Use
In Asset Accounting, you can manage depreciation areas in various currencies. The values from these areas can then be used for group consolidation, or for other analyses.
In this activity, 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.
You have to maintain the daily exchange rates in the production system in General Ledger Accounting (on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Environment -> Current Settings). Depreciation and proportional value adjustments for asset retirements are calculated directly in the foreign currency.
Example:
You need 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:
For legal consolidation, you can use the components Consolidation (EC-CS) or Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS). In addition to the decentralized historical translation of currency described here, these components offer many other options for conversion. For more information, see the documentation of the two components in the SAP Library.
Requirements
You have created a chart of depreciation in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New) under Copy Reference Chart of Depreciation/Depreciation Areas.
Standard settings
In the country-specific reference chart of depreciation, SAP supplies depreciation areas for legal consolidation in a foreign currency.
Activities
- Select a company code.
- Assign a foreign currency to your selected depreciation areas.
Note the following: For those depreciation areas of a ledger group where the Area Posts in Realtime indicator is set, it is not possible to change the currency. It always has to be the same as the local currency of the company code.
