Function documentationCompany Code Merge

 

You can merge multiple company codes within a client. The objects of all SAP applications concerned are converted consistently. The document flow is not affected by this, and the continuation of all running processes is guaranteed.

You can also change the descriptions (texts) of the company codes during a company code merge.

Note Note

The following adjustments may be necessary in connection with a company code merge:

  • Structures (for example, controlling areas)

  • Master data settings (Customizing of general ledger, vendor, or customer accounts)

  • Related charts of accounts

  • Existing number ranges

Integration

If you use other transformation solutions in your project in addition to Company Code Merge, you can combine these with each other. You can combine the following transformation solutions with the company code merge:

Prerequisites

You are using the SAP Landscape Transformation solution.

You have closed and documented the old fiscal year with balance sheet and profit and loss statement.

You have discussed the concept and process as well as requirements of the documentation of company code merge with your auditor.

A test system is available. This system is a recent copy of the production system and is very similar to the production system with regard to the hardware.

The transports can be imported from the test system into the production system.

You have clarified whether and how authorizations must be converted within the merge.

You have performed the following analyses:

Once you have performed the analysis for company code merge, you have implemented the harmonization requirements that were listed in the analysis log. The following data of the company codes to be merged must match:

  • Operating concern of both company codes

  • Currency and currency indicator

  • Chart of accounts

  • Fiscal year variant

You have defined which company code is the leading company code, that is from which company code the original settings of the master data records and the Customizing settings should be transferred.

Note Note

Normally, only one master record can be used within a merge ("have priority"). Therefore, you cannot transfer specific settings from one of the source records and other settings from one of the other source records.

End of the note.

You have implemented the harmonization requirements that were listed in the analysis log.
