error when acquiring asset in f-90

Message no. AC496

Diagnosis

Company code 101 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 30 and currency EUR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01.

Procedure

Check your Customizing settings.

Hi,

You need to maintaint parallel currency settings in the below mentioned path of IMG

Financial Accounting (New) - Asset Accounting - Valuation - Currencies

1) Define Depreciation Areas for Foreign Currencies

2) Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies (This should match with OB22 settings)

Best Regards,

Madhu

Hello

Error AC496 is always related to incomplete customizing of your system.

You got the error message AC496 because your Company Code manages

parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. You must define exactly one

dependent area for each area that is supposed to post automatically

online to reconciliation accounts. You have to define this area to take

over identical values and parameters, and use the currency type xxx,

and currency xxx. The xxx denotes your parameters. In addition please

look at your Company Code in FI Customizing(TA OB22). This Company Code

may be using Parallel currencies. In Asset Management you have to

define a depreciation area for every Parallel currency you use in FI.

This depreciation area(s) must be defined as areas for Parallel

curriencies(TA OAE1: Asset Balance Online as Parallel currency). The

currency of this depreciation area must be the same as the Parallel

currency in the FI(TA OAEC). If you need more information please read

the documentation on the topic: "Asset balance online as Parallel

currency.

Again, make sure you double check the followings very carefully :-

1. Company Code in FI Customizing(TA OB22). This Company Code must

be using Parallel Currencies.

2. In Asset Management you have to define a depreciation area for

for every Parallel Currency you use in FI. This depreciation

area(s) must be defined as areas for Parallel Currency

(TA OEA1: Asset Balance Online as Parallel currency). The

currency of this depreciation area must be the same as the

Parallel Currency in the FI (TA OAEC).

Hi,

While doing Asset accounting configuration .. first we need to assign COD to Company Code and then do define currencies of leading ledger.

If it is not the case.. first remove COD from company code and remove currencies config again assign COD to company code and redo currency settings.

Thanks,

Padmaja
