Parallel Ledger Depreciation area

Dear all,
I have 2 depreaciation areas one for local GAAP and other for IFRS . The amount to be capitalised will be differenent in each area in some circumtances.
In ECC 6.0 the parallel ledger book value area will take APC values from book value area 01.
I created a separate do type AP with external numbering, ut unable ti hit the parallel area with direct postings.
For ex; amount to be capitalised in area 01 is 10000 whereas it is 12000 in area 32 , parallel book value area.
Could anyone please suggest how to go about this?
Thanks,
vamsi

Hi Mamta,
Thanks for the reply. I have done all the necessary config settings like creation of parallel depn areas and a separate doc type for ledger entry view etc.
Now my question how do I post the additions / adjustments in book value only to Parallel ledger area.
For ex: area 01- book depn
area 30- parallel depn area
area 60 - delata for 30 and 01
create a new doc type called Zafor entry view
Intilly booked book value fo 1200 in all ledgers. But in area 60 i.e parallel ledger book value area I need to capitalise an additional amount of 200. How do I do this? what is the T.code , is it ASKb?
I need to post an amount to the asset only in parallel ledger. i we use FB01L system doesnt allow you to do subledger postings.
hope I am clear with my question.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Copy parallel currency depreciation area

Hi Gurus,
We are migrating to New GL. As a part of this, I am creating 4 new depreciation areas (one for LC1 in non-leading ledger - 61, One for LC2 (GC) in non-leading ledger - 71 and the other two for delta between 01 - 61, and 31-71). I have marked 71 depreciation area as identical and adopting values from 61. I want to copy the values from the existing group currency depreciation area(31) into 71 as I want 71 to be a replica of 31 and I do not want the system to again convert the LC1 into GC using historical rates and I want to avoid writing an LSMW as they are lots of assets. Can someone advice how I can copy over dep area 31 to 71 using AFBN. System does not allow 71 to reference 31 in OABC for take over of same values. Thanks.

Hi,
For a correct and simple parallel valuation scenario, please review SAP Note 1433535 which provides the necessary instruction how to create a ledger scenario, including parallel currency areas.
(For posting indicators and their meaning you can check KBA 1572318).
Please verify in your system and take into account the following information regarding ledger scenario logic: also, please refer to the standard ledger scenario logic documentation.
In short, this is a basic configuration of depreciation areas and posting indicators in asset transaction OADB:
                                         Posting to G/L         Ledger
Area 01 HGB                    1                             0L
Area XX IAS                     3                             1L (your ledger code)
Area YY (IAS - HGB)        6                             1L (your ledger code)
Same setup is valid for the other ledgers that you may have.
You should also beware that according to the ledger scenario logic: Acquisiton/transfer/retirement postings in area 01 go to ALL ledgers, independently of the setting in OADB (this is not an error).
The difference is posted through the derived area.
Here I list again the 3 most relevant SAP Notes listed in regard to creating a ledger scenario:
1433535    Parallel valuation: Ledger approach
1594311    Duplicate posting in non-leading ledger when APC tr
1572318    Meaning of field "Posting in G/L" in transaction OADB
Hope this helps you.
Best regards,
Brigitte

Error in ASKB after creating parallel & delta depreciation area

Hi All,
We have APC and depreciation values in Area 1 for an Asset. Now I have created parallel depreciation area 70 and delta depreciation area 90. area 70 posting to parallel ledger. As soon as I created area 90, the following values are showing in AW01N
01 - Dep Area
APC - $45000
Depreciation - 1500
70 - Depr Area
APC - Null
Depreciation - Null
90 - Dep Area
APC - $45000
Depreciation - 1500
So when I run ASKB it gives me an error saying 'Balancing field in Profit center in line item 001 not filled'. The ledger group it is trying to post is the non-leading ledger.
Can you please help.

Hi Murali & Vinod,
Thanks for your replies. The document splitting settings are fine. It was the issue corss-system depreciation are settings. The client had activated area 70 for an Asset in one company code, but did not have it in the transferred Asset in the other company code. It was an intercompany transfer. We fixed this activating area 70 and now it is ok.
Now the problem is after I run ASKB, and check ABST2, the reconciliation report shows a line item with
Account : 1XXXXXX (Accum. Depr A/c)
Ledger : 3G (non leading ledger)
Period : 999
2ndLCGL :example 1000
2ndLC in AA: 0
2ndLC Delta : 1000
3rdLCGL :example 1000
3rdLC in AA: 0
3rdLC Delta : 1000
Leading ledger postings reconcile properly. Non leading ledger APC values in all 3 currencies reconcile properly. Only for Depr A/c in non-leading ledger it is not posting to LC2 and LC3.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Panneer

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. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01"
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.

