Exchange rates configuration

Hi experts,
My client's group currency is USD and company code currency is INR and controlling area currency is USD. For every posting in FI, the system transfers the amount to "CO" with some exchange rate. This exchange rate (Either Buying, Selling or Average) where we will maintain?
Thanks,

Exchange rate configuration

What are configuration settings required for exchange rate. If am buying someting in $. PL. explain me step by step with all conf.

Hi,
You have to maintain the Exchange values from currency to To currency.
To do this , you have to maintain that in the configuration, goto transaction code OB08
Enter the EXCHANGE RATE as M ( if you want to maintain the exchange rates monthly)
Valid from date , from which date the exchange rate should valid
Indirect quoted exchange rate as USD value like 47,000
and From currency = INR
please check and revert back

Hi Guys,

Also i have selected check box for company code, at spro>MM>Logistics Invoice Verification>Incoming Invoice>Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated.
Still system is not able to pick the GL account which is defined in OBYC.
Please help.
Steps i have carried out:
1. Assigned GL account in OBYC, Transaction key KDM
2. selected check box for company code, at spro>MM>Logistics Invoice Verification>Incoming Invoice>Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated.
3. Post PO (with some exchnage rate say 1.25)
4.Post MIGO
5. POST MIRO (Exchange rate is 1.50), Here when i simulate or post, the GL account is not picking to post difference.
M i missing any config????
I appreciate your help a.s.a.p,.
Thanks
Akshay

According to me, system wont calculate exch rate differences during MIRO.
Please make sure that, you have not selected the Exch Rate Fixed check box in PO header part, next to the exch rate field.
MIGO Entry:
Inventory/Expense Dr 100USD   5000INR
GR/IR......................Cr 100USD   5000INR
MIRO Entry:
GR/IR......................Dr 100USD   4700INR
Vendor....................Cr 100USD    4700INR
In this case, system will create 0 USD & 300 INR for forex diff gl line item, when you clear the GR/IR open items only.
Assume INR is your LC.

Two types of Exchange Rate to be configured

Hi Friends,
We need to configure another type of Exchange Rate in the system, i.e. two different types of rates - one for Accounts Payable and another one for Accounts Receivable. Could anyone please advise how can we configure the same in the system.
Thanks, would appreciate help for the same.
Regards

Hi,
You can very well configure in OB07.
In fact, most of the business scenarios use buying rate and selling rate for these scenarios.
You can also update ER to be defaulted in document type configuration OBA7.

Configure Currency Exchange Rates In BW

Hi All,
i am working on a implementation project.Can anybody explain me the method to configure the exchange rates in BW. And explain the advantages and disadvantages of configuring the exchange rates in BW.Which is the best approach?
Thanks,
Sunitha.

Hi,
easiest way is, not to maintain exchangerates in BW but to extract them out of the source system (presupposed, they are maintained there).
To upload them, go to the Sources system entry in transaction rsa1, context menu and go to the point "exchangerates".
You should schedule the upload of the rates as the first job before any other Extraction is running.
Nevertheless, you can also maintain this manually in BW but you don't have to.
The advantage of currencies an rates in the standard tables is, that you can then use the currency conversion functionalities within your query.
Probably you want to have a year to date evaluation to implement. This can easily be implemented by using the currency conversion, which requires the rates in the Table TCURR (and all other required tables).
Alternativeley you can perform these calculations during upload but, without the TCURR-Tables, this is only possible for rates contained in the uploaded records.

How to restrict manual change to exchange rate.

