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.
1. Define Currencies for leading ledger: (OB22)
SPRO-->Financial Accounting (NEW)-->Financial Accounting Global settings--> Ledgers--> Ledger->Define currencies for Leading ledger
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.
Depreciation areas for parallel currency USD for Book 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.
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.
