Business context: Because asset transactions are supplied with the Segment (or Profit Center) characteristic to enable segment reporting, this should logically also be done in the depreciation documents.
Although the Segment entity is derived from the CO account assignment of the asset master record (through the profit center) , the depreciation posting program first needs to be able to derive this CO a/c assignment. This is done using "account assignment types":
Company Code: A0
Depreciation Area: 01 (book depreciation) and 20 (cost-accounting depreciation)
Account Assignment Objects AA Object

If document splitting is active, the corresponding accounts have to be defined as item categories – This typically involves accounts like the following: => Depreciation expense accounts (scheduled depreciation, unplanned deprecation) => Cost-accounting expense accounts (depreciation, interest) => Clearing accounts for cost-accounting expenses Important: Value adjustment accounts are predefined as item categories.

About account assignment types:
Depreciation area 20 must have account assignment type Depreciation Run if area 20 is the area
for posting the cost-accounting values (depreciation / interest) through to Controlling. In this case, the "cost-accounting depreciation" account is defined as a cost element, and requires a CO- relevant account assignment during the depreciation posting run. However, this account can only
be selected if the corresponding CO object (such as cost center, order, or WBS element) is linked with the account assignment type Depreciation Run. Furthermore, the segment is then derived (indirectly) from the CO object.
Valuation area 01 records book depreciation. The system demands account assignment type
Depreciation Run for area 01 even if the depreciation expense account is not defined as a cost element - which means these values are only posted in FI. This is the only way for the system to derive the profit center and then (possibly) the segment from the CO object for the book depreciation document.
Only the actual amount posted to an account defined as (primary) cost element actually ends up in Controlling – both depreciation amounts end up in the leading ledger.
As soon as document splitting is activated, the depreciation documents also have to meet the document splitting criteria, which means the corresponding accounts have to be defined as item categories. FI-AA already takes care of the split at segment level for depreciation documents.

The document is cleared at account level, as well as segment and profit center levels. Under book depreciation, there is (usually) no direct posting to CO – The Cost Center characteristic is blank.

The FI document has a corresponding CO document, which writes cost-accounting depreciation and imputed interest to the requested CO object.

Unit: Periodic Processing Topic: Foreign Currency Valuation
(of Customer Receivables)
At the conclusion of these exercises, you will be able to
Understand and start the program for foreign currency valuation. You will only run the local valuation in this unit; you will add an international valuation in the following unit.
5-1 Exercise for foreign currency valuation (of customer receivables) 5-1-1 Create a customer 210## in your company code AA##. … SAP Easy Access Menu Accounting Financial Accounting Customers
Master Records Create Choose Sold-To-Party (entry at the very bottom) as the account group. You
can use customer 1000 in company code 1000 as a template. Fill in all the required-entry fields for the address data and save your data.
5-1-2 Now enter a customer invoice in U.S. dollars for your customer 210##, in the amount of $ 5,000.00. This means you are creating an invoice for a (major) international customer in their currency. Also assume that the $ exchange rate was 0.83333 on the posting date. This corresponds to a € exchange rate of 1.20: 1/1.20 = 0.8333. Accordingly, the euro is strong compared to the dollar, or alternatively: The dollar is relatively weak.

Important: You can press Enter to skip any warning messages due to values that differ from the table exchange rate; after all, that’s the objective of this exercise.
Enter the following data in the posting transaction: Customer: 210## Invoice date: 07/07/previous year Reference: 1## Posting date: 07/17/previous year Invoice amount: 5,000
