new chart of account assg to existing co code

[Former Member]

hai,

Is it possible to assign new chart of account to the existing company code. because already one chart of account was assigned to that particular company code. Now the problem is i want to change my old account group.

My old account group were 9 now i want to chage the account group as 4. Existing CA having the transaction data. So it is not possible to delete the leger as well as account group.

So i have decided to create new chart of account and the same is to be assigned to the existing company code. I want to know wheter it is possible or not. If it is possible, pls advice how to do this. please note that we are in development server stage.

Hi,

Once transaction data is posted it is not possible to change the chart of accounts assigned to a Company code. As you ahve indicated you are still in development stage, you can still create a new Company Code and do all the required configurations. However, this depends on several factors of the project and project time lines etc.

Thanks

Hi,

It basically means the transaction data already posted need to be reset - delete it.

Hi,

In addition to deletion of transaction data all account assignments for automatic postings from other modules like SD, MM etc needs to be changed. GL Accounts from new Chart of Accounts to be assigned.

Hi,

One additional comment:

if the transaction data is already posted, it means the company code level master data also already exits. This has to be deleted before assigning new chart of acccount. Deletion can be done at trx. ORB2.

Good luck, Kyoko
