Use

In classic General Ledger Accounting, you can manage up to three valuation approaches in parallel to support transfer prices. The valuation approaches are stored using parallel currencies and the ledger facilities.

You can use the following valuation approaches :

You can use the following currencies :

The currency and the valuation method are combined in the document to form the currency and valuation type . For example, if you want to make a group valuation in the group currency, you enter currency and valuation type 31 in the company code.

The meanings of the currency and the valuation remain technically separate at ledger level in General Ledger Accounting.

Features

In each valuation view, complete values are posted, not delta values. This presentation has the advantage that you can manage the parallel valuation approaches in logically and physically separate ledgers. You can use an authorization concept to control how the datasets for the multiple valuation approaches are accessed.

in the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL), you can use multiple valuation approaches in the same way as in General Ledger Accounting. In the master data of a special purpose ledger, you can define whether the ledger manages a legal valuation, a group valuation, or a profit center valuation.

Example

In addition to legal valuation in the company code currency, a corporate group deploys a group valuation and a profit center valuation in a hard currency. The group therefore uses the following currency and valuation types:

In the company code, you would need to make the following settings:

You create two parallel ledgers for group and profit center valuations. In the master data of the ledgers, you specify the valuation type and enter the corresponding currencies.
