s4/hana1709 - deactivate CO Company Code Validation indicator (OKKP)

2246 Views

hello,

I have a question regarding the ability to make a cross-company code assignment in S4/HANA Finance or EM.

I have a scenario where a cost center must be used by several company codes. the company codes use the same controlling area and i defined the assignment control as "cross-company code cost accounting". The indicator for "company code validation" is flagged by default and can not be deactivated !

when i try to deactivate it, the system issue the following message:

Please activate company code validation (mandatory)

Message no. FINS_ACDOC_CUST253

Diagnosis

Company code validation is inactive for CO area Z001 and fiscal year 2017.

System Response

Cross-company cost assignment is only possible for external postings, such as material consumption in SAP S/4HANA.

Procedure

Please activate company code validation.

I understand that this is a change with S4/HANA but this was possible in ECC !

does S4/HANA provide a new way to make such scenario ?

i found no OSS note nor documentation on this topic ?

thanks in advance for the SAP community.

regards,

Redouane
