CO Postings to Parallel Ledger

We are on ECC 6.0 and when we make an entry in SAP to Z2 and Z3 ledger(Z2 and Z3 are parallel ledger and 0L is leading ledger) without any CO object, the system does not issue ant message: KI 235 is issued ("Account & requires a cost accounting-relevant account assignment") or KI 351?
Could you please advice and help further on this?

Hi,
Thanks for this SAP Note.It has helped me understand the issue.
I have also found some additoonal SAP Notes for users to Trasfer data from parallel Ledger to CO in case it is required:

Managerial postings from parallel ledger to CO

hello experts
my client is using parallel ledger to post some managerial postings (for example, depreciations calculated with diferent approaches), and they want these postings in CO, to consider them in CO assessments.
As parallel legder postings are not considered in CO, do You have a suggestion On how can i make them go to CO?
if i use special ledger instead of general ledger i can make the assessments, but they also wont go to CO, right?
maybe i can make BW read both CO and special ledger assessments.
Do you have any other solutions to share?
kind regards
mayumi

Dos anybody knows what is the result of the application of notes 804753 and 932045?
I mean, I need to make assessments in CO for postings from parallel ledgers, the same way I do to the postings from leading ledgers.
After that, I will treat this information and discard leading ledger postings from some GL accounts.
does anybody has ever worked with this scenario?
kind regards

Parallel ledger - activation

Hello,
we have new General Ledger (ECC 5.0) for two years. During this year we decided to use paralel ledger for IAS / IFRS purposes from 1.1.2007 backwards.
We have activated the additional parallel ledger according to SAP documentation. Now we need the balances and open items for all accounts, but we can´t find the way. In customizing are the tools which ask for migration plan. The migration plan is possible to create only for data migration from classic GL into new GL. We tried to find some solution within OSS, but notes describe the problems which appear during data migration from classic to new GL.
I would like to ask you if it is possible to create parallel ledger during the year ? How we can fill new parallel ledger with balances of accounts from previous year and periods for year 2007?
Has anybody with this any experience or do you have any new documentation ?
thanks in advance

Paralle ledger activation in the middle of the year is very dangerous for the previously posted open items.
At the time of clearing system try to post the entries in the parallel ledgers. But parallel ledger not available in the previous postings.
It will result adverse results in most of the transactions.Please check and take necessary action

Parallel currency and Parallel ledger activation

Dear all,
In one of our client places, they have done the parallel currency and parallel ledger activation in the middle that is after 1 month of go live. Because of this they are not able to clear the already posted documents. When they try to clear, all the documents are going to dump. Please suggest what has to be done.
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,

Post Accounting Entries only in Parallel Ledger

Hi All,
I am activating Parallel Ledger (Parallel Currency: USD) in a SAP system which has already gone "LIVE".
In our data conversion exericise, migration GL accounts will be created where all USD translation differences that arise will remain in these migration GL accounts.
Thus I would like to ask if there is any transaction T-Code where I can clear the USD translation difference amount sitting in the migration GL accounts,i.e. to post only in the Parallel Ledger without creating postings in the General Ledger (Leading Ledger).
Thank you for your time!!

Hi Sunil!
Thank you for the prompt feeback!
F-05 is very useful. But I can't seem to find a T-Code with FB50L.
Are we looking at FB50? If it is FB50, where can I determine in the document entry the Ledger Im posting to. By the way Im using SAP 4.7.

