FI/CO module Roll out

[Ahmed_Samir]

Dear Experts,

My customer wants to roll out a new company code in a Egypt, i have 2 question:

1- What will be the case for number range, is it OK to transport the for the new company code only to production or we need to maintain it on the production server (i'm taking about all the number range "document type, vendors MD customer MD and Asset number range")

2- They are rolling out only the FI/CO module and later on they will extend the MM, PP & SD module, what will be the case for inventory account, can we make a direct posting on it and later on after implementing the MM module we make the posting through OBYC config and MIGO.

Hi Ahmed,

1. Number ranges to be maintained directly in production system. Not to be transported.

2. You can allways add GL Account to OBYC once MM&SD in place and you can make direct postings till that time. But It is always recommended to have separate GL for Manual posting and update with different GL for direct postings. This helps for reconcilation if any.

Dear Santosh,

Thanks for your respond, appreciated.

Regarding the number range, when we make the copy from the old company code to the new company code should we take the number range or not? when we transport this request is it going to effect the already exists company code?

Hi Ahmed,

It is not required to copy number ranges while copying company code. You will get option to exclude this while copying. You should choose option not to include number range while saving transport request.

You can create number ranges manually with desired ranges in your target system.It will impact target system if you transport number ranges as existing system has already same number ranges created for the existing company codes and you will not be able to differentiate if you copy.

Hope it helps.

You are welcome Ahmed.

Just to keep update with one more point, it is always recommend to create new company code instead copy from existing company. This ensures that you think of each parameter and whether required or not before updating. It hardly takes time.

If it is just for testing in sandbox system, you can proceed with copy option.

Dear Santosh,

I Agree with you, but as you referred it takes a lot of time, i think if all the process for both companies the same, it's okay to copy from existing one and change the related parameters  like fiscal year variant and posting period variant.

if it will effect any thing else, please inform me to take it as a note during the roll out.

Thanks,
