Creating or Copying controlling area

[Former Member]

Can you please tell me, what is the standard SAP best practice:

1) To copy controlling area from existing 0001. (I tried copying from 0001 co area but could not)

2) Creating new controlling area.

Please let me know. I will be helpful.

Hi,

I prefere to create a new controling area. You have only to follow some steps in the menu path.

When you copy a controling area you have still have to do the same transactions in the menu path for making changes.

When you copy one the best is to use your country version when available

Hi,

I think the best way to avoid the further config is Copy by Template like CoAr and CoCd. It will save lot of time in maintaining the number ranges (KANK). Also all std doc types are automatically set.

Ofcourse one should localize the sample org to their country so that Currency and Fiscal Year Var are set auto.

Sometimes while copying SAP gives error regd some table entries.(Error TK455). Pl search SAP note by the same message no. and delete the field values like 12 for REICHWEITE.

Hope it clears the doubts.

Best Regards,

Kiran
