Cross-Company-Code Measures 

Use

In the case of holding structures, the asset portfolio is frequently managed in a central asset accounting system in the holding company code, while the local company codes handle the day-to-day processing and management accounting for measures.

Features

You can reflect this kind of structure in the Investment Management component. You create investment measures that have their WBS element or order in one company code, and their asset under construction in another. As a result, management accounting functions take place locally in the company code that is carrying out the measure, whereas the asset under construction and the final asset are managed centrally for the balance sheet in the central company code. However, make sure that the order or WBS element and the accompanying asset under construction are both

Master Data

When you create an order or WBS element with an investment profile, the system automatically creates an accompanying asset under construction (refer to Control Functions of the Investment Profile and Master Data Maintenance ). Normally, the system creates the asset under construction in the same company code as the order or WBS element. However, you can change this. When you enter a different company code in the master data of the order or WBS element (in the requesting company code field), the system creates the asset under construction in this requesting company code.

Settlement

In this case, the periodic settlement from the order or WBS element to its accompanying asset under construction takes place using the company code clearing accounts of the General Ledger (FI Customizing: General Ledger Accounting ® Business Transactions). In the sending company code, the system debits expense accounts. In the company code of the asset under construction, the system debits the AuC balance sheet accounts. The company code clearing accounts of the particular company code serve as the offsetting accounts in both cases. The system creates a clearing posting document for each settlement.

The needs of legal consolidation are not considered during settlement to a different company code.

Assets under construction and their final assets always have to be in the same company code.
