Hi Vinayak,

1. if that branch is a SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITY

ie. it has its own company registration,

own balance sheet

etc.

then it calls for a new company code.

2. BUT

if it is just a branch,

operating for the same company,

then definitely same company code.

3. The FI functional guy

or finance team in your company

is the right judge for this answer.

I hope it helps.

regards,

amit m.

Hi,

i'm working in a group with many company codes (bukrs) -> i think ther're are only cons and no pros:

1 reason is huge volume of master data :

examples:

-lfb1, skb1, knb1, marc,

->in future we'll switch to profit-center

-> i'll advise you to use p-c too or gsber
