Parallel currency after GO Live

Hi,
I am trying to create Additional Local currency USD for a company code whose local currency is CAD.
I am able to define the additional currency USD for the Canadian Co Code. So now any transaction that is posted in the Canadian Company Code AFTER this config set up can be seen in USD.
But what about the transactions that are already posted in the system before this set up. Is there any program to transfer those earlier transactions/documents to this new currency?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How did you assigned additional currency to company code. I am trying to assign additional currency at "define currencies of leading ledger". I changed currency type to Globla currency(60) but still in currency field it is CAD.
Also, after this change, business wants to show exesting transactional data in US currency, same as you want.
Thank you,
Mark

Differences in parallel currencies after settlement

Hi Everybody,
Please give me some idea, what should I do.
After the settlement of internal order, the balance of currency of the company (10-BRL) is zero, it is OK, but the problem is the balance in hard currency (40-USD) there is difference.

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,

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

Activate parallel currency in a company

I need to activate parallel currency in a company which is already in production. Anybody knows how to proceed??
thanks,
Cecilia

Hi,
Last year, I have worked on a similiar requirement. The requirement is to activate the group currency as the second currency in the system for a company which is already in the production environment. We have done quite detailed analysis to do it. Our plan was:
At one point of time before we bring the new configuration for parallel currency into production environment, temporarily make the balance of all accounts (open item, non open item) ZERO, then clear the open items, transport the configuration of parallel currency and bring back the account balances with not only at local currency level but also at group currency level. The company subject to change was a medium sized company and they agreed to only see the balances after the conversion. We shared our plan with SAP to understand if they would give support to usin any case if we face with a problem. Then they told us that that type of conversions can only be done by a special consulting team within SAP AG itself. Any change done and caused a problem in the production environment will not be supported by SAP.
As a result, instead of getting this special consultancy, we have decided to create a new company code with parallel currency activated and make it live at the beginning of the fiscal year and transfer the opening balances to the new company code.
You can contact with SAP to get more information about their conversion for a live company code. But my advise is it is not that much easy to activate this functionality when you are live. So be careful, take your time, share the company detail (which modules are in production, what is the volume of data vs.) with SAP and get their feedback.
Good luck.

Tolerance exceeded due to translation difference in parallel currency.

Hi,
I am getting the following error when transaction: ASKB -
Tolerance exceeded for differences due to currency translation
Message no. AAPO518
Diagnosis
An error occurred during translation of currency amounts into the parallel currency using currency type 40.
The document balance is 3605.07 MRL and it cannot be corrected automatically.
System Response
The document cannot be created
Please help to understand and solve the error.

Hi,
It could be that you need a derived depr. area activated as
"Derived depreciation area as real area"
Documentation:
Treat Derived Depreciation Area As Real Area
Specifies that a depreciation area that was originally defined as a
derived depreciation area is treated as a real depreciation area in
the target company code. This means that not only depreciation
differences can be posted to special depreciation reserve accounts,
but also real differences in acquisition and production costs can be
posted to balance sheet accounts.
Use
If you set this indicator, then the system posts the real difference
between two depreciation areas, if the original depreciation area was
defined as the difference between two other areas (for example,
special depreciation area 03 defined as the difference between areas
01 and 02). If the source depreciation area is not a derived
depreciation area, then the system removes the indicator during the
input check.
Please take into account that after this change on customizing,
the accounts in the account determination for this depreciation
area have to be maintained for APC accounts also.
In another scenario the reason for error AAPO518 was the use of a
non standard schema. May you check if you are using a modificatin to the
schema: for example you can check this in transaction SM43 ->
ie SM34 -> VC_T093H01. Check the transaction and to which schema
it is linked.

Activation of Parallel currency while upgradation of ECC6.0

Hi Experts,
We are useing SAP 4.7E Version along with IS OIL . SAP went Live on 01.04.2006 . Company code currency is INR . *We have not activated Parallel Currencies i.e Hard Currency or Indexed Currency .*
1. Is it possible activation of parallel currency while upgradation to ECC6.0
2. If activated , what are the complications of clearing the Past documents
Best Regards,
Lakshman

Dear,
Use transaction OY01, where going in to your country there is a field Hard Currency. Put currency here which you want it to be the hard currency.
This is customizing object which will not allow you to make changes in production instance as NO CHANGES ALLOWED is set for the client in SCC4. Better do this in development and transport it to production.

How to change company code currency after psotings have been made

Hi,
Good day! May I ask for your expert advice about changing company code currency? Is it advisable? or is it at all possible? If so, do you have a procedure for this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Peter

Dear,
no this is not advisable.when You decide to create a Company, You have to decide which kind of currency You have to use for it. This is an asset. Therefor You have to take the correct decision before going live.
Now You can think to activate a parallel currency( transaction OB22), but please have strongly a look at the note 39919.
If You strictly wants to change the currency, You could refer to SLO service into SAP Market place.
Go Service Market Place homepage or Sapnet

I hope this helps You.

