Query About a Group Chart of Account

Hello SAP Gurus,
My client has configured group Chart of Account for consolidation as well as keeping the GL code stucture uniform throughout the Global company codes. However, in OBY3 I can see that the same COA has been assigned as "Group COA". Also to inform you that all the company codes around the world use the same COA as their operating COA. They are not using different COAs.
Please let me know how this is possible? Can the same COA is assigned as Group COA to itself? I think a separate COA is created as Group COA and assigned to this operating COA.
Please clarify my doubt.
Thanks in advance
Sagar

Hi sagar
i will tell you how the group COA works.
suppose you have 2 company codes and you maintain same chart of account for both company codes. for consolidation you will have to maintain a group COA as your company is doing already.
now we maintain same account group and numbers too but for group COA and operational COA for option 1 as i said..
now there is a configuration we do
see              fin a/c -
> prepration for consolidation -
> general specification   ..
thus for fetching consolidated data in the f.01 we give the global COA nd the FSV maintained for the same..
see whether your company is following this procedure if not then ask the end users how they fetch the consolidated data?
what process they follow.
regards
Rohit

    Hi,
    Acccording to the code of the message, it's a user-defined one. Therefore, you should check your settings. Most probably, you have activated user-exit for accounts master data (SAPMF02H enhancement).

  • Group Chart of Account Reports

    Dear expert,
    I am trying to generate some Trial Balance report based on Group Chart of Accounts, but couldn't find any that works.
    Example,
    company code 1000 is assigned to CoA = INT and Group CoA =CONS.
    When I generate Balances report based on CONS, it said " company code 1000 is incompatible with CONS".
    Hence, would like to get advse how you guys generate balances report for Group chart of account using standard report. Or what other method available?
    Thanks.

    Dear Ruksana,
    This is a standard report, I do not expect many errors. Meanwhile, please let me know what is the error message number you are getting.
    The selection criteria would be:
    Chart of Accounts : Enter your Group COA
    Company Codes: Enter your company codes
    Financial Statement Version : Enter the FSV
    Reporting Year : Usually current fiscal year
    Reporting Periods : 1 to 16
    Comparison Year : Usually Previous fiscal year
    Comparison Periods : 1 to 16
    Keep other parameters as usual.
    Hopefully, this should give the results.

  • Issue with Group Chart of Accounts

    HI All,
    Good Morning. I have 2 Comp Codes, using different Chart of Accounts and have 0001 as Group Chart of Accounts. When I try to create GL Account in One Comp Code, giving Group Account Number,  I am getting the below error.
    "Corporate Group Accounting 200121 not defined in Group Chart of Accounts"
    What I have done was that during creation of COAs for the above 2 Comp Codes, I have assigned Group Chart of Accounts 0001 to them.
    Pls let me know if any configuration was missed out.
    Niranjan

    HI Murali,

  • Group chart of accounts

    Hello friends,
    Can anyone throw some light on this pretty small topic?
    what is group chart of accounts?
    what is the minimum configuration for the same?
    i have a small issue..
    my client is in US and is using one chat of accounts..and their head office is using a different COA..in Korea
    Now they want the FIn. Stmnt with those GL account numbers ..i.e korean COA...
    please tell me some way to do the same..
    regards

    you can define alternative chart of account(CoA). And for each account (for ex. US account) you select respective Gl account from the alternative CoA. So when you run most of the reports later, you can choose (there is check-box "Alternative accounts") and this will show you the report with the alternative accounts.
    The maintenance of the alternative CoA is the same as normal CoA. The only difference is that you set for each CoA or company code which is the alternatvice CoA. You can have only 1 alternative CoA.
    Hopes I helped. (if so... reward my reply)

    Hi,
    1. chart of accounts--> common set of accounts.
    2. Group of acts--> group chart of acts.
    Generally we use common set of acts.
    For common set of A/c-->OB13.
    For A/C groups>OBD4>new entries> give your chart of A/C, A/C group, name, from A/C and to A/c> SAVE.
    Assigning company code to chart of accounts-->OB62.
    Thanks.

  • Impact of activing Group Chart of Account alone

    Dear Experts,
    What if i just active group chart of account and without enabling the whole consolidation funciton, what potential impact i might get?
    Thanks for any advices!

    Hi,
    Consolidation function is a total different set of activiteis. Consolidation is generally done by using ec-cs on different instance with the use of BI folowing the set of procedures.
    If you just activate the group chart of account you need to give respective account number while defining the Operating COA. With the help of this you can create FSV & different reports based on accounts & FSV on group coa level.

    Hello,
    There are three chart of accounts will be there in the system.
    1. Operating Chart of Account - for day to day activities
    2. Group Chart of Account - for group reporting
    3. Country Chart of Account - for legal reporting in the country
    Any chart of account is a chart of account. Every chart of account irrespective of operating or group or country chart of account will have two segments.
    1. Chart of Account Segment
    2. Company Code Segment
    Both the segments can be created through FS00.
    You have create a recording through LSMW and create each chart of account.
    Refer the following link for LSMW
    www.scmexpertonline.com/downloads/SCM_LSMW_StepsOnWeb.doc
    Before uploading data thorugh LSMW, create chart of account names in OB13.
    If you assign group chart of account to operating chart of account in OB13, Group account field will appear in GL account of operating chart of account.
