It is really a good start for the most interesting functionality of SAP FICO, even though there is a lot improvement with simplification and addition is expected.
This document also having very high level description for each changes, so please let me know if you want me to add my understanding.
a. Let me highlight how we do the different valuation booking in ECC in below modules
i. FI – it uses parallel currency types
ii. AA – it uses depreciation areas
iii. CO – It uses parallel actual versions, where actual will be in version 0 and delta to version 0 will be in parallel versions.
iv. ML – It uses currency types
b. For having this all module better integrated, in S/4HANA Finance 1605 we have new field “valuation view” (VALUTYP). This field get available once we activate transfer price for a controlling area and assign currency and valuation profile. This setting is available in the same screen where define controlling area setting
c. For below Accounting approaches we need different settings required
i. Ledger approach - Parallel single valuation ledgers
1. In this approach, we have a separate ledger for each valuation view
2. Currency type of the specific valuation view will be assigned to the ledger

1. In this approach, we have a single ledger with separate amount fields for all valuation views
2. currency type of all valuation views will be assigned to the ledger

I. FI
1. Valuation view will be assigned to the Currency type.
a. Each currency type for group valuation and profit center valuation will be assign a base currency type of legal valuation. Where the last digit in the custom currency type do not define the valuation type (e.g. 2 in currency type A2 as profit center valuation) because we assign valuation view manually to the custom currency type).
2. Valuation view will be assigned to Ledger.
a. If we follow multiple valuation ledger approach then we will not assign any valuation view as all the valuation views are applicable based on the currency type with valuation view is assign to the ledger.

ii. CO
1. Assign ledger to CO version
a. Assign the ledger to the CO actual version with required valuation view
