Portrayal Using Additional Company Code 

Use

You can portray parallel accounting in your SAP System by defining an additional company code. Difference postings are created for additional accounting and posted to the additional company code. Reporting covers the actual company code and the additional company code.

Integration

The additional company code approach is only supported by the application component Financial Accounting (FI). It is no longer possible to post to an additional company code from any other application component.

If you are an upgrade customer from an R/3 Enterprise release, you can continue to use this obsolete approach in Asset Accounting (FI-AA). However, you cannot make new settings in Customizing or reconfigure the approach.

SAP recommends that you only use this approach if it is already implemented and you have no additional requirements.

Features

You can post to an additional company code with the following valuation reports:

·        Value Adjustment

·        Reclassification and Sorting of Receivables and Payables

·        Foreign Currency Valuation

 

In addition to the automatic postings created by the valuation reports, you can perform manual postings to the additional company code.

For more information about the settings for these reports, see Parallel Accounting in Financial Accounting.

Reporting

For reporting, you can use the following tools in this approach:

·        Drilldown Reporting

·        Report Painter/Report Writer

·        To create financial statements, you can use the report Financial Statements (RFBILA00)
