Answer / swati

To carry out cross-company code controlling between
different comapany codes, all company codes should use the
same operational chart of accounts.
(This is an alternative to using a group chart of accounts
where it is not possible to do cross-company code
controlling if companies are using their different
operational chart of accounts)
Company codes that nevertheless require a special chart of
accounts for external
reporting have the following option:
 A country chart of accounts is assigned.
 The country chart of accounts number (alternative account
number) is entered in every company code segment. Every
country chart of accounts number can only be used once.
Note: Since all company codes use the same operational
chart of accounts for postings, you can carry out cross-
company code controlling

Note that this field is also freely definable and can be
also used to enter a legacy account number.
