Retrospective effect for Group Chart of Accounts

[suhail30071]

Hello

We have a customer who have about 4-5 company codes, all of which have different charts-of-accounts assigned. Therefore they cannot report across company (as they are in different CO Areas – because the chart isn’t the same in all company codes). They are looking to put a group chart in to standardise some reporting.

These systems are already live – so I need to understand if they can be retrospectively applied. In addition, I need to understand if a program needs to be run to update any existing transaction records ?

If changing the existing way data is very challenging, then you can look for implementing the group chart of account in downstream layer like BPC Consolidation etc. for harmonized reporting. The mapping can be done from your operational CoA to group CoA for past data also and can be reported.

Thanks,