Double Posting in Parallel Ledger

Hello Gurus
We have Non-US company codes and have various depreciation areas assigned to it. Area 01 is main assigned to leading ledger 0L and area 30 is USGAAP assigned to L1 ( parallel Ledger). Area 01 Post real time and Area 30 is "Area post APC Directly and Depreciation.
Everything was working fine. Area 01 and L1 were getting correct postings. Recently due to client requirement for treatment of their Composite assets, we make certain adjustments in area 30 and area 01 differently. Like area 01 does not get any posting and area 30 get some adjustment posting and we do through Z transaction types. To achieve this we had to run periodic posting and thus assigned ZA document type to company codes of Mexico.
With this what is now happening is
When we post 10000 MXN to asset, Area 01 gets 10000 but area 30 which is L1 gets 20000.
To resolve this issue we tried various options like, If we
Assign Area post depreciation only to area 30 then it works fine but then our treatment of composite does not work
If we assign area post APC and depreciation on periodic basis, then it again doubles but doubles when we run ASKBN.
Please advise. It is real serious issue here.
Thanks

Hi Jean,
now I am astonished. Ok, I do not know your Support tickets, and I don´t know which bad OSS notes you mean. But your statement that you always get double postings is not correct if you follow the guideline how to set up your scenario with 2 different ledger (groups).
The documentation can be found in the SAP Help Portal here: Parallel Accounting in Asset Accounting .
There you find the link to the chapter "Parallel Ledgers in Asset Accounting", which contains detailed information and configuration steps to fulfill this requirement.
If you want to post 2 areas to G/L to different ledger groups, then the official SAP proposal is to use the so called "Ledger Scenario". In that scenario your alternative valuation does only post depreciation to G/L, so that you do not get double postings. If you have valuation differences, which appear automatically through different APC amounts or different value adjustments at retirement, then a derived depreciation area will post these differences ledger specific to your alternative valuation.
I admit that this scenario is not the most convenient, but it will provide the full functionality of parallel valuation at ledger (group) level.
The only real big limitation existing is that you can not really use different fiscal year variants within the valuation areas. But the basic requirement under which this thread was opened should work without problems.

Markus

Parallel Ledger Depreciation area

Dear all,
I have 2 depreaciation areas one for local GAAP and other for IFRS . The amount to be capitalised will be differenent in each area in some circumtances.
In ECC 6.0 the parallel ledger book value area will take APC values from book value area 01.
I created a separate do type AP with external numbering, ut unable ti hit the parallel area with direct postings.
For ex; amount to be capitalised in area 01 is 10000 whereas it is 12000 in area 32 , parallel book value area.
Could anyone please suggest how to go about this?
Thanks,
vamsi

Hi Mamta,
Thanks for the reply. I have done all the necessary config settings like creation of parallel depn areas and a separate doc type for ledger entry view etc.
Now my question how do I post the additions / adjustments in book value only to Parallel ledger area.
For ex: area 01- book depn
area 30- parallel depn area
area 60 - delata for 30 and 01
create a new doc type called Zafor entry view
Intilly booked book value fo 1200 in all ledgers. But in area 60 i.e parallel ledger book value area I need to capitalise an additional amount of 200. How do I do this? what is the T.code , is it ASKb?
I need to post an amount to the asset only in parallel ledger. i we use FB01L system doesnt allow you to do subledger postings.
hope I am clear with my question.
Thanks,
Vamsi

New GL-Parallel Ledger

The client I work for uses SPL to address statutory reporting needs of multiple countries and through multiple user exits we handle filtering of some postings in to these ledgers and/or create additional statutory specific postings. Also, in SPL, it lets us handle filtering of some postings that originates in other modules like MM/SD/Asset accounting
But, with NGL/parallel ledger, any posting that post lead ledger gets posted to parallel ledger and there is no standard functionality for filtering the postings for parallel ledgers specially the ones from other modules like mm/sd/asset etc.
However, because statutory needs are different in each country, we need the flexibity.
Does anyone have idea how to handle this
Regards
Jyoti

As of my experience i know that if u post to the one specifice Ledger like Leading ledger it will update only to that ledger only.
Until unless u have the different ledgers in different ledger groups u can not post to the different ledgers at a time.
A posting can happen to the multiple ledgers which are grouped to the Ledger group.
This is the essence of the Parallel ledgers and Ledger Group concept.
Coming to your issue, You can categrize the different ledgers accordingly the need of the client and make sure the different ledger groups were selected properly when they are posting the entries.
By this way you can eliminate the entries in different ledgers or do filtering.
Hope it helps .... assign points if useful...