Hello
Requirement:
Our requirement is we want to control the manual exchange rate entry(user type or otherwise) at different form e.g. AP Invoice screen,AR Invoice,GL JV.
What ever the rate defined pops up,should only be used for transactions and no scope should be given to user to change the rate.
Process:
Our process is that We have a boundary system and we manually enter the rates daily and upload to Oracle Application by running a program interfaced with the boundary system.The rates fetched from the boundary system sits in daily rate form as spot rate.
The profile option "AR: Default Exchange Rate Type" has value "spot".
Similarly in payable option the rate given as "spot".
Solution provided by our consultant:
We have Below clarification from the consultant Oracle team on controlling who can enter exchange rates manually vs who can not.
Pls see response for both sub ledger and general ledger transactions. An ability to limit manual exchange rate entry & view is, therefore, available in Oracle.
In Oracle, the transactions are created in subledgers and manual journals are created in General Ledger.The defaulting of exchange rate type is done separately for different subledgers. For General Ledger (creating manual journals) the control is separate.
1)For transactions originating in subledgers , for eg.Accounts Receivable, the name of the profile option is "AR: Default Exchange Rate Type" and looking at your requirement, this should be set at "Corporate" and not "User" or "Spot". Setting it at Corporate, will make the application look at the predefined corporate rates. Similarly for transactions (invoices/payments) in Accounts Payable, the defaulting can be configured through payable options.
2)For manual journals , the defaulting of exchange rate type is controlled separately. This can also be secured by definition access set which will prevent unauthorized changes to rate type.
Questions:
1.Can we take their suggest given our process that changing the rate to corporate will restrict manual intervention of the user.
2.whether definition access set feature available in 11.5.10.2 and if so how can we configure.
3.What is the best way to restrict user from manual intervention.

Hello.
For the mentioned forms, you can use Forms Personalization to force users to use a certain type(s) of exchange rate.

GR/IR Exchange Rate Difference behavior

Dear guru,
I would like to know for the case of Invoice Receipt (IR) before goods receipt (GR) in different month with different exchange rate.
For example:
AUD is the local currency
PO# 1230000001, PO currency EUR, Material A, Unit Price 1EUR each, total quantity 100, without GST.
Invoice receipt (IR) @ 01-Dec-2008, with rate 1.95330 From EUR to AUD.
TCode MIRO
Dr GR/IR   100 EUR, 195.33 AUD
Cr Vendor 100 EUR, 195.33 AUD
Now, we do goods receipt (GR) @ 01-Jan-2009, with rate 2.02740 from EUR to AUD.
TCode MIGO
What should be the proper behavior?
I tried that myself in the system, and found 3 different behaviors.
Behavior A (Both Foreign Curr & Local Curr Amt is the same as IR amt, and a pair of Price Difference Posting)
Cr GR/IR   100 EUR, 195.33 AUD
Dr Inventory   100 EUR, 195.33 AUD
Dr Exchg Rate Diff   0 EUR, 7.41 AUD
Cr Material Variance   0 EUR, 7.41 AUD
Behavior B (Foreign Currency Amount is the same as IR amount)
Cr GR/IR   100 EUR, 202.74 AUD
Dr Inventory 100 EUR, 202.74 AUD
Behavior C (Local Currency Amount is the same as IR amount)
Cr GR/IR   96.35 EUR, 195.33 AUD
Dr Inventory 96.35 EUR, 195.33 AUD
I would like to know where in the system configuration or master setup control the above behavior?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Chris

Hi:
        Please check account assignments in OBA1..KDF ,,See if GRIR clearing accounts have been maintained there or not. If not then they should be maintained there . Further double click after maintaining account there and there you will have to assign GL account for exchange rate gain and loss . Also check in OBYC the assignment of GRIR clearing account,

