Changing company code of WBS

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to change the company code assigned to a wbs element after it is released and also has values.

Please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Yes after Rel of the WBS you can change the company code of the WBS. In PS

Projects can be managed across the company codes & not the controlling area.

So, once you have created the project than after you cannot chagne the Controlling Area of the Project /WBS.

Thanks for your reply Nitin,

In my case, both the company codes are in the same controlling area.

Can you guide me in what to do change the company code. At present the company code field is greyed out in the wbs level (not at the project level). Is there any field status change that can be done to make this editable.

Check you OPUK settings for the influencing fields.

Some where they have defined like that Company Code is display for some of the influencing field.

I checked in OPUK, company code is set as input and mandatory field.

If the company code in the project is changed, it will only impact the future transactions and will not affect the already posted transactions. Am I correct? Will there be major impact in the functioning of the project. Please let me know.

You cannot change the company code of the WBS if plan/actual values, commitments, or budget exist.

As suggested, One your structure the project and if you have not done your cost palnning /cost booking on porject that that time you should change the what ever chagnes you wanted to do. After cost posting, we should not change the company code / Plant ( If network is used )

If down the line you required, you can create new WBS in the same Project with another company code.

Hello all,

Once you have transactions posted, you cannot change the company code in the WBS Element.

The clean solution:

1. Close all the open orders.

2. Return the budget amount.

3. Settle the project

4. Close the WBS Element

5. Create a new WBS with new company code either within the project or another project

6. Migrate all the costs and revenues to the new WBS Element

If you want to use the same WBS with new company code

1. There is no way to change the company code in the WBS element eventhough you reverse all the transactions.

am agree with srinivasan .

we cant change the company code as cost/revenue /expediture/actual already booked .

solution is to copy new project with same controlling area if you required the same then you can chage company code in the required wbse element w/o any trsaction.

why can't you create a new WBS in the new comapnay code and then settle the old WBS to the new one

Close the old one as it will have no costs

You will need an internal settlement cost element
