Hello,

I prefer to ask a few questions first and I assume you are not using the New GL.

1. How to expect to use the same asset, but depreciation is different because of useful life, then why is 03 deriving from 01? This is something that is confusing to me, only that I may have to deal with this soon and my client is not using the New GL.

2. If 03 is not a real depreciation area then how will perform the IFRS financial statement?

Lastly, I think it would be good to see Roy's EU comments on this matter though.

Regards

Waza

Subject: Depreciation area configuration

Hi experts,

I need your advice on depreciation areas configuration. Situation is: GBP is set as local (Company code) currency, EUR as group currency (OB22, currency type 30). Client requires the following valuation:

01 Book depreciation in GBP
02 Book depreciation in EUR
03 IFRS depreciation in GBP
04 IFRS depreciation in EUR

IFRS depreciation differs from book deprecation in terms of parameters of useful life.

If all depreciation areas are set to have the same value and depreciation terms takeover from area 01, when I go to OABT to set the currency type, I get the following (which is logical):

Currency type 30 is already assigned to depreciation area 30
Message no. AC 661
Diagnosis
Currency type 30 is already assigned to depreciation area 30.
Procedure
Check your entries. You can only assign a currency type more than once if the depreciation areas are different in regard to value takeover. However, since depreciation area 32 and depreciation area 30 have the same value takeover area, they cannot both have the same currency type.

Therefore, I have set the following: Area 02 takes APC values and depreciation terms from area 01 and the "identical" takeover flag in ticked, and area 04 from area 03 and identical takeover flag ticked. In OABT, I have no problem by adding the group currency type 30 to area 02, but the currency type field for are 04 is grayed out and no entry is possible.

Can anyone please advise me how to achieve the requirement and set the group currency 30 for both areas 02 and 04? Or it is not possible, so I have to think about specifying a foreign currency EUR (tcode OAYH) for area 04?

I look forward to your opinion.

BR,
Jane
