The strategies regarding defining controlling area.

•The Controlling Area is the fundamental organizational unit in Controlling. •A Controlling Area represents a closed system for cost accounting purposes.
•Cost allocations can only be performed within a controlling area. They cannot involve objects in different controlling areas.
•Several company codes may be assigned to one controlling area, which gives the ability to perform. cross-company-code controlling.

	One Area for Each Country	One Area for Asia
Periodic closing	CO assessments and closing procedures can be started independently	All companies must close FI period before CO assessments and closing procedures can be started (Time zones !)
Authorization concept	Less complex	More complex
Run times product cost calculations	Shorter	Longer
Customizing master data	Customizing must be copied to each area	Once
Operative chart of accounts	Different chart of accounts possible	One
Controlling across legal boundaries	Activity allocation within each country Separate reporting for each country	Cross country activity allocation Cross country reporting
Functions: Multiple valuation layers in CO-PCA for internal profit calculation Concern Calculation	Not possible Not possible	Possible Possible

• •Multiple controlling areas provide higher flexibility to subsidiaries at monthly closing.
•Less mutual coordination among the subsidiaries is required. E. g. Implementation of an individual chart of accounts in China would be feasible.
•Authorization concept is less complex with multiple areas.
•Cross company activity allocation must be carried out through issuing of invoices due to legal requirements.
•No intentions to set up an Asian, cross country overhead cost controlling are known.
