Issue No.: 52
While posting a transaction through transaction code ABSO- Miscellaneous Transaction, the system returns an error message. After further analysis, the user finds that his company code is activated for parallel currencies. How can the user set up depreciation areas for parallel currencies?
If your company code is set up for multiple currencies and has implemented asset management, then be sure you are complying with the following steps:
1. Verify how many currencies are active for your company code. You can verify this setting in transaction code:__(menu path: IMG → Financial Acctg → Financial Acctg Global Settings → Company Code → Multiple Currencies → Define additional local currencies).
2. Review your depreciation areas in AA. In case of multiple currency scenarios, you should have one additional depreciation area for each currency. You can check this setting in transaction code OADB (menu path: IMG → Financial Acctg → Asset Accounting → Valuation → Depreciation Areas → Define Depreciation Areas).
3. For each additional depreciation area, define the depreciation transfer rule with transaction code OABC (menu path: IMG → Financial Acctg → Asset Accounting → Valuation → Depreciation Areas → Specify Transfer of Depreciation Terms). You must set up the transfer values for additional depreciation areas from book depreciation area 01.
4. Similar to step 3, you have to set up the APC transfer rule. You can set up this transfer rule through transaction code OABD (menu path: IMG → Financial Acctg → Asset Accounting → Valuation → Depreciation Areas → Specify Transfer of APC Values).
5. Now you can set up currency for additional depreciation areas through transaction code OAYH (menu path: IMG → Financial Acctg → Asset Accounting → Valuation → Currencies → Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies).
