Valuation area is company code

Hi experts,
In our scenario, we have 2 plants and one storage location. only one balance sheet is preparing for both the plants( as is ).
My question is, if only one balance sheet preparing for both the plants, can I select the valuation area as "COMPANY CODE'" ?
If I change the valuation area as company code level, then, what are the changes I find when compared to plant level.
Also tell me how can I change the valuation area.
can anybody tell step by step.
Thanks in advance

In SAP, you need to choose either Plant Level or Company code level to valuate your material stocks. Once you've set, it is not possible to switch the valuation level from plant to company code or vice-versa unless data conversion (material master's accounting data) is carried out again.
We recommend to setting material valuation at Plant level because you can have separation set of account determination and stock type at each plant.
Also it is important that stocks must be valuated at Plant level,
when u implement the PP module the default valuation level will be PLANT
plz read the note at this SPRO > Enterprise structre> Definition>Logistics - General>Define valuation level (at left to valuation level)
u will get clear idea
hope it clears

Valuation Area at Company Code level

Hi,
In what ideal business case/industry one should set valuation area at company code level when SAP recommends valuation area must be set at Plant level ? in other words..what is the practical purpose of Valuation area at company Code level?

Hi
Think that valuation area link with records in table MBEW. So, if you have a company with 3 plants, and you have a single valuation for all company, in 3 plants the valuation of materials are the same, with their implications in valuation of stock and valuation of margin in sales (remember that this value can flow -really, use to flow- to condition VPRS in SD, well see SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD and SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing for more details). If you do a valuation different by plant, stock and margin calculations are different.
What are the elements that you must considerer?
1. If the materials is purchased, think if the same material have different conditions (different conditions in MM, for instance, indirect costs as shipment costs, different vendor with meaningful differences in prices or discounts). It's indiferent that it is a raw material or a material that you can sell. The raw material will work in product costing as an item in BOM. First of all, considerer the impact in stock value, second think how is delivered the materials to customer from plants and their impact in profitability analysis. If there are meaningful differences for the same material between different plants and you give the same value in all company, depending of the mix perhaps your customer is fooling himself about this issue.
2. If the material is manufactured, talk with your CO consultant and what kind of impact could have different routings, BOM and prices of raw materials between plants. Same considerations for valuation of stocks and margin.
Finally, in the page 10 of the document you can read
Valuation must be at Plant level in the following cases:
u2022If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
u2022If your system is a SAP Retail system
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
PD: I forgot, talk this with the CFO of the company, taking in account the restrictions (when it must be plant level).

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.

There are 2 Company Codes, i want to do only consolidation

Hi Friends,
There are 2 Company Codes, i want to do consolidation of both these legal entities.
Let me know the possibility friends.
its to understand the possibility.
Whether the same can be done using Group cahrt of accounts.
Correct me if iam wrong..
Thanks & regards,
Neela

Hi Ruchika,
In fact i didn't tell you the scenario.
2 company codes currency is SGD.
This they want to do consolidation without new gl & EC-CS.
This is where the hicup is, we have to choose Business area consolidation only.
But the question here is should we need to have 2 chart of accounts.
In my view there has to be only 1 chart of accounts.
But my doubt is whether we need Group chart of accounts or not in this scenario.
Please throw some light on this friend/friends.

Neela

Error in PPMOD feature while assigning functional area under company code.

Hi Experts,
I am getting error in PPMOD feature while assigning functional area under company code.
The error is " The total fields lengths of the decision operations are too great ".
Please advice.
Regards,
IFF

Hi IFF,
The return values which you have maintained for the decision parameter are not acceptable that's why it's throwing that error.
Your PPMOD feature is based on company code and functional area.
Try to maintain it as follows:
000010                                  D     BUKRS
000020     1000           D     FKBER
000030     1000 0001                 &PPMOD=1,
000040     1000 ****                 &PPMOD=2,
000050     2000                 &PPMOD=1,
000060     2100                 &PPMOD=2,
000070     2900                 &PPMOD=2,
000080     2910                 &PPMOD=1,
000090     ****                 &PPMOD=2,
Please try to create this features value again using tree format, so that you can know the actual length of the return string and update the thread once done.

Valuation differs from company code to company code

Dear Experts,
I need to create a material wgich will be valuated on a company code and will not be valuated on another company code
how can i do such a thing ... could I use Split Valuation for example ??
Thanks

I need to create a material wgich will be valuated on a company code and will not be valuated on another company code
how can i do such a thing ... could I use Split Valuation for example ??
Whether a material is valuated or not is determined by the value update setting. Value update setting is controlled trough material type.
SPRO > Logistics - Genral > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Types > Define Attributes of Material Types
Here select the material type and choose "Quantity/value updating" in the left navigation section. Now, you can carry out your settings for the desired plants.
You can see, that the setting is valid for a material type and not for a separate material master. Via split valuation you cannot set a material to "not valuated".
As a "workaround" you can use standard price control ("S") under the desired company code / plants (based on your valuation level) and maintain the lowest possible price for your product...

How to create an EHS Work Area on Company Code level?

Hi,
Is it possible to create work area on company level?
(In CBIH02 the EHS work area can only be created within a Plant)
I had a look at the following transactions related to link a work area to Organization Management, I'm really
confused and have no idea how to realize it.
Path: EHS > Industrial Hygiene and Safety > Work Area > Link to Organizational Mangement
PPSC - Create Structures
PPSM - Edit Structures
PPME - Edit Matrixes
Help is much appreciated.
Roy Derks

Hi Roy,
I doubt on Company Level. As work Area's standard hierarchy goes like that - Work Area -- Plant -- Location -- Production Process -- Activity -- Machine -- Task.
I would revert back if I could get something.

Business Areas vs Company Codes in BCS

Hello!
I'm getting involved in a project regarding the use of business areas in SEM-BCS and I've a few questions and therefore I need some help, namely:
1 - If a business area is not considered a legal entity how the consolidation of investments works in this scenario? If there are no participation % between business areas how those the system works regarding the CoI?
2 - Can you provide some documentation regarding the use of business ares in BCS, I've search times and times for some information but I haven't found nothing besides the use of companies and cost centers. Even if the documentation is not "SAP" it will help a lot.
3 - Is there any special procedures in customizing when using business areas?
If you can help with any information please send it to - [email protected]
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
David Resende

Hi David,
Actually, very much depends on your requirements.
For example, now I'm working on blueprint with the approximate such a scenario:
- legal consolidation (by companies) with some additional analytical characteristics, by which I don't have to construct the balance sheet (meaning that these chars I may present in the data basis simply as subassignments).
- management consolidation - by profit centers and business areas. Classically, I had to use here a matrix consolidation, since I had requirements to publish B/S by PCs and BAs. However, I know that my BA is very specific. There are no activities BETWEEN BAs (means that I may use subassignments, not matrix), but there are activities WITHIN BAs (meaning that I have somehow to eliminate these internal volume).
This decision implies TWO data bases with double efforts for configuring the system and double work for end users.
BUT, there is another temptation to use just one data basis with matrix Company-Profit Center and some subassignments. The decision to be made actually depends on your client requirements your understanding of the situation.
Don't expect to have any documents (SAP, or non-SAP) related to BA consolidation in public. They might just don't exist, or be confidential.