Non-leading ledger depreciation area posting depreciation expense at current exchange rate - need to be historical

Hi all,
We are facing an issue where we have a depreciation area "02" posting to our non-leading ledger. It is set to post depreciation only.
I noticed the depreciation expense is hitting the non-leading ledger and translating (CAD) into group currency (USD) at the current exchange rate. But in the leading ledger, the rate is historical.
How can we have the non-leading ledger post at historical exchange rates for depreciation postings?
thx..

Hi Jay,
Check the exchange rate type & translation date maintained for the non leading ledger in OB22.

Double Posting in Parallel Ledger

Hello Gurus
We have Non-US company codes and have various depreciation areas assigned to it. Area 01 is main assigned to leading ledger 0L and area 30 is USGAAP assigned to L1 ( parallel Ledger). Area 01 Post real time and Area 30 is "Area post APC Directly and Depreciation.
Everything was working fine. Area 01 and L1 were getting correct postings. Recently due to client requirement for treatment of their Composite assets, we make certain adjustments in area 30 and area 01 differently. Like area 01 does not get any posting and area 30 get some adjustment posting and we do through Z transaction types. To achieve this we had to run periodic posting and thus assigned ZA document type to company codes of Mexico.
With this what is now happening is
When we post 10000 MXN to asset, Area 01 gets 10000 but area 30 which is L1 gets 20000.
To resolve this issue we tried various options like, If we
Assign Area post depreciation only to area 30 then it works fine but then our treatment of composite does not work
If we assign area post APC and depreciation on periodic basis, then it again doubles but doubles when we run ASKBN.
Please advise. It is real serious issue here.
Thanks

Hi Jean,
now I am astonished. Ok, I do not know your Support tickets, and I don´t know which bad OSS notes you mean. But your statement that you always get double postings is not correct if you follow the guideline how to set up your scenario with 2 different ledger (groups).
The documentation can be found in the SAP Help Portal here: Parallel Accounting in Asset Accounting .
There you find the link to the chapter "Parallel Ledgers in Asset Accounting", which contains detailed information and configuration steps to fulfill this requirement.
If you want to post 2 areas to G/L to different ledger groups, then the official SAP proposal is to use the so called "Ledger Scenario". In that scenario your alternative valuation does only post depreciation to G/L, so that you do not get double postings. If you have valuation differences, which appear automatically through different APC amounts or different value adjustments at retirement, then a derived depreciation area will post these differences ledger specific to your alternative valuation.
I admit that this scenario is not the most convenient, but it will provide the full functionality of parallel valuation at ledger (group) level.
The only real big limitation existing is that you can not really use different fiscal year variants within the valuation areas. But the basic requirement under which this thread was opened should work without problems.

Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area.
My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
For Acquires & Additions,
Rule1:
If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
Rule2:
If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Thanks much for the help.

Creating depreciation area for non leading ledger

Hi,
I want to configurate a depreciation area for a non-leading ledger. This is my scenario:
01-Accounting area leading ledger. Group legder: 0L (on line)
02- Accounintg area non leading ledger. Group ledger N1 (Area posts APC only directly)
03-Depreciation non leading ledger. Grouo ledger N1 (Area posts depreciation only)
Is it correct to created this 2 areas for non leading ledger?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,
additionally to my colleagues:
For each additional set of accounting principles, you create one real and one derived depreciation area.
Real Depreciation Area:
1. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Asset Accounting - Valuation - Depreciation Areas -Define Depreciation Areas.
2. Assign both depreciation areas to the same ledger group.
The ledger group you assign them to is not allowed to contain the leading ledger.
3. In the Posting in G/L field, choose Area Posts Depreciation Only.
Derived Depreciation Area:
It is easiest to create the derived depreciation area using the Wizard.
4. In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), choose Asset Accounting - Valuation - Depreciation Areas - Set Up Areas for Parallel Valuation.
5. In the Posting in G/L field, choose Area Posts APC Only. Specify that this derived depreciation area represents the difference between the real depreciation area for parallel accounting and the
master depreciation area.
You do not have to set up a separate account set for these new depreciation areas. Instead you use the account set of the master depreciation area. In this scenario, you do not have to create any new accounts in the chart of accounts or in the company code. You also do not have to create a new financial statement version.
So a typical dep.area setting for a parallel ledger at you is like:
T093
AFABER ABVOR1 AFABE1 ABVOR2 AFABE2 BUHBKT LDGRP_GL
01...............................00...........................00............1.............0L
02...............................00...........................00............3.............N1
03..................+...........01............ - ............02............6.............N1

Depreciation areas posting to seperate ledger

Hi
I created two depreciation areas:
01- Companies Act
10- IFRS
I want 01 depreciation area to hit to leading ledger (0L)
I want 10 depreciation area to hit to non-leading ledger of IFRS ((IL)
Let me know where i can do setting for the same and other settings to be done for the same

Hi,
Check the documentation in the IMG: Valuation >> Depreciation area >> Set up areas for Parallel valuation
You can mention the target ledger group in Depreciation area config.

