Hello,

You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:

In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.

OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.

Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account

Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account

Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account

Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account

OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.

You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.

The system will post three document.

Document 1 in First Company Code

Document 2 in Second Company Code

and

Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.

The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.

Hope this must have clarified your doubts.

Please let me know in case if you need further details.

You can go ahead and create rules in OBYA.

Make sure for both the company codes you have assigned the same company in OBY6.

Please revert back if you need further details.

Hi Ravi!

We are working on a requirement where whenever there is a new cost center created or changed for a given list of company codes, this information should be sent to HR system. I am using the MSGTYP COSMAS to achieve this. I have the following issues

1. There is no filter based upon on the company code. Is there an enhancement spot or user exit that I can make use of or do u have a better solution??

2. I am trying to post generic data from FI to HR but the IDOC is failed on the HR system with a message saying ' Cross Company Code not maintained'? Should the functional team maintain these values in both the systems and be in sync?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello Ravi,

I took the class from www.LearnSAP.com last month and now i am preparing for certification. I have a question about Cross company code transactions.

I read this in TIFIN50_I

1. In the configuration you must assign clearing accounts to every possible combination of two company codes to allow cross company postings between these combination so that for three company codes we need 3*2 = 6 clearing accounts. ( I understood this part)

But??

2. If we use one compnay code as the clearing company code. You only have to assign clearing accounts to every combination of the clearing company code and the other company codes. That is three company codes need 2*2 = 4 clearing accounts.( i didn't understand this part)

If you please help me to understand this concept i will realy appreciate that.

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

I've maintained the clearing accounts in OBYA. The cross company posting works well with FB01.

However, our company codes are assigned to different company in OBY6.

What happens if both company codes are not assigned to the same company in OBY6?

Would be thankful for your explaination.

Best regards,

Maintain the relevant accounts in table T001U or SPRO transaction OBYA. The purpose is to maintain the accounts for tracking the cross company postings between two company codes.

Thanks and regards
