created a transport and moved it to the other DEV client for checking the transport, no changes have occured. Can you please help me. Is there any other way that I should be following to fix this issue.
    thanks.

    Please use Transaction code scc1 and copy the transport in the same environment. Incase you are doing this please make sure the transport request you have generated has the changes included in the request.
    Eg: Please go to the screen which you want to transport and add them into your transport request. you should some times see a tab saying include request. please select this though you have assigened this to a transport request and then save it and exit out the screen.
    The go back to se10 and chekc the unreleased transport requests and check the customizing node. double click it and see if the item you are trying to transport with chnages has been included or if the tranport customizing is just empty.

  • Using Same Bank Account for two different company code

    Can we use the same bank account number and ABA key for two different company codes? Both the company codes are in USA and with the same currency.
    Scenario is to separate one division of the company code to a separate company code. Client wanted to know if we can use the same bank account so that they dont have to open another bank account

    The system will allow the same ABA and bank account on two different company codes.  However, if you use electronic bank statement (EBS) functionality (or plan to use it in the future), you will not be able to import bank statements for the account if it exists on two company codes.  The EBS program uses the house bank/account ID tables to assign a company code to the bank statement.  If the account exists for more than one company code, the program cannot assign a company code and it will give an error.

  • How to identify all the information for a given company code?

    Hi,
    Our company provides data migration services for SAP and other ERP applications. Our customers provide us the specifications for extractions and conversions. We use one or more 3rd party tools to extract data from legacy systems into text/Excel files. Customers use LSMW to load generated files.
    We just got an unusual request. This customer wants to get ALL the data from SAP for a given company code and dump into Excel. They would do some manual editing on the data and load it into a new SAP client.
    In the past, customers would be more specific in their requirements. For example, they will mention Materials, Customers, Inventory, etc. In this case, the customer simply wants ALL the data for a given company code.
    Q1. Is everything in SAP related to company code, either directly or indirectly? For example, can materials be filtered by company code?
    Q2. The tools that we use let us extract data from SAP using SQL-like queries. How do I identify ALL the tables that I would need for a given company code?
    My feeling is the customer themselves are not clear on what they really want. Perhaps they are expecting us to guide them.
    I would appreciate any thoughts that you may have.
    If there is a more appropriate forum for this question, please let me know.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Restrict PR/PO/GR for a particular company code from particular date

    Hi Experts
    How we can restrict PR/PO/GR for a particular company code from a particular date?
    I know PR is not directly linked with company code
    PO can be restricted by deactivating the assignment between company code & plant
    GR- we can use posting period option.?
    Suggest me the best solution for the above requirment.
    Thanks/karthik

    hi
    Obvoiyusly , you can stop the company code posting by not activating the month end closing of periods (MMPV) in MM and similarly in FI ( OB52).
    By removing the assignment you can stop PO creation for the company code but you need to ensure that all the old, un-finished PO/SA and other related activities are taken care off before that.
