Depreciation areas can be managed in any currency in the FI-AA module. The values from these areas can then be used for group consolidation, or for other analyses.
In this step, you define depreciation areas that manage asset values in a foreign currency, per company code. For acquisitions, the translation into the foreign currency takes place at the exchange rate current on the posting date (for more information, see the Implementation Guide: Global Settings). The daily exchange rate is maintained in the productive system in the FI module (general ledger) under (Current settings). Depreciation and proportional value adjustments for asset retirements are calculated directly in the foreign currency.
Example
For example, it may be necessary to manage depreciation areas in the currency of the corporate group for legal consolidation. It is also advisable to set up separate depreciation areas in the group currency for the historical management of values. This is particularly recommended when the valuation of assets at the group level is different from the local valuation.
Note
The component FI-LC (Legal Consolidation) provides special functions for group consolidation. In addition to the decentralized historical translation of currency described here, this component offers many other options for conversion. For more information, see "Preparations for Consolidation" in the SAP library.
