Pro and contra of cross-company code transactions

774 Views

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:

  1. high flexibility (you can select the expense accounts and account assignment objects in automatically generated documents for other company codes)
  2. automatic document creation in other company codes of the group.
  3. cross-company code number with which you can easily found all the documents generated by the cross-company code transaction .

Cons:

  1. 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
  2. causes fair tax distribution to company codes when posting a document with cross-company code transactions does not work.
  3. high number of clearing accounts must be created for cross-company transactions
  4. 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