Parallel currencies - alternative to local currency changeover to euro??

I would like to know if there are any alternatives to local currency changeover to euro?
Estonia will start using euro 1 January 2011 and we are helping an estonian company investigating alternativs to the euro changeover in SAP. I know that SAP has programs that can mange the conversion/changeover, but I would like to know the alternatives.
The company uses 2 parallel currencies today. The company code currency EEK (10) is the first local currency, the group currency (SEK) is the second local currency.
Is is possible to use the functionality of parallel currencies in OB22 in this case and set the EUR as hard currency (currency type 40)? Can this be done for a company already in production? Will we be able to see profit- and loss statements and balance sheets from day 1 after we have activated the new currency. Any problems with opens items?
Are the any other alternatives?
Could one stategy be to start at new company code with EUR as company code currency? I realize we have to copy the configuration and masterdata and transfer the balaces to the new company code. What other problems do you see with this alternative?
// Lotta
Edited by: Lotta Johansson on Oct 1, 2010 1:56 PM

Hi Paul,
There is no dual currency phase, I mean not in SAP (there is a mandatory dual pricing period from july 2008 to december 2009).
As of 01.01.2009, SKK will be replaced by EUR.
The swithover can be carried out as soon as the 2008 fiscal year books closing will be done in SAP.
Hope this helps.

Open production orders and outbound delivery after go-live

Hello All,
I tried to search answer for this question but could not find answer.
Could anybody suggest, what to do with open production orders and outbound delivery after go-live when WM is activated. As, after go-live WM-PP interface will be activated and system should consume material from storage bin specified in control cycle and that will happen for newly created production order after go-live,but what about existing production orders how to update production supply area against work center in production order.
Similarly with outbound delivery how to update WM status after go-live.
Thanks in advance

Thanks to both Jurgen and Sander
Regarding production order yes, one way is to re-read PP master data in production orders, but is that the only way to handle this or do we have any other option?
I was aware of re-read PP master data but it will real time consuming and also if it will problematic for already released or partially confirmed production orders.

In measurement doc.where to enter as on date counter readings after go live

Dear All,
After go live the sap system, user has to start creating the measurement document for counters which as follows.
Suppose we have go lived on 1st feb 2010, so on that day already physical counter is showing following readings.
Equipment - Counter - Current readings of meter (as on 1st feb 2010)
DG Set - Running Hours - 3000
Boiler - Running Hours - 2400
Compressor - Running Hours - 3800
Electricity meter - Units - 5800
I am little confused about in which field of measurement document i have to enter the above as on date readings (1st feb 2010).
Those fields are
Counter reading
Differnce
I am also worried, because this is start of creation of measurement document & which makes basis for counter base preventive maintainence of equipment.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi
First time reading you entre in counter reading filed, then the subsequent daily reading you can entre in counter reading field or difference.
It means, if you entre counter reading, system automatic calculate the difference (i.e current minus previous reading),
or if you entre the difference, then system bring the counter reading as difference plus previous reading.
Check these senerios in Quality and then you can take decision

Use of half months in the company code configuration after Go Live

Hi,
Our client has a requirement to activate the functionality of u201CUse of
half months in the company code configuration in Asset accounting after 3 month of Go live.
For the above purpose, we enabled the same in our Development server
(DE5) after Go Live and we are getting some Errors at the time of Asset
posting in F-90 and Asset Explore AW01N and even depreciation Run.
Already we ran 3 months depreciation without enabling this
functionality and now the client requires this in our Production server
before running the 4 period depreciation.
We are using the same Fiscal year variant (V3) at Depreciation area
level for all our company codes. All other company codes enabled this
functionality except one company code (NOPE) .
So the client requires this Half month depreciation calculation
Functionality in company code NOPE too.
Please advice to resolve this issue at the earliest and its quit urgent.We are using the same depreciation key, asset class in all company codes.
Thanks

Error details,
SYST: You cannot change the depreciation periods
Message no. AA662
Asset affected: 000016000025-0000
Diagnosis
Processing terminated because the number of depreciation periods in
company code NOPE has been changed. However, you cannot change the
number of periods in your live (productive) system.
Procedure
Change the depreciation periods back to the original value in company
code NOPE. The number of depreciation periods is determined by the
fiscal year version and the use of half-periods. At least one of these
parameters was changed.
If you want to change your system so that you can now work with half-
periods, you have to use depreciation keys with time-dependent period
control in that company code.
If you need to make general changes to the number of periods for
calculating depreciation per fiscal year, you will have to consult your
system administrator

