Asset accounting with parallel ledgers.

Hi SAP gurus,
My client has a scenario where assets have different accounting principles, as example, buying an equipment is considered as investment in one perspective and as expense on another.
To do that we have created two depreciation areas (01 and 10), assigned to 0L - Leading Ledger and Z0 - Non-Leading Ledger. Both depreciation areas share the same GL accounts, as we can separate them by Ledgers.
All the assets acquisitions are made through PS projects, so we settle to AuC end than to Fixed Asset.
When we settle the AuC to Fixed Asset, both depreciation areas are getting APC values on both ledgers. How are we now able to "correct" this APC value just on the Leading-Ledger and transport to a cost account, so in that perspective this value is considered as expense?
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
Cristiano Monteiro

Thanks for your answer. I didn´t think about that possibility, and it´s a very good idea.
I will not use that, because I remember that I can make a manual posting via ABSO transaction with a transaction type that is limited to one depreciation area, and than with ASKB make the GL posting.
Now I´m getting a problem with this. I settle the WBS to fixed asset and the GL document is posted on both ledgers. On asset master data, the value of APC is shown also on both depreciation areas.
Now my problem is that if I run ASKB transaction it will try to post again the settlement document but only on non-leading ledger, which will duplicate the values.
How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards

Asset account with foreign currecy fluctuations

hi gurus
any body can you please provide the solution to this issue
how will we add foreign currency fluctuation losses to the asset APC value
i)what is the impact of that before dep run
ii)if we added foreign currency losses after dep run what are the implication would involve
thank you

NOrmally the Vendor or the Foreign Currency loan will be revalued and not the Fixed asset. There is no funcltionality to post the currency fluctuation to the asset.
Depreciation run condiders the base method mentioned in the depreciation key. Hence the APC value at the depreciation run will be considered, whether increased or reduced.

Parallel ledgers and currencies in Fixed Assets

Hi all,
I have a difficult scenario in Fixed asset related to parallel ledgers and parallel currencies. This is the one.
We have
Area 01-1- Loc Cur-L1
Area 06-0- Grp Cur (takes values from 01)
Area 30-3-Loc Cur-L2
Area 31-0-Grp Cur (takes values from 30)
Area 33-6- L1 This area is derived from 30-01
The issue here is that when I post for example a retirement. First with ABAVN values from area 01 are posted to every ledger. If I check the posted document and I have the values of area 01 in local currency column and the values in area 06 and in group currency column. But, when I run ASKBN to post area 33 which is the difference between 30 and 01, the local currency value is correct (30-01) but the group currency amount is not correct. This value in group currency is not 31-06, is the local value multiplied by the Exch Rate at the retirement date.
How to do to have the group currency in a derived area as the difference of the group áreas which are related to the original one (31-06 in my case)?
I hope my question is clear!!
Thanks a lot, Iu2019m complete lost.
Adela.

Dear Adela.
1 - Define Currencied for Leading Ledger Like: Group/Index what ever you want.
SPRO >> Financial Accounting (New) >> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) >>> Ledger >> Define Currencies of Leading Ledger
2 - Maintain Group Currency in Non Leading Ledgers
SPRO >> SPRO >> Financial Accounting (New) >> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) >>> Ledger Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers
3 - Assign Non Leading Ledger to your Dep Area
SPRO >> Asset Accounting >> Asset Accounting (Lean Implementation) >> Organizational Structures >> Depreciation Areas >> Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger

Parallel ledgers in ECC 6.0

Dear Friends,
We are in ECC 6.0 version and wants to configure Parallel ledger in ECC 6.0 for our client which comes under new GL accounting concept. Before configuring we need to give demo to our client including some sample entries in SAP.
I know the basic difference between parallel accounting in 4.7 with parallel ledgers in ECC 6.0 and the definition for leading and non-leading ledgers.
I only need to know the configuration part as well as front end entry and what are all the concepts involved in parallel ledgers like foreign currency valuation, asset accounting, inventory valuation etc., If you are having knowledge/worked in parallel ledgers, could you please share your knowledge so that it would be helpful for me as well as for others.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Dwarak.

