Managing Parallel Currencies in Parallel Ledgers

Dear colleagues,
We use all three parallel currencies for the leading ledger in our project (we deal with SAP ERP ECC 6.0 with new ledger). And now we have to get one more valuation (4-th) in order to manage accounting in averaged rate of exchange. We were going to set a non-leading ledger with proper currency/valuation. But the point is that in accordance with sap documentation we can only specify the parallel local currencies specified in the leading ledger as parallel currencies in the non-leading ledgers. Alternative currencies are not possible.
In this way Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) seems more probable to solve our problem. But it is said that sap is not going to support FI-SL at some time in the future. Perhaps, you faced up a similar problem or you have some experience in this way or any idea will be much appreciate.
Thank you in advance,
Elena

Hi Elena,
It is possible in the future that the don't support FI-SL, but in 98 the say the same about BA that you have to use profit center accounting for the same reason that they don't want to support thisi in the futer (it is still there), the same is with CO-PA that this will be replaced in BW. But there a lot of (large) customers who are using this.
When SAP don't support FI-SL) longer then have to give an other solution. Perhaps BW? (transfer your data to BW and recalulated it there based on exchange rate). You can use this as option to!!!!!
Think about the concept R3 is only for tranaction data and BW for reporting

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

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.

Debojit Dey.

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.

How to manage parallel processing for queue JMS/MDB?

Hello, we are developing a system in WebLogic Server 10g (10.3.0) that contains multiple JMS queues associated with each in an MDB. We need know how manage the parallelism of the message for each queue? for example:
Queue 1: up to 4 messages in parallel
Queue 2: up to 2 messages in parallel
Queue 3: up to 5 messages in parallel
Can also perform this configuration from the WebLogic Server Admin Console?
Thank you very much,
Lucas.

Thanks a lot Tom for the reply, I have read about the descriptor setting 'max-beans-in-free-pool' and I searched this concept at the Administration Console without success.
I suppose other way is create a “Session Pools” under the JMSServer, and then create a “Consumer” and define the setting “Messages Maximum”. One of the disadvantages is that “Session Pools” don’t support JTA, from the documentation:
+Session pools enable an application to process messages concurrently. Session pools are now used rarely, as they are not a required part of the J2EE specification, do not support JTA user transactions, and are largely superseded by message-driven beans (MDBs), which are a required part of the J2EE specification.+
I continue reading the MDB chapter of the performance and tuning guide in the documentation, thanks for any contribution to the topic.

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

Parallel Ledgers - different posting variants - document posting

Hi Experts,
In our scenario, we have one Leading & one Non-leading ledger and both the ledgers have same Fiscal year varaint but different posting period varaint.
1. If we close the Posting period variant for the non-leading ledger and keep the PPV open for that of the leading ledger, and if we post an entry to all ledgers (i.e. without specifying any ledger group) will the entry get posted to the Non-leading ledger as well, even if the PPV for the same is closed?
I found that the system still posts the entry to the Non-leading ledger even if the PPV for the NL ledger is closed. The PPV specifically assigned to the Non-leading leadger only holds good when the entry is specifically post to that ledger or to the ledger group in which it is a representative ledger.
Can some one please suggest and give your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
M

Can you please indicate what your requirement is ?? You should be aware through Posting Keys, you can define whether it relates to a Customer, Vendor, G/L Account or Material and not for document type.
thanks

Batch Management - Parallel Operation of 2 instances

Dear All
We have a scenario wherein we will be one country on ECC 6.0 and another country 4.7 and we will be moving batches between these countries.
Before the new country goes live on ECC 6.0, what key areas of batch management should we look at and ensure these areas are secured.
Regards
TOM

Jurgen
Let us assume 4.7 no range is 1 - 100 and current no is 15. Assuming 5 batches are produced every month, for 6 months (4.7 will move to ECC by that time), the no range consumed will be 30. This means i will reach batch no 45 at the end of 6 months.
I set the no range in ECC as 500 - 10000
Does the below proposal sounds good?
I will have one external and one internal no range in 4.7 and ECC as below.
4.7
Internal 1 - 100
External 500 - 10000
ECC 6.0
Internal 500 - 10000
External 1 - 100
Now i want to create some intelligence so that in ECC 6.0 when i receive a batch from 4.7 i should create batch via external batch no range and vice versa. Is this possible?
Regards
TOM

Leading Ledger: Any postings to this ledger will update all your parlell ledgers.
Non-Leading Ledger: If you do not want to post the transaction to Leading and only to Non-Leading ledger, Use TCODE FB50L.

Parallel currencies in Asset

Hello
In our case Legal valuation & Profit Centre valuations are active with currency INR. In the Depreciation areas for Asset account, I have copied reference 0IN and I have kept two depreciation areas 01 (book) & 15 (tax). However, while trying to post in Asset accounting, system is giving error:
" Company code 1000 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 12 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01."
I am not able to get which depreciation area I should maintain for this in the Chart of Depreciation. Please help me.

Hello,
You got the error message AC496 because your company code is defined with additional local currency(ies) in FI (see table T001A).
As the message AC496 states, in this case 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 12 and the currency.
Asset Accounting > Valuation > Currencies > Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies
Check if the Chart of Depreciation (which is assigned to your company code) has no depreciation area which is assigned to another currency type.
Make sure that the 'idetical' flag has been on for your specific depreciation area.
T093A like it should be, when depreciation area XX should be the parallel depreciation area:
AFABE WRTAFB PARAFB XWRTID XINDID AFARFO XUMHIS CURTP
01     00     00                                               ZZZZ
15     01     00                                               ZZZZ
XX    01     01          X      X                           ZZZZ   X                 12
You need definetely one area with currency type 12.
Otherwise you cannot post anything to asset books.
Best regards Bernhard

Parallel Currency Depreciation Areas.

Hi,
I have activated parallel currencies (Hard Currency - EUR & Indexed Based - USD) concept to my company code. I am trying to settle WBS, that time I am getting error message "Company code XXXX 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 EUR.

For the above error how to create dependent depreciation area and attaching to currency type EUR".
Help is needed very urgent.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Hi,
Normally when you activated parallel currencies, then you should have minimum 2 depreciation area. First is Book Depreciation , and the second is "Group Currency" Depreciation.
You can define depreciation Area for "Group Currency" in :
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Define Depreciation Area
Then you should Specify Area Type in t-code : OADC. Set "Typ"= 6 (group Valuation) for the "Group Currency" depreciation area.
Then Specify Transfer of APC Values in t-code : OABC , fill "ValAd"= 01 and tick column "Identical" for "Group Currency" Area.
Do the same thing in t-code : OABD.
Then You should define currency for those depreciation area in t-code : OAYH.
Last, you should Specify the use of parallel currencies in :
SPRO=> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Currency ->Specify the use of parallel currencies .
For "Group Currency" Depreciation area , Fill following :
"Currency Type" = 30 Group Currency
Tick "IdAPC"
"Ttr" = 1 book depreciation
Tick "Indnt Trn"
Hope It can help.
