More than one Paying Company Code per Sending Company Code

[Former Member]

This is related to numerous previous threads, but never has there been a final answer.

Scenario: One company that pays for it's own expenses, but certain expenses is paid for by the parent company. SAP only allows one paying company per sending company. We would thus like to use different payment methods to pay via the different company codes.

Some of the suggestions has been to use BTE 1860/1830 or sample_process_00001860, but no-one has ever confirmed whether this actually works or not.

Hi Vincent,

I have the same requirement and this post is very old so I don't know if you identified a solution.

If yes, could you please share it?

It would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Hello Vincent,

I appreciate this post is VERY old now but did you get a response from SAP.

We have the same requirement here where employee reimbursements are paid by another company code and vendor payments are paid within the company code.

thanks,

Hi,

Company Code 1 pays for the invoice booked in Company Code 2. This calls for cross company code transaction. When we say cross company, it means we need to create a Reconciliation Account which will have those transaction posted which are cross company

Let me give you accounting entries:

1. Invoice Booked in Company 2

Dr. Expense / Stock

Cr. Vendor

2. Payment of above invoice made by Company 1

Dr. Reconciliation Account

Cr. Bank

Simultanseously, in Company Code 2

Dr. Vendor

Cr. Reconciliation Account

The companies has to settle this reconciliation periodically.

For doing the above, following are the customisation:

T.Code: OBYA for assigning the reconciliation account

This account can be a GL / Vendor / Customer

T.Code: OBVU In company code 2, we will assign paying company as 1.

Hope the above helps, if yes, please assign points.

Thanks for the answer, but the question is not really related to cross-company code payments. We are using cross-company code payments currently where one company pays on behalf of 25 other companies.

The requirement now is for one of these 25 companies to pay for it's own specific expenses, but not all, the rest are still be be paid by the parent company. Thus,

Company Code / Paying Company Code

0001 / 0001

0002 / 0001

0003 / 0001 and so on.

The new requirement is:

0004 / 0001

AND

0004 / 0004

And this is what SAP std does not allow.

We would like to use different payment methods to pay through either the companies own bank account (0004) or through the parent company codes bank account (0001).

I have heard suggestions of using BTE's, but no-one can confirm this.

Hi,

In this case my suggestion will be for the payments to be made for own expenses then use T.Code: FBZ4 (I hope the transactions will be lesser as compared by the payment made by parent company)

Also customise as mentioned earlier enabling parent company to use F110.

Hoe this helps, if yes, please assign points.

Thanks, that could have been a solution.

However, the number of payments are a lot and we would also like to make EFT payments, not only cheque payments.

Hi,

Then you can decide which kind of transactions will be more. The more number of transactions can be mapped and the other has to choose F110.

Or:

Let the parent company transfer fund to local company from where all the expenses needs to be met.

Hoe this helps, if yes, please assign points.

Please explain "Then you can decide which kind of transactions will be more. The more number of transactions can be mapped and the other has to choose F110.".

The second option is not one we can use as it is a question of ownership of the expense. Expenses paid by the parent company is captured centrally and paid centrally. Expenses paid by the other company are captured by this other company and paid for by them. Thus, whoever captures the transaction, takes responsibility for it and payd for it.

Hi,

Just the no. of payment done by Company 004 and by 001 on behalf of 004.

Whomsoever has more no. of transaction will use F110. The other can use FBZ4.

In the second option, I meant, that a lum sum amount company 001 will transfer to the bank of 004. Company 004 will pay all expenses from that bank.

Hope the suggestions are helpful, if yes, please assign points.

Thanks, but none of the suggestions will solve the problem.

There is too many payments in both companies and FBZ4 is only for printing cheques, what about EFT payments?

The solution would be to be able to have more than one paying companies per company code.

I have logged a call on OSS and am awaiting response.

There is numerous requests for this type of solution across the internet and am expecting SAP to come up with a solution.
