What are criterias for defining various controlling area in oprating concrn

Hi All,
for a holding with various businesses, I'm looking for criteria or characteristics to:
1- divide client into multiple operating concern? ("best Practice" characteristics)
2- divide an "operating concern" into multiple "controlling area"?
I'm confused in dividing a holding in how many operating concerns and controlling areas?
which solution is better: few operating concern with various controlling area within each one OR more operating concern with fewer controlling area within each operating concern?
Best Regards

Dear Piet Strydom,
thanks for your quick response,
there is special situation: our holding produce and distribute wide range of products in A country,
some manufactures in our holding produce same products with various brands (for example Company A and its partner company B produce keyboards under brand X and company C produce the same keyboards with brand Y), because of market uniformity we plan to group them (company A& B&C) in an operating concern, now:
1- is it a correct decision to group all manufactures (with various brands-same products) in one operating concern?
2- if we do so, isn't it right decision to divide each brand manufactures group in a controlling area? in other word we assign for each brand a controlling area? (one controlling area for both company A&B and another controlling area for company C)
Best Regards
Mohammad

What is the criteria for define GL for profit center

Dear Profit center Guru,
Can guide , what is the business logic to "Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts" for profit center. all the Proft Loss accounts should be there? or what kind of PL should be there , and what kind of Balance sheet accounts should be defined for profit center.
Thanks,
Kick

Hi H.Kick
at Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts/Choose Accounts we define which accounts or account intervals we want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting. It is imperative that we maintain all the GL accounts which need to be transferred to Profit center. Needless to say that if we donu2019t maintain the GL accounts here, the balance will not be transferred to PCA.
This setting is also particularly required, if no profit center is entered for a specific transaction in one of these GL accounts, the system posts to the default profit center for that account interval.
This particular configuration can also be called from the SAP easy access
menu by entering 3KEH in the command field.
Note that the GL codes for Customers and Vendors including Advances (special GL account) which are called Reconciliation accounts should not be maintained in the 3KEH table. Reason being the Customers and Vendors line items are not transferred to the PCA module online. We have to run month
end programs to transfer Customer and Vendor balance from FI module to PCA Module
These are GL codes which are reconciliation accounts for customer and vendors, that should be excluded from the 3KEH table.
Hope i tried my best to make you clear on this.
as well see comments in the thread by MR.vanne what is the criteria for define GL for profit center
Thanks...Vyas

Alternate option for having 2 Controlling Areas

Hi Experts,
Please analyse the below business requirement and provide your valuable feedback.
Currently the business side has only one Controlling Area -1000 and all reports are built off of the Controlling Area and
not Company code. Also, all consolidated Company codes roll up to the Controlling Area 1000. Now business want's 2 different reports for there 2 major business lines. And there is no way to run a report for those 2 business lines.
Is it advisable to have 2 diffrent controlling areas. In my opinion it should not be advised and its not a best practise.
Any other way to fulfill the reporting requirement by having current controlling area only?
Can Version design be of use in this scenario ? If yes kindly throw some light on version control as well.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
If the Business is vertical you can define two controlling areas
Example:
Constructions
Telecom
Trading
Manufacturing etc...
If not you can difine Company codes/Plants would be better.
Hope it will clear

Tina,
I would go crazy if this was me. You may find this interesting from the customer agreement (to see full agreement go here:Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless):
"HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."
This may help you also: Arbitration and Mediation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
You can dispute any charges by doing an Arbitration or Mediation. I have never done it, so I can not help much there but this all may get you started.
Let me know if any of this works! Good Luck! Please keep me updated. I really hope they help you.

What is meant by Defining Common Data Area ??

I have seen a code like this ....
DATA: BEGIN OF COMMON PART FM06LCS2,
        ( All the parameters /select-options are declared here)
      END   OF COMMON PART.
what is this ??? what for it is used ??????
My requirement is .....
To add one more Parameter in between this area.....
what all should i do???
Expecting your answers,
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
R.Kripa.

