Clear balance in local currency

Dear all,
I hope you can help me with following issue.
I'm trying to clear 2 documents via F-03
The 2 documents have a balance in local currency of 0 (zero). Normally it should be possible to clear these 2 documents.
The problem however is that in the GL master record "only balances in local currency" was not flagged when the postings were done. I think that even the balances in local currency net to zero there is now a balance in foreign currency.
Any idea's on how I can clear the balance in local currency?
Thanks a lot

Checking the checkbox "No forex rate diff. when clearing in LC" for your company code in T Code OBY6 could resolve your issue probably.

F5061 Balance in local currency EUR is too large for automatic adjustment

My Company code currency is EUR. The customer has made a downpayment in USD (say 100) and i am now to clear the same against invoice of same amount in USD (100 $) but its is resulting into minor differences in Local currency. I am getting the following error
Balance in local currency EUR is too large for automatic adjustment
Message no. F5061
Diagnosis
For postings in foreign currency, it is possible that the balance in foreign currency is zero, but not in local currency. Providing the balance in local currency does not amount to more currency units than the document has line items, the system adjusts the amounts automatically. If an automatic adjustment is not possible, the amounts must be adjusted manually in local currency.
System Response
The document is not posted in local currency without adjusting the amounts.
Procedure
Adjust the amounts in local currency.
How can i have the system automatically fetch the Gl accounts to post the exchange rate differeces.
I have maintained the settings in FBKP- Exchange rate differenes
Thanks & Regards
Pooja

Hi,
I have the same problem; my company code is defined in HUF and I am trying to post a vendor invoice in Euros.
I have a 10% maintained there and still receiving the error, either for differences of just one HUF. The strangest thing is that differences are automatically adjusted (also for discrepancies over the 10%) when posting through FB60 but not when using FB01.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards.

GL Master - Only Balances in Local Currency

I am curious when to check the 'Only Balances in Local Currency' (OBILC) box on a Open Item GL. I've read information from multiple sources and interpret that it should be set on all OI accounts with a few exceptions like recon accounts for vendors and customers. In my past experience OBILC was checked for most open item accounts but the company I'm currently with has the opposite logic. With the box not checked, the clearing is process is quite complex and time-consuming. We are on the classic ledger in 6.0 and have companies in multiple local currencies with group currency of USD. Just looking for input because I'm doubting my interpretation of when to check this box.
As an example, the GL would be an AP accrual account with postings in multiple doc currencies. The company code local currency is MXN, and Group Currency is USD. Should the OBILC be checked?
Any input is appreciated.

Hi,
'Only Balances in Local Currency' (OBILC) is used when you do not want any foreign excange difference to be posted at the time of clearing. When this indicator is active, then the balances in database tables are updated in local currency only and thus the clearing can happen in local currency only.
In your below example scenario, you can chosse not to activate this check OBILC, if your company is not interested in doing foreign currency valuation difference posting.

Open item mgt and only balances in local currency

Hi ,
What is open item management and only banlances in local currency ?
for which gl accounts v select open item management and only balances in local currency
Pls explain urgent
Regards
umesh

1. Only Balances in Local Currency:
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use: You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
It is required to set theis indicator in:
1. cash discount clearing accounts
2. GR/IR clearing accounts.
It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
Open item management:
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Explanation: Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
Procedure: Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
USE:
A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
Clearing accounts:
Bank clearing account
Payroll clearing account
Cash discount clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Raw material accounts
Reconciliation accounts
Hope this is helpful. Pleas assign points if it is.

Only balance in local currency

Hi
our base currency is UDS. One of the GL ( bank account in Germany ) is set up as document currency ( euro ) and " only in local currency " check box is unchecked ( FS00 , control tab ). Now when I try to load the plan data into system, all the values goes well except this GL. I used manual entry to load the value (Gp12 ) into this GL (plan ).It did not work.
Now I tried to change the check box ( FS00 ) but it does not allow as there is balance into that. First I am not clear why this one account was set up like that.Can anybody suggest me how to fix this "only local currency" issue.
Thanks
Satya

Hi Satya,
Since you have created the g/l account with account currency EUR and which is different from your company code currency (USD) it will only accept the postings in EUR. If an account is set up in company code currency then it will accept postings in all currencies. Usually bank accounts are maintained in currencies other than company code currency and in this case I am not sure why you have created a P&L account in currency other than Company code currency.
The indicator "Only balances in local currency" controls the display of balances via FS10N transaction and if you have unchecked that indicator then system should supposedly display the balances by transaction currency but in your case since, your account currency is EUR and the g/l account can only accept postings in EUR it doesnt really matter because it will only display balances in EUR since all the postings going to the above account will be only EUR.
As far as ur problem is concerned; looks like u r loading numbers in currency other than EUR and that is why it is bombing out. You have to zero out the balance in the account first and then have to change the account currency to USD if you want to plan in diff currencies on that account.
Plz assign points if useful
Thanks
Kumar

