Dear @huny 

As @SAPSupport  also confirmed that it is not feasible to have multiple Controlling area. 

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, the standard configuration involves only one Controlling area. A controlling area may contain one or more company codes which can operate in different currencies, if required.

Each controlling area has one common chart of accounts. Deviating accounts, which may be necessary for example for legal reasons in some countries, can be maintained using an alternative account number.

If different countries use different Charts of Accounts (CoA) in one tenant, the Controlling Area needs to be separated. In this case, do we need to split the tenant?

@huny As per SAP , the standard configuration involves only one Controlling area. A controlling area may contain one or more company codes which can operate in different currencies, if required. Each controlling area has one common chart of accounts. Deviating accounts, which may be necessary for example for legal reasons in some countries, can be maintained using an alternative account number .

Using the Country CoA for countries like China and Vietnam, which have government-mandated CoA structures, is quite challenging in practice. In the PCE version, the Controlling Area is separated to implement these countries.
