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 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,

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,

Merging two company codes

Dear All,
We have two company codes with in the same company. In going forward we are going to discontinue one company code. Each company code is having 14 manufacturing plants. We want to merge these 14 plants to single company code.
Kindly suggest which are the possibilities are available and which one is better for FI and MM point of view.
Regards
Venkey

Dear,
Execution of this really a though provoking but to breif you the overview.....
FI Consideration.
You will have transfer entire trial balance to the other company code ensure the balance in company code is zero.
MM Consideration.
Only one company code can be assinged to one plant. One plant can not have more that one company code. You may have to create a dummy plant to transfer all the material and once material quantities in transferee plant is zero, you can deattach plant to the other company code and redo the activity.
For MM activities, please work with your MM counterpart and take his/her expert advise.

Subcontracting b/n two company codes

Hi friends
i have caome across the subcontracting scenario which takes place between two company code with their respective plants, Please Provide best way to map the scenario
Thanks
Regards

SAP-Consultant

Sub Contracting Cycle
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor"
(4) You receive finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
(5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.
Process of Subcontract in MM
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
Vijay
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to becreated for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Inforecord and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.

How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.
When you print the purchase order, the components are printed per order item
Subcontracting - Key Points
Special Procurement Process.
Item category: L
Order type: NB
In info record vendor should be maintained as subcontractor.
Vendor (Subcontractor) receives the components used to manufacture a finished product directly from your company or through third party.
Your company should place a purchase order for the finished product. In this manually you can enter the required individual components or it can be determined via the explosion of BOM (if exists).
Stock check at vendor level: ME2O
Company stock check: MMBE
GR for individual components through movement type: 501 or 561 (if with out PO or without reference).
GI to subcontracting vendor: through movement type 541.
GR from sub contracting vendor: through movement type: 101
Movement type 543 is displayed to cancel the material cost account.
If the subcontracting order has to be generated through materials planning,the special procurement key has to be set in MRP 2 screen.

Same material in two company codes

Hi all,
I want to use the same material code (A1 - reynolds pen) for two company codes 1000 & 2000 what are all the implications i vl get in future,,,
plz any guide me,,,
regards,
urendra

Hi
You will not get any implications for this.
All your transactions are made effect on your valuation area.
which may be company code or plant.
In mm01 you are maintaing that material for plant level.
So data related to this material is stored for perticular plant if you are valn area is plant.
Also for stock transfer order you will have to maintain this material for both plants or company codes.

Subcontracting- with two company codes.

Hi PP Gurus,
We got two company codes say company code 1000 and company code 1100. We're having plants 4000 in company code 1000 and 5000 in company code 1100. Manufacturing of all SFG and FG take place at plant 5000 in company code 1100.
Now the requirement is all Raw materials are supplied from plant 4000 in company code 1000 to plant 5000 in company code 1100.
Client want all the RM cost to be captured in company code 1000 and plant 5000 will only invoice for Services that are utilized for manufacturing....
How could we map this scenario? Either through making BOM and Routing in both plants 4000 and 5000. and in Routing of plant 4000 need to activate operation subcontracting and material to be supplied to plant 5000 and latter service cost to be captured through Service entry sheet. OR MRP area or Special prcurement key to be configured in plant 5000 to suffice the requirement?
Please reply with your prompt comments.
Thanks and Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi,
This you can handle through the special procurement. Both the plants you need to maintain the material master. In Plant 4000 is your supplying plant. In plant 4000 the raw materials you need to maintain as external procurement. Plant 5000 you need to maintain this materials as special procurement as withdrawal from alternate plant. Since your production plant is 5000, you need to maintain the BOM in this plant. In Plant 4000 you need not maintain the BOM. When you run MRP in plant 5000, the planned orders will be created in Plant 4000. This you can see in MD04 screen as planning plant as 5000. But the planned order number will be same in both the plants.

No, It is not possible. Even though u are doing STO process u need to mainatin two different plants. More you can not assign the same plant to two company codes.but u can assign more than one plant to one company code it is like N:1 relation ship..
Please create one more virtual plant for stock exchange for other company code. Because Material valuation will happen at plant level only..

