F-44 - Foreign Exchange Issue

Hi All,
When I clear one invoice say 100 USD with payment of 100 USD in f-44, then exchange rate difference line item is getting created and the same is reflecting in FBL1N but when I make partial payment say 75 USD, exchange rate difference line item is getting created but the same is not reflecting in FBL1N.
Full Payment
100 USD Invoice ( @ 50 INR ) 5000
100 USD Payment ( @ 48 INR ) 4800
Exchange Gain A/c Rs. 200/- ( this line item is created in FBL1N and the same is posted in GL a/c )
Partial Payment
100 USD Payment ( @ 48 INR ) 4800
75 USD Invoice ( @ 50 INR ) 3750
Exchange Gain A/c Rs. 150/- ( this line item is not created in FBL1N but the same amount is posted in GL a/c )
Just need to clarify if the above examples with posting are correct.
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Foreign Exchange Gain or /Loss will be caliculated when there are cleared itemsu2026. So when you are making partial payment then the exchange rate gain or loss will not be calculated as no items are been cleared.
Instead use residual payment to view exchage rate diff. postings, in case of partial payment when you make the final payment and when the line items are cleared then you can see the exchange rate gain/loss caliculated.

How to issue currency notes in payment program for Foreign Exchange

HI
I    have an issue in   Foreign exchange transaction using SPOT transaction.   Below is the process flow
1.   Record the spot transaction
2. Settle transaction
3. Tranfer the documents to FI
In   ( 3)   the   posting   create   posting in   the customer for whom the forex is to be issued.
My QUESTION :
I    have to   pay the customer   in   CURRENCY NOTES and NOT   by CHECK    in foreign currency.   The automatic payment program has payment methods viz check, wire transfer.     How do I   issue   CURRENCY NOTES    or TRAVELLERS CHECK .
Thanks for   a   immediate reply.

Hi,
I am not sure this is a right solution. But I have some inputs on your requirements:
1. For traveller cheques you may create a new payment method and do the required configuration for automatic payment program. Don't generate any payment medium while running APP.
2. For currency notes (cash payment) I am not sure how it works. But probably it is possible by creating an account (account ID) for a particular house bank and use that (house bank & account id) for making payment.
Per my knowledge we have never used payment method cash (currency notes) in APP. But logically it would work by create a new payment method and doing the required config for APP.
Please update if you found a better way to do this.
thanks & regards,
Kumar

Valuation of foreign exchange forward with NPV split for interest vs FX impact?

Hello,
I have the following business requirement regarding the accounting treatment of the valuation of a foreign exchange forward deal :
1. during the lifetime of the deal
step1. valuation
          the deal should valued at its NPV using the swap points curve (table AT15) => that gives the "VALUE"
     BUT
step 2. the posting of the deal's value should be SPLIT into TWO components
               a) component 1 = linearly amortized swap points since deal date +2   until valuation date     => to be classified to interest result
               b) component 2 = VALUE - component 1                                                                                => to be classified to unrealized fx result
Comment.
So, in fact it is some hybrid combination of the two SAP standard valuation methods
               a) spot/spot + swap accrual + swap valuation (but NO NPV calculation)
               b) NPV calculation (without any split in components)
2. at maturity
     realized fx result :     calculation based on deal spot rate versus spot rate at maturity
     interest result :          calculation based on deal spot rate vs deal forward rate
Don't see how this "mixted behavior" can be achieved by customizing the valuation process.
Please help.
Best regards,
Carl

Hi Carl,
In order to use the 2step valuation during the lifetime of forex contracts, you need to combine 2 valuation steps in your Position Management Procedure:
1. step 6 Rate valuation for forward exchange transactions: spot-spot
2. step 4 Security valuation
Additonally, if the NPV should be calculated based on swap points from AT15, you need to apply BAdI JBA_SFGDT that is able to adjust TPM60 or/and reports in MRA if needed. See SAP note 0000940562 for details (and also 1941874 for extrapolation issues).
As far as i know, at maturity you can only have 1flow of gain/loss by using standard SAP Solution.

