Parallel depreciation area not posted when trying to settle an order.

Question

Hi,
We have requirement of using parallel currencies in one of the cocode.So I havee set up parallel currencies in AA as well.
We have three currencies EUR as Local currency, USD as Group Currency and CHF as Index-based Curremcy.
I have set up Depreciation areas
01 Book depreciation areau2014posts in real timeu2014leading ledger 0L
02 Book depreciation area for CHFu2014posts Dep only u2013Z1 european ledger
10u2014Statutory Depreciation areau2014Do not post
19u2014Derived Dep area (01-10)
29u2014Dervied dep area (02-01) Posts APC onlyu2014Z1 european leading ledger
30-Consolidated Balancesheet in local currencyu2014do not post
31u2014consolidated balance sheet in group currencyu2014do not post
32u2014Book dep in Group currency u2013do not post--assigned USD in OABT
42-Book dep in Group currency-do not post --assigned CHF in OABT
I have selected Indentical and TTr check box for dep areas 02,31,32, & 42.
I have done the consistency check and it shows no errors in depreciation area set up.
When Trying to settle an internal order in KO88 to a fixed asset I am getting the below error message.
*Data inconsistency: Parallel depr. area is not posted Message no. AAPO104*
Diagnosis
For chart of depreciation ZCH, you defined this area (or these areas) as parallel depreciation areas for depreciation area 01. In the current transaction, however, not all of these areas are posted. This is not allowed.
Procedure
Check if the transaction type is limited to certain depreciation areas. If there is such a limitation, add the missing depreciation areas for the transaction type.
Check if the asset that is being posted manages all these depreciation areas.
I have checked the transaction types and they are not limited to any depreciation areas. I have activated depreciatio areas in the asset class and maintained the account determination nad assigned g/l accounts.
Please help me if I have missed any settings.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
AAPO104 is generally a customizing error:  the check points to consider are generally the following regarding parallel currencies: I think you have checked most of them already...
* The parall. dep. area must have the same settings as the original area (e.g. allowing APC).
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical values take over.
* The parall. dep. area must set for identical parameter take over.
* The parall. dep. area must be assigned to the currency type which is defined as parallel in FI in trx. OB22 (e.g. 30).
* The parall. dep. area must be activated in the asset class (transaction OAYZ)
Furthermore, a problem can also be that in OABT you have a parallel area customized, taking value from another area, which is customized and seen in T093. If for example this parall.area is missing on your Asset Under Construction but is there on the final asset this obviously will create the error AAPO104, too.
In any case check your settings are correct in regards to parallel depreciation areas. They must manage same values as original areas. If they don't it cannot be a parallel area.
Maybe you also need to consider the information in SAP note 317806.
Also, looking at your different depreciation areas above, it looks that you have set up a ledger scenario (areas 01 , 02 and 29). I wonder, do you have a correct set up for the parallel currency for your ledger scenario? If I am not mistaken, I don't see a derived parallel currency area. Could this be the problem?