Exchange rate problem between GR&IR for PO with account assignment category

ear SAP experts.
We have used expense puchase order through account assignment category.
the cost object include cost center,sale order,order.because we dont use Fixed assets module in SAP,when purchase fixed assets,we also use account assignment category but no need to fill assets number(Not use account assignment category A).
the processing in current system when there is exchange rate difference between GR&IR as follows.
purchase order Currency :USD company code currency:HKD
example 1-- when something purchased into expense account,
Good receipt (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :expense account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR        100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt
Dr : GR/IR         100USD    775HKD
    Expense account            25HKD
CR: Vendor        100USD    800HKD
Example 2-- when something purchased into Fixed assets account,
purchase order :USD company code currency:HKD
Good receipt on Oct .01. 2007 (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :Fixed assets account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR           100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt on Dec.01.2007 (1USD= 8HKD)
Dr: GR/IR              100USD     775HKD
   Fixed assets account                25HKD
Cr: Vendor            100USD     780HKD
The fixed assets is depreciated from Nov,2007.
There is one problem that after the fixed assets is depreciated, the value for the fixed assets is added , the finance clerk have to adjust the added value from fixed assets account to Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account by manual.
Our problem is
How to configure in order to make the exchage rate difference into Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account for purchase order with account assignment category,not the original assigned account in purchase order item.
Many thanks
Fanny

Hi Fanny
Even though the question is bit unclear, I guess you are looking for the T-Code OBYC. Use transaction key KDM for configuring the exchange gain/loss

Exchange rate differecen to be posted to different WBS in forex p/o

Dear Friends,
Pls note my client hv budget allocations in WBS & thru this only the procurement activities are happening. In case of import p/o the exchange rate is displayed by default when you enter the date but when the G/R-IR happens the exchange rate differs and the difference is posted to the respective stock account as per the customization settings. Their requirement is they want the system to post this exchange rate difference to different WBS along with G/L account automatically which they shall create only for this. I tried this OBYC (KDM) but their only the G/L can be assigned & not WBS.
Kindly help if any configuration settings needs are required ?
Thank You
Prashant B.

Hi Shashi,
As per Accounting Standards, the asset must be valued on the exchange rate on the date which risk and reward is transferred from seller to buyer.
For example If the vendor despatch the assets on 01.03.2014 at his place and contract is Exworks then the asset must be valued on exchange rate on 01.03.2014. Lets assume exchange rate on that day is 1USD=60INR. The price is 100 USD. You receive the assets on 10.03.2014 and exchage rate on that day is 55 INR. Now if you make GR on 10.03.2014 Asset value will be 5500 INR whereas as per AS it should be 6000 INR. That is why when you do MIRO the differnce between 6000 and 5500 is posted to asset.
When you do MIRO you must enter currency(USD) in Basic data tab and exchange rate 60 in details tab.
What happens in your system is standard behavior of SAP as well as correct process as per Accounting Standards.
Hope it is clear.

G.Sethuraman

FI Forex gain loss & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency & Chart of Accounts

Dear All,
I have queries on following :
1) what is difference b/w Forex gain loss account & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency account .
2) Under which Heads in Balance sheet they should come as per Indian Accounting Standards.
3) Are these accounts common for Vendor & customers or different.
4) they record FI data at Company code level or at sub-ledger level first (Vendor /Customer) .
4) Is it advised to use same Chart of Accounts to two companies in same country by using different GL's with different FSV?
Regards
MJ

Hi M J,
Please note the answers below:-
1. It is one and the same thing. When you say forex gain/loss account, it means a GL account and exchnage rate difference means, the difference in rates at which you purchased/sold and the rate at which you made paid/collected.
2. Ask Client where they want to show these GL's in Financial statement Version.
3. The configuration setting is in OB09 and SAP allows you to keep same or diff GL for both realised Exchnage rate gain/loss. It depends on how you want to see. technically it is possible.
4. The Valuation is done at company code level, but individual records are picked up at vendor/customer level. It means that the revaluation gain/loss adjustment is not given to each individual Vendor/Customer, rather it is posted to a GL - Balance Sheet adj.
5. Yes, you can use same chart of accounts and you do not need to create separate GL's at the company code level for two company codes. Same GL's can be used as the posting is made at Co. code level.
Regards,
Kavita
Note : Please raise separate thread for different questions. Your Point No. 5 is not related to the rest.