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS
For the sake of completeness, this section describes a technique that allows you to access the global data of the calling program from an external subroutine. To do this, you declare a common data area for the calling program and the program containing the subroutine. All interface work areas declared using TABLES and NODES behave like the common data area.
Like external subroutines themselves, you should use common data areas very sparingly. The rules for accessing common data areas can become very complicated if you call function modules from nested subroutines.
You declare a common data area in all programs concerned using the statement:
DATA: BEGIN OF COMMON PART [<name>],
      END OF COMMON PART [<name>].
Between the two DATA statements, you declare all of the data you want to include in the common data area.
The common part declaration must be exactly the same in all of the programs in which you want to use it. It is therefore a good idea to put the declaration in an include program.
You can use several common parts in one program. In this case, you must assign a name <name> to each common part. If you only have one common part in each program, you do not have to specify a name. To avoid conflicts between programs that have different common part declarations, you should always assign unique names to common parts.
Assume an include program INCOMMON contains the declaration of a common part NUMBERS. The common part comprises three numeric fields: NUM1, NUM2, and SUM:
***INCLUDE INCOMMON.
DATA: BEGIN OF COMMON PART NUMBERS,
        NUM1 TYPE I,
        NUM2 TYPE I,
        SUM TYPE I,
      END OF COMMON PART NUMBERS.
The program FORMPOOL includes INCOMMON and contains the subroutines ADDIT and OUT:
PROGRAM FORMPOOL.
INCLUDE INCOMMON.
FORM ADDIT.
SUM = NUM1 + NUM2.
PERFORM OUT.
ENDFORM.
FORM OUT.
WRITE: / 'Sum of', NUM1, 'and', NUM2, 'is', SUM.
ENDFORM.
A calling program FORM_TEST includes INCOMMON and calls the subroutine ADDIT from the program FORMPOOL.
PROGRAM FORM_TEST.
INCLUDE INCOMMON.
NUM1 = 2. NUM2 = 4.
PERFORM ADDIT(FORMPOOL).
NUM1 = 7. NUM2 = 11.
PERFORM ADDIT(FORMPOOL).
This produces the following output:
Sum of 2 and 4 is 6
Sum of 7 and 11 is 18
The subroutines in the program FORMPOOL access the global data of the shared data area.
Assume a program FORMPOOL that contains two subroutines TABTEST1 and TABTEST2 as follows:
PROGRAM FORMPOOL.
TABLES SFLIGHT.
FORM TABTEST1.
SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE = 'A310'.
SFLIGHT-PRICE = '150.00'.
WRITE: / SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE, SFLIGHT-PRICE.
ENDFORM.
FORM TABTEST2.
LOCAL SFLIGHT.
SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE = 'B747'.
SFLIGHT-PRICE = '500.00'.
WRITE: / SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE, SFLIGHT-PRICE.
ENDFORM.
A program FORM_TEST calls TABTEST1 and TABTEST2 as follows:
PROGRAM FORM_TEST.
TABLES SFLIGHT.
PERFORM TABTEST1(FORMPOOL).
WRITE: / SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE, SFLIGHT-PRICE.
PERFORM TABTEST2(FORMPOOL).
WRITE: / SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE, SFLIGHT-PRICE.

Edge and Next are good for the corporations but are they good for the consumer?

Ok so I have never paid full price upfront for a phone! Ever since my first phone from VoiceStream I have opted for what ever phone was "free" because way back then (I blush as I type) I actually thought the phone was "free!!!" Ah, to be naive again!! But as we all know the phones never were nor will they ever be free.
However I say programs like Verizon's Edge and AT&T's Next are good for the corporation if they weren't they would not exist. The first reason I say this is because Edge and Next allow the cellular service provider to easily recoup the entire cost of the phone in a clear way unlike with subsidized phones that muddy the profit water. For example, the Verizon 64GB iPhone 5s retails for $849.99, currently with a two year contract you pay $399.99 for that 64GB iPhone 5s. The EFT for that phone is $350 (minus $10 per month of post paid service). If you on the 15th the day after you got your phone you paid the EFT but kept service you only paid $749.99 for that $849.99. Sure you still pay for service but you can leave when ever and Verizon cannot say hey you owe us $100 more for you phone. Its yours and they can't take it back and the only way Verizon will get that $100 back is though another customer that subsidized a much lower cost phone that at the completion of that contract Verizon will more than recoup the cost of that lower priced unit. To top that off you could turn around and sell the phone for $800 go back to Verizon or another provider buy a $450 phone and break even. I'm not suggesting that people do that or that it may prove to be a big hassle for some that went through all the trouble. Its just a point to show that subsidized phones make the profits less clear for the service provider to see at first glance.
Second reason these programs are good for the corporation is they allow the service providers to get a better grasp on the true cost of maintaining their networks and providing us the consumer access to their networks. Third reason it good for the corporation is the people that feel the need to upgrade every six months to a year are required to pay at least 50% of the retail cost of the phone at the same time they must surrender that device in exchange for the new device. So the service provider then has the phone refurbished certified to be in "like new condition" and sell it again potentially making more than retail cost when the profits of both sales of the same handset are factored together.
That being said what will the impact of programs like Edge and Next have on cost of future cellular service plans and smartphones? Over time will the service provider give us the best per line access fee (not likely but maybe)? Or will people upgrading their smartphones at faster intervals cause the cost of the smartphones to drop over time? What are your thoughts?

Controlling area maitenance

Hello,
what are the criteria for maintaining a Controlling area......can we assign multiple company codes to a single CO area having different local currency but one group currency.
Please let me know.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Controlling Area can have more than one company code with multiple currencies. It should have one group currency for internal reporting purpose (group reporting)
the main condition would be:
1. It should have one single Operational Chart of Accounts
2. Same posting periods (normal). No condition with respect to Special Posting period
I hope this will satisfy your needs.
Award suitably with points. else let me know if you need futher clarifications

COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

Update version CO 000 for controlling area

Hi Experts,
I need to update the values for CO versión 000 for a new controlling area created in the system. In order to do that I tried to customize in Project System--> Costs --> Create CO Versions. In the tables I choose version 0 but, when accessing sub-menu Controlling Area Settings, I cannot create settings for my new controlling area.
Can someone help on how can we solve this?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,
What do you mean by inability to create settings for conrolling area? What is exactly the problem/error message. Just set the conrolling area (OKKS) and access the path you mentioned.
