SAP Note 158953 - Settlement in parallel currency not the same as FI debit

Component : Period-end Closing - Investment Orders

Summary :
After settling an order or WBS element to an asset or G/L account, discrepancies arise between initial debits and settlement credits specifically in a parallel currency not managed in CO. This anomaly primarily impacts areas using this currency for depreciation, and could prompt error AA617 during settlement due to negative valuations. The problematic occurrence is tied to the system’s conversion process from CO to this specific FI currency, which doesn’t consider original documentation during currency transformation. Settlement strategies vary based on whether the order involves a summary or item line settlement, affecting the recalibration of original debits. Corrective actions include managing the parallel currency within CO or adjusting postings after initial settlements to reconcile these differences.

Key words :
