Company code creation issue

Hi All,
When I am creating company code I am getting an error as below.
"you may not change the currency since documents exist with this currency"
Above issue is coming while new co code creation or copying of existing co code also.
Please advice on the above issue.
Regards,
Riyaz

Hi,
I hope you are creating new company code by copying from the exiting company code. If you copy one company code to another company code then you will get few pop- up message like do you want to use same chart of account or do you want to use same currecny like that. So may be you have selected different currecny. Sap has come up with country template for each country. So you can use country template to create the new company code.
Thanks & Regards

Company code creation...what option is better?

Hi Gurus,
My client has an existing company code in US and the parant company code abroad. They have now acquired another company is US. I need to decide whether we create a new company code for the new acquired company or do we just merge the acquired company with the existing company code in US.
What are the pros and cons of merging vs, creation of a new company code?
Note: Using FI-Consolidation is out of scope.
I am not sure how the FI entries are transfered from the legacy system to the new company code or merged with an existing company code.
Would appreciate any insite and links on such a topic.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sunny this is a very wide question.
Here are some questions to consider.
Do you need to show the new company code as a seperate company code?
Can they use your Chart of Accounts?
Is the new company keeping its name?
Have you got any common master data, customers, vendors?
When will you be making the transfer?
Do you use ERP 6.0? If you did not want to create a new company code you could use document splitting.
You can copy your US Company Code, and then extend any common master data, GL accounts, Customers Accounts and Vendor Accounts?
Are you buying all of the debt from the new company, if so you will need to keep the debt seperate to that of your current debtors.
Hope some of this helps.

New Company Code Creation Problem

Hi Experts..
We are having 10 company codes, i got a requirement to create another company code. I have used one of the earlier company code to create a new company code.
It is giving me the following error while trying to post a document in a testing server.
<b>Could not determine the year for TDS Certificate number range</b>
Message No: 8I017
Diagnosis
The excise year could not be determined for generating the numbers for TDS Certificates. The number range is linked to the excise year and not on the fiscal year directly.
Procedure
Check the customizing done for the company code in the India Version IMG. Maintain the start month for the excise year correctly.
Please provide me your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks
Kiran

Company Code Creation (Either Copy or New Creation)

Hi all
We are on a Implementation Project got a problem in MM at the Time of GR/IR and our MM consultant said that one of the Standard Table is missing.
We created the Company code instead copying it from 001.
Would like to have input on the following
1.As SAP suggest company code should be copied If some body does not do that what are the area of concern.
2. If company code is not copied but Created what kind of problem can come during implementation.
3. How one correct the problem which are going to arise.
Regard's
Rahul Jain

Hi Rahul,
Material Control Record Table viz. MARV is to be maintained for Allowing company codes in MM.
So, in T. Code OMSY, Your company code needs to be added along with the period.
Check this to find whether your problem is solved.

Company Code creation for non SAP transaction company

Hi Expert,
Need your advice.
The user requesting to create customer/vendor master data for a new inter company for their AR/AP posting.
However this inter company do not have full setup of SAP configuration (eg. GL/Cost center/Profit center).
So, could we just create a new company name for this inter company in Enterprise structure without activate the company code in SAP : Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Setting > Company Code > Set Company code to productive ?
We even adviced the user to use the 1 time vendor/customer code for the AP/AR posting (due to transaction is not frequent happen in the inter companyu). But they reply prefer create as a new company code for their inter company, for better tracking purpose.
How can we handle this kind of situation ?
thanks.
rgds,
tee

Hi,
if you want to use the new company as an intercompany business partner / trading partner (to assign the company in customer/vendor master data) just maintain the COMPANY in SAP (not the company code). This is done in
IMG: Enterprise structure / Definition / Financial Accounting / Define company. Each company defined here can be used as trading/business partner in customer/vendor master data to create postings where BSEG-VBUND contains the IC-number.
Best regards, Christian

Steps to define company code and its dependent entries for mm,pm

Hi Experts,
kindly share that how to define company code and its dependent assignments for PM & MM module

Dear Hitendra
Company code, Contolling area, Profit Center are Financials related fields and are mapped under FI Enterprise structure as its Org unit. Plant (Logistics Plant) is defined in MM. Related modules like PP, PM, SD extend this logistics plant in their repsective modules as Production Planning Plant, Production Plant, Maintenance Planning Plant, Maintenance Plant, Sales Plant etc.
Company code is never defined in any logistics moudle , its in Financials where it is defined. It is then assigned to the Plant in logistics thru which the company code gets populated easily in respective modules.In contolling end, its controlling area that talks.
IMG-->SAP Customizing Implementation Guide->Enterprise Structure-->Definition-->Financial Accounting-->Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code
This is a very broad upper level details for your query. Please search the SCN in relevant spaces for more information.

Company code creation

Hi,
In my project there is already a company code been created. Now we want to roll-out 150 company codes. Is there any short-cut method to create those many company codes. Is it possible to use BDC, LSMW etc. to create 150 company codes.
Please help.
Regards,
Sriram

Hello,
You will normally do not try LSMW with configurations.
You need to go and manually create them and then create a transport request.
LSMW, which is only used for master and transaction data upload.

KPSI (RKNMABTC) on company code level

Hello,
I would like to ask, if somebody of you have already tried following:
We would like to run the KPSI (Plan reconciliation / target = actual-IAA) on company code level. It is possible e.g. if create an appropriate cost center group. The problem is, that if the KPSI already runs for other company code, error message KI718 appears.
Error message KI718: "Planning locked by user &1. User is planning in controlling area XXXX, version XXX . Thus, plan reconciliation with update posting is not possible."
That means, that it is not possible to run two or more parallel plan reconciliations, it they refer to the same controlling area and version.
In my opinion this possibility should be offered by SAP, as you can have many companies within the same controlling area, which process their planning for their cost centers independet from the other companies.
Can anybody of you offer some solution?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Greta
My interest in this thread has increased, seeing you are from SAP
Peter was not ref to KSPI, but to KPSI...
The design of OMIK is such that, you can not execute LTP and KPSI for 2 company codes simultaneouly in all circumstances...
You have to maintain the parameters in OMIK for one Plant, Run LTP, Delete the entry in OMIK and then again repeat the steps for 2nd company code.... You can refer the OSS msg 1015121 / 2008 that I raised to SAP and the Development Request (DR) No that I provided earlier in my reply
In My case, it was one Contr Area and 14 comp codes, so obviously, not possbile to run LTP for all of them at once....
My only point is when SAP allows and recommends to have one contr area and multi company codes - Then all other transactions including OMIK should permit me to maintain the required parameters at both KOKRS and BUKRS level...
I would be thankful if you can let me know any updates on the DR no that I mentioned
Regards