GR/IR clearing - Foreign Exchange Loss

Hi Sap Gurus,
My Company code currency is u201CCADu201D and my Group Currency is u201CUSDu201D. I have maintained GR/IR clearing account as u201Conly balances in local currencyu201D
I have done GR in 2008 for 100 CAD. And I have reversed this GR in 2010.
When I am doing the automatic clearing of GR/IR: System is posting an entry of Revaluation loss (from KDF trans type) DR To GR/IR clearing a/c (for 0 CAD and in GL view it is 129 USD)
BSEG table has been updated only with zero but in FLAGLFLEXA I could see 129 USD updated in grup currency .
My question is u2013
1.) why the system is looking for KDF currency when I have maintained u201COnly balance in local currencyu201D for GR/IR clearing account u2013 is that because I have maintained this GR/IR clearing account in OBA1 i.e. for foreign exchange revaluation ?
2.) If it so, does the OBA1 setting overrides the u201COnly balance in currencyu201D in GL master ?
3.) As this is just a clearing transaction, Is it acceptable to book a FX loss on this transaction ? and that to it is just a reversal of an erroneous entry.

Hi Pavan,
You have maintained this account in OBA1 for KDF, that is why it is showing forex differences. The difference is in Group currency currency and not in your company code currency.
So, no problem.

That amount was not match with the delta exchange rate difference on the date of IR is performed and on the date of GR/IR Clearing is performed.
Can anyone inform me what is the probable cause of this incorrect Forex AP-Current calculation? What is the calculation basis that SAP system use to calculate this automatic Forex AP-Current?
Should you require any additional information, please let me know.

Foreign Exchange fluctuation rate is not showing in case of partial payment

Hi,
In case of foreign exchange collection from Customer through F-28 in partial payment "Exchange Rate Gain" or "Exchange Rate Loss" is not appearing in GL balance simulation or Customer balance report. Only in case of full payment from Customer then "Exchange Rate Gain" or "Exchange Rate Loss" is appearing in GL balance simulation. What is the reason ?
Regards,
Anindita

Hi
Even in the scenario described by you,
You can use both residual and partial payments
here is what would happen for partial /residual payment after you post the payment.
Partial payment
open items
Debit USD 500
Credit USD 200
No cleared items
Residual Payment

Foreign exchange reporting : how to include Inhouse Cash Accounts correctly

Hello,
I want to report the foreign exchange risk position of a mother company (euro based) which is also hosting the inhouse cash center. This means that the foreign currency balances held by the affiliates with the IHC are part of the fx exposure of the mother company. For example, a polish affiliate that has a PLN balance of 1 mio PLN (in favour of the affiliate) means a FX SHORT position for the mother company.
In AISFSS or FTR_DEALPOS you can include Cash Management information. But it makes no sense to include the IHC accounts of the affiliates in the exposure report of the mother company, because the direction of the exposure of the affiliate account is the opposite of the mother company's exposure. i don't want to reprogram CM to inverse the sign.
So, then I thought, ok let' s include the receivables/payables accounts 416xxxx and 439xxx that centralize (via F9HL + F9HI ) the affiliates balances in the FI ledger of the mother company. Unfortunately, these two accounts are not managed in open line item mode. Accountting department does not accept that we cahnge that setting.t The consequence of that being that in the CM grouping I get the countervalue in euro instead of the balances in the respective foreign currencies.
Instead of having the IHC balances aggregated in one Accounts Receivable and one Accounts Payable account, Accounting department would agree to have one G/L account per trading partner/ currency, which would be a perfect reflection of a single IHC account.
I had been told that there would be a T-code (in SAP Inhouse Cash) that allows you to re-split in FI the affiliate balances per currency/trading partner. If this works, then I can pick the currency balances up in original currency via CM grouping.
Does anyone know about this T-code (to split), does anyone have documentation or does anyone have an alternative solution (no ABAP programming).
Thanks a lot for your help.
Carl

