Running JVA & Non-JVA Company Codes with a single Controlling Area

Hello,
I am currently working on a consolidation project. Our scenarios will involve activating JVA in some company codes while it is not activated in some other company codes. We intend to maintain a single controlling area in CO for all these company codes i.e. JVA and Non-JVA company codes have a common controlling area.
I would like hear from gurus that have implemented or a are supporting a scenario in which JVA and Non-JVA company codes share a common controlling area. I'd like to know if the technical and/or operational challenges of this scenarios, if there are any issues to keep in mind and possible work-arounds.
Any help in this regard would be appreaciated.
Thanks.
Oluwafemi.

Hello,
From FI/CO/JVA perspective there should not be any issues, even if two company codes one JVA active and other non JVA active are there in the same controlling area.(I have been part of the implementation where both JVA and non JVA company codes resides in the same controlling area)
Its important to ask from consolidation purpose are you going to use any of the JVA table. If yes then you have to be careful because non JVA active company code information will not be stored in the JVA table.
It would be gr8, if you can share some of the apprehension from consolidation perspective, so that we can elaborate on the issues.
Thanks & Regards

Assign Company Codes to new Credit Controlling areas after going live.

Dear FI Experts;
Our Status Now:
We Have 3 Company Codes, CC 1000, 2000, 3000 and one Credit Controlling Area Code 0001, and the Customers are assigned to this Credit Controlling area with no problems and we are live since about 9 months ago.
Requirement:
We have a requirement to split the Customer Credit limit between companies, which means we have to create more credit control areas for example CCA 0002, and 0003, and though assign our 3 company codes to the new credit control areas, as follows:
CC 1000 to CCA 0001
CC2000 to CCA 0002
CC3000 to CCA 0003
And my Question is, what is the procedures to follow to do that (Not a Customization Procedures, I mean the How the Customers would be affected and the open items for them and how to resolve that), since as mentioned above we are already live since 9 months ago, and credit management is active and all our customers are assigned to our old Credit control area 0001, and also what is the consequence of doing that new assignment since we are live, thanks for your reply

You will need to manage to create new credit master data under new credit control area. System should reorganize existing credit data after reassignment, that is when you change master data (create credit master under new credit control area), new credit exposure is calculated based on AR in company code and existing open orders will get rechecked for credit under new credit control area & new risk categories assigned to them.

Remove Company Code with all the Employees in it from r/3?

Hi i have a bit unusual requirement.
i want to know how can i Remove a Company Code with all its assigned Employees completely from a system(r/3) ?
can this be possible at all? if yes then please also mentions what can be the side effects of this action.

Jack,
You will have to follow reverse engineering....
As Sikandar Guru Mentioned.....identify all the PERNRs for mass deletion....
Secondly I believe, that you want to Delete the Company Code.....check with Finance Folks.......If they have no issues, you can delete the co. code with TCODE EC01... but this will not delete the Relationships to Personnel area...etc.
There may be custom Features, Reports or programs functioning based on Co. Code.......
So, in a way....its not feasible..neither wise to attempt deletion of Co. Code....
S_PHO_48000106 is the TCode for Mass Deletion.
Good Luck !!!

Company codes with different fiscal year variants in a controlling area

Hi all,
When I try to assign a company code with different fiscal year variant than controlling area I get error. It is ok so far.
However, after assigning company with same fsv to controlling area the system lets me to change company code's fsv in company code global settings and I can even save it.
So I wonder how it would be possible ? Why do I get just a warning instead of an error and save ?
Thanks and regards.
M.Yusuf Dogan

Hi Bulut,
There are 12 normal and 3 special periods in the fsv of the company code which i'm trying to assign. However, controlling area's fsv has 12 normal and 4 special periods. I get an error message "KT297".
Actually, my point is that if the company code's fsv is same with co's I can assign but the system lets me change cc's fsv after assignment.

How to upload multiple company codes data for single vendor by LSMW Idoc

Hi ,

uploading data by LSMW Idoc method
In source file we have two company codes data for single vendor.
It should create vendor for two company codes.
But its not creating its showing error.
How to handle this?
Thanks in Advance.

have you ever see this docu:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1a/178ac72d3011d3bc3500105a6588b2/content.htm
You can use the recording function to create a new object (or a new "import method") if neither a standard batch input program nor a standard direct input program nor the BAPI/IDoc method is available for a data object.
Recordings are static, thats why you cannot do such flexible things like multiple company codes at the same time.
But with IDOC method it is certainly possible, I have done it several times already.
Unfortunatly the creator of this thread did not say what error he got with the IDOC method. Maybe he will add this. Otherwise I dont think that anybody can help

Error: Reason codes with automatic charge-off are not permitted here(F-28)

Hi All
I creted a reason code in obxl t-code and assigned a gl code in OBXL transaction code, But when I am trying to clear a payment with reason code in F-28, System is throwing the following error..Can some one tell me why i am getting this error?
Reason codes with automatic charge-off are not permitted here
Message no. F5605
Diagnosis
The reason code entered is designed to ensure that the payment difference amount is posted to an account specially set up for this purpose. Postings of this nature usually require additional specifications (e.g. tax code, business area). If the difference stems from a single open item, the necessary specifications can be taken from that item. In the case that led to this error message, however, the difference does not stem soley from one item, which means that this method cannot be used.
System Response
The reason code entered is not accepted.
Procedure
You can either select a different reason code, which would create a new open item for the customer or vendor OR write off the difference using the function Charge off diff.. This function either takes you into a pre-configured account assignment model or into the document overview. From here you can enter the required difference postings.