ECC6-Parallel Ledger Clarification

Hi,
We have activated the parallel ledger.
The user wants to post a vendor/customer transactions to a single ledger ie either to parallel ledger or to the leading ledger thru the trans code: FB01L, but at the time of posting there is a error message
" Postings to ledger 0L not permitted with account type D
Diagnosis
Posting to account D with account type must be made in all ledgers of the company code".
Can anyone please clarify to me whether this is standard settings of SAP where vendor/customer trans cannot be posted to a single ledger?
Points would be rewarded.
Thanks
Suresh

Dear SAp,
This is logical that the vendor / customer should not be posted only in one ledger.
Only GL accounts can be posted to only in one ledger for adjustment purposes
This is standard
Assign points if useful

How to correct an acquisition posting in an parallel ledger

Hello,
I have the following situation:
We are using New GL concept and have setup one parallel ledger (16)
We have setup two depreciation areas, one pointing to the 0L, the other one to parallel ledger
During vendor posting of an asset the capitalisation is done in both ledgers posting to the capex balance sheet account (standard behavior). For reasons the customer wants to redraw the capitalisation but only in the parallel ledger, he wants to post it as costs ( P&L account)instead of the balance sheet account.
Whats the best approach here?
Many thanks

Hi You Need to define following settings:
Assign Depreciation Area to your Parallel Ledger i.e. Non Leading Ledger
SPRO>IMGFinancial Accounting (New)> Asset Accounting> Valuation>Depreciation Areas>Define Depreciation Areas
The GL Column will be 3 and Target Grp will be 16 in your case
Now Create a new Transaction Type which will be copy of your 101 and restrict this Transaction type for your Depreciation Area whihc is specific to your non leading ledger.
Now post ABSO and ASKBN
Please let me know if you face any issues.

Vivek

Document No. in parallel Ledger

Hi,
We use parallel ledger in TRM and create two valuation area 001 and 002 for IGAAP and IFRS. We Initialization of Parallel ledger.
We post both valuation area for accounting but system pickup diff. number range as per valuation area. My document type same use TR for accounting.
How to use same number range and same number generate in both valuation area?
Regards,
Vishal Patel

Hi,
what is the intention for having 1:1 document numbers in different Valuation Areas? Imagine, it is very likely, that you have different number of flows (e.g. having only FX-valuation in VA 001 but FX & Title-valuation in VA 002) which - as a consequence - results in a deviation of document-# in FI.
As you have a drilldown-possibility into FI in TPM13 & TPM20, in my eyes there is no real need (...and in praxis no real chance) to keep posting documents 1:1 across VAs.

Parallel ledger with values for past period

hi
we are creating addl ledgers with different fiscal year variant
is it possible for me to fill up this ledger with values for a past period?
my fiscal year variant is V3 April - March, however I need the parallel ledger for calender year Fiscal Yr Variant K4.
Going live with this in april is it possible to populate this ledger with values for jan-march period
regards
sameer

HI,
I am not sure if it is helpful but what you can do is to define an asset movement type limited to a valuation area, which allows you to post for example acquisitions only in on valuation area, but not in the other one.
Thus you can post ABSO with one asset movement type for one valuation area (APC-value X) for another valuation area use another movement type and post APC value Y.
Anyway the difference of the APC value (thats not ativated) needs to be posted to an P&L account.
Maybe there are other/better suggestions from other people.
Best regards, Christian

Group currency USD - Leading ledger
Local currency INR - Non leading ledger.
2. Where do we maintain the posting period variant for leading and non leading ledgers
3. How to select the ledger at document entry. I do not see any field in FB50/FB60/FB70 or F-02.
4. And finally how to view the GL balances for leading and non leading ledger. When I run the report S_PL0_86000030 I get the messgae no report is selected for both ledgers.
But when I post the entry is being converted to group currrency mentioned for leading ledger.
Your help will be much appreciated
