Merging of Company Codes means merging of Plants under the Company Codes? if yes, then you need to follow the below

steps...

Ex: CompanyCode ABC & Plant 123 and Company Code XYZ and plant 789..

if the case is to merge the Company Code XYZ in ABC..

1. Close all open Purchase documents in plant 789

2. Close all open Inventorly documnets in plant 789

3. Close all open STO documents in plant 789

4. Close all open deliveries in plant 789

5. extend all the Materials to Plant 123

6. Transfer all the stock to Plant 123

7. extend all the Vendors & Customers to ABC & Purchase Org

8. Need to Check the STO configuration of 789 and if required configure in 123

9. need to check for 789 plant based condition records and need to setup for plant 123

10. Mark deletion indicator for all plant 789 Purchasing documents

11. Need to remove the Plant 789 from Authorization Roles..

12. Need to communicate to vendors about the merger.

13. need to look at interfaces if any..

There will be many issues, you may face once you go for UAT & Integration testing.

There are no direct answers to your query. There are lot many things to be taken care of.

I will try to list few,

Whether co. code 1 is to be merged with Co. code 2 or there is going to be co. code 3 where both co. codes will be moved?

All Vendor Masters and material masters (all other master data as well) needs to be created/extended for new co. code/plants.

Decide what has to be done with your inventory and where (which plants of new co. code) you are going to move inventory to?

What about open POs and other purchasing documents? Try to keep this as minimum as possible, but all open items needs to be shortclosed in current co. code and reproduced in respective plants of new co. code.
