[welcomewiki]

SAP recommends that you used EC01 to copy an existing company code to a new one.



This has the advantage that you also copy the existing company code-specific parameters.



If necessary, you can then change certain data in the relevant application.



This is much less time-consuming than creating a new company code.



Following are the steps to create a new company code:-
Use EC01 to copy an existing company code. This will ensure that you will not missed out any customizing settings.



Tcode is OX02 or Goto tcode SPRO

SPRO -> SAP Ref IMG -> Enterprise Structure-> Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Edit,Copy, Delete, Check Company code


OKKP - Assign company code to the controlling area



OBY6 - Define company code global parameters

Meaning and Creation of Company codes


Which is the best method to create a company code.
- copy an existing company code or copying from country templates.


What is the process involved in copying from a country template.
For configuring SAP, generally three steps are required



1) create company name and address
2) creation of company code
3) currency and country setting
4) Assign company code to company


In same organization i.e. in one company more than two company codes are maintain, then its better to copy from other company code from ec01, later on you can customized/change specific settings according to client requirements.


If your want separate setting in your own company code, that time its better to configure by creation rather than copy


In above that is your choice and need for requirement.



Otherwise you can upload certain data by creating company code.
