Use

In these IMG activities, you set up the revaluation areas. How many you need depends on a number of factors:

  • Do local accounting regulations require you to keep revaluation amounts separate from all other general ledger postings?

    If so, create two depreciation areas:

    • A revaluation area, where the system records only the revaluation amounts
    • A derived depreciation area, which will show the adjusted asset values by adding together the values from the book depreciation area and the revaluation area

      If you are allowed to record revaluation amounts in the book depreciation area itself, you need not create any other revaluation areas.

  • Do you need to create different sets of inflation-adjusted financial statements?

    If your company prepares more than one set of inflation-adjusted financial statements, for example, one for tax purposes and one for controlling purposes, create a separate revaluation area and derived depreciation area for each.

  • Does your company code work with parallel currencies?

    If so, you must create a copy, for each parallel currency, of each revaluation area that posts to the general ledger. Customize theses parallel currency areas identically to their local currency areas, but do not mark them for posting to the general ledger.

Activities

In this IMG activity, you carry out two steps. First you define the depreciation areas that you want to use as revaluation areas, then you specifiy that they are revaluation areas.

Defining Revaluation Areas

Proceed as follows, depending on whether the area is a revaluation area, a derived depreciation area, or a parallel currency area.

Revaluation Areas

  1. Select Real dep. area.
  2. Set Posting to G/L to 1 (Post assets to general ledger realtime)

    This means that when you post a transaction such as an asset retirement and the system has to calculate the gain or loss on the asset, it takes into account the postings made in this revaluation area and therefore allows for inflation when calculating the gain or loss.

    It does not mean that the system automatically transfers the revaluation amounts from this revaluation area to the general ledger. That only happens when you execute a depreciation run.

  3. In the Management of values group box, select:
    • Positive net book value
    • Negative net book value

Derived Depreciation Areas

  1. Deselect Real dep. area.
  2. Set Posting to G/L to 0 (No values are posted in general ledger)
  3. In the Management of values group box, select:
    • Acquisition and production costs
    • Positive net book value
    • Negative net book value
  4. In the Entries for derived depreciation area group box, enter:
    • The book depreciation area
    • The revaluation area

      In order for the system to add the two together, enter + and 1 in the Area Sign and Proportion fields respectively.

Parallel Currency Areas

Proceed as for real areas, but set Posting to G/L to 0 (No values are posted in general ledger).

Specifiying Area Types

In this IMG activity, enter 17 (Depreciation area for handling inflation (hard currency))in each of the depreciation areas you want to use as a revaluation area.
