Parallel Currencies in Asset

accounting
3

In FINANCIAL  accounting apart from the loacal CURRENCY  we can define two additional CURRENCIES  for
thecompany code. The main purpose of using parallel CURRENCIES  is to maintain the G/L accounts in different
currencies. The companies which have subsidiaries in different countries use parallel currencies to update the foreign
business transactions in different foreign currencies (parallel currencies).
We can use various CURRENCY  types for the parallel currencies such as Group currency, Global Company
currency, Index based currency and Hard currency.
The purpose of using parallel currencies in Asset accounting is to maintain the fixed asset values such as APC and
Depreciation in different currencies.
1. Define Currencies for leading ledger: (OB22)
SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Financial Accounting Global settings--> Ledgers--> Ledger-->Define
currencies for Leading ledger
  Here you define the additional currencies that you want to use

2. Define Depreciation Areas:


SPRO-->FINANCIAL  Accounting (NEW)-->Asset accounting-->Valuation-->Depreciation Areas-->Define
Depreciation Areas

Depreciation areas 1, 2 and 3 i.e. Book Depreciation, Special tax Depreciation and Derived Depreciation
are already defined in the system. Just select 0, Area do not post for Depreciation area 2
3. Define Depreciation Areas for Parallel CURRENCIES :
We should always copy the depreciation areas from the real depreciation area when creating depreciation
areas for the parallel CURRENCIES . Since, we are using two parallel currencies i.e EUR and USD. We
should define two depreciation areas for parallel currencies for each of the depreciation areas. i.e we
should define 1 depreciation area for USD and 1 depreciation area for EUR  for both Book Depreciation
area and Special tax depreciation area. Therefore we will have 4 depreciation areas for parallel
currencies 2 for Book depreciation and 2 for Special tax depreciation.
Depreciation areas for parallel CURRENCY  USD for Book Depreciation

In the same way create one more depreciation area for parallel CURRENCY  EUR for Book Depreciation
Depreciation areas for parallel CURRENCY  USD for Special Tax Depreciation
In the same way create one more depreciation area for parallel CURRENCY  EUR for Special Tax depreciation
4. Specify Area Type: (OADC)

Here you specify the purpose of the depreciation area i.e. for what type of valuation you want to use the
depreciation area.

5. Specify Transfer of APC values: (OABC)


Here we specify how the APC values will be transferred to the depreciation areas. For example if you
want to show the APC values of a depreciation in foreign CURRENCY  then you should use the the
local CURRENCY  values as basis, that means for depreciation areas in foreign currency you should
use book depreciation as the base. We should also mark the depreciation areas in foreign currency as
identical so that the values from the transferring depreciaiton area  are transferred without any changes.

6. Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms: (OABD)


Here we specify the transfer rules for the transfer of deprecation terms to the depreciation areas.
7. Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currency: (OAYH)
  SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Asset accounting-->CURRENCIES -->Define Depreciation areas for
Foreign CURRENCIES
Here we assign foreign currencies for depreciation areas in which we want to them to be valuated.

8. Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class: (OAYZ)

9. Create an Asset: (AS01)

10. Post Asset Transaction: (F-90)


Post a Transaction for the asset.
