Reg. Company Code and Charts of account

Hi All,
I am trying to create a customer but Since there is no GL Account not able to complete the creation of Customer. I tried creating a GL Account but there also i am not able to save the GL Account becuase its throwing an error Select the Charts of Account.
I need to know what is Charts of Account means (as of what I know is the chart which shows the Profit & Loss in country specific format) and how does it link with the Company Code.

Senthil Nattamai Sekar

Dear Senthil,
Chart of accounts
A classification scheme consisting of a group of general ledger (G/L) accounts.
A chart of accounts provides a framework for the recording of values to ensure an orderly rendering of accounting data. The G/L accounts it contains are used by one or more company codes.
For each G/L account, the chart of accounts contains the account number, the account name, and technical information.
A chart of accounts must be assigned to each company code. This chart of accounts is the operative chart of accounts and is used in both financial accounting and cost accounting. Other charts of accounts include:
Country-specific charts of accounts -
These are structured in accordance with legal requirements of the country in question
Group chart of accounts -
This is structured in accordance with requirements pertaining to Consolidation.
IMG path do define and assign chart of accounts is
SPRO>IMG>Finnancial accounting>General Ledger Accounting>G/L Accounts>Master Records>Preparations>Edit Chart of Accounts List>Assign Company Code to Chart of Accounts
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

hi geeta,
ClientA Client is the highest unit within an SAP system and contains Master records and Tables. Data entered at this level are valid for all company code data and organizational structures allowing for data consistency. User access and authorizations are assigned to each client created. Users must specify which client they are working in at the point of logon to the SAP system.
A CompanyA Company is the unit to which your financial statements are created and can have one to many company codes assigned to it. A company is equivalent to your legal business organization. Consolidated financial statements are based on the companyu2019s financial statements. Companies are defined in configuration and assigned to company codes. Each company code must use the same COA( Chart of Accounts) and Fiscal Year. Also note that local currency for the company can be different.
Company CodesCompany Codes are the smallest unit within your organizational structure and is used for internal and external reporting purposes. Company Codes are not optional within SAP and are required to be defined. Financial transactions are viewed at the company code level. Company Codes can be created for any business organization whether national or international. It is recommended that once a Company Code has been defined in Configuration with all the required settings then other company codes later created should be copied from the existing company code. You can then make changes as needed. This reduces repetitive input of information that does not change from company code to company code as well as eliminate the possibility of missed data input.
Business Area Business Area is optional and is equivalent to a specific area of responsibility within your company or business segment. BA (Business Area) also allows for internal and external reporting.
Another configuration requirement for set-up in SAP are the Basic settings consisting of the following:
Chart of Accounts(COA)
Fiscal Year Variants.
Currencies
The COA(Chart of Accounts)
The COA(Chart of Accounts) lists all General Ledger accounts that are used by the organization. It is assigned in configuration to each company code and allows for daily General Ledger postings.
Fiscal Year configuration
Fiscal Year configuration is a must and can be defined to meet your companyu2019s reporting periods whether Fiscal (any period combination that is not calendar) or Calendar( Jan-Dec).
Posting Periods are defined and assigned to the Fiscal Year.
Within the periods you specify start dates and finished dates.
SAP allows for 12 posting periods along with specially defined periods that can be used for year-end financial closing.

Difference between Group A/c and Chart of Account with serval Company Code

Hi Friends,
Please explain the term chart of account with serval company code and also group a/c.
Thanks and regards,
Dev

Hi Mahendra
The Chart of Accounts is a list/directory of the G/L acounts maintained in the company. This COA can be used by one or many company codes.
For e.g Co code A located in Delhi and Co code B In Mumbai may use the same COA for reporting as well as consolidation purpose.
Group COA is maintained when there are more than one COA (e.g country-specific and operating COA) being used in the company. In this case the COA maintain alternative account numbers to the same account for automatic updation and consolidation.
I hope this helps.

Kavitha

6.     Entry Company code no does not exist in SKB! (G/L account company master)
7.     Company coode ZR02 is not attached to field status variant

Hello,
There is no such automatic copy function from Chart of Account Segment to Company Code Segment.
You need to write LSMW by recording and upload the GL accounts into company code segment.
Use the following guide for your guidance.

