Global company code - Cross system company code
In SAP retail system , may be from version 5.0 it
became necessary , I am not sure is that mandatory in General SAP ECC.5 or 6 .
We have similar requirement of Global company code in SAP ISU but there the
requirement is different . in ISU Global company code or Group contains all the
Company codes that are eligible to
receive the FICA postings and also maintain a paying company code
However in the SAP retail according to SAP help file ,
Global company code needs to be defined to maintain certain requirements of ALE
and IDOC processing with regard to NON SAP system
Global Company Code configuration is needed for Company Codes which uses
ALE distribution Scenarios for Data transfers through Non-SAP External
Systems with SAP System
Configuration

Global company code (Cross system company code)
Cross-System
Company Codes
Cross-system company codes are used in
the distribution in financial accounting. There is exactly one central system
for each cross-system company code in the distributed environment. One company
code has to be assigned to this cross-system company code on each system
involved in the distribution.
When sending an IDoc with company
code-dependent data, the company code is replaced with the cross-system company
code in all company code fields. When receiving this kind of IDoc the reverse
conversion takes place on the target system.
In this section you maintain the
cross-system company codes and allocate them to the local company codes.
Recommendation
The use of cross-system company codes
and business areas in distributed financial accounting is a provisional
measure. SAP reserves the right to replace this in a future release with a
tool that allows a conversion for all the organizational units of the SAP
system.
Therefore SAP recommends that you
choose consistent identifiers for the company code and the cross-system company
code.
Activities
1. Create a cross-system company code.
2. Assign the cross-system company code
to a chart of accounts to which it is also assigned on the central system.
This setting is needed on the decentral
systems in order to determine the chart of accounts of the company code on the
central system.
3. Assign cross-system company codes to
the local company codes.
Specify the identifiers of the relevant
cross-system company codes for each of the individual company codes.