ABT1N and parallel depreciation area, receiving Asset with zero value

Hello,
This is the case, ABT1N, same Chart of Depreciation. Transfer from Company A to B.
Values are copied for Depreciation Area 01 in Company B but not for Area 90 (Parallel Depreciation Area). Zero Amounts in Area 90.
Dep Area
01     => Main Ledger 0L
90     => Parallel Ledger L1
91     => Delta 01-90
I will appreciate any idea/clue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Found it, Transfer Method in Transfer Variant should be '4' (Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas).

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
Nirmala

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?

Brigitte

Parallel curency in depreciation area

Hi expert,
I see a lot of posts concerning my problem... It helps me for one part....
With the new ledger, local and group currency are activated. So, i read from the forum that i have to create for depreciation area 01, one copy of this depreciation area with currency type 30. --> ok for depreciation area 01, it works
But the system gives me the same message for depreciation area 51 (system inconsistency), so i alsocreated a copy of it and tried to associate it the currency type 30. But it doesn't work.....
If i put the currency type 30, i have the following message:
Table TABWA is not part of the Customizing object VV_T093A_CURTPV
If i put nothing, i have the following message:
Parallel currency area (currency type 30) missing for area 51
So I'm going crazy....
Maybe didn't I create the depreciation area 51 (invesment support) as it should be? I had to create it manually as it was not in the COD of my country.
I don't know what to do ....
Could you helpme ?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris,
For parallel currency - in your system - check if 2 curriencies have been maintained or 3 curriencies have been maintained.
Path:
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide - Financial Accounting (New) - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Company Code - Parallel Currencies - Define Additional Local Currencies / or / Define Additional Local Currencies for Ledgers
Now in Asset Accounting:
Each type of real depreciation area that posts to the GL
- be it to just the leading ledger or to non-leading ledgers
and
- even if it posts periodically
you need to create/maintain extra Depreciation Areas - maintained in these parallel currencies for value.
For Example:
Wrt DA01 - for Book Area - which normally always post to GL
-> DA01 will normally be maintained in the Company Code currency
-> if you have maintained two parallel curiencies - you'll need to copy/maintain DA 30 in the second currency (group currency) as well.
-> if you have maintained two parallel curiencies - inaddition to DA 30 in the second currency (group currency), you will also need to copy/maintain DA31 in the third parallel currency (hard currency)
Wrt DA51 - For Investment Support - which may have been configured to post to GL
-> Also copy/maintain additional DAs - maintained in the additional currency/currencies.
Check the currency set-up in AA using T.Codes OABT.
Regards,
Ruchi

Fixed asset Write up Error. ABZU(Parallel depreciation area 32 is not poste

Hi Sap Gurus,
      I am running into an error when trying to post a write up via "ABZU". Here is the error message "Parallel depreciation area 32 is not posted". Message no. AA565.
Diagnosis
The asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 32, or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas, and does not contain depreciation area 32. This is incorrect.
System Response
Posting is rejected.
Procedure
Check the asset and the transaction type.
I tried "Limit Transaction Types to Depreciation Areas" in t-code:OAXE for derpeciation area 01 and 32 but still i am getting the same error. I am using ttype:700. When i look into derpeciation tab in asset master record i have depreciation area 32 is there. Is there any configuration piece i am missing. We are using area 32 as IFRS in group which is copy of 01.
Any help will be appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Babu

Hi,
There are the following reasons:
1) The wrong transaction type is being used. Please verify that you are using transaction type in the 700 series for your write-up.
2) The transaction type is restricted to certain depreciation areas.   In transaction OAXE the transaction type can be restricted to post only to certain areas. If the asset manages a parallel area you have to extend the posting to include the parallel area.
3) The asset was created before you introduced parallel currencies and does not manage the parallel area. In this case, the parallel area must be created on the asset or the values need to be transferred to a new asset that manages the parallel area.
4) Transacion types 600 and 601 can only be used for assets that have a calculation key in their depreciation area that allows no automatic calculation (for example depr key MANU). The unplanned transaction types however can be used with assets that allow automatic calculation.
You also need to verify that there are entries in Table ANLB for the asset in question for the depreciation area.
5) Your company code uses parallel currencies (currency types 10-co.code currency, 50-Index based currency, 30-Group currency...for example). The assets created in this company code must have the depreciation areas for parallel currencies active. You can only do this in activating the depreciation areas with parallel currencies for all the asset classes used in this company code.
Check transaction OAYZ to make sure the areas are activated for all asset classes in the co.code. If not, you will need to       activate these areas and ensure the asset has all areas assigned.
regards Bernhard

Creation of depreciation area for posting of parallel currencies postings

Hi Venkat,
Create a New Depreciation area with APC Values and Depn values identical to Value 01.
Then goto valuation> currencies
Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies> and assign the currency type and valuation view to the new depn area. tick the identical values
then goto
Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies> give the parallel currency against the depn area
Now try doing the transaction.
