Hi,

Can anyone be of assistance. I have just created a new company code and configured all the relevant GL codes etc. For some strange reason, each time I run transaction FB50 and others, the system notifies me that controlling area is not assigned to company code.

Because its a new configuration, I deactivated document splitting since I have not configured controlling as yet.

can some one help.?

Thank you.

Hi Jones,

This is system standard behaviour. To proceed, you need to create a controlling area, assign it to company code and activate the components.

Hi Jones,

Go to Controlling ->General Controlling -> Maintain Controlling Area

Select your created Controlling Area XXXX and choose "Assignment of Company Code (s)" from left side screen then Click on new entry screen.

Enter here your Company Code YYYY and Save.

Hope it works for you .

Hi Joshi,

Many thanks for the feedback. At this stage I do not want configure controlling area as I shall be doing that later. We are still at the earlier stages of the configurations so now testing basic FI postings.

Hi Dinesh,

Thank you. But what I doing here is I do not want to define controlling area now. I shall do that later on in the configuration. All i am doing here is testing the FI postings before proceeding with other configurations. Normally, the system should allow me to do this. I shall check the new GL settings to see if it is activated on the ECC6.0 server .

On the ECC4 & 5 servers , I had to deactivate document splitting for the new company code before posting FI documents and then activated this after the controlling configuration.

Hi Jones,

Can you please check if you have assigned a Chart of Accounts (which is used in any other company code and Cost Elements for P&L Accounts are created) to your company code.?

Hi Ravi,

Thanks. I did check that during the configuration as its a new COA for a new company in the development client on the ECC6.0 server I configured. Normally I should be able to post and FI document before controlling but not sure why? I shall check if New GL is activated as this may be my issue as well ? But not sure whether the activation of new GL in  this new compaby code could affect posting of FI documents in controlling has not been configured.

Thanks

Hi Ravi,

please see screen short. The development client wants me to configure controlling before proceeding but I will like to configure this later. I am using ECC6. server.

-"No controlling area has been assigned to company code"

I am aware no controlling area has been assigned because I shall be configuring that later.

I am not sure if the activation of new GL functionality may be affecting the posting of FI document before controlling is configured? I may try and disable new GL activation on company code to see ? Also , I had to deactivate document splitting because controlling was not yet configured . Let me know you taughts as I am working on the development client.

Did you check defination of Chart of account in Ob13 . and check whether you have created any Cost element or not . IF you have created cost element then Controlling area is required

Hi Jones,

Not able to get what has gone wrong...

Have you activated PCA scenario in New GL accounting.?

Had you ever assigned this company code to any controlling area previously and then removed the assignment.?

Also, please insert the screenshot of the error message and its long text which is missing in the previous reply.

Regards,

Ravi Kumar

Hi Ravi,

I know which is very strange as I have tried figuring this out but no way. This is a new development project / company code I am working on and its a new client /company code so never been assigned.

I shall check PCA scenario in new GL. What if that has been activated , will what do I need to do?

Hi Jones,

I just wanted to check if assigning PCA scenarios to New GL along with Document Splitting could be the reason. Not sure if this is the reason because Profit Centers are created at controlling area level.

If the error message is HF856 - then you need to follow the steps mentioned in the long text.

If the error message is I0232 - You may have to raise an OSS message to SAP.