hi,
ECC 6.0 New GL Functionality
1.Activate the New General Ledger Accounting by a single click on the clock icon
2.You will reach to change view "activation of New GL A/cg" detail screen and tick the checkbox and save.
3. After activation of New General Ledger Accounting, you exit the IMG screen When you re-enter , you find that a new node is added Financial Accounting (New)
4.After activation of New General Ledger Accounting , a new sub node appears in the IMG structure.
This sub node is Define Segment
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG ---> Enterprise Structure -
> Definition --> Financial Accounting --> Define Segment
In this IMG activity, you define your segments.
If you then define your profit centers, you can enter an associated segment in the master record of a profit center. The segment is then derived from the assigned profit center during posting.
5.Activation has created a new field in Profit Center Master Record : the SEGMENT
6.Leading and Non- Leading Ledgers
In General Ledger Accounting , you can use several Ledgers in parallel. This allows you to produce financial statements according to different accounting principles. A ledger uses several dimensions from the totals table it is based upon. When defining Ledgers , one must be defined as the Leading Ledger . The Leading Ledger is based on the same accounting principles as that of the consolidated financial statements. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is automatically assigned to all company codes. In each company code, the Leading Ledger receives exactly the same settings that apply to that company code : the currencies, the fiscal year variant and posting period variant .
You must designate one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger. It is not possible to designate more than one ledger as the leading ledger.
The menu path is :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
> Ledger -
> Define Ledgers for General Ledger Accounting
Clicking on the checkbox identifies one of your ledgers as the Leading Ledger.
7. Activation of Non Leading Ledgers
Non Leading Ledgers are parallel ledgers to the Leading Ledger . They can be based on local accounting principle, for example. You have to activate a non- Leading Ledger for individual company codes. Non- Leading Ledgers can have different fiscal year variants and posting period variants per company code to the Leading Ledger of this company code.
The menu path is :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
> Ledger -
> Define and Activate Non --Leading Ledgers

About asset accounting

i m working on asset report development ,and i m stuck on one point,any body plz tell me teh relation between asset accounting with internal order ,purchase order and GRR no.

typical process would be an
internal order
purchase order (with IO assignment)
place order
receive goods (GRIR)
create AUC (WIP assets)
settle IO to AUC (KO88 or KO8G)
complete AUC purchase
settle AUC to Asset (AIBU/AIAB)
post depreciation

Parallel Currency- Asset Accounting

Hi,
When I am trying to save the Purchase Order with Asset Account Assignment, it gives me following error message.
"Company code manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 30 and currency EUR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01."
I have browsed through configuration but not able to find whether to configure new area or not. Also, where we assign the currency type (Group or Hard currency) to the individual depreciation area?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
With Regards,
Chirag
Procedure

Hi All,
Please advise me in this regard, we have activated to parallel currencies one is 10 (company code currency) and the other one is 40(hard currency)and the same has been maintained for depreciation ares also,while posting asset acquisition the below error is coming this error i am facing in quality server, but the same settings was done in MAP but iam not facing any problem in MAP.
                                                                                Customizing inconsistency (contact your system administrator)
Message no. AC 496
Diagnosis
Company code 7014 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For
    each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one
    dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and
    depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to
    currency type 40 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this
    type defined for depreciation area 01.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings.
Hence requesting you all kindly advise me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

Comparison parallel ledger app. with parallel account app. in terms of IFRS

Hİ ALL,
we would like to know what is the advantages of using parallel ledger approach for transition to IFRS in SAP instead of using parallel account approach?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Currently I am making a similar review - account based versus parallel ledger. The pro's of the of parallel ledger are the con's of account based and vice versa:
Parallel ledger - Pros
- G/L accounts: fewer G/L accounts required (so opportunity to reduce SCOA), same G/L accounts are shared across all ledgers - unified reporting
- Fiscal year variant: company codes with different fiscal year variants assigned to a separate ledger, facilitating consolidated reporting
- Posting period variant: postings to ledgers can be separately controlled by assigning a separate posting period variant for the ledger
- Carry forward: no need to maintain separate retained earnings accounts per accounting principle
- Currency valuations and translations: Automated postings updated to appropriate ledgers based on the assignment to relevant accounting principles
- Adjustment and value postings: Adjustment and value postings, such as reclassification are automatically posted to the appropriate ledgers
- Standard reports: standard reports are executed by ledger
Parallel ledger - Cons
- The data volume could increase as a result ofmaintaining parallel ledgers (see SAP note 820495 for tips on resolving the issue)
- Parallel ledger is a new concept at my customer so it requires a complete revamp of system configuation, with all the impact on processes and people, all old local reports (using special ledger) will become obsolete.
Hope this helps. By the way: we have chosen to move from account-based to parallel ledger despite the implementation effort.
Best regards,
Alexander Min

