Is Company Code Activation (Set to Productive) typically included in Mock Cutover

[Former Member]

Hello.

In a typical mock cutover, is the setting of the Company Code to productive typically included?

Given that it can be re-set, I can't think of a down side to doing so. I'm just looking for what is standard practice.

Thanks.

Hi David,

The purpose of Company Code set to Productive is mainly to prevent any inadvertent deletion of data by the users like resetting depreciation data, deleting vendors / customers etc. For example, If one of your cut-over task is to delete the some of transaction data in your test system, then you need to remove this tick and delete and then put it back. It all depends on your requirements, how you want to use this field.

But, as far as production system is concerned, you MUST ensure you have selected this check box in OBY6 transaction code. Include this as a manual task in your cut-over plan. Otherwise, any inadvertent deletion of data would become very costly for the business.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