Hi Venkata,
It seems while entering the payment (partial payment / residual items) ... you are clearing multiple items with differences. (e.g. if the difference amount is $30, then may the difference consists of two invoices underpaid by $15 each). In this scenario, F-28 doesn't know which additional account assignment fields should be picked up ... hence the error.
First of all, to validate that this indeed is the case, try clearing a payment with the same reason code where difference can be attributed to a single invoice. If you still get an error, then there is some other problem.
Then, to take care of a the business scenario where the difference can indeed be due to multiple documents, select "charge off difference" option and create an entry to post the difference as necessary.

Same material master in two company codes with batch management

Hi,
There are two company codes in one client. In one batch management is already active. But in another company code batch management is not required. Is it possible to have batch management active in one company code and inactive in another company code where both the co. codes are in the same client? The same material master to be used in both company codes.
Thanks,
Satya.

Hi Satyabarata,
As far as you dont want to move the same materiel i.eStock Transfer with Inter comapy billing scenario then it will be fine.
If you try to Transfer a Batch manged material into a non batch manged CC it will work fine. But on the other hand when do via-versa the system will ask for the Batch information where the Batch management is active.
If you want to use same Material Master for both CC then its not advisable.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thx.

Different Company Code with same fiscal year variant and controlling area

Hi
I have three company codes in three three different countries: 1000 (ABC India), 2000 (ABC Inc, US), 3000 (ABC Dubai)
But our consultants have assigned only one fiscal year variant V3 and one controlling area 1000 (with fiscal year variant v3)
So what problem one may face because of above settings and what is ideal setting for such scenario
Edited by: Meenu_ND on Oct 18, 2010 2:35 PM

I have one leading ledger and two non leading ledger (i.e Group ledger and IFRS ledger). But Fiscal year variant is not mentioned for both the non leading ledgers.
So i think it will take V3 only for non leading ledgers too.
And in your solution, since India is main company, fiscal year variant for leading ledger needs to be V3 only.
What if i keep non leading ledger as fiscal year from Jan to Dec. Then it will be:
Leading Ledger: April to March
Non leading ledger: Jan to Dec
In above case, do i need to create separate controlling area ?

Different Bank charges GL account for two company codes with same COA

Hi,
While configuring OBXK ( Automatic GL account for bank charges) , I see there is provision to enter only one GL account per chart of accounts.
We have two company codes using same chart of accounts but different bank charges GL account. Please tell me how to configure this.
Thanks,
suresh

Hi,
Thanks Krishnan and Chandra.
I agree with you it could be the same GL account for bank charges, but the business requirement is such that in one of the two company codes, bank charges are required to be tracked separately to be subsequently transferred to the other company code. This means two separate GL accounts are required for two company codes which needs to be configured in OBXK.
Hope this clarifies my query further.
thanks,
suresh

How to link ECC Company code with BCS Consolidation unit

I have to create new consolidation unit in BCS, parallelly in SAP R/3 also I have created a company code.
I could read following in the forum :-
The Company Codes from ECC are assigned to the characteristic Company in BCS, thus creating a one to one relationship between ECC & BCS company codes.
BUT HOW TO DO THE SAME.
Also any advise on Profit centre and cost centre etc in BCS in line with ECC. This is first time I am configuring in BCS,

Typically in ECC company codes are assigned to a company. The company is typically used for cons unit in BCS, but it is not uncommon for company code to be used as cons unit.
When company code is used, it is an attribute of the characteristic company and thus in the load mapping, the company is mapped to the attribute company code. This results in company code being mapped to company.
Otherwise, if company code is in the databasis as the cons unit role, then it is simply mapped to company code to company code.
For profit center and cost center, these are typically assigned the role subassignment, but it is not uncommon for profit center to be a cons unit for a matrix consolidation. However, these characteristics must first be included in the totals/databasis infocube.

Operating concern for two company code with different currency

Hi,
We are merging two company code into one SAP server.
We decide to use on chart of account, and to use one operating concern.
For company code A: the currency is CNY, for company code B: the currency is TWD. The operating concern currency is:CNY.
So i need to in KEA0(maintain operating concern) active company code currency, right?
So every posting in company code B will be posted in TWD and CNY to COPA same item, right?
In KE30 report, where to add characters: Currency type that i can show company code B report in TWD?
Thanks.

Dear David,
Yes. If you have different compancy codes within one controlling area, you have to maintain currency type with 10-Company code currecny and while maintaining the operating concern also you have to choose the company code currency only. Then only you will get the reports with respect of your company code currecny level. This will be basing on your company code-sales organisation, plants and other charcters assignment basis in your configuration.
All the best,
Dharma Rao. Yekula.