GL account char - XSALH "Indicator:Only Manage Balances in Local Currency"

Hello experts,
Regarding transaction FS00 or FSS0, i would like someone to give me a clear view of the utility of value field XSALH "Indicator: Only Manage Balances in Local Currency".
When creating a GL account, from a technical perpestice, in which case i should activate this flag and in which case i should not activate it ?
What are the different impact for the user, except the fact that balances are updated only in local currency ?
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas GORECKI

Hi
If the indicator Only Balances in Local Currency is selected in the master record, transactions figures are only managed for amounts translated into local currency.
You should select this field for clearing accounts where you want to clear accounts by assigning items with the same local currency amount with one another, without necessitating exdchange rate difference postings.
The indicator must be set in cash discount and GR/IR clearing accounts. This should not be activated for Reconciliation accounts for customer and vendors.
This indicator is usually set in balance sheet accounts that are not managed in foreign currencies.
IF this indicator is not set, to clear the open items, both the local and foreign currency amounts of the items to be clared must match. In such a case, it may be required to post an exchange rate difference postings.

Balances in Local Currency

What is the purpose and standard usage of this field in the GL Account Master?

HI,
Indicator: Only Manage Balances in Local Currency
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use
You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
Setting this indicator for accounts managed on an open item basis affects the clearing procedures. See the example below.
Procedure
Set the indicator in cash discount clearing accounts and GR/IR clearing accounts. It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
It is usually set for particular balance sheet accounts including:
Accounts which are not managed on an open item basis and not kept in foreign currencies.
Accounts which are managed on an open item basis and have the same types of items posted in different currencies, but always allow clearing to be made if the local currency amounts correspond.
Examples
You set up a clearing account for goods receipts and invoice receipts and manually post these items to it. You post invoice receipts in the invoice currency and goods receipts always in the local currency.
Invoice receipt 1000 DEM 600 USD
Goods receipt 600 USD
Both items can be cleared if the clearing account balances are recorded in local currency only. If you have not set the indicator for this account, the system will translate DEM to USD during the clearing procedure in order to determine the amount in USD required to clear 1000 DEM. If the translation rate is .65 USD per DEM, then the system displays 650 USD for the invoice receipt and 600 USD for the goods receipt when the open items are processed.
This means that to clear both of these items, you will also have to enter a difference posting for 50 USD, and the system will automatically make an additional exchange rate difference posting for this amount.

Balance on local currency

Hi ,
In FS00 in control data Tab ,Balance in local currency and Open item managment , What is purpose of this and what happens if we tick what happens if we dont tick that
regards,
Santosh kumar

Hi
Use
The local currency amounts in FI and TR-TM-SE are converted independently of each other. Since the local currency amounts are converted at different summarization levels (at flow level in TR-TM-SE, for the document or account transaction figures in FI), there may be rounding differences when you compare TR-LO and FI resulting from the local currency changeover.
In FI documents, the system clears any difference between the debit and credit sides after the local currency changeover by means of an additional posting item. This posting item does not exist in TR-TM-SE. This may lead to different balances in TR-TM-SE and FI.

GR/IR clearing value in local currency

Hi All,
I have a service PO (Item cat D) in which the vendor and local currency is same as USD.
when I see PO history, the amount of SES and GR (101) is shown as 0 (ZERO) in "GR/IR clearing value in local currency" colunm, however the amont of IR is displayed here (NOT 0).
Can you please help to undersatnd of this behaviour.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Kumar,
When a Po is created two currencies come in to picture
One- The document currency, which is generally the vendor currency also or the currency in which the items are ordered.
Two- The local currency or the Currency of the company code or the currency in which account postings take place.
The GR/Ir clearing value in local currency is the value that is viewed in the company code currency. This is dealt in the background and should not cause any issues at all

Only Balances in local currency

Hi,
By mistake we activated only Balances in local currency setting for a GL account at the time of Go-live. Also we had done postings to this account with foreign currency and local currency. Now we want to do foreign currency valuation for this account, but the problem is up to now all the transaction are recorded in local currency only because of the reported setting to GL master, so system is not finding any valuation differences for foreign currency transactions.
What can be done to update the transaction currency balances for the posted line items without reversing?
Is there any program to update the balances in transaction currency as well?
We have many line items in that GL account which have to be revaluated.
Experts, please give me the suggestion.

F.05 and "only balance in local currency"

Hi Dear,my client like to do F.05 (foreign curreny valuation) for all balance sheet account,but if you select "only balance in local currency" in GL master,then those GL accounts can not be picked up for F.05.
SAP's suggestion is :
*For normal balance sheet accounts that record neither items in foreign currency nor open items, SAP recommends that you record the account transaction figures in local currency only. You should select the "Only balances in local curr." checkbox to do this*
But if i want do f.05 for all balance sheet account,i should not select "only balance in local currency" in GL master,am i right?

Hi,if you want do so then do. But do realy going to book all accounts in foreign currency???
