Posting in Local ledger on different G/L accounts

Question

I have set up the following depreciation area in OADB
1 US GAAP                                                                          real   G/L 1 ledger 0L     
2 LC Statutory GAAP                                                     real  G/L 3 ledger L1
3 Difference  US GAAP u2013 LC Statutory GAAP (01-02)             G/L 6  ledger L1
Area 3  is defined as Derived Depreciation Area As Real Area
Area 2 post only depreciation
With this setting it is possible to assign different G/L accounts for aquasition in AREA 2.  But during the posting the system don't look to it  and is using the g/l accounts from area 1
I have seen in other message that this is the correct setting to avoid forget dubble postings in the local Ledger
Is it possible and how is to set-up to use different G/L accounts for US and Local GAAP

Answer 1

Hi Paul, I had exactly the same problem and have the same setting and I even posted a message here, but nobody replied.
I couldn't find any solution to this, it looks like for the Ledger Approach will always use the same GL Accounts.
I just designed a workaround with the users, where basically after any acquisition that should use different GL Accounts (certain Assets Classes), we wipe out Area 2 (in your case) with a special transaction type that hits only that Area, then we create a new Assets in the rigth Asset Class and put the values back in Area 2, with another special transaction type.
I'll follow up this thread in case someone finds a solution.
Good luck.
