Lack of central finance governance and lack of control over system implementations or acquisitions without full integration are possible reasons for multiple charts of accounts being set up in an enterprise. When there are multiple charts of accounts, the process of consolidating data from all the entities can be laborious. In addition, the differences in processes and customising systems result in high maintenance effort. On the other hand, having a harmonised chart of accounts would simplify period-end closing and ensure consistent reporting. As such, many enterprises aim for a global chart of accounts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what do we mean by the chart of accounts harmonisation in SAP?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, it is the usage of one single chart of accounts (CoA) across all entities of an enterprise.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-62398 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chart-of-Accounts-Harmonisation-in-SAP-1.jpg\" alt=\"chart of accounts harmonisation in sap\" width=\"479\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chart-of-Accounts-Harmonisation-in-SAP-1.jpg 479w, https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chart-of-Accounts-Harmonisation-in-SAP-1-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge with this initiative is designing the global chart of accounts and ensuring minimal disruption to the business during the transformation. The close collaboration of the accountants and controllers is required for defining the global CoA and mapping old accounts to new account numbers. Only they know best which processes are covered within which accounts. Their input is also required to create a handbook comprising comprehensive guidelines on financial postings to each account defined in the global CoA.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">System-wise, the CoA harmonisation procedure can be handled in multiple ways:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create new company codes<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach involves creating a new CoA for the organisation and creating new Company Codes assigned to the new CoA. Data will then need to be migrated into the new company codes and system configuration to be set up based on the new CoA.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change existing CoA\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach involves adding new G\/L accounts to the existing CoA and posting from old to new accounts. System configuration will need to be updated and made effective at the due date.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landscape transformation<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach involves changing all accounts to the new set-up using landscape transformation software. After the transformation, the system looks like the new accounts have always been in place. This approach results in the least effort and disruption to local business and is cbs best practice.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the transformation approach selected, conversion of master, transaction and customising data related to G\/L accounts will need to be performed. Adjustments of validations and substitutions, sets, ABAP coding, report variants, interfaces etc, are also necessary.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the landscape transformation approach is advantageous as:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there are no specific preliminary activities required, e.g. reducing the number of open items<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the cutover date can be freely defined,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there is full business continuity (no hard cut in reporting, which would have hindered comparability to previous years)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2 id=\"heading\"><\/h2>\r\n<h2 id=\"how-does-cbs-one-finance-support-coa-harmonisation\"><b>How Does cbs ONE Finance Support CoA Harmonisation?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help organisations achieve successful finance transformation, cbs offers a product called ONE Finance which covers all services from developing the strategy to defining concepts and, finally, realising, using market-leading transformation skills.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-62408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cbs-one-finance-coah.jpg\" alt=\"cbs one finance coah\" width=\"474\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cbs-one-finance-coah.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.cbs-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cbs-one-finance-coah-300x290.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategy<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phase is typically called &#8220;Pre-study&#8221; where management input is required in defining and aligning the steering concept and business strategy.