Asset Creation with intermediary Asset Holding Account

Hello Gurus,
We are on ECC6.0 and SRM 7.0 , business requirement is to procure the asset from the P2P cycle and have an Asset Holding account as an intermediary account. And at Month End post the balance from the intermediary account to the main asset account after review.
Business has clear requirement to have the all posting first going from the P2P cycle to a Asset Holding account( intermediary account) and at month end review the same and than create the asset and than transfer the posting from Asset holding account to the Main asset Account.
Can you please provide inputs how do we address the same.
Thanks & Regards
Rutvij

Hi
I understand about the AUC after checking various threads on SDN.
But i am wondering is my requirement addressed
'Business has clear requirement to have the all posting first going from the P2P cycle to a Asset Holding account( intermediary account) and at month end review the same and than create the asset and than transfer the posting from Asset holding account to the Main asset Account"
So if we go with AUC , we need to create a asset number before the procurement process starts.
At the completion of the AUC once the asset is settled, for the new asset procurement business will have to create a new AUC asset number.
Hope I am able to help you in understanding the requirement.
Any inputs in this regard are helpful
Thanks & Regards
Rutvij

Question on SAP Asset Accounting

Dear Friends,
We are working on a new enhancement for our project. In this development we have to implement parallel ledger with Asset Accounting. We have already Asset Accounting implemented, and two months of depreciation already posted. The current COD is now used by 4 company codes across 4 countries.
Our Requirement.
1. We have 4 ledgers. with OL, we have US for US GAAP, and two Nonleading ledger LS, LT for Australia, Local reporting. The requirement is the Asset posting happening in Asset environment should hit all the ledgers( OL, US, LS, LT)
Solution planned - We thought to create a new COD and assign the depreciation areas with the ledger groups . BUT WE ARE NOT SURE HOW CHANGING THE COD IN THE SYSTEM IN THE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT.
2. We have another requirement. for any acquisition of Low Value Asset, we have to
For Australian reporting the entry should be
Asset A/C ....... DR
to Vendor A/C
For US reporting the same transaction entry should be
Asset Expenses A/C ........... DR
To Vendor.
Solution Planned - We planned to create two different Depreciation Area for LVA transaction and for one LVA depreciation area we will maintain Asset Account in APC account and in another LVA depreciation Area we will maintain Asset Expenses GL as APC account. BUT not sure how the system will react.
Please reply the above doubt. We are in a very critical position in our project.
Regards
Ranjan82

HI ,
For point 1
You can define depreciation area and in Integration wth GL you can define the Traget ledger group of posting for each depreciation as below screen shot
For Point 2 you can create a depreciation key with 100 % which will depreciate asset fully in same here and will book as expese . I have done this for many conutries and it works without effecting any other thing in system .
Please test these in you test system and let me know if you need more help .
many Thanks

Parallel Ledgers

Hello Gurus,
Can a few GLs in the Leading Ledger report to a Parallel Ledger?
The second question is, suppose a Company is based in India as well as has operations in USA. In India it has to comply with Indian Accounting Standards & for USA it has to come up with statements as per US GAAP.
It may be so, that USGAAP does not recognize a particular kind of expense but India Accounting Standard does.
Now, since we are having Parallel Ledgers, the same expense ought to reflect in both the places.
Is there any way, that we report the expense in the Leading ledger that is in Indian currency & followes Indian Accounting Standards, while we prevent its reporting in the Parallel Ledger for USA.
Would be very grateful for any reply.
Thanks in Anticipation.

Hi Rolf,
Thanks a lot for your helpful answer & sorry to assign your well-deserved points, late [I was out of office].
It would be very nice of you if you may answer a few clarifications to your answers.
Q: Can a few GLs in the Leading Ledger report to a Parallel Ledger?
A: You select the GLs that you only want to post to an additional ledger
> How to do that?
===========================================================
Q: Is there any way, that we report the expense in the Leading ledger that is in Indian currency & followes Indian Accounting Standards, while we prevent its reporting in the Parallel Ledger for USA.
A: You specifically choose the ledger group (customizing) when you are posting an expense that is recognized in one of your AS and not in the other. Not choosing the ledger group means that the expense is posted to all ledgers.
> When posting an expense, how & from where do you specify the Ledger Group?
Are you talking about defining seperate Document Types & specifying the ledger group for the Document Type?
You reply will be highly appreciated.
