In this IMG activity you

The controlling area is an organizational unit in Accounting used to subdivide the business organization from a cost accounting standpoint.

The controlling area is embedded in the organizational structure as follows:

  • A controlling area may be assigned one or more company codes.
    • 1:1 relationship
      • You carry out cost accounting on a cross-company code basis.
      The internal and external accounting viewpoints are identical.
    • 1:n relationship
      • In cross-company-code cost accounting, all data relevant to cost accounting appears in a common controlling area and is available for allocations and evaluations. The internal and external accounting goals diverge. This method is preferred when, for example, a corporation posesses several independent subsidiaries and undertakes centralized cost accounting for all.

If you implement the CO (Controlling) component, you must maintain basic data and control indicators in the for the controlling area. You make these settings in the Controlling IMG.

Recommendation

We recommend that you use the controlling area "0001" supplied by SAP "0001" or that you copy this controlling area to your own controlling area and then making adjustments to suit your needs. Preliminary settings such as the definition of number ranges are already maintained for this controlling area.

    1. To do this, choose Enterprise Structure -> Localize Sample Organizational Units in Customizing.
    2. Choose Country version.
  2. Create your own controlling area with company code as a Copy of controlling area "0001" with company code "0001".
  3. Adjust this copy to your requirements.

    To do so, create your own controlling area with company code as a copy of the controlling area "0001" with company code "0001".

    Now delete the controlling areas you no longer require.

  1. In the dialog box, choose Delete SAP Delivery Data.

Note on deleting SAP delivery data

Further Notes

In cross-company code cost accounting, where a controlling area includes several company codes with differing currencies, assign the group currency as controlling area currency. The related company codes must all use the same operative chart of accounts.

During number assignment for organizational units in the controlling area (cost center, profit center, etc.), keep the possible addition of other company codes in mind as you work.

All internal allocation transactions refer only to objects belonging to the same controlling area.
