Inter company postings - with 3 company codes

[former_member624728]

Hi all

We are trying to understand, or rather, see if there is a way to configure the system on where intercompany postings should go to.

For example

Dr 100 to Company A

Cr 100 to Company A

Dr 100 to Company B

Cr 100 to Company C

What was created in the system

Document in A:

Dr 100

Cr 100

Dr 100 was posted again Cross Company Account of A & B

Cr 100 was posted Cross Company Account of A & C

Document in B

Dr 100

Cr 100 was posted against Cross Company Account of A & B

Document in C

Dr 100 was posted against Cross Company Account of A & C

Cr 100

Question:

In there anywhere in the config that we can set up the postings rules around which Cross Company Account it should go to? For example in this case, the postings for B & C to go to Cross Company Account of B&C?

Thank you

Yes, we did use that to specify which accounts to be used for each pair of company codes. And we had in fact set up the accounts to be posted A&B, B&C, and A&C

There is no issue when only 2 company codes are present in a document.

But when there are more than 2 company codes, how do the system determine which inter company accounts to post to?

In our example, postings within company A balances to 0, so logically the cross company transaction should be between B&C.

We want the system in this case to post to the cross company account of B&C, and not A&B and A&C

Thank you

How does SAP recognize which company codes are used? You enter a company code in the document header and you can ONLY enter one company code in the document header.

Then you enter another company code in the line item under "new company code" field. This is the way to tell the system that you want to post a cross company document between the header company code (A) and the new company code (B).

If you enter a third line with new company code C, the system still understands that the cross company posting is between the header (A) and the second line (C).

I think you are trying to post an entry which SAP does not support.

Under T-code OBYA, you can specify for every pair of company codes what GL Accounts you want to post for debit and for credit, respectively.
