Description
You use this program to activate the country versions supplied with thestandard R/3 System.
The standard Customizing settings required for the country versions aresupplied in client 000.
Note
Ensure that company code 0001 contains all of the standard Customizingsettings according to the chart of accounts INT. The Customizingsettings for the various standard countries (which cover legal andbusiness requirements) are contained in the company code templates XX01(where XX is the country key). However, these templates only containsome of the standard Customizing settings for company code 0001, whichmeans that you cannot use them as your production company code. Youmust only use them in conjunction with this program.
When you execute the program, the R/3 System makes the standardCustomizing 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 inthe templates by overwriting the country-specific parameters in companycode 0001, combining the company code with the appropriate controllingarea.
For standard countries that use chart of accounts INT, that means acombination of the company code 0001 and controlling area 0001. Forcountries with their own chart of accounts, the result is a combinationof company code 0001 and controlling area XX01 (again, where XX is thecountry 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 yourproduction system.
Caution
You must not execute the program in your production system, because itwill change the current Customizing settings to those of the country inquestion. The program changes the settings of company code 0001exclusively.


Precondition
In order to execute the program, you will need authorization for theauthorization object S_TABU_CLI.

Procedure
Make sure that company code 0001 in the test client still contains thestandard Customizing settings (delivered in client 000).
You must not have changed any settings. If you need to restore theoriginal standard Customizing settings, you can transport them fromclient 000.
In company code 0001 of your test client, start the countryinstallation program and install the standard country version that youwant.
Choose Change country-specific settings in Enterprisestructure customizing.
Choose Country version.
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 makeany changes to the database, but issues a log of all the changes thatthe System would normally have made. It does not make any changesunless you execute it in update mode.
Using the entity copier, copy the new Customizing settings into a newcompany code of your choice.
Caution
Do not use company code 0001 for production operation.
Check that the copied organizational units and their dependent objectsare complete.
Make any manual adjustments required.
Copying the organizational units into a different company code meansthat company code 0001 remains available for other countryinstallations.

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