Short text Customizing: Country Version Description You use this program to activate the country versions supplied with the standard R/3 System. The standard Customizing settings required for the country versions are supplied in client 000. Note Ensure that company code 0001 contains all of the standard Customizing settings according to the chart of accounts INT. The Customizing settings for the various standard countries (which cover legal and business requirements) are contained in the company code templates XX01 (where XX is the country key). However, these templates only contain some of the standard Customizing settings for company code 0001, which means that you cannot use them as your production company code. You must only use them in conjunction with this program. When you execute the program, the R/3 System makes the standard Customizing settings for the country in question in company code 0001, for example:

the chart of accounts account determination tax calculation schemata financial statements payment methods charts of depreciation cost elements.

The program integrates the legal and business requirements contained in the templates by overwriting the country-specific parameters in company code 0001, combining the company code with the appropriate controlling area.

For standard countries that use chart of accounts INT, that means a combination of the company code 0001 and controlling area 0001. For countries with their own chart of accounts, the result is a combination of company code 0001 and controlling area XX01 (again, where XX is the country key). You execute this program in your test system, in a copy of client 000. You then test the Customizing settings and transport them to your production system. Caution You must not execute the program in your production system, because it will change the current Customizing settings to those of the country in question. The program changes the settings of company code 0001 exclusively. Requirements In order to execute the program, you will need authorization for the authorization object S_TABU_CLI. Procedure 1. Make sure that company code 0001 in the test client still contains the standard Customizing settings (delivered in client 000). You must not have changed any settings. If you need to restore the original standard Customizing settings, you can transport them from client 000. 2. In company code 0001 of your test client, start the country installation program and install the standard country version that you want. 3. Choose Change country-specific settings in Enterprise structure customizing. 4. Choose Country version. 5. Enter the country that you want to install and start the program. If the system prompts you to enter the chart of accounts, do so. Note If you execute the program in test mode, the R/3 System does not make any changes to the database, but issues a log of all the changes that the System would normally have made. It does not make any changes unless you execute it in update mode. 6. Using the entity copier, copy the new Customizing settings into a new company code of your choice. Caution Do not use company code 0001 for production operation. 7. Check that the copied organizational units and their dependent objects are complete. Make any manual adjustments required. Copying the organizational units into a different company code means that company code 0001 remains available for other country installations.

Creating Multiple Country-Specific Company Codes Repeat the above procedure for every other country. You do not need to restore the settings in company code 0001 unless you have made any changes to the standard Customizing settings (other than installing the country versions).