Exchange rate difference while posting ME21N MIGO and MIRO

Hi All,
I am facing one problem with exchange rate type between M and EURX and EURX is maintanined in the SPRO>SAP Netweaver>General Settings>currencies>Check Exchange rate types
EXRT : EURX
Usage    : EMU Reg,fixed
Ref.Curr    : EUR
Buy.ra.at
Sall .Rat.At
Inv
EMU   :X
FIXED
Scenario:
Company(USD) is maintaning Exchange rate type: M and no exchange rates are maintained for USD:EUR or EUR:USD.
Eur is maintaing in Exchange rate type EURX.
1) PO (ME21N) is posting for the Vendor on posting date 01/01/2008. Transaction currency is EUR and company code currency is USD and Quantity : 25000
--> Exchange rate 'M' is not maintained for EUR and values are picking from the EURX Type. In the PO, Exchange rate is picking correctly from the EURX table entries on 01/01/2008.
2) MIGO: GR is posted on 01/25/2008 and with 15000 Quantity. Exchange rate is getting currecly from the table on 01/25/2008.
3) MIRO: IR is posted on 02/15/2008 and Vendor Account is picking correct exchange rate from the table but GR/IR account is caluculations EUR:USD is differntly .
Note: It is not GR based IR.
Ex:
PK AC                DESCRIPTION                    Tran Curr (EUR)    Local Curr USD
31 5004789     Vendor Account                       24,718.48-            38,777.12- USD
86 2525000      A/P-GR/IR NON-INV                24,718.48            38,883.73 USD
91 6584785      SERV-OTHER O/S                    0.00                 106.61- USD
Here GR/IR account is cal dirrently.
4) Credit Memo posted against IR on 03/25/2008. Exchange rate is given while posting CM same as Invoice. But system rate is different. Here also how the GR/IR is calculating is question is it not taking from Table or from any other rate types . Same problem like IR for GR/IR account.
Entry is posted like
PK ACC         Description                            Tran curr(EUR) Local curr(USD)
21 5004789     Vendor                                   24,718.48        38,777.13 USD
96 2525000     /P-GR/IR NON-INV                   24,718.48-      38,892.22- USD
81 6584785     SERV-OTHER O/S                     0.00            115.09 USD
This problem is same like GR and also SPL document is posting differenly for ZG and ZL ledger.
ZL ledger is posting same like Accounting CM document ZG is posting with the different amount . This different amount is nothing but the exchange rate as per the posting date 03/25/2008. Exchange rate on 03/25/2008 is differe from IR date 02/15/2008 .
ZL ledger is calculating based on the 02/15/2008 date and ZG ledger is calculating based on the 03/25/2008 . Difference between Exchange rate entered in the CM and 03/25/2008 table entry rate is showing exchange rate difference field in the Addtional field in the document display.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your helpful answers, actually we are in big export business. So we have to clear 100s of invoice lines with payments at one go, (which obviously being booked at different dates) so it would be very difficult for the user to go one by one invoice.
My concern is, why system does not calculate exchange rate difference based on actual documents, i.e. Invoice to payments only. I think there might be some configuration needed to implement this functionality.
Please help.

Exchange Rate difference posting during MIRO posting

Hi ,
We are facing an issue for exchange rate difference posting during MIRO.
PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date. Vendor in PO has different currency than company code currency. Exchange rate maintained in OB08 for this period is taken in PO.
PO value & GR value is same. Due to raw material cost there was price difference posted during GR posting.
(i.e. Raw material cost - GR/IR value = Price difference amount)
During posting MIGO, 3 accounts got posted.
Raw material cost account got debited & offset credit to GR/IR account & price difference account (in vendor & company code currency also)
During posting MIRO, 4 accounts got posted.
Vendor account got credited with GR/IR amount & offset to GR/IR account debit.
Exchange rate difference account got credited & offset to price difference account (in company code currency only)
Since PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date, then why system has posted exchange rate difference account in local currency only during MIRO posting ?
Your inputs appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
there is a setting in configuration of logistics invoice verification where you can control the calculation and posting of exchange rate differences. If you had the setting active that exchange rate differences are calculated against a planned exchange rate, that might lead to the kind of postings you describe. Please check.
best regards, Udo
