Rename Company code

Hi SAP Profs.

Please reply it asap its urgent
Thanks in advance
Rajesh

Hi rajesh,
1.first thing, any change you make in SPRO would result in a request so you have to transport it across all the systems of the landscape till PRD to maintain uniformity.
2.Am not sure how changing the name should have a bearing on any functinality and may not be recommended in the first place. Name gets importance only by the functionality we attribute to it. Please reconsider this decision in the first place.
3.Once a name is fixed ie ABCD company code, it cannot be changed but only the description. Even if you copy the name into a new company code, there will be plenty of settings which you have to change which is very sensitive and cumbersome. Am not sure what kind of business requirement needs this perhaps dangerous move.
4. In a way you are doing a new project where resources must be thre if its required. The settings of company code change not only effect SD but other functions like MM, PP and within FI many.

Customer-based BP role, Company Code level data

System ECC 5.0.
May be somebody can help me in a problem with Company code level data for BP.
I'm trying to create new BP in custom Z role (created by me), on company code data screen I cannot set "Company Code Is Valid for Customer" indicator on company code selection dialog box.
I use custom Z role with assigned custom Z rolecategory (with active BP-customer syncronizaton), It seems that there is a missing setting in SPRO for rolecategory that activate possibility to enter company code data.....

After some investigation.... the problem was not in customising, but in some requirements from code: BP role should have the same name as s BP rolecategory. After renaming it goes.

Assign Valuation Class to Company Code

Hi Gurus...
Quick Question: we are migrating from R3 to ECC 6. One of Treasury Management config points is Valuation Class definition. R3 used to have a config point in IMG called Assign Valuation Class to Company Code/Transaction Type. But I cannot find same in ECC6. Even CTRL-F does not help. Did it get moved and renamed?
Thanks,
JS

Hi,
Don't know the IMG path but what you can try:
1. Go to the required IMG transaction in R/3 and look up the table / view (click on a field in the IMG transaction / push F1 / click icon Technical Information)
2. In ECC 6 go to transaction SM30, fill in the table / view name from step 1
3. Click icon Customizing
4. In pop-up click Continue w/o Specifying Project
5. An overview appears with IMG config points where the specified table / view is maintained. Choose the appropiate one by double clicking.
Prerequisite is the existence of an IMG activity exists for object maintenance.

Company code deletion

hai Guys,
I have assigned my company code to palnts ,P.og etc.
after sometime I want to delete the com .code for some reason and
redefine and assign the same name ..
What is the Impact if i do the same... Pls answer ...
Thanks

Hi,
A lot depends on if it is a production (live) system or not and how much has been put through this company code (financially or stock wise etc.)
But I always avoid deleting major organisation elements such as company code and plant (because of the integration and the effect on historical data posted against the record so far)
If it has not been used or if it is not a live system then you can rerassign it and rename it without much problem, but in a live system I would prefer to use a new company code if there have been ANY postings whatsoever.

SLO for company code merger

Hi, I understand that the SLO allows the ability for merging of multiple company codes, eg A1 and A2 become B1 (it also allows conversion from old to new values, eg C1 becomes D1...)
However, does it treat records intelligently, eg
A1 has $100 loans payable with A2
A2 has $100 loans receivable with A1
SLO merges A1 and A2 to B1
After SLO, what do you get?
- nothing, or
- B1 has $100 loans payable with B1
B1 has $100 loans receivable with B1
Some discussion of SLO here, but not much detail:
Re: Merge 2 company codes
Any help, useful information or links much appreciated.

Hi,
I am part of the SLO Team.
Yes, SLO has many services in regards to Company code. We do Company code merge, CC deletion, CC Split, CC Rename etc.
As the business requirement is unique for each customer, we have lot of flexibility in deciding the outcome/result of the new company code.
From your above example, YOU can decide how you would like to maintain the new CC B1.
You could either close both loans prior merging or also cancel it out as both CC are merged.
Generally for any CC service we do a complete analysis of your system and decide how to merge the CC.
Check this link for further details.

Migrating 3 company codes data to 1 company code.

Hi all,
We are one legal entity, imparting educational training and operating its activities at three locations namely Gurgaon, Dehradun and
Rajamundary. In addition it has two administrative offices at Delhi and Mumbai besides a few other rented premises.
The implementation team has created one company as XYZ and created three separate company codes for each of the operational unit at Gurgaon, Dehradun and Rajamundary. All the existing company codes have been assigned to one Chart of Account. The operating units are neither independent legal entities nor are required to generate location-wise Final Accounts.
However the existing system is not meeting our requirement and we wish to operate thru one company code only.
Accordingly we plan to generate one more company code and migrate all the data from existing three company codes to this new one on a pre fix
cut off date. After that we will record all the transactions in this new
company code only and the existing codes would not be used further.
In this regard please advise us the steps required to be followed to migrate the combined data of three company codes to one company code.
Kind Regards,
Sudhanshu

