• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECOCA002 - Objects belong to different company codes ?

  The SAP error message RECOCA002, which states "Objects belong to different company codes," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or postings where the system detects that the objects (such as cost centers, internal orders, or other financial objects) involved in the transaction are associated with different company codes. This can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and accounting, as transactions should generally be confined to a single company code.
  Cause:
  
  
  Different Company Codes: The most common cause is that the objects being used in the transaction (e.g., cost centers, internal orders, etc.) are assigned to different company codes. For example, if you are trying to post a journal entry that involves a cost center from Company Code A and an internal order from Company Code B, the system will raise this error.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system where the relationships between different financial objects are not correctly defined.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently select objects from different company codes during data entry.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Object Assignments: Check the company code assignments for the objects involved in the transaction. Ensure that all objects belong to the same company code. You can do this by navigating to the relevant master data (e.g., cost center, internal order) and confirming their company code assignments.
  
  
  Correct the Transaction: If you find that the objects belong to different company codes, you will need to either:
  
  Change the object to one that belongs to the same company code.
  Split the transaction into separate postings for each company code if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the relationships between different financial objects are correctly set up.
  
  
  User Training: Provide training to users to ensure they understand how to select the correct objects and the importance of company code consistency in financial transactions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like KS03 (Display Cost Center), KO03 (Display Internal Order), or OBY6 (Define Company Codes) to check the details of the objects involved.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for more detailed information on financial postings and company code configurations.
