Vluation at company code level and transfer prices in EC-PCA

Hi,
We have the following configuration:
1. Valuation of stock at Company Code level.
2. Transfer pricing between Profit Center (i.e. Material Ledger is active).
we experience some technical issues (e.g. we get error message when entering MM03 accounting view). Our Plants and Company Codes were created using copying standard SAP delivered Org. units.
Did any of you implement such a configuration? Do you have knowledge of limitations and problems that might result?
TIA for you help,
Avihay

Never mind. We managed somehow to figure it out ourselves.

Material valuation at company code level

Hi,
We have the valuation at company code level and when we transfer material from one plant to another (Two step stock transfer) the system dont post fi document. When the profit center of the material is assign an fi document is posted. Somebody knows why?
Thanks

you have valuation at company code level.
both plants are in same company code, so same valuation level, so no FI document created , the FI docuement not required here
For profit center, FI document will be ceated for that profit center.
This is standard process only

Manage vendor bank account in company code level - Best practice

hi,
we have on our client several company codes, and we are thinking how to manage the vendor bank accounts in company codes level or in centeral level.
our problem with company codes level is that the vendor bank accounts define in a centeral level so technically with sap standard it is not possible. if anyone can tell me that this is possible i will be very happy to know.
in centeral level our problem is with the business process because of we do not have a person (functionalism ) that can be responsible for all the company codes, basically every company shoule be responsible for her vendors
please advice what is the best practice to manage vendor bank accounts in enviroment of several company code
regards,
meir

hi Raghu,
i know that but this is not my qusition.
which company code will be responsible to enter the bank account in the vendor master data? as i say the vendor bank accounts manage in centeral level and not in company code level and this is our problem and i like to know how other companies with the same situation handle with this issue
and also after we have the bank accounts in the vendor master data what happend if for one vendor has several bank accounts one for every company code? how the payment program F110 could know automaticaly which bank account to take (i know that there is an optoin to use Partner bank type in the vendor master data, and enter this PBT when posting the invoice of the vednor, but this is not good because of we do not want the the accountant will be responsible from which bank the vendor get his money).

hi geeta,
ClientA Client is the highest unit within an SAP system and contains Master records and Tables. Data entered at this level are valid for all company code data and organizational structures allowing for data consistency. User access and authorizations are assigned to each client created. Users must specify which client they are working in at the point of logon to the SAP system.
A CompanyA Company is the unit to which your financial statements are created and can have one to many company codes assigned to it. A company is equivalent to your legal business organization. Consolidated financial statements are based on the companyu2019s financial statements. Companies are defined in configuration and assigned to company codes. Each company code must use the same COA( Chart of Accounts) and Fiscal Year. Also note that local currency for the company can be different.
Company CodesCompany Codes are the smallest unit within your organizational structure and is used for internal and external reporting purposes. Company Codes are not optional within SAP and are required to be defined. Financial transactions are viewed at the company code level. Company Codes can be created for any business organization whether national or international. It is recommended that once a Company Code has been defined in Configuration with all the required settings then other company codes later created should be copied from the existing company code. You can then make changes as needed. This reduces repetitive input of information that does not change from company code to company code as well as eliminate the possibility of missed data input.
Business Area Business Area is optional and is equivalent to a specific area of responsibility within your company or business segment. BA (Business Area) also allows for internal and external reporting.
Another configuration requirement for set-up in SAP are the Basic settings consisting of the following:
Chart of Accounts(COA)
Fiscal Year Variants.
Currencies
The COA(Chart of Accounts)
The COA(Chart of Accounts) lists all General Ledger accounts that are used by the organization. It is assigned in configuration to each company code and allows for daily General Ledger postings.
Fiscal Year configuration
Fiscal Year configuration is a must and can be defined to meet your companyu2019s reporting periods whether Fiscal (any period combination that is not calendar) or Calendar( Jan-Dec).
Posting Periods are defined and assigned to the Fiscal Year.
Within the periods you specify start dates and finished dates.
SAP allows for 12 posting periods along with specially defined periods that can be used for year-end financial closing.

Hi,
Client Level
The client is the highest level in the SAP System hierarchy. Data stored at client level can be accessed by all company code in the system.
Company Code Level
The company code is the central organizational unit of external accounting within the SAP System. Data stored or created at company code level can be used with in company code.
Customer Master Data
Customer Master data is divided into three parts:-
Client Level
Company Code Level
Sales Area Level
For Example:-
Customer Master created at client level like address data can be used by all company code. If customer A master data has been maintained at client level than company code ABCD and company code EFGH can extent customer at company code level and use customer for FI posting. Again if you want to use customer for SD than you need to extent it in SD area.
So, you can say that Master record created at client level can be used by all company code across the system.

Valuation at plant level and company code level

Hi,
Can someone explain me the difference between the valuation at plant level and company code level with a real world example?
Regards,
Malsha Kalubowila

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

Upload of chart of accounts at coa and company code level

dear all
can you tell me how it is best to upload a new chart of accounts both as a chart of accounts level and company code. i am planning to use lsmw but shoud i upload chart of accounts first then company code level?
with many thanks
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you have single company code then create one LSMW for transaction "FS00" it upload the COA both at company code and COA level. If you have morethan one company code and you want to upload same COA to both company codes then better first COA level with FSP0 then company code level with FSS0 because here you can extend the required GL's from COA to COmpany code.

