Hello dear SAP FI experts,
As far as I have dealt with cross-company transactions in SAP, I could find the following advantages and disadvantages of cross-company transactions:
Pro:
- high flexibility (you can select the expense accounts and account assignment objects in automatically generated documents for other company codes)
- automatic document creation in other company codes of the group.
- cross-company code number with which you can easily found all the documents generated by the cross-company code transaction .
Cons:
- Whoever makes the postings must be familiar with expense accounts and account assignment objects (cost center, internal order, profit center, etc.) in all company codes of the group
- causes fair tax distribution to company codes when posting a document with cross-company code transactions does not work.
- high number of clearing accounts must be created for cross-company transactions
- you can reverse the cross-company document only in transaction code FBU8 one by one (No mass processing possible in standard SAP for it).
Can you please add any other advantages or disadvantages that I missed?
With kind regards
Emal
