Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts & what is the use?

Hi FI Experts,
Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts, what is the precise use of two?
I know the retained earnings account is used to carry forward the balances during the year end to the balance sheet and there by making the p&L A/cs balances as zero.
I guess the second one is used for different valueations for example  as depreciation accounts for different valuations will have different retained earnings accounts.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong and eloborate on the use having more than one retained earnings accounts.
with regards
Ramesh Y

Hi,
Well, separate retained earnings accounts are used for parallel financial reporting, it means when you need to report in accordance with, for example, local GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP at the same time. Several retained earnings accounts  are necessary when the company chooses account based approach for parallel reporting. (GL accounts are broken down into several groups, for example you use different accounts for IFRS valuation, for local GAAP and they are also shared accounts common for both principles.)

  • Why does it need more than one click to follow a link on my friend's laptop?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/824689]</blockquote><br>
    I sometimes uses my friend's laptop when in room.
    but when I use the laptop, I always have to click numerous times before it follows the clicked link.
    On facebook, google, yahoo.. just everything as long as it is a web page.
    But it does not happened when I use my pc in the office. so it must be the laptop..
    any setting needed? I tried to reinstall FF 3.6.15 and windows xp professional sp.2 but nothing solve the problem.
    Like following the email confirmation link from this forum as I register, I need to open and close new tab more than 7x before it says 'email confirmed'.
    Please help...

    It isn't, something has gone awry. Hold the power button for about 10 seconds to perform a forced shutdown. Then restart as normal. When you turn to the System Preferences, Users and Groups tab you will probably find that the account was deleted. But it may not be. If you chose the option to delete the user's folder, make sure that it is indeed deleted. It will probably be a good idea to start in recovery mode - restart holding the command R key - and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive, just in case.

    Now we need one category for "plant" and other category  for "month", Data is qty.

    Hello Bill,
    could you explain bit more about your requirement? How would you like the graph to be renderded with two categories. Can't you club Plant and Month into one single category (1000-201101) and display it?

  • More than one address book account

    Does anyone know if its possible to have more than one address book account.
    I have two e-mail addresses, one work and one personal and I want to use address book for my contacts. Is it possible to keep these two lists of contacts separate in Address Book on a mac and if so how.
    The problem is I sometimes have to export my business address book and don't want to send personal contacts.
    Does anyone have a solution??

    You could always create 2 groups in address book, one for business and one for personal. You will then have an "all contacts" list which will have them mixed, but you can also view by group, which will show just business or just personal. When you need to export, just export the business group.

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

  • Can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.

  • Assigning more than one G/L accounts to WRX

    Hi!
    I want to assign more than one G/L accounts to WRX, I knew that it can be done through general modification. I have defined like below:

    Modification        Modification
    IN     I01     240940000
    IN     I02     240940001
    IN     I03     240940002
    IN     I04     240940003
    IN     I05     240940004
    IN     I06     240940005

    IN     I10     240940009
    IN     I11     240940010
    But i don't know how to assign these general modification to valuation class/movement types based on which GR/IR account has to be selected.
    please guide me..

  • HT1206 I have a computer with 2 users and each of us have I tunes authorized but only one of us can cloud sync our purchases what can I do I need more than one ID available

    Help please I need to have more than one Itunes Id

    Well you need to understand the behavior of h-reap or what it's called now, FlexConnect. In this mode, the clients are still remembers on the WLC until the session timer/idle timer expires. So switching between SSID's in h-reap will not be the same when switching when the AP's are in local mode.
    Take a look at the client when connected in FlexConnect in the WLC GUI monitor tab. Thus will show you what ssid and vlan the client is on. Now switch to a different ssid and compare this. It's probably the same because the client has not timed out. Now go back to the other ssid and look again. Now on the WLC, remove or delete the client and then switch to the other ssid at the same time. Or switch SSID's and then remove the client. The client will join the new ssid and in the monitor tab, you should see the info.
    There is no need to have clients have multiple SSID's unless your testing. Devices should only have one ssid profile configured to eliminate any connectivity issues from the device wanting to switch SSID's.
