Parallel Valuation Approaches in Asset Accounting
Use
If you want your profit center managers to be able to analyze the assets in their area of responsibility, you need to valuate assets in Profit Center Accounting using the same valuation approach as the one they were originally posted with in Asset Accounting. This is why you can settle assets to the relevant valuation areas in Asset Accounting using the legal, group, and profit center viewpoints in Profit Center Accounting. This applies to collective as well as line item settlement.
Within a valuation area, define an additional valuation area for each valuation view.
Example:
Valuation area 20 (costing-based valuation) includes:
Valuation area 20 (costing-based valuation in legal valuation view)
Valuation area 21 (costing-based valuation in profit center valuation view)
Valuation area 22 (costing-based valuation in group valuation view)
Integration
Note that you must use the same valuation approaches in Asset Accounting as in Financial Accounting. Additional valuation approaches in Asset Accounting are not supported. See also
