Country Installation Program 
Use
You use this report to set up country-specific organizational units. You must take care when using it, as it is very powerful and overwrites a lot of important data. For this reason, you must use the report in the process described under Setup of Country-Specific Organizational Units. Furthermore:
· Only run the report in a clients that are exact copies of the delivery client. If you have already changed any Customizing settings in the delivery client or in the copied client, do not run the report. It will not function correctly if you have.
·
Do not attempt to run the report in your
production client, as it will overwrite the settings for all the
organizational units named 0001, if you have one with that name. Run it only
in your 
production preparation
client.
Features
To access the Country Installation Program, in Customizing for Enterprise Structure, choose Localize Sample Organizational Units.
Selection
On the selection screen, you specify which country template you want to apply to the sample organizational units.
If you want to see what settings a particular country template contains, but without actually making the settings, you can run the report in test mode.
Output
The report applies the country template to the sample organizational units as listed below. The organizational unit most affected by the changes is the company code. The changes made to the other organizational units are largely cosmetic.

Changes Made by System |

|
Much of the data in the global company code settings is changed. The system inserts a sample company code description, address, and VAT registration number. It also changes the document entry screen variant, field status variant, allocation indicator, chart of accounts, fiscal year variant, language, and currency. In addition, it changes the tax codes for nontaxable transactions.
In Customizing for Enterprise Structure under Definition ® Financial Accounting ® Define, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code ® Edit Company Code Data, you can see the sample company code (0001) and the company code templates (AR01, AT01, and so on). You must not attempt to use any of these as operational company codes. Instead, you must always create your own company codes as described above. |

Description, allocation indicator, chart of accounts, fiscal year variant, currency, primary and secondary cost elements The report assigns countries that work with the generic chart of accounts (INT) controlling area 0001. Countries that work with their own chart of accounts are assigned their own controlling area (see note below). In the case of Germany, two controlling areas are provided: DE01, for the Joint Standard Accounting System (Gemeinschaftskontenrahmen), and DE02, for the Industry Standard Accounting System (Industriekontenrahmen).
Unlike the other organizational units, you do not need to create copies of the controlling areas. Instead, you can work directly with the areas that are supplied. You only need to copy a controlling area if you need more than one of one kind (for example, if you have two companies in France and want them to use separate controlling areas – in this case, you would create a copy of FR01, use the copy for one company, and the original for the other). |
