Function documentationDeletion of a Company Code Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You delete a company code when you sell a legally independent company or want to separate a part of the company or clear the system of company codes that are no longer in use.

This deletion frees up the memory space occupied by the company codes no longer being used.

Prerequisites

You are using the SAP Landscape Transformation solution.

Features

The deletion of a company code affects the following data, among others:

  • FI master data:

    • G/L accounts

    • Customers

    • Vendors

    • Fixed assets

  • CO master data:

    • Cost elements and revenue elements

    • Cost centers

    • Overhead cost orders

    • Profit Center

  • Accounting documents:

    • G/L account

    • Customer

    • Vendor

    • Fixed asset documents

    • Material documents

    • Material stock postings

    • GR/IR postings

    • Inter-company postings

  • Open transactions: for example, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, sales orders, production orders, assets under construction, projects or internal orders

  • Upper- and lower-level organizational units: for example, plants, purchasing and sales organizations

Note Note

The deletion of a company code is a change without a document.

When you delete related company code data, references to other plants that you have stored in QM or MM are lost. This can cause inconsistencies.

End of the note.

The following data is not deleted:

  • Programs for the market and profitability segment analysis

  • Users, authorizations, authorization objects

  • Archive data

  • Spool lists

  • Batch input sessions

  • Data Dictionary objects: programs, tables, structures, views, append structures, user exits, and so on.

The tables affected by the changeover are determined by means of the SAP domains and are changed directly on the database.

If all the company codes to be deleted are assigned to exactly one controlling area, and no other company codes are assigned to this controlling area, the company code is then deleted on the level of the controlling area.

The data is adjusted by means of a system copy.