Hi,
Yes you can use this report IHC_TOOL_TRAPO (Note number 750700) and do the necessary settings in the corresponding custimizing table. Though I am not sure why you want a separate valuation according to different trading partners. Are they posting to different G/L accounts for different TPs for the account in same currency?
Anyway, you can maintain the setting only for those affialiates having accounts in foreign currency. Also I guess it should be enough if you maintain only for final postings account and not for intermediate postings (provisional) in case if you are having 2 accounts. You can also check in the customizing node mentioned in the previous post - you can use the additional key field and use a custom coding in case if you feel the report is not going to be suffecient.
Regards,
Ravi

Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference

How Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference is calculated for material consumed in product costing / material ledger

You need to go to net price at purchase order in local currency. With quantity you'll get the purchase order total price in local currency.
Get the standard price of material master record (which is in purchase order) on MM03 transaction on costing 2 view.
Purchase price variance is the difference between purchase price order and material standard price.
To get this difference in foreing currency, you´ll need to get document date of purchase order, get exchange rate at OB08 and find both prices in foreign currency; after that get same way the variance.
Hope that helps,

Outlook 2010 has problems dealing with in-line attachment (not an Exchange issue!)

Hi all...
Is there an official way to have this bug looked at?
(Note -- it is *not* the Exchange/PDF bug that has been semi-addressed with the very-recentInterim Update for Exchange 2007...)
If I set up Outlook 2010 to use an IMAP server account (not an Exchange account) and send that account a message from Apple's Mail.app program -- that contains an in-line attachment -- Outlook 2010 displays the e-mail incorrectly.
If I send e-mail using Apple Mail of the form:
<some text>
attachment (and in this case I've tried .pdf, .docx, .xls, etc. -- it seems not to matter what the attachment is...)
<additional text>
<signature>
Outlook 2010 displays the resulting e-mail with a problem:
The received e-mail will look like this
<some text>
then *two* attachments -- the attached file *and* an "Untitled Attachment" that contains the <additional text> and <signature> parts of the e-mail (!)
The reproducible bug (at least here) is that Outlook 2010 should display the remaining text after the in-line attachment within the *body* of the e-mail message.
Again, this is *not* the recent Exchange issue with .pdf files -- this is strictly an Outlook issue.
Any thoughts/help on this one?
- Steve

Hello,
In order to get a better understanding of your issue I have a few questions:
1: You mention that the sending client is an Apple mail application. Do you see this issue when sending from a non-Apple email client?
2: Which version of Apple Mail app are you using?
3: If you send the same mail to an Outlook 2007 or earlier version of Outlook do you see the same issue?
4: What is the format of the Email when being sent from the Apple mail client, is it HTML; Plain Text or Rich Text? Additionally, what happens if you send the same email but change the format.
5: If you send an Inline attachment to the Apple Mail application from Outlook 2010, what happens?
6: As per the Post you are attaching a single Inline attachment with text before and after the attachment before sending the email, but when you receive the mail in Outlook you get two attachments. Are these attachments still inline attachments?
7: The second file attachment; next to the remaining text and the signature does it contain any other text? Like some error added by the server?
9: Instead of .pdf, .docx, .xls file if you send an image as an inline attachment from the Apple mail application, then so you see the issue?
10: If you send the files as normal attachment not inline does everything work?
Below is an article which may be applicable to your issue although it pertains to an earlier version of Outlook:
‘Outlook renders inline message information as an attachment’
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814111
I also came across a user who experience similar issue and they suggested, setting the apple mail application to Always insert attachment at the end of the message.
View->Attachments and select "Always Insert Attachments at End of Message
Let me know what the results are using that setting.
Do let me know if you have any queries regarding the same and I shall try my best to address it as far as possible.

