There are different characteristics used to determine the country or zone:
In some cases the characteristics are not consistent. For instance a company in Mexico can be in North America or Latin America depending on the characteristic used:
The aim of this page is to explain where does each characteristic comes from |
Company code Country [C_COMPCDE__0COUNTRY]
The country is assigned to a legal entity. I can be displayed in PF1_50 in the table Table ZZF_T001_MGT_V - Company codes in the field "Ctr"
- The company code 5720 & 5726 are both assigned to the country MX = MEXICO in the table ZZF_T001_MGT_V
It corresponds to the characteristic C_COMPCDE__0COUNTRY Company code Country in BW
In some cases there is another country entered in the field "Cty BFC". In this example:
- There is nothing in the field "Cty BFC" for the entity 5720
- But there is the country US in the field "Cty BFC" for the entity 5726

Obviously a company can only be in one country and the company 5726 is in Mexico and not in US so the . The field "Cty BFC" should not be used as it is but it will be used for the determination of the region "BFC Gestion Area" as explained below. |
Geography / Zone [C_COMPCDE__C_ZONE] or BFC Gestion Area [C_COMPCDE__C_MNGAREA]
A country is assigned to an Administrative Zone with the table ZWFAT114 - MAGNITUDE - COUNTRIES
- The country MX - MEXICO is assigned to the Administrative Zone AMSU - Latin America
- The country US - UNITED-STATES is assigned to the Administrative Zone AMNC - North America
The characteristic Geography / Zone [C_COMPCDE__C_ZONE] corresponds to the Administrative zone assigned to the country entered in the field "Ctr" in the Table ZZF_T001_MGT_V - Company codes (corresponding field in BFC = Admin Zone)
The characteristic BFC Gestion Area [C_COMPCDE__C_MNGAREA] corresponds to the Administrative zone assigned to the country entered in the field "Cty BFC" in the Table ZZF_T001_MGT_V - Company codes when it exists otherwise it is the same as the the characteristic Geography / Zone Zone [C_COMPCDE__C_ZONE] (corresponding field in BFC = ZAGESTION)
| Warning |
|---|
The country entered in the field "Cty BFC" is a dummy country that is only used to assign a company code to a different "Administrative zone". It is used when a country can belong to two regions (Russia, Mexico, Turkey) |
