Periodic processing tasks are executed in new General Ledger Accounting with changes using

the following programs

The transfer of the profit center and segment in the vendor and tax line items shows that
document splitting is active for the posting shown in the example

The selection screen of the FAGL_FCV program is easier to understand because of the improved
tab page structure.
The new program can only be used in new General Ledger Accounting. If you are still using
classic General Ledger Accounting, you work with the foreign currency valuation program
SAPF100.
You can execute the new General Ledger Accounting program for foreign currency valuation
(FAGL_FC_VALUATION and FAGL_FCV), for example, in Accounts Payable Accounting.
On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts
Payable Periodic Processing Closing Valuate Foreign Currency Valuation of Open
Items (New) to execute the new General Ledger Accounting program for foreign currency
valuation.

Before the first valuation run with enhancement package 5, the system checks entries in the
FAGL_BSBW_HISTRY table for the whole client. If a valuation is saved for any company code,
the old transaction FAGL_FC_VAL still starts the old program FAGL_FC_VALUATION. To
start the new program, use the FAGL_FCV transaction and save a valuation run in update mode.
Even if you start the FAGL_FC_VALUATION program with the SA38 transaction (after a
productive run of the new program), the system starts the new program, and information message
number FR618 is displayed:
Program change in FAGL_FC_VALUATION: Valuation is being executed with FAGL_FCV."

The valuation areas to be defined should not be confused with the depreciation areas in Asset
Accounting (FI-AA).
These valuation areas are used if you want to model parallel accounting principles in an SAP
system. If you only need the local valuation approach, as is assumed in this unit, then you only
need to define one valuation area. You can choose the ID and name, for example, LO local
valuation area.
The section on Parallel Financial Accounting in AC210 provides information about mapping
multiple valuation approaches.

In the FAGL_FCV program, a new number range interval is needed to internally count the
update runs. But the generated number for each run is also displayed in the result screen of an
update run.
Only one interval per client is defined.
The interval number range number has to have the number 01, and the number range must be as
large as possible.

The system prerequisites shown in the figure must have been met when the vendor invoice (in a
foreign currency) is posted.
The revenue account from currency valuation can also be defined as a cost element. In this case,
negative costs are posted to the corresponding Controlling (CO) object after a currency-related
reduction of the payable.
Note: You can drilldown from the line items of the CO report to the posted CO document and
from there, back to the FI document.

The FI entities from the original vendor invoice are transferred to the foreign currency valuation
documents if document splitting is active.
Caution: If document splitting is not active, the accounts are only supplied with the
corresponding values without attributes. The FI entities are not transferred in the correction and
valuation posting.

SAP recommends using the FAGL_FCV program.

The test runs are also saved in the log. The logs are displayed on the Outputs/Technical Settings
tab page.

The delta logic can be applied in both new General Ledger Accounting programs,
FAGL_FC_VALUATION and FAGL_FCV, for foreign currency valuation.
You can define the delta valuation area in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under
General Ledger Accounting (New) Periodic Processing Valuate Activate Delta Logic.
You can also start the functions directly with the V_FAGL_FCV_DELTA view.
For more information, see SAP Notes 960661 and 1006684. These notes provide information
about Support Packages that provide the delta logic in various SAP ERP releases.
Hint: In some countries, reverse posting is not allowed.

The valuation differences are stored in the FAGL_BSBW_HISTRY table.

Note: For more information, see SAP Notes 960661 and 1006684.

For SAP customers who still work with FAGL_FC_VALUATION program, the decision between
a mid-fiscal year valuation and a year-end closing valuation is made at the bottom of the Postings
tab page.

The RAPOST2000 program posts depreciation for FI-AA in all releases from SAP Release 4.7.
This program is the successor to the RABUCH00 program.
The main difference between the RAPOST2000 and RABUCH00 programs is that the newer
depreciation posting program no longer uses batch processing but posts depreciation to the FI
accounts immediately during the program run.
An interesting question is whether (and, if so, how) FI characteristics, such as the profit center
and the segment, are passed on in depreciation posting documents.

The various account assignment types are as follows:

Depreciation area 20
This depreciation area must have the Depreciation Run account assignment type if area 20 is the
area for posting the cost-accounting values (depreciation or interest) to CO.
In this case, the (cost-accounting) depreciation account is defined as a cost element and requires
a CO-relevant account assignment object when posting depreciations. However, the account
assignment object (such as cost enter, order, or WBS element) can only be selected if the
Depreciation Run account assignment type is specified for those CO entities.
Note: Whether or not new General Ledger Accounting (or any business function) is active, these
settings for the RAPOST2000 program are mandatory.
Caution: If segment reporting for FI-AA is activated (possible with active business function
FIN_GL_REORG_1), the additional particular FI characteristic account assignment objects
(profit center and segment) need to be defined.
Depreciation area 01

This Depreciation area records book depreciation.

Without activated segment reporting in FI-AA, the system requires the Depreciation Run account
assignment type for account assignment objects of CO even if the depreciation expense account
is not defined as a cost element. This means that 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.
With activated segment reporting in FI-AA, the system does not require the Depreciation Run
account assignment type for account assignment objects of CO. You must define the
Depreciation Run account assignment type explicitly for the profit center and the segment
account assignment object.

The following Customizing settings are used to activate segment reporting and specify account
assignment types.