One controlling area with two company codes assigned with one CoA

Hi,
I   am having one controlling area with two company codes assigned , i am using the same gl for two company codes as cost element , when i am positng the miro for vendor purpose it posted the error , to avoid the price difference purpose , i have given one cost center of first company code in OKB9 , and overcome the error , entries posted, when i am posting new entry for MIRO   in secod company codes with same cost element , price difference of that account should go to the other cost center which specifically created for second company code, in the OBK9 i have given cost center first company code   of the same GL account , now this is another new entry in the second company code with other cost center in the second company code since the price difference account should sit in the other cost center of second company code, how to over come this problem, pls help me
Thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi,
First, remove the default cost center in the cost element. Then, for the system to derive the correct cost center for each company codes, define one cost center for each compny codes in OKB9 just like this:
Co Code   Cost Element   Cost Center
1000          1000000              A
2000          1000000              B
So during MIRO, the system will derive these values you maintain in OKB9.

Vendor & Customer master for cross company code

Hi
There are two company codes:
AB01 and AB02
I have to create AB02 as customer and vendor in AB01. Same way i have to create AB01 in AB02.
Let me know what all fields i need to fill in masters.

Hi Meenu,
If you require clearing between the customer and vendor, the following requirements must be met:
The customer number must have been entered in the corresponding vendor master record, in the Control tab
The vendor number must have been entered in the corresponding customer master record, in the Control tab
The fields "Clrg with vend." or "Clrg with cust." must have been selected in both master records.
If you require consolidations at a group level, the following requirement must be met:
Maintain trading partners and assign them during the intercompany transactions.

Merging of two company codes.

Dear SAP consultants,
At present there are two company codes ( lets say 1000 and 2000 ) which have different plants assigned to them. Now company code 1000 is merging into company code 2000.
Please guide me what are the configurations to be done with respct to MM module.
Thanks & Regards.
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
If company code 1000 is merging into company code 2000, then you need to create new plants to represent the "old plants" in the new company. If you copy the old plants, that will also copy their customizing, so no special customizing should be needed, except for assignment to company code 2000 obviously.
I would not dare to change the plant -> company code assignation in a productive system.
To move all the stock from company 1000 to company 2000, the logical way is to sell all of it to company 2000, so you will have Sales Orders in company 1000 and Purchase Orders in company 2000.
The materials will needed to be extended to work in the new plants. If you do that by copying from the "old" plant, then you are guaranteed to have the same information at the master data level.
Hope it helps,

Is it possible to maintain the same material master

Is it possible to maintain the same material master with same code in all plants in a company. Our client is using same materials in all their four plants?

Material numbers are always maintained at Company code level. If you look at the Material master data, some data is maintained at Company code level, some at Plant level and some at Storage location level. If you have all the 4 plants attached to one company code, they should have the same material number. What you need to do is to extend the material to all the 4 plants if thats your requirement. Also, if you have your valuation area as your Plant, then you have the flexibility to maintain Plant specific pricing for the same material.
You can use MM01 T code to copy material from old plant to new plant. But check for the required details in your new plant and make changes accordingly

One vendor for two company codes

Hi Frds,
I have two company codes and i create a vendor which is applicable to both the company code.Is it required for me to create separate Payable reconciliation GL account for each company codes or creation of one common recco account is enuf.
Please elaborate on this as am new to this..
Thanks,
Rashmi Ravi

Dear all,
SAP allows You to create a customer / vendor master data that contains information that is valid for all the Company code --> into General data.
Then there is a part, Company Code data, where You can define specific details for each Company Code.
The transaction is the same FD01 or FK01.
I hope this helps You.

Stock Transport Order between Two Company codes

Dear All
Scenario-- Stock transport order Between two company codes.
The valuation of Comapny Codes is at Moving Average Price.
I have a scenario
MAP of Issuing Plant-- Rs. 10 / kg
I am able to pick up the price of Rs.10 (MAP) of issuing plant while creating PO.
in receving plant.
At the time of Goods issu the MAP has changed & become Rs.12/kg. Hence the goods issue takes place at Rs.12/- perkg.
When we make GR at receiving plant ,the valuation of GR is at Rs.10 i.e at PO price.
Is it possible to have a GR valuation at Goods issue price for that delivery note?
Request Your feedback urgently.

The invoice has the material costs at time of goods issue.
You receipt is valuated to PO price. But when you post the invoice, then the MAP is adjusted,
By setting up EDI, SAP will probably post the invoice before the goods receipt is done, hence the GR should be valuated with the invoice price.
from Note 518368 - FAQ: Valuation for the purchase order;
With which price is the goods receipt posted for a purchase order?
Answer:
If the goods receipt is executed before the invoice receipt, the goods movement is valuated with the purchase order price. If an invoice is already posted, the system uses the price of the invoice. If a partial invoice is received, the partial quantity corresponding to the invoice is valuated with the invoice price, the rest is valuated with the purchase order price.
For more detailed information, refer to both the documentation of the material valuation and Note 380883.
see as well Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
