Relating to Creation of Number of Company Codes.

Question

Hi Experts,
My Client is a Trader and he has 5 different Company Codes. Which are as follows.
1) This Company imports Goods and Sales Locally.-It"s a properitoship
2) This Company Exports Goods - Its a Properitoship.
3) This Company is a shop which sells goods- Its a Partnership Firm.
4) This Company is a shop which sells goods- Its a Partnership Firm.
5) This Company has Group of Shops which sells goods- Its a Partnership Firm.
In the 5th Company Case each shop can be treated as Cost Centre and Profit Centre so that the Reports can be get individually Profit-Centre wise and Consolidated.
Any Other Alternative Solution Please advice.
The Customer from the Third Company can even buy from Fourth or Fifth Company also, and makes the payment from whichever company he purchases. The Customer will be alloted points on all Company purchases irrespectively from which can be reedemed.
Whether the Third, Fourth and Fifth Company can be treated as Single Company Code and each shops can be treated as Profit Centres then How about the Capital to be treated because each firm will have different Capital Amount and Assets and Liabilities.
Any other Alternative solution please advice.
Best Regards

Answer 1

hi,
   I had clearly explained the client requirement in the thread that as per the legal requirement the five company codes have to be seperately filed . Each partnership firms should be filed seperately because the partners are different. If combine the company codes 3,4 and 5 as a single company code and maintain the company codes as profit centers then i can get the report for each profit center. How will the capital , Liabilities and assets be maintained in the profit centers because each firm will have  different capital. The accounts will be combined for the three companies whether it is correct as per legal requirement.
If i maintain different company code for each company code then i will have to maintain the customer from company code 3 should be present in 4 and 5 and vice versa. The customer will make the payment from which company code he purchases. But the points on purchase will be maintained and after reaching certain point he can reedeem the consoildate point  from any company if this is the scneario pls advise me how the company code structure to be maintained.
