Read Profit Center Data without Restriction to Company Code

NO_COMPANYCODE

* from Allevo version 3.0.7 (extended in Allevo 3.4)

Background: for performance reasons, reading reference data for the profit center is performed via the company code as selection characteristic. The company code may be found as follows:

· During reading within profit center integration, the company code is adopted from the master record of the current profit center. If no company code is stored there, the list of company codes for the current controlling area will be used instead. The last rule also applies if data of PC integration shall be read for a superior group (e.g. a cost center group). If the company code for a relevant profit center is missing, the list on the controlling area will again be used.  

· When calling the direct profit center planning, Allevo reads the reference data using the company code stored in the start of the respective Allevo transaction.

· In the MultiObject mode with call via a CO object type (e.g. in the MOWO application case), the company code is not available in the start screen. If profit center data shall however be read in the corresponding Master, Allevo will use the company code predefined via Excel (see field CC_BUKRS).

Constant NO_COMPANYCODE may be used to switch off the described reading via company code.  The constant is activated by entering X in column Value from. The constant applies to the classical and new general ledger.  

The switching off may be useful to ensure compatibility with earlier versions of Allevo (where reading was performed without company code) or also due to requirements resulting from the planning process.

Note:

If the constant is active, single column definitions may still be read via the company code; for this purpose, button “Read only object“ must be set in the corresponding settings. For an alternative, see constant READ_WITH_KEYSA allowing an individual selection condition on the field level; optionally also with reference to a row definition.   See also constant PC_REP_COMP_SEL for company code selection in the Reporting.

New from version 3.4.11

The constant may now also be applied during direct profit center planning and in the MultiObject mode.
