Parallal currency area not updating

Question

HI
We have depreciation areas for 1. Grp local currency, 2. Grp foreign currency, 3. Grp US GAAP local, 4. Grp US GAAP foreign. we also have 2 derived areas which take values from the above four. (One post difference between first two and the other post difference between next two areas respectively). For some reasons system is not posting values to area 2, due to which the derived area for foreign currency is updating the difference amount, which is not correct. I have checked total config for depreciation areas totally, there is no mistake in. Please suggest.

Hello Rama-
Check your configuration once more:
1. Maintain parallel currencies in FI Customizing (Financial Accounting --> Global Settings --> Company Code --> Multiple Currencies --> Define additional local currencies )
2. Specify use of parallel currencies in (Financial Accounting --> Asset Accounting --> Valuation -->  Currencies -->Specify use of parallel currencies ) and enter your parallel currency here.
Once you maintain above settings, the values that are posted within Asset Accounting can be updated in several currencies and in the same FI document in parallel with the posted amount in local currency in financial accounting. For this, you need to manage a depreciation area with the following features for each currency:
Currency type and currency of the depreciation area are identical to the corresponding parallel currency in the company code in question.
The depreciation area must manage depreciation terms and acquisition values identical to the book depreciation area.
The system then automatically supplies the corresponding posting documents with the additional values from these depreciation areas. The areas in the foreign currency do not need to be explicitly posted to the general ledger (according to the posting settings in the definition of the depreciation area).
Hope this helps.
