Network activities company code / plant

[Former Member]

Is it possible to have network activities in one network to belong to different company codes?

The same is no possbile, Because Network is defined a plan level. And One plant can be a part of only One Company Code. So, Conceptually the same is no possbile, You can a max. create no of network with diff. Plants a/c to you requiremen.

Hi Nitin,

Let me disagree with your logic. Projects are also defined for one company code, but WBS-elements in the same project can belong to different company codes.

Thank you,

You can have WBS elements belonging to different company codes as long as the company codes are in the same controlling area. However this does not apply to networks.

The network header can only belong to one company code and all the network activities in that header will be for the same company code. You can have another network header with activities for another company code in the same project as long as the company code is assigned to the same controlling area.

I seem to agree with Nitin.

At least I am glad to know that you are not sure about it.

Do you know why do we have the plant field at the network activity level, even though it exist at the network header level?

Let me end up with this discussion: as long as the plant of a network activity belongs to the same Controlling area, there is no issue to have activities assigned to different plants and company codes within the same network.

Hi Peter,

You are correct. I've tested the same in ECC6.0 - SP 6 and your statement seems to be correct.

Can anybody let me know the work around for this so that a network doesn't have multiple activities with different plants - each assigned to a different company code.

Hi Satti,

Use the field selection option to hide/display the plant field without changing and use standard networks as template while creating operative ones.

Please check it in your system and let us know.

The reason I asked the question is to get independent confirmation, because unfortunately I have no system available at the moment to check it.