Material Ledger activation at Company Code Level

Hi All,
I have a requirement where Material Ledger need to be activated at Company level and not at single Plant Level. We are about to implement ML and would like to have periodic unit price calculated at company code level (e.g. 1 material, 4 plants, 1 company = 1 periodic unit price).
I went through the customization , it only refers to Plant level (Valuation area level)
Could anybody throw light on this.
Regards
Barbara

Hi,
What is the valuation level?
If the valuation is at plant level you can maintain different views at different plants of these company codes.
If only name is different i think you would do better with the same material code, and if you still want to differentiate please create two different materials

CO-period lock for planning on company code level

Hello,
I would like to ask you for assistence.
We would like to have the possiblity to lock the CO-periods on company code levels. For actual values, it is possible to arrange this within the validation. However, for plan values the validation is not active.
I have read about possibility to enhance an user exit for paritcular planning transactions (KP06, KP26 etc.), but I can't find it anymore.
Does anybody from you have experience with this, eventually is there another option?
Thanks in advance
Peter

I have had a similiar problem and contact to remote consulting from SAP. They offered a modification (10-15 days if I remember correctly) to make CO period lock company code depending.
If I remember correctly, his name was Valentin (in Germany).
However: if newGL is active with real-time integration and also plan transfer, I think it should be possible to lock in FI.

Classic profit centers reporting full b/s below company code level

Dear Experts,
we are using classic profit center. How to get Profit center wise balance sheet below company code level.
Facing issues for balance sheet GL accounts as at 3KEH one profit center i can choose...my requirement is to get 2 balance sheets for two profit centers.
any suggestions ?
Regards,
Sekhar

Hello Sekhar,
With Classic profit center accounting correct balance sheet cannot be ensured at Profit center level.
This is due to following reasons
1. Vendor/ Customer line items -
No assignment of Vendor/Customer recon accounts to Profit center in 3KEH.
But in period end you have to execute F.5D and 1KEK to transfer this values to Profit center accounting based on the offsetting line items.
This also might create problems if you don't clear the open items on period end as your Sales/Purchase will go to one Profit center and Payment will go to other (defaulted for Bank/Cash). Cleared items are not transferred
Also, Transaction between Vendor and Customer will lead to some values posting in Dummy profit center.
2. Asset line items
Profit center will be determined by Asset master
3. Tax accounts
Mostly it has to go with Default Profit center. SAP has given option for re-determination of Tax line items profit center based on off-setting line items during period end (Tax account should be assigned to Dummy profit center in 3KEH). But this will work only for Sales/Purchase transaction, as payment will go to default profit center used for Cash/Bank. Again it might lead to confusion.
4. Material accounts
Profit center assigned in Material master is used.
5. Other Balance sheet accounts
These accounts like Bank, Cash, loan etc has to be assigned to default Profit centers using 3KEH. Else, user has to enter the correct Profit center during entry. If missed out, it will go to default profit center. Remember, balance sheet accounts not included in 3KEH (except for Vendor/Customer) will not be transferred to Profit center accounting itself.
Hope it helps..
Thanks & Regards,

Is it possible that we generate material requirement in MRP at company code level?

We want to generate material requirement in MRP at company code level, what is the possibility or any work around.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi Mirza
This is not possible on the standard system. The highest planning level on MRP is the plant.
It has been discussed on the following thread, where BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA was proposed as a solution, however, the logic to be implemented on this BAdI is very complex:
MRP Run considering Stocks for Multiple Plants and Requirement maintained for Plant Cluster
If you want to know more about the BAdIs available on MRP check the following document:
BAdIs for MRP
Another alternative is to use flexible planning to plant at company code level, then disaggregate the planning to the plants and transfer the result to demand management and MRP.
See the following thread for details:

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).

F.01 - extract to consolidation on company code level

Hi everyone
We're trying to do an extract to consolidation on company code level (1). When popup dialog "Filename for extraction file" appears we can choose between presentation server or application server.
When choosing presentation server and logical filename ECCS_FILE we get error GC027 (Error opening file c:\temp\EXTRACT_CS_CO.txt).
Doing so choosing application server however works (whereas path isn't the same).
We already checked and double-checked settings of logical file name and logical path in transaction FILE.
Any suggestions what to do or isn't it supposed to work via presentation server?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all
Renaud

I have not seen anything that you have mentioned to enter file path?
Is this being customised for your Company?
How did you download this before?

Addition of a field in vendor master table at company code level

Hi Champs,
My requirement is to add a field in LFB1 table.
I have added the field in the table using append structure, that was fine.
I need to add the same for input/output on the screen 215 of program SAPMF02K (for the screen of Payment transaction Accounting at company code level).
As far as I know there are only screen enhancements for Vendor master(no screen exits). The screen enhacements are "Prepare Modification-Free Enhancement in Vendor Master Record". But using that i need to create a subscreen, but in my requirement I need to add the field on the same screen.
Is there any solution for that???
Please let me know if my doubt is not clear.
Regards,
Nishant

Hi Krish,
I am not able to find the screen exit for my requirement.There is only screen enhancement for Vendor master.If you have any idea of the same pls let me know.
I am ok with the solution that i need to change in the standard screen using access key, but do i need to code anything in the PAI or PBO of the screen or it will be taken care automatically. Details of the program and screen is already given.
Thanks
