Symptom

In the context of the migration to Asset Accounting (new) or during the activation of Asset Accounting (new), you have checked the prerequisites. However, an error message states that the currencies/currency types assigned in the general ledger and the currencies/currency types that are to be posted to via the chart of depreciation (and therefore, via the assigned depreciation areas) are not identical. It is not possible to migrate to Asset Accounting (new) and activate it.

In classic Asset Accounting, the checks are less strict. However, in Asset Accounting (new), the system must ensure that all currencies that update balances in the general ledger are also updated via Asset Accounting.

Other Terms

Asset Accounting (new); FI-AA (new); FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL; currencies; currency area; ACC_AA116; RASFIN_MIGR_PRECHECK; RACHECK_ACTIVATION_PARVAL; FAA_CHECK_ACTIVATION; sFIN; SAP Simple Finance

Reason and Prerequisites

You want to introduce Asset Accounting (new). This is available in the following releases:

l SAP Simple Finance add-on 1.0 or higher and l SAP ERP 6.0, Enhancement Package 7, SPS 02 or higher with the business function FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL ("FI-AA, Parallel

Valuation")

The system issues an error message, for example:

l Message ACC_AA116 ("Parallel crcy area (crcy type &1) missing for area &3 ch. of deprec. &2")

In the company code settings of the general ledger, you have assigned at least one other parallel currency in addition to the local currency for the ledger. Asset Accounting, however, does not supply all currencies of the ledger with values. Corresponding depreciation areas are not available for all parallel currencies in the chart of depreciation.

Example:

You map a ledger approach and have assigned two ledgers with the following currencies to your company code in the general ledger:

In Asset Accounting, you have assigned a chart of depreciation that contains the following areas:

    2180591 - Currencies in FI-GL and FI-AA are inconsistent

Other Components

Note the following:

l Ledger approach: The parallel currencies in the general ledger and in the depreciation areas in Asset Accounting must be defined congruently for the leading valuation as well as for the multiple valuations.

l Accounts approach: The parallel currencies in the general ledger and the relevant depreciation areas in Asset Accounting must be defined congruently for the leading valuation. For the multiple valuations, they do not necessarily have to be defined congruently.

Solution

Check the following settings (or the relevant IMG paths in classic Asset Accounting):

1. The assignment of the company code to the chart of depreciation. Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Organizational Structure -> Assign Chart of Depreciation to Company Code

2. Which currencies and accounting principles are assigned to the ledger/company code? Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Define Settings for Journal Entry Ledger

3. Which parallel currency areas are assigned for the accounting principles in your depreciation area? Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Valuation -> Depreciation Areas -> Define Depreciation Areas

4. Check the transfer of APC values for your parallel currency areas. Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Valuation -> Depreciation areas -> Specify Transfer of APC Values

5. Check the copy rules for depreciation terms for your parallel currency areas. Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Valuation -> Depreciation areas -> Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms

6. Check the currencies that are assigned to your depreciation areas. Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Valuation -> Currencies -> Define Valuation Areas for Foreign Currencies

7. Check the currency types/valuations that are assigned to your depreciation areas. Customizing: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting (new) -> Valuation -> Currencies -> Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies

If you have previously assigned several company codes to a chart of depreciation and in the general ledger, different parallel currencies are assigned to these company codes, in future, you must assign different charts of depreciation that take into account the relevant requirements with regard to parallel currencies. If the company code is productive and posting data exists, you require a program that you can use to reassign your company code to another chart of depreciation. Please contact SAP in this regard.

Note:

If you have to set up a new valuation area for the parallel currencies and your company code is productive and contains posting data, you must determine the values for the valuation area. If you migrate from classic Asset Accounting to Asset Accounting (new) in SAP Simple Finance, you must determine the new depreciation area before you install SAP Simple Finance.
