Company:
A company is an organizational unit in Accounting which represents a
business organization according to the requirements of commercial law in
a particular country.
It is the smallest organizational unit for which individual financial
statements are created according to the relevant legal requirements. A
company can include one or more company codes
To define a company, choose the following in Customizing for the

SAP recommends that copy a company code from an existing company
code. This has the advantage that also copies the existing company
code-specific parameters. If necessary, change certain data in the
relevant application. This is much less time-consuming than creating a
new company code.
Recommendation:
Consultant should keep the preset company code number 0001 if client
require only one company code. This keeps to a minimum the number of
tables you need to set up.
Navigate to Define company code

in these fields in the target company code manually. The exact procedure
is specified for each field.
