To implement parallel accounting using ledgers , you need to create a real and a derived depreciation area in

Asset Accounting. This derived depreciation areais used so that the values of the asset subsidiary ledger are
correctly reflected in General Ledger Accounting. The derived depreciation area triggers adjustment postings to
keep the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers in synch.

Note
The following example settings and example postings explain the function of the derived depreciation area.
The information is related to Making Settings for Parallel Ledgers in FI-AA . The menu paths are also listed
there.
Starting Situation:
You want to use the accounting principle LGAP (local valuation) in the ledger group containing the leading
ledger. In another ledger group, you want to use the accounting principle IFRS. You created both ledger
groups. In Asset Accounting, you already assigned ledger group LGAP to the master depreciation area 01.

Prerequisites
For this example, you make the following settings in Customizing:

For parallel valuation according to IFRS, you create the real depreciation area 30 so that it adopts its values
from depreciation area 01. You assign ledger group IFRS to real depreciation 30. You also choose Area
Posts Depreciation Only for the depreciation area.

Create derived depreciation area 60 and assign ledger group IFRS to it. For the derived depreciation area,
you choose Area Posts APC Only . You also specify that depreciation area 60 represents the difference
between depreciation areas 30 and 01, that is, the values of depreciation area 30 minus the values of
depreciation area 01. For whether the values of depreciation area 60 are positive or negative, you have to
specify that all values are allowed. In addition, set the indicator specifying that the derived depreciation
area is treated as a real depreciation area.

Depreciation areas 30 and 60 each use the same accounts as the master depreciation area 01. (You make
this setting by entering depreciation area 01 as the Different Depreciation Area that is used for account
assignment.)

Features
The following example postings make the function of the derived depreciation area clearer:
Example 1
You want to post an invoice receipt for EUR 1200 to fixed assets. In IFRS, you do not want to capitalize the
freight costs of EUR 200 that were incurred. Instead you only want to capitalize them in the local balance
sheet. The posting of the invoice receipt is made in Materials Management (MM) and follows in all ledgers in
General Ledger Accounting.

The result, as shown in the figure below, is that EUR 1200 is posted to the fixed asset control account in all
ledgers, since a posting to the master area causes the same amount to be posted in all ledgers (step 1).

The value of EUR 1200 is updated to depreciation areas 01 and 30. In depreciation area 30, you now make

a manual adjustment posting for the freight costs in the amount of EUR 200 (step 2).
Depreciation area 60 makes the adjustment posting of EUR 200 in the IFRS ledger group (step 3).
Postings in the Different Ledgers

()
Example 2
You want to post an asset retirement with revenue (for the amount of EUR 300). Depreciation areas 01 and 30
have the same APC, but due to different depreciation terms, they have different depreciation (EUR 500 and
EUR 600).
If you post the retirement, then the values of the master depreciation area would be updated to all ledgers, so
that the depreciation and loss would both be shown incorrectly in the IFRS ledger (depreciation area 30) with
the values 500 and 200.
However, derived depreciation area 60 automatically triggers an adjustment posting (100 and 100), so that the
ledgers of Asset Accounting and General Ledger Accounting are again in synch.

Muchas gracias por la informacin compaeros, he metido todas las notas que me
indicis y se ha arreglado parcialmente. El problema es que tenemos cobros en
metlico (INCASH), he aplicado las siguiente nota 1974861 - RFIDESM340:Vat On
Cash(Correction Note):
Symptom
1.While click "Operation Key" table link on list output, it's not navigating.
2.Payment date and payment amount is not filled up with zeros on some
special case like Incash, Subsidies and Inmuebles.
3.If posting date range on selection screen more than a specific month, then it's
displaying error message.
4.Payment date and Payment method/IBAN is coming wrong for Bill Of
Exchange(BOE) scenario.
5.Country Code and key is not coming properly for one time customer/vendor
scenario.
Que debera arreglar este problema pero nada aquellos cobros que han sido en
metlico no me rellena los ceros, en cambio en el resto si que lo hace bien.

As que nada a escribir a SAP que pasa con esto.


Muchas gracias por todo y un saludo.

Symptom
The Open Items tab is important, especially when using the clearing function for
general ledger
accounts and customer/vendor accounts. If the user wants the open items to come
in unselected
(recommended for GL account reconciliation), the radio button with the message
selected items
initially inactive should be clicked. If the user wants them to come in selected,
they would
uncheck this box. It is recommended that the items come in unselected because if
the user has to
double click on the individual line items, it is more likely that the user will double
check that
they are clearing the correct line items. Everything else on this screen should
remain as is. The
screen on the following page shows the recommended settings for this tab.
