Risks when locking Prod in SCC4, but not setting Company Code to productive

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the risks related to not setting Company Codes to productive... even though the Production system is locked in SCC4. Will the lock in SCC4 mitigate the risk of not setting Company Codes to productive?
To my understanding, setting Company Codes to non-productive in the Production system would result in a risk for deleting financial data. I therefore wonder if defining the lock in SCC4 would compensate for this risk.

I asked myself the same question.
The F1-help in SCC4 says the following:
"This field should be maintained by the customer for documentary purposes."
But also:
"- Production clients and SAP reference clients are protected from the client copy tools, including "Copy by Transport Request" (transaction SCC1).
- There is corresponding protection from the automatic Customizing Distribution and other tools.
- In a production client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" are excluded from a client lock or transport connection; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. Other clients usually require a transport request."
So, i think that the client role option is more a documentation thing. But also disables some client copy and automatic transport functionality. In my opinion it should be "production" on a production system because if not there are several functions activated that shouldn´t be for security reasons. 
That´s what i think. Maybe someone can correct me or give more information to this thread.
regards
Tobias

    Hello wilsontot_too,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone.  It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone.  It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
    I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

    My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync.  It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

    Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
    Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.

    P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

    Hi Ravi,
    Controlling area and Company code details are proper. I have to check the SAP Notes which you have provided. What are the conditions to receive this message?
    I have created many assets before in the same company. Yesterday when i was using transaction AS03 to see one asset, system displayed the error message that particular asset was locked by me eventhough I was not doing anything with that Asset. So I used transaction SM12 to delete the lock entries. Later on I checked the transaction AS03 to see the asset, strangely system displaying the error message that particular asset is not availble in the Company code. I have created another asset aswell for testing, the same error message is continuing for this asset also. System is not displaying any error messagewhile creating the asset and displaying error message while display and change mode.
    Please advice me.

  • 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.

  • Error in ASKB "Asset 1-177 0 not in company code LX01'

    Hi Experts,
    Until Jan. 2009, only 1 depreciation area is activated for company code LX01 (01). For some assets, we had retirements/write-up postings. Came Feb. 2009, dep.area 10 was activated.
    With 2009 year-end closing AJAB, the process found an error ' Transactions not periodically posted'. This error upon analysing was due to those assets posted with retirements/write-ups (Jan. 09) and mentioned that ASKB needs to be executed for these assets for deparea 10. It's logical that there are no postings on these new accounts for January and the system should not ask them. For example there also are no depreciation postings in area 10 for January and this does not generate any problem. Then, why in ERP, the ASKB for deparea 10 is needed for those related assets?
    Also, I tried to process ASKB for deparea 10 to complete, but another error prompted: Message AA001 'Asset 1-177 0 not in company code LX01'. With this error message, I changed the 'Deactivation on' field in the masterdata and tried to rerun ASKB, but still this error exists. Would you know why or how this error could be eliminated?
    Kindly help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Asset not in company code

    Dear all
    I am entering a purchase order referncing from requisition, its standard purchase order  while procesing it  system is giving an error  "Asset 0 not in company code"
    Thanks
    Rashid

    If you are not wanting to make an assets purchase order, you will have to remove the account assignment category "A" from the line item of the purchase order.
    If you have entered any account assignment category then you might notice a new tab in the item detail where it asks you for the asset number.