Sell-off of parts of the company
A company group sells the portfolio of one of its divisions to another company. As a result, the data that relates to the sold company division must be removed from the groups SAP system, and transferred to the new owner.
With the "client separation service, SLO offers two possible approaches to the solution. Either the data that the sold part of the company needs is migrated to a new client using one of the data transfer methods (Legacy System Migration Workbench or Migration Workbench), or a client copy is created for the sold part of the company, and the data that the parent company no longer requires is removed from the client copy using the SLO service "delete company code.
Company merger
A company buys or takes over another company. The acquired company uses a different material numbering system than the buying company, for example. However, from the point of acquisition on, the same material numbers must be used, and it is therefore necessary to change the material numbers of the bought company.
With the SLO conversion service "material number conversion, the material numbers of the bought company are changed so that they correspond to the naming conventions used in the parent company. This is done using the Conversion Workbench.
Reorganization/restructuring in the company
A company was previously organized according to regions, and based its SAP system on this structure. However, an analysis of business processes reveals that a central, function-based organization would considerably increase efficiency in controlling. As a result, the controlling areas used to map the structure of the company in the SAP system must be adjusted accordingly.
With the help of the SLO service "controlling area merge and the Conversion Workbench, the old controlling areas, which were set up on a regional basis, can be merged into central units.
Optimization of business processes
In a government department, different standard charts of accounts are used for external and internal financial reporting. The duplicate work that this entails is becoming increasingly time-consuming and error-prone. The managers responsible decide that the external chart of accounts could also be used internally. As a result, the chart of account in the government departments SAP system must be adjusted to reflect this change.
The SLO conversion service "chart of account conversion makes it possible to rename or merge accounts and cost elements in the chart of account so that they meet the new requirements. The assignment table in which the changes are defined is retained in the SAP system after conversion for documentation purposes for an external audit, for example.

Error while assigning Chart fo dep to Company code.

Hi,
I am getting an error "Inconsistency between FI company code PJP1 and chart of deprec. ZJCD" when i am trying to assign chart of depreciation to company code.
The details description is below:
Inconsistency between FI company code PJP1 and chart of deprec. ZJCD
Message no. AC481
Diagnosis
You tried to assign chart of depreciation ZJCD to company code PJP1. According to its Customizing definition, this company code manages parallel currencies.
The chart of depreciation does not contain a corresponding depreciation area for each of the currency types that are defined in the company code.
System Response
This assignment is not possible.
Procedure
1. Check the currency types of the company code.
2. Specify a corresponding depreciation area for each currency type.
Please let me know what should i do in this case.
Regards,
Dinesh Lakhotiya

Hi Paul,
It is already defined for my chart of depreciation.
However, i think i am missing one step: Define depreciation areas for foriegn currencies.
When i went into this step, i found that my company code is missing. No depreciation area currency is maintaine for my company code. There is no options of new entries also. If i want to maintain the same, how would i do that?
Awaiting response.

Error while creating asset master on a new company code

Hi there,
While trying to create a new asset master - Asset class XXX cannot be used in company code XXXX
    Message no. AA130
Diagnosis
    When you create an asset, the system determines the chart of
    depreciation from the company code definition. In order for a chart of
    depreciation to be available for an asset class during asset
    maintenance, the chart of depreciation has to be entered for that asset
    class (Determine class valuation). Chart of depreciation YYYY that was
    determined is not entered for asset class 123
System Response
    You cannot create any assets in your company code for this class.
Please revert if you have any details regarding this. I am sure I am getting this error because of a missing entry in v_ankbv. But i am not sure on what is the config step i m missing.
Thanks,

You need to configure the node 'Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class' T Code-OAYZ.
Path : Financial Accounting (New) > Asset Accounting > Valuation > Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class.
Assuming you have already done the other prior config steps involved like., Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code, Asset Classes etc.,
You can also refer to the Best Practices Configuration guide (Link Below) for further details:

Prevent creation of a PO to a non company code Vendor

Hi,
We have had a scenario where we have been ableo to create a purchase order to a vendor that doesnt exist in that company code. The purchase order will let you Goods receipt this also and will only cause a problem upon invoicing it.
Since a Purchase order is considered a legal document we believe we should be able to prevent PO being saved if the vendor used does not exist in the company code selected in the PO header data.
I can see why sap allows it as you put in the vendor before the company code is entered but can we prevent this being saved or a message coming up on the system when this combination is entered?
Thanks

Hi Tracey Sparry,
This can achieved as below.
An organizational unit in Logistics, subdividing an enterprise according to the requirements of Purchasing.
A purchasing organization procures materials and services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and is responsible for such transactions.
You specify the form of procurement by assigning purchasing organizations to company codes and plants.
Possible forms are:
Enterprise-wide: One purchasing organization procures for all the company codes of a client - that is, for all companies belonging to a corporate group
Company-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one company code
Plant-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one plant
In this way you can assig purchase orgnization to company code which is not necessary but in you case it is necessary so when you are creating vendor with purcahse org and company code it will establish link when you are creating purchase org and company code it will not not allow to proceed further it gives error that xxx vendor id not defined in company code and purchase org and stop further to save PO.

