Parallel currencies in Asset

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
