Company codes
Description
Company codes are necessary to be able to plan on time, for example, for external warehouses, independent of local stock levels.
All logistical and MRP movements and quantities by company code are recorded separately in sub-monitors.
It is therefore possible to view the entire process per company code.
A company code can be attached to any business object such as a warehouse or a cost centre. When a document is posted, the system determines whether a company code must be used for posting. If this is the case, the company code is posted separately in addition to the global posting.
The company code, which can be created via the master data, must be assigned to an object (warehouse) for which it is to apply.
Usually these are warehouses that are to be managed via a separate company code, perhaps independently of the actual warehouse/stock.
On the company code, it is possible to specify whether the stock quantity or the requirements should appear in the total account of the part or not (joint or separate parts disposition - requirements stock lists).
For more information, see "Detailed information on company codes" and the information on domains.

| : Editor | Employee to whom the company code is assigned, or in the case of a new creation: user who created the company code. |
| : Organization | - |
| : : No main account posting | The warehouse quantities that are posted for the company code are either NOT managed on the main warehouse account if the check mark is set, or without the check mark they are managed together with the main warehouse quantities via the MRP and warehouse account. If a part has an in-house main warehouse and additionally an external warehouse (e.g. for material to be provided by the supplier), it is advisable to deactivate the main account posting (tick the box!) so that the requirements and stock list for the main warehouse and the external warehouse can be run separately and independently of each other. |
| : : : Belongs to | Company code to which this company code is subordinate (if available) |
| : : Contains | Company codes subordinate to this company code. |
| References | |
| : List | This list contains all master objects (preferably warehouses) that have been assigned to the company code. If a stock movement is created for a warehouse with an assigned company code, the company code is immediately entered on the document. |
| Booking | |
| Set posting limit | The company code just selected is saved as a booking limit. For description see: List. |
| : Delete booking limit | Deletes the set posting limit. Stock quantities are no longer posted to the company code or a higher-level company code. |
| : List | In the tree view, the higher-level company code is selected up to which the posting is to be made. Example 1: If only the current company code is selected, the quantities that are posted to this company code are not passed on any further, i.e. the higher-level company code does not also get the quantities added. Example 2: If the top company code is selected, the quantities posted in the current company code are passed on to all higher-level company codes up to the selected company code. Whether the quantities are registered on the total storage or total MRP account of the part is controlled by the tick "No main account posting" on the details tab. |
| Tree view | |
| All company codes | Displays all company codes with their hierarchies in the tree. |
| : List | The current company code is displayed with all its subordinate and superior company codes in a tree view. Double-clicking on a company code opens the editing screen for the company code clicked on. Attention: The windows remain in the selected tab, therefore the impression could arise that the double-click had no effect! |
| Domain declarations | |
| : Insert | Inserts a new domain declaration |
| Remove | Removes the reference of the selected domain declaration to the company code |
| : List | Domain declarations that are assigned to the company code. Not yet implemented: If a company code is used on a voucher, the domain declarations stored here are logged in during the posting. Thus, it is possible to split certain bookings also according to domains. |