Creation of SC or POs based on the Company Code restriction

Dear All,
I am abaper and I am new to SRM. Ours is SRM 4.0 using Extended Classic Scenario
we got one requirement that one company ex: SE04 should be blocked for further ordering of SC and POs. i.e. when creating any SC or PO they dont want to use 'SE04'. If selected it should throw an error message "Company Code SE04 can't be used for Procurement".
I wrote code in BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI-BBP_DOC_CHECK like this..
IF flt_val = 'BUS2121'. "When create SC
LOOP AT lt_item INTO ls_item WHERE be_co_code = 'SE04'
                                    AND del_ind <> 'X'.
    CLEAR ls_message.
    ls_message-msgty   = 'E'.
    ls_message-msgid   = 'BBP_PU'.
    ls_message-msgno   = '001'.
    ls_message-msgv1   = text-001.
    APPEND ls_message TO et_messages.
ENDLOOP.
endif.
and for po also BUS2201 we done the same.
it is working fine for creation of SC and POS, but when we are chaning old SC or POs for 'SE04' then also error is coming "Company Code SE04 can't be used for Procurement".
When I put break point in BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI-BBP_DOC_CHECK it is not stopping there also.
Please guide me for this..
Thanks,
Kiran Madineni

I written code like this: now working for old SC and POs.
IF flt_val = 'BUS2121'. "When create SC
    IF cs_header-created_at >= '20110110000000'.
*if sy-title = 'Shop' and ( sy-tcode = 'BBPSC01' or sy-tcode = 'BBPSC02' or sy-tcode = 'BBPSC03' ).
      IF sy-tcode = 'BBPSC01' OR sy-tcode = 'BBPSC02' OR sy-tcode = 'BBPSC03'
        OR ( sy-tcode = 'BBPSC04' AND sy-title = 'Change Shopping Cart' ).
        LOOP AT lt_item INTO ls_item WHERE be_co_code = 'SE04'
                                          AND del_ind <> 'X'.

Creation of New Company code

Hi,
The customer has asked to create a Company code, i have created it.
I have maintained the required Configuration in Enterprise structure, Financial accounting Global setting, General ledger Accounting.
i can do the posting to this Co.code in FB01.
Now, do i need to do anything in Controlling for this New Co.code?
And also, Please explain what is " Cross-system Company codes"?
because while doing posting in FB01, i got error that, the Cross-system Company codes ia not maintained. so i have maintained it in Global Organization Units.
Thanks,
Vidya

Dear Vidya,
Definition
Cross-system company codes are used in the distribution in financial accounting. There is exactly one central system for each cross-system company code in the distributed environment. One company code has to be assigned to this cross-system company code on each system involved in the distribution.
When sending an I-Doc with company code-dependent data, the company code is replaced with the cross-system company code in all company code fields. When receiving this kind of IDoc the reverse conversion takes place on the target system.
In this section you maintain the cross-system company codes and allocate them to the local company codes.
Recommendation
The use of cross-system company codes and business areas in distributed financial accounting is a provisional measure. SAP reserves the right to replace this in a future release with a tool that allows a conversion for all the organizational units of the SAP system.
Therefore SAP recommends that you choose consistent identifiers for the company code and the cross-system company code.
Activities
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.

F.01 - extract to consolidation on company code level

Hi everyone
We're trying to do an extract to consolidation on company code level (1). When popup dialog "Filename for extraction file" appears we can choose between presentation server or application server.
When choosing presentation server and logical filename ECCS_FILE we get error GC027 (Error opening file c:\temp\EXTRACT_CS_CO.txt).
Doing so choosing application server however works (whereas path isn't the same).
We already checked and double-checked settings of logical file name and logical path in transaction FILE.
Any suggestions what to do or isn't it supposed to work via presentation server?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all
Renaud

I have not seen anything that you have mentioned to enter file path?
Is this being customised for your Company?
How did you download this before?

BRF expression to check company code in SC

Hello,
I need to check company code in SC as a starting condition. There is standard expression 0V_IN_COMPANYCODE to check Company code in Invoice with those parameters :
Result Type : C
Access FM : /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000
0C_C1_C_FWFINRLCNTNT     Class: /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_INV     C     30
0C_C2_C_GET_PROPERTY     Method - Get Atrribute Value     C     12
0C_C3_C_COMPANYCODE     Company Code     C     30
I created a Z expression Z_SC_COMPANY with SC class and those parameters :
Result Type : C
Access FM : /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000
0C_C1_C_FWFSCRLCNTNT     Class: /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_SC     C     28
0C_C2_C_GET_PROPERTY     Method - Get Atrribute Value     C     12
0C_C3_C_COMPANYCODE     Company Code     C     30
In an other expression I check Z_SC_COMPANY = '1234' And it does NOT work.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please go to SWO1 transaction and check attributes for BUS2121 and BUS2205.
You pass Company Code parameter which does not exist in SC. System can not get value from Business Object.
You can create sub object and add attributes in SC Business Object if you need to use standard FM.

Masa
