Parallel Currencies in Asset Accounting

8/10/2019 Parallel Currencies in Asset Accounting

1/8

In Financial accounting apart from the loacal currency we can define two additional currencies for the

company code. The main purpose of using parallel currencies is to maintain the G/L accounts in different

currencies. The companies which have subsidiaries in different countries use parallel currencies to

update the foreign business transactions in different foreign currencies (parallel currencies).

We can use various currency types for the parallel currencies such as Group currency, Global Company

currency, Index based currency and Hard currency.

The purpose of using parallel currencies in Asset accounting is to maintain the fixed asset values such asAPC and Depreciation in different currencies.

1. Define Currencies for leading ledger: (OB22)SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Financial Accounting Global settings--> Ledgers--> Ledger-->Define currencies for

Leading ledgerHere you define the additional currencies that you want to use

2. Define Depreciation Areas:SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Asset accounting-->Valuation-->Depreciation Areas-->Define Depreciation Areas

Depreciation areas 1, 2 and 3 i.e. Book Depreciation, Special tax Depreciation and Derived Depreciation are already

defined in the system. Just select 0, Area do not postfor Depreciation area 2

3. Define Depreciation Areas for Parallel Currencies:

We should always copy the depreciation areas from the real depreciation area when creating depreciation

areas for the parallel currencies. Since, we are using two parallel currencies i.e EUR and USD. We

should define two depreciation areas for parallel currencies for each of the depreciation areas. i.e we

4. Specify Area Type: (OADC)

Here you specify the purpose of the depreciation area i.e. for what type of valuation you want to use the depreciation

area.

5. Specify Transfer of APC values: (OABC)Here we specify how the APC values will be transferred to the depreciation areas. For example if you

want to show the APC values of a depreciation in foreign currency then you should use the the local

currency values as basis, that means for depreciation areas in foreign currency you should use book

depreciation as the base. We should also mark the depreciation areas in foreign currency as identical so

that the values from the transferring depreciaiton area are transferred without any changes.

6. Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms: (OABD)Here we specify the transfer rules for the transfer of deprecation terms to the depreciation areas.

7. Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currency: (OAYH)SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Asset accounting-->Currencies-->Define Depreciation areas for Foreign Currencies

Here we assign foreign currencies for depreciation areas in which we want to them to be valuated.
