Inquiry on Linkage Between "Activate Advanced Valuation" and "Define Alternative Reconciliation"

[amarmodanwal]

Hi SAP Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm currently working on configuring SAP and have come across two specific areas that I need some clarification on:

1. 103315_Activate Advanced Valuation – I understand this configuration is related to handling of complex valuation scenarios like Balance Sheet Reclassification, Impairment, Foreign Currency Valuations and Discounting of Receivables and Payables.

2. 102631_Define Alternative Reconciliation – This configuration seems to pertain to setting up alternative reconciliation methods by assigning an alternative reconciliation account if we want to reconcile some transactions differently from the normal business.

My question is whether these two configurations are interconnected or if they operate independently. Specifically:

• Are there any dependencies between "Activate Advanced Valuation" and "Define Alternative Reconciliation"?
• Could changes or settings in one configuration impact the other?
• Are there best practices or considerations when configuring these two areas together?

To share an example: I have assigned an alternative reconciliation account to the target account mentioned in the Advanced Valuation configuration, but the document is still being posted to the target account specified when I am running the general ledger job for post-balance sheet reclassification. I am attaching some screenshots to illustrate the issue:

Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
CA Amar Modanwal.

Dear CA Amar Modanwal, 

first of all thanks a lot for asking this question. The configuration activities you are mentioning are independent from each other. The Advanced Valuation Runs rely on it's own account determination with all source accounts tagged with the semantic tag (for Advanced Foreign Currency Valuation, Discounting of Long-Term Assets and Liabilities, Credit-Risk-Based Impairment) or maintained in the configuration activity directly (B/S Reclassification). 

Best regards,

Kevin Sigl
