In Financial accounting apart from the loacal currency we can define two additional currencies for the company code. The main purpose of using parallel currencies is to maintain the G/L accounts in different currencies. The companies which have subsidiaries in different countries use parallel currencies to update the foreign business transactions in different foreign currencies (parallel currencies). We can use various currency types for the parallel currencies such as Group currency, Global Company currency, Index based currency and Hard currency. The purpose of using parallel currencies in Asset accounting is to maintain the fixed asset values such as APC and Depreciation in different currencies.
Here you define the additional currencies that you want to use
Depreciation areas 1, 2 and 3 i.e. Book Depreciation, Special tax Depreciation and Derived Depreciation are already defined in the system. Just select 0, Area do not post for Depreciation area 2 3. Define Depreciation Areas for Parallel Currencies:
We should always copy the depreciation areas from the real depreciation area when creating depreciation areas for the parallel currencies. Since, we are using two parallel currencies i.e EUR and USD. We should define two depreciation areas for parallel currencies for each of the depreciation areas. i.e we should define 1 depreciation area for USD and 1 depreciation area for EUR for both Book Depreciation area and Special tax depreciation area. Therefore we will have 4 depreciation areas for parallel currencies 2 for Book depreciation and 2 for Special tax depreciation.

In the same way create one more depreciation area for parallel currency EUR for Book Depreciation
Depreciation areas for parallel currency USD for Special Tax Depreciation
In the same way create one more depreciation area for parallel currency EUR for Special Tax depreciation
4. Specify Area Type: (OADC) Here you specify the purpose of the depreciation area i.e. for what type of valuation you want to use the depreciation area.
5. Specify Transfer of APC values: (OABC) Here we specify how the APC values will be transferred to the depreciation areas. For example if you want to show the APC values of a depreciation in foreign currency then you should use the the local currency values as basis, that means for depreciation areas in foreign currency you should use book depreciation as the base. We should also mark the depreciation areas in foreign currency as identical so that the values from the transferring depreciaiton area are transferred without any changes.

6. Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms: (OABD) Here we specify the transfer rules for the transfer of deprecation terms to the depreciation areas.
Here we assign foreign currencies for depreciation areas in which we want to them to be valuated.

Why did you include steps for the configuration of the depreciation key? That's not directly related to the setup of parallel currencies in FI-AA. Also, I'd recommend an introduction to the topic. Explain why this setup is required and what the benefit is.

Dear Sneha.. Could you advice me on my problem below ? We are using 3 depreciation area which is : - 01 Book Depreciation IDR, - 02 Tax Depreciation IDR - 99 Book Depreciation USD while IDR is our company code currency.. (local currency) we've set the asset to be capitalized from PO when we perform Invoice Receipt (MIRO) and also set the asset value date to Invoice Posting Date the question is : if we bought an asset for example 100.000 USD.. then we perform GR and IR... with rate of 9000 IDR / 1 USD we get the capitalized value in depreciation area 01 --> 100.000 USD * 9000 = 900.000.000 IDR but in depreciation area 99 we got value of (assuming todays rate is 8900 IDR / 1 USD) 900.000.000 IDR / 8900 = 101.123,59 USD differs from real value of 100.000 USD how to get the initial value of purchase 100.000 USD to enter in deprec. area 99 ? what should i do ? any idea ? thank you... Sasmito

Hi Sasmito, Please check the config in OABC (Specify transfer of APC values). You should use 01 depreciation area in valuead field and select identical check box for depreciation area 99.

hello, good presentation, I would like to know about this paragraph, Could you explain the reason of this activity? how could I distinguish a real depreciation area? is it mandatory?
"We should always copy the depreciation areas from the real depreciation area when creating depreciation areas for the parallel currencies. Since, we are using two parallel currencies i.e EUR and USD. We should define two depreciation areas for parallel currencies for each of the depreciation areas. i.e we should define 1 depreciation area for USD and 1 depreciation area for EUR for both Book Depreciation area and Special tax depreciation area. Therefore we will have 4 depreciation areas for parallel currencies 2 for Book depreciation and 2 for Special tax depreciation."

Hi Roberto, Thank you. Regarding your questions, it is mandatory to copy the depreciation areas for parallel currencies from the real depreciation area because inconsistencies will arise in transfer of APC values and depreciation terms if you dont copy from real depreciation area.
