Yes you need to maintain 4 CC. As tax and other legal rules will be differ for different countries.

Hi

If u wud create 4 C.C in 4 different clients then you have to do all the Configurations and Master data maintenance seperately for each client from the scratch where as if u create in one client ur ALL master data maintenance and config settingswill take less time and easy as well...Better to maintain in a single client.

Simple, Extend that customer 100012 to all company codes, Remember these all should be in same Client, then only you can extend that.

Hi

Better you go for single client for all CC. Client is anyways use for Business self report and manupulation.

"If i have the customer 100012 in company Code 1000, he may give orders to company code 2000,3000 and 4000.."

Yes your customer can place orders for other CCs as well if you have created the customer CENTRALLY (T code XD01). And extend it to all CC.

try and revert

Azeez,

you are confusing yourself, Understand that Customer has three part in SAP,

1. General Data : It will be applicable through out the client irrespective of Company code and sales area

2. Company code data: If you want customer to be applicable for 2000,3000, 4000, simply extend that customer with these company code, now after extending the currency applicable will be from company code.

3. Sales area data: if you want to extend sales are of customer, you can do the same.

Hi,

If you have single customer for multiple company code.

Then you have to extend your customer to different company code by going to the XD01.

In customer master your general data will be same for all the company code.

But company code data and sales area data will be different for different CC.

And your currency is generally stored in the sales area data.

So you can store different currency for the different company code.

Try out and check the result.

Raj.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply..

Now i understood very clear..

General Data will remain Same in all company codes, Company code data and sales area data will change..

So that i can change the currency..

i.e. Single Customer with multiple currency..

Points assigned...

Hey Azeez Mohammed ,

1) Do we need to maintain four company codes???

Yes , absolutely . As we consider the company code as the legal entity in which all the transactions releated to tax , excise ,audit , balance sheet etc depends on company code.

As you know that different countries have different tax plans , and the way they show to the govt etc.

For example India we have CIN but for US we dont have this.

2)2) If yes then we need to maintain in one client??

It entirly depends on the business need . yes we can have this in one client. In our company also we are having 3 company codes in one client

> 1) Do we need to maintain four company codes???

The main reason to differentiates company codes are the balance sheet and reporting with respect to Governemnt laws. And as the countries are different then its required for you to create four different company codes.

> 2) If yes then we need to maintain in one client??

Its possible, Client is used for Tablespace....means all the company code can share common data like customer's general details, material number etc
