  Hello
  the following info from SAP Note 2307443
  Symptom
  You are trying to set up a Parallel Areas for your Parallel currency in a New Asset Accounting scenario .
  You get Error Message "Parallel currency depreciation area xx is not defined correctly" --> Message no. AC559
  Or error message "Parallel crcy area (crcy type xx) missing for area xx ch.of deprec. xxxx" --> Message no. ACC_AA116
  "Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
  Environment
  Financial Accounting (FI)
  Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
  SAP Simple Finance
  SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 from SP2
  SAP ERP Central Component
  SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP
  SAP S/4HANA Finance
  SAP S/4HANA
  Reproducing the Issue
  You are trying to set up a Parallel Areas for your Parallel currency in Asset Accounting with transaction OABT or via IMG path: Asset Accounting (New) -> General Valuation -> Currencies -> Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies.
  When entering the Currency Type you get these kind of error message:
  "Parallel currency depreciation area xx is not defined correctly" Message no. AC559, or
  "Parallel crcy area (crcy type xx) missing for area xx ch.of deprec. xxxx" Message no. ACC_AA116
  Cause
  With New Asset Accounting, for every currency type in your Company Code, you need to create a Parallel Depreciation Area in the same Account Principle (Target Grop) than the area that Post to G/L.
  No matter whether the Parallel currency is the same as the local currency in transaction OB22 or FINSC_LEDGER
  This parallel area has not identical depreciation terms OR identical acquisition values as the depreciation area that updates values to the G/L accounts.
  Resolution
  When configuring Parallel Depreciation Areas ensure that for the parallel area, the identical depreciation terms and identical acquisition values to the depreciation area that updates values to the G/L accounts, are set:
  This should be a possible scenario:
  Transaction FINSC_LEDGER:
  Transaction OABT:
  
  Further reference is made to SAP Note 1990280 - SFIN: Parallel Currency maintainence ACC_AA 116.
  Maybe this already helps
  Greetings

  Hello SAP_Finance,
  Thank you very much for the detailed information. My error indicates that I keep parallel currencies in the general ledger for the leading company code and then they have to be kept that way in Asset Accounting.
  i have the following currencies in ledger 0L:
  10 = EUR --> HGB
  30 = EUR --> group currency
  Depreciation area 01 is assigned to ledger 0L and therefore now also has to manage currency 30.
  But when I try to maintain this in Asset Accounting under parallel currencies, I see that depreciation area 01 does not change, because grayed out.
  Thank you and best regards,
  SAP Junior

  Hello all,
  Problem has been solved.
  Depreciation area 01 had to be copied and assigned via parallel currencies not to 01 but group currency.
  Best regards,
  SAP Junior