hi
If you refer to SAP Note 2993, it is not possible to change to/from half
period. This is because the expired useful life are based on 12 periods
and the system is not able to change this to 24 periods.
To be able to change this settings under:
Asset Accounting>Valuation>Fiscal Year>Use of Half Months in the
Company Code.
Company code must be in status 2 (Test company code with data transfer)
Once you have finished your legacy data transfer you should set company
code as productive to avoid this changes.
Regarding error AA662, it occurs if you change the number of period
in the fiscal year version or the use of half-periods, after you have
already posted to assets.
The cause is a different value in field ANLB-PERFY which
is the number of periods in the fiscal year. If the number
entered here does not correspond to the number of posting periods
of the fiscal year used, the system raises error AA662 (except
for none posted areas for which ANLB-PERFY = 000 or areas
with depreciation to the date for which ANLB-PERFY = 365)
If T093C-MONMIT = 15 (half periods), ANLB-PERYF = 012 is not
correct. It should be 24.
Please note that changing the PERFY value will not be sufficient because
the expired useful life is calculated on base of PERFY. Thus PERFY has
to be adjusted and the expired useful life also.

Purchase price variance line item - not to be posted in Parallel currency

Hi All,
Scenario:
Transaction currency - SGD
Local Currency - INR
Parallel Currency 1 (LC2) - Group currency - USD
Parallel Currency 2 (LC3) - Global Company currency - INR
Import PO - MIGO - MIRO
PO is raised in foreign currency.
Material master price control is maintained in 'S'.
While doing MIGO, I am getting following accounting entries:
Stock a/c Dr.
GR/IR a/c Cr.
Price variance* a/c Dr.
*The price varaince is because of difference in my material price as per material master and PO.
If I go and check in FBL3N, I can see all the line items in Transaction, Local currency and 2 Parallel currencies.
My query is, In SAP is it possible to avoid Price variance line item posting to Parallel currencies.
To my knowledge I know that it is not possible to avoid a single line to post it to Parallel currencies.
Thanks in advance.

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Issue with Asset Managemenet (parallel Currencies)

This message is from my customer:
Capital investments are kept in Asset Managemenet (FI-AA), balances are integrated part of FI-GL, shown on respective accounts.
Within AM, multiple valuation areas exists, as an asset underly different rules, depending of it's accounting (book) value and tax value etc.
Therefore, we have one area (01) representing the book value, - which is also the GL-balance. In addition, AM keep another area (10) representing the tax value.
Finally, we have a third area representing the difference between Tax and book, (called 'delta'), and these values are posted to GL as 'more/less depreciation', enabling us to report both 'Accounting books' and 'Norwegian tax books'. This 'delta posting' is part of standard, monthly depreciation run.
We have a challenge in the case were we have USD as functional currency, in an entity registrated as Norwegian a/s.
Norwegian tax authorities require the tax values of the depreciation to be based on historical NOK-investments. Both FI-GL and FI-AA support the parallel currency
accounting, but not when it comes to the handling of the 'delta-values'. In this case, the initial investments are kept in histotical NOK in AM, and in AM the NOK-investment is depreciatied in the tax area. However, when the delta-posting is done, this is done in USD only (based on area 01 and 10), and the parallel NOK-value of this transaction is translated based on exchange rate on transaction date, NOT the historical NOK-value. The consequense of this is that the tax-books in NOK is incorrect, and there is a need to do manual adjustments, based on tiresome spreadsheet calculations.
Now: is this the only way SAP handles parallel currencies in AA/AM? No way to configure it to use historical exchange rates at all?
If this cannot be changed within SAP, has anyone else solved this kind of problem and might help me getting started?

Hello!
Does someone have answers to this:
From SAP Help:
The central procurement and processing of data for an asset takes place
in the logical database ADA in the FI-AA component. One of the functions
that is carried out in the database is currency translation. Currency
translation for a currency that is different from the company code
currency is carried out according to a translation method that you
define in FI-AA Customizing.
Where do i find this customising?
If the parameters of this standard translation method do not meet your
needs, you can define your own individual translation method using this
SAP enhancement.
Activities
Follow the procedure outlined below:
<b>
1. Activate enhancement project AMGS_001.
2. Modify function module EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001. Enter your own code in the
    included program ZXBADU03.
    When the enhancement project is active, the system uses the function
     module at the corresponding positions in the logical database.
3. Define a translation method in FI-AA Customizing (Information
      System) that uses translation date 3 (own translation).
</b>
Parameters
The following transfer parameters are available for function module
EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001:
o   I_AMOUNT (amount in local currency)
o   I_ANLAV (master data for the asset)
o   I_AFABER (depreciation area)
o   I_BERDATUM (report date)
o   I_UMVAR (translation method)
The translated amount is expected as a return value in the field
E_AMOUNT. This value is then transferred to the respective report.
This looks promissing But has anyone tried this exit, EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001?
Will it work for me?
