Company code change involves invalid change of country

[Former Member]

Hi collegues,

we are facing one problem. We would like to change Cost Centre to root org. unit in IT 1001 (A 011) and when we do that, the next message apearrs:

Company code change involves invalid change of country

Message no. PD002

Diagnosis

The change that you want to make leads to a change in company code for the persons linked to the organizational objects. When this particular company code changes, the country also changes or the new company code is not assigned to any country. It is not possible to change a company code for a new company code which belongs to another country, or is not assigned to a country. The change is therefore terminated. terminated.

System response

The action is terminated. No organizational change is carried out.

Procedure

Changes can only be carried out within a country. The country change cannot be carried out from the current action.

Searching on the net, I haven't found what exactlz causes this message. I have checked the company code and it is assigned to the same country, so if anyone had experience with this message can you help what exactly is causing a problem.

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you check the value for ADMIN CNTRY switch in table T77S0? You may have an u2018Xu2019 there. Try after placing a blank. If it works, make sure to test other scenarios too.

Hope this helps.

The system is showing this error message because the change in the

country assignment of the organizational unit would lead to country

changes of the assigned employees which is not allowed.

ADMIN CNTRY switch should be set as well, but you ll get the error if above is true.

check in infotype 0003 value of VIEKN which corresponds to country

Hi Donnie and Siddhart, ADMIN CNTRY switch is off and VIEKN is for employees and I need to assign cost centers to Org Unit.

Thank you for helping.

Best regards,

Hi

Please check the company code and the country assigned to the cost center you are mapping to the org unit.

Coz cost center creation needs a controlling area and company code which has country assigned to it.