Change Company Code and Sales Organization

I have a group of records numbering about ~1K records that are in the wrong Company Code and Sales Organization. I can identifiy this group and put them in a flat file but they have account numbers that are not linear, by which I mean they aren't account numbers 1 to 1000. WITHOUT creating new customer mater records, how can I simply change the Company Code and Sales Organization code for these records? I've looked at the XD99 transaction but that seems to be limited to a range of accounts?

Hi Mark
It is not possible to change the Company Code and Sales Organisation of an Existing Customer.
The only option is that you can Extend the same Customer to New Co. Code and Sales Org. by using XD01. You may use old customer as reference. Once you create the new Customer Master you may block the Old Customer master initially and later on Delete them or Archive them.

Steps to define company code and its dependent entries for mm,pm

Hi Experts,
kindly share that how to define company code and its dependent assignments for PM & MM module

Dear Hitendra
Company code, Contolling area, Profit Center are Financials related fields and are mapped under FI Enterprise structure as its Org unit. Plant (Logistics Plant) is defined in MM. Related modules like PP, PM, SD extend this logistics plant in their repsective modules as Production Planning Plant, Production Plant, Maintenance Planning Plant, Maintenance Plant, Sales Plant etc.
Company code is never defined in any logistics moudle , its in Financials where it is defined. It is then assigned to the Plant in logistics thru which the company code gets populated easily in respective modules.In contolling end, its controlling area that talks.

Company code and Purchase Org during vendor registration

Hi,
I have one enterprise context, with many company codes and purchasing org.
I am aware that vendor master data is at enterprise level in ESO. However while integrating to backend i need to capture the relevant co code and Purchasing org.
When the Purchaser wants to create a vendor, there does not seem anyway to enter which Purchasing org and company code the vendor should be created for.
Need your suggestions for the following options
1) capture co code and Purchasing org on bespoke fields and then in PI, pass these values to Co code and Purch org resp
2) create company contexts - would this resolve this? what are the implications if one vendor needs to be extended to multiple co codes
regards
Subrote

Hi,
Have you imported integration config workbook.
As part of ECC integartion guide we have couple of workbook and XML needs to integrated, which will create all the required extension for vendor master and vendor registration.
Once you imported the integration workbook, you will able to see the company code and purchasing org screens in vendor master.
Thank you,

PO creation-ME21n-Why SAP does not check company code and Plant relation

Hi All,
Does someone know, why SAP does not check Plant and company code relation at the time of PO creation or how can we put validation between plant and company code at the time of PO creation.
<b>Example:</b> Suppose i have a company 0001 which is assinged to Plant 0001. when i am creating a PO with another company code 0002(Entering at header level-Org, data) and using Plant 0001 at line item level. SAP does not do this validation.
How can we put this check in place?
Thanks in advance.
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
There are three types of purchasing
- Company code specific :You need to assign company code to Pur organization
- Plant specific : You must assign plant to pur organization
- Cross company purchasing: No assignment between company code and pur organization.
In the case 3, the system will not check company code and plant relationship, but it will check plant and pur organization specific.
The following is the copy of sap help text:
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
Now, check your company-code and purchase organization assignment.
Hope this helps.

Please help me with the following requirement..
Company Code = ABCD

Automatic creation of Company Code and Sales Area Data for Customer Master

Hi,
We have a organisation structure setup with multiple company codes and sales areas.
A customer will be created using VD01 via the Sales Order VA01. Because the customers are created using VD01 we need to automatically extend the customer for the various company codes and sales areas. The data on these views will be populated using reference customers.
Any recommendations on the best approach (technically) to auto extend the customer master would be appreciated.
I'm reluctant to use BDC's because of performance. We are in a Retail environment.
Thanks in advance

Company Code and Tax company

Hi Experts,
Help me to define what's the difference between the company code and a tax company. Do we have any integration between company code and tax company. I have a scenario with a client where they have only one company code and asking me to define multiple tax companies so that the can generate the W'2 seperately based on the tax company. My concern in this was when we run the tax reporter it will look for the temse files so if we define multiple tax companies with one company code will it effect us any way when we do the w'2 from the tax reporter at the year end.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Raj Aitha

Hi,
1) Tax Cos are not assigned directly to co.Code. These are assigned to the Personnel areas (Table V_t5uop).
2) Tax co.is assigned to a distinct Employer Identification Number (EIN) and is mapped to a BSI tax company for tax calculation purposes.
3) You may also want to check feature UTXRP & UTXTM based on your requirement & business process.
Hope this helps.
