Copy company code data for a chart of accounts
The chart of accounts requires company code specific settings. Therefore the existing general ledger accounts within the chart of accounts need to be extended with company code specific data. It is sufficient to use the existing IDES company code 0001 as reference in your prototype system.
Use the following path in the implementation guide: IMG >> Financial Accounting (new) >> General Ledger Accounting (new) >> Master Data >> G/L Accounts >> G/L Account Creation and Processing >> Create G/L Accounts with Reference
When accessing the configuration transaction, the screen shows an overview of target company codes and their reference company codes with regard to company code specific data for General Ledger accounts in the chart of accounts.
Add a row per company code that you have created and use the existing company code 0001 as reference company code.
Save these entries before you can continue with copying the data between company codes.
Now that you have saved the target and reference company code combinations, select one of the newly created rows and press the DETAIL button (button far left at the bottom on your screen, which is below the table of the target company codes).
A new screen appears with a blank table of General Ledger accounts. The next step is to fill this blank table with General Ledger accounts from the reference company code by selecting the menu path edit >> transfers accounts from reference.
A pop-up screen screen appears to allow you to select a specific range. Just keep these blank to identify that you want to copy all General Ledger accounts maintained in the reference company code. Press ENTER to collect the General Ledger data from the reference company code.
Now the table of General Ledger accounts is filled with the data collected from the reference company code. It is possible to make all kind of changes to the collected data. But no alternations are required for the model companies within the Sandbox Tycoon prototype system. Therefore it is sufficient to create the General Ledger accounts in the target company code by selecting the menu path edit >> create G/L accounts.
Save the data after the copying process has been completed.
You can now exit the configuration transaction.
