Organizational structures occur in all important functional areas of the SAP system. The most important organizational elements in Financial Accounting are the company code and the business area. The most important organizational element of the Controlling application is the controlling area.
A company code is an independent accounting entity (the smallest organizational element for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up).
Example: a company within a corporate group. A company code has a unique, four-character key, which can be alphanumeric.
The general ledger is kept at the company code level and is used to create the legally required balance sheets and profit-and-loss statements for the company code. A company code is specified on every financially based transaction of mySAP ERP. This is done either manually or by deriving the company code from other data elements.
The business segments, or branches, in which a group operates can be set up in the SAP system as business areas. Business areas provide an additional evaluation level for segment reporting, for example. Use of business areas is optional.
Business areas are generally company-code independent. You can post to them from any company code. The Business area field shows up as an additional account assignment when posting to an account as long as the field is turned on in configuration. The field can be made a required entry during posting.
If certain company codes are not active in specific business areas, you can use a validation to prevent postings to this business area from the company codes specified.
