Extension Ledger and Foreign Currency Valuation

This process describes a new functionality available in S/4HANA 1709. Presume


this might be useful for those who are still exploring many of the features of
S/4HANA like me.

In FINSC_LEDGER we now find some enhancements in the Extension Ledger. In


the field “Extension Ledger Type”, we have three available drop-down values, out
of which one is “Simulation”.

In this case, an Extension Ledger “RL” has been defined with type Simulation Ledger. We know
all Extension Ledgers have an underlying base ledger and so only the “Extension Ledger”
specific entries are stored in ACDOCA. However, for reporting purposes all the entries from the
base ledger are added to the same, thus making it a composite Ledger. For now, let us assume
the underlying Ledger in our case is “0L”.

One of the functionalities of this Simulation Ledger type is to help carry out “FC Valuation”
exclusively in this ledger. So, the results are only posted in this Ledger and not in the underlying
Ledger, say “0L”. So, we now branch off to the Transaction “FAGL_FCV”.
In the above screen, we see a Radio button “Simulation Run”. The F1 Help for this
field thus describes “Simulation Run”.

“Quote” – In the simulation run, you perform the foreign currency valuation and
associated postings; however, the postings are made to a separate simulation
ledger. This means that you can delete the data of a simulation run (that is, the
postings and history) easily without reversal postings. You can use the simulation
run, for example, to analyze how postings for rates would look and as a tool for
predictive analytics. “- Unquote”.

So, once the required settings are in place, we can do a simulation run and see
the results. In this case , one posting document ‘S000000009’ has been generated
which is shown right below the display log.
You would notice the document number has a suffix “S”.

This FC valuation run would be useful, as we could see all the posted results
along with the values in the Leading Ledger “ 0L” before any period close or for
any other predictive analysis . The posted values can be verified in table ACDOCA.
Also this can be viewed in GL line item report “FAGLL03”.

When the check box “Delete Existing Sim. Data” is flagged the postings and the
history from simulation runs are deleted. You would notice the ACDOCA table
entries are no longer available.
Prerequisites:

All the required settings under “Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting > Valuate >
Foreign Currency Valuation” are to be maintained first.

Apart from that, the minimum settings required for this are given below to generate the posting
documents.

a) Financial Accounting Global Settings > Document > Error Correction and Suspense
Accounting > Define ECS Environments.

b) General Ledger Accounting > Periodic Processing > Valuate > Foreign Currency
Valuation > Foreign Currency Valuation: Assignment of ECS Environment.

Number Range Object:

Number range object FAGL_FCV interval 01 must be maintained.

Define the following entries for number range interval 01 in transaction “FAGL_FCV_SNRO”:

No. From number To number

01 0000000001 9999999999
