Chapter 18 ■ Customizing the Controlling Module
Currency Type: Enter the currency type that you want to use for your
controlling area; we use 10 in this example. SAP comes with standard currency
types (10-Company Code Currency, 20-Controlling Area Currency, 30-Group
Currency, 40-Hard Currency, 50-Index-Based Currency, and 60-Global Company
Currency).
Currency: Specify the country currency key (GBP is used here) that you want to
use for your controlling area.
Chart of Accts: Enter the company code’s chart of accounts you want to use for
the controlling area. CA90 is used here.
Fiscal Year Variant: Enter the fiscal year variant (C4). This is the same fiscal year
variant you used in your company code.
CCtr Std. Hierarchy: Enter a meaningful identifier key for your cost center
standard hierarchy. The cost center standard hierarchy you enter here will define
the tree structure of the cost centers belonging to your controlling area. In this
exercise, we used H-C900 as the cost center standard hierarchy.
Document Type: Enter the document type (SA) for G/L account posting. This
will represent the document type for your controlling area. This document type
can be accessed using the matchcode next to the document type field.
■■Note
only company codes with the same chart of account in the controlling area can use the same
controlling area.
Click the Enter button on the top-left side of the screen to confirm your entries. The Check Standard
Hierarchy dialog box comes up asking if you want the system to create a standard hierarchy for the standard
hierarchy identifier key (H-C900).
Click the
button at the bottom of the screen to confirm that you want the system to create a
standard hierarchy for your standard hierarchy key (H-C900).
The second step is to assign the company code(s) to the controlling area.
■■Note
make sure you assign the company code before activating the components/control indicators.
To create the standard hierarchy for your cost centers, double-click the
folder in the Controlling area of the left pane of the New Entries screen. The Check Standard Hierarchy dialog
box pops up again stating that, “Standard hierarchy does not exist, should the system create it?”. Click the
button to confirm that you want the system to create the hierarchy. The Change View “Assignment
of Company Code(s)”: Overview screen appears. This screen allows you to assign your company code to the
controlling area you defined earlier. Click the
button on the top-left side of the screen. The New
Entries: Details of Added Entries screen is displayed. Enter your company code (C900) in the CoCd (Company
Code) field. Click the Enter button on the top-left side of the screen and then save .
The third and last step is to assign components and control indicators.
To assign controlling components and control indicators to your controlling area, double-click the
folder in the Controlling area on the left pane of the screen.
The New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen is displayed (Figure 18-2).
