Use
If you use parallel currencies, you can assign a currency type that is suitable for the given parallel currency to depreciation areas in this activity.
For the legal consolidation of your fixed assets, you might only need foreign currency amounts, but not need to use a different basis for valuation (APC/depreciation terms) than is used in the local currency. In that case, you can use the following functions of Financial Accounting (FI):
In the FI component, you can manage all values of a company code in parallel on the same accounts in up to three currencies. You can define three local currencies for this for every company code in FI Customizing. A local currency is defined by the following specifications:
- Currency type in accordance with the function of the currency (for example group currency)
- Type of exchange rate for the conversion
- Base currency for the conversion and
- Date (for example document date) for the conversion
Even the values that are posted within Asset Accounting can be updated in several currencies and in the same FI document in parallel with the posted amount in local currency in Financial Accounting. To do so, you have to manage a depreciation area with the following properties for each currency:
- Currency type and currency of the depreciation area are identical to the corresponding parallel currency in the company code in question.
- The depreciation area manages depreciation terms and acquisition values that are identical with those of the reference area.
The system then automatically supplies the corresponding posting documents with the additional values from these depreciation areas. The depreciation areas in foreign currency are not allowed to post explicitly (that is, based on Customizing settings under Define Depreciation Areas) to the general ledger.
Note:
The system also supports parallel currencies in depreciation areas that do not post in real time, but which are posted during periodic posting to the general ledger.
If you use group valuation and profit center valuation as parallel currencies, then note the following: The key used for parallel currencies in Asset Accounting is made up of the keys entered in Customizing for the currency type and valuation view (Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) under Define Currencies of Leading Ledger.
Example:
You defined the following additional local currency in Financial Accounting: Currency type 30 (group valuation), valuation type 2 (profit center valuation). If you want to enter this currency in Asset Accounting as a parallel currency for a depreciation area, do not enter 30 as the key. Instead choose key 32 (sum of keys for currency type and valuation type).
Keep in mind the following for the transfer of APC values and depreciation parameters:
- A transfer is only possible from depreciation areas that have the same ledger group.
- For those depreciation areas that post in real time to general ledger accounting (that is, for which you have set the Area Posts in Realtime indicator in Customizing for Asset Accounting (New) under Define Depreciation Areas), the following applies:
Such a depreciation area must never use values or depreciation terms from another depreciation area. (In that case, enter 00 as the key for the depreciation area.)
Adopting depreciation terms is only possible for depreciation areas for revaluation or investment support.
- The following applies to the transfer between depreciation areas: It makes no difference if the depreciation area adopts values from an area that has a key that is greater or smaller than its own key.
Requirements
In Customizing for Asset Accounting (New), you have defined the depreciation areas under Define Depreciation Areas.
Standard settings
The charts of depreciation provided in the standard system do not contain depreciation areas that manage parallel currencies.
Activities
Assign a currency type to the depreciation areas that corresponds to the given parallel currency.