Foreign Exchange accounting in TRM

Dear Experts,
To give you brief intro, i am a finance person and user of SAP Treasury module. my knowledge of the module is of user level and not of functional or technical level.
i need your help on my below query.
for foreign exchange trades (60A), what should be the right accounting practice thru TRM (1) at time of of entering into deal (2) at time of maturity of transaction and also at time of (3) pre mature or part settlement of the transactions.
currently, i do not post any entry at time of creating 60A/102 deal.
at time of maturity, i does cash settlement in deal, put the cancellation rate, date of cancellation in date box to generate gain / loss and post the same (only cash settlement entry) thru TBB1
in case of part or early utilization or forward contract, i does the pre mature settlement from ftr_edit and copy paste 102 deal details in 105 and 103 deals including contract date and value date except for amount. thereafter, i settle both deals and cash settle 105 deal with cancellation rate and transaction date in date box to generate gain / loss. this gain / loss is posted thru TBB1. in this case, when i have taken early delivery, i have to add or subtract swap points in final rate to arrive at correct rate. also, i have to to cash settle 102 and all 103 deals when there's final amount settlement whether on due date or before it.
in my case, buy sale position of two currencies are shown in cashflow tab as "not rel. for posting" and is not posting even on maturity.
i know i have given bit lengthy details but i really wants to understand
1. is above practice of recording fx transaction is correct?
2. is there any better way to capture early deliveries?
3. in case of early delivery, is it right & necessary to replicate 102 deal details in 105 and 103?
4. what is role of TPM18 which i am not using at all in above scheme of fx set up?
your valuable reply will be of great help to me.
Thanking you all in advance
Kapil

Hello Kapil,
Your questions has covered most of FX process.
I'll try to answer few of your question.
Answer 1) The process is correct, Its based on what your company required consultant has customized the system in that fashion, As you said there is not posting even during maturity of deals, that because in customization setting is missing for posting. Incase its required please consult you consultant to make the changes in system for Flow type-(here relevant for posting is unchecked).
Answer 2 & 3, I'm not sure why consultant has suggested to use such a lengthy process to settle early deliver deal, There might be some reason for the same. Please check,
But the same process can also be addressed, throught FTR_edit and settle the single deal through cash settlement.
Also note, 103 is only used for netting which means you are trying to settle couple of deal together and that can be excluded if you have only single deal.
Answer 4) TPM18 is used to do the valuation after the deal has been closed.Realized gains and losses are determined according to single valuation of transactions principle. This is calculated by taking the difference between the forward rate based on the conclusion of the contract and the posted rate on value date.
Let me know in case you need more information.

Jaiin

Report for Unrealized/Realized Foreign Exchange Payments and Receipts

Is there a report in SAP that shows unrealized/realized foreign exchange cash receipts and payments. if yes, what is that report. Please provide transaction code.
If not, do we need to create ABAP query. How do we create that Query in this regard. What information are we required to give the Abap person or do we create an Query ourself. How do we create it. please explain with steps.
It is little urgent. Please reply soon.
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi,
I can try to explain this financial funda more claraly as below:-
Realized Exchnage rate Diffrence Gain/ Loss:-
         When the foreign currency transaction has actually completed and you have gained/lossed due to that transaction is called as realized gain/loss.
         For example you have purchased the goods on 01 Jan, 2008 for 5000 INR (100 USD) on credit. Now on 16th Jan, 2008 you paid the invoice by paying 100 USD and clear it off. But on 16th Jan, the exchange rate between INR: USD came down to 45. So you gained by amount 500 INR (100 USD * (50-45)). This is the realized gain when you clear of the invoice againest the payment.
UnRealized Exchnage rate Diffrence Gain/ Loss:-
         Here the foreign exchange rate diffrence appear but not realized, because the transaction is not cleared up.
         Taking the scenario above, if you do not pay on 16th jan and invoice remains open. You run the F.05 at month end to revaluate the open items and on 31st Jan, the exchange rate came down at 48 INR per USD. Then F.05 will show the unrealized gain of 200 INR (100 USD * (50-48)).
I hope that this clarifies the things. if yes, please assign some points.
Regards,
Gaurav
