Foreign currency transactions

Dear All,
Please advice on how I can be able to pay from a Bank setup as a USD bank to a supplier invoice in GDP in SAP B1 SP2 PL50.
Currently this is what is done:
- Go to outgoing payments and select the supplier whose currency is set up as GBP
-Clicking on payment on account
-click on the payment means bag at the top.
- by default the payment means currency displays just the GBP and the local currency.
- click on the check option
-select a USD bank
- enter the figure to be paid.
when trying to add this transaction I get the message account currency does not match with document currency message comes up.
Regards,
Monil.

Hi Monil,
the easiest way to do this is to have the bank accounts set to multicurrency, then all balances will default back to local currency.  Do you pay your supplier out of you normal bank account? Are there other suppliers you trade with in a different currency?
If you have extensive foreign currency transactions you might wish to have a tighter control on FX rates in relation to your local currency, then you can set up several different monocurrency bank accounts in the application & move cash around from one monocurrency account to another using the method outlined in SAP note 1260658.
All the best,
Kerstin

  • Define lead currency in tx.1 (foreign currency transactions)

    Hi sap gurus,
    we wanna make an foreign currency selling operation in TX.1 (forex fast entry) but we got the following message :
    No currency pair is defined for currencies CAD TRY
    Message no. T7020
    Diagnosis
    There is no currency pair defined for the currencies you have entered.
    Procedure
    Maintain an entry under 'Define lead currency' in the Customizing settings.
    i check the currency customizings

    Hi,
    You have to maintain a leading currency for this currency pair under the configuration:
    financial supply chain management -- Treasury and Risk management --  Transaction manager -- General Settings -- Transaction management -- Currencies -- Define Leading currency.
    In this you have to maintain a value for the currency pair.

  • Foreign Currency Transaction in ECC6

    I want to enter one transaction for selling 100 USD & purchasing INR. Can anybody proivde details as to how to enter transaction in ECC6. What are the requirements for doing the same. Information in details is required
    Vimal

    Hi,
    Normally, I think that the USD 100 which you are holding should be represented in SAP in an account which is with currency USD in the master. (for example, USD FCA account which has USD in the GL master)
    Now there should also be an INR account say, normal current account ( with INR in the master).
    If you sell the USD and get INR, then you should Credit the USD FCA account for 100 USD at the exchange rate you have contracted for and debit the INR current account. The document currency has to be USD.
    Hope this helps

  • How to find transactions in a Foreign Currency

    How can we find all the transactions posted in a Foreign Currency? Is there a specific report for that purpose in SAP?

    Hi Pete,
    I dont think there is any specific report for Foreign Currency Transaction.You can use the Dynamic Selection with Document Currency as the selection field where you fill the Foreign Currencies you are using in the company. Else You can select the Document Currency field from the Change Layout and filter the document list with the forrency currencies.
    This procedure can be done for GL Line Items(FBL3N),Vendor Line Item(FBL1N),Customer Line Item(FBL5N) .

  • Payments in foreign currency

    hi
    when payments made for foreign currency transactions, what postings are made to balnce sheet adjustment account for foreign vendor? how is this account adjusted after payment is made so that true reflection of vendors can be reported.
    tx

    Hi,
    When the revaluation program is run (normally during month end), the foreign currency transactions will get revaluated and the loss/gain gets posted to the B/S adjustment account.
    If the program, in the above step, was run with the "Reverse posting" indicator marked, the documents created in the above step would be reversed automatically on the 1st day of the next month. Thus the adjustment account gets set off.
    If the "Reverse posting" indicator was NOT set, then during the invoice payment, the adjustment entry (from the first step) gets reversed. In the payment document you can find an additional entry that sets off the B/S adjustment account.
    Hope this helps.

  • Foreign currency conversion is wrong in line item report

    Hi All,
    I have a system which went live recently as of 1st of Sept. 2011. Hence my cut off is 31st Aug.2011.
    Now, i have uploaded customer open line items in foreign currency. Hence, at cutover my exchange rate was as per month of Aug. Now when I want to post an incoming payment through f-28 I see a different amount in my local currency i.e INR. The difference is exactly the difference due to change of exchange rate. However, my question is once when a document is posted then why does the system shows the amount in INR as per the next month's i.e sept's exchange rate?
    Can anybody help me on this please?
    Thanks
    Priyanka.

    Priyanka,
    The system is behaving exactly according to accounting principles.  For foreign currency transactions, the exchange rate for translation into local currency should be at the rate on which the business transaction occurs.  Now, you have converted your open items from the old system into your new system as of Aug. 31.  The customer has made the payment (in foreign currency) today.  So it is appropriate from an accounting standpoint to take today's rate to convert the foreign curr amnt into INR.  The resulting difference is your realized exchange rate difference.  You need to book that difference to an exch. rate gain/loss account (that you need to configure in OB09).

  • Why foreign currency valuation is required ?

    Hi.
    I just want to clear my doubt. If we deal with foreign vendors or customers like vendor invoice is done through USD or EUR or GBP but payment is not made till now or customer invoices are done but payment is not received from them in month of August. In that case if we run foreign currency valuation of open vendor invoices and open customer invoices on 31st August it will generate accounting entry and next day i.e, 1st September accounting entry will be reversed. So my question is we have not received from customer and we have not paid to vendor, invoices are still open from customer and vendor side. So if we run foreign currency valuation what will be its actual effect  in the business and if we not run foreign currency valuation what are the problems may arrises because later if we pay to vendor through foreign currency then actual loss / gain effect will arrise in our business scenario.
    Kindly give me reply.

    hi
    As part of the period end process, and in anticipation of creating a period-end financial statement, all accounts held in foreign currency and all foreign currency open items must be re-valued at the period end rate. There are two tools within the SAP ERP Packaged Solution for this purpose:
    Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Balance Sheet Accounts: The program selects every balance sheet account, typically cash accounts, that is held in a foreign currency and re-values the total balance at the currently valid rate.  Any (sterling) exchange rate difference is posted to a realised gains/losses account.
    Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Open Item Accounts: Open item accounts managed in GBP, such as debtors and creditors, may contain foreign currency transactions. The program will individually revalue each open item to determine an overall unrealised foreign exchange gain or loss position.  The realised exchange rate gain/loss is posted when the transaction is cleared.
    It is a statutory requirement  to meet hte FAS52 and GAAP requirements
    thanks

  • Over Payments for foreign currency

    Hi
    We placed a message, that over payments and underpayments does not work for foreign currency business partners. See SAP Note 1068260.
    The SAP Support gave us the feedback, that we can not place a "Missing Funktionality Request" in that case.
    What should we do that our customers can use the SAP Business One properly?

    Hi,
    When the revaluation program is run (normally during month end), the foreign currency transactions will get revaluated and the loss/gain gets posted to the B/S adjustment account.
    If the program, in the above step, was run with the "Reverse posting" indicator marked, the documents created in the above step would be reversed automatically on the 1st day of the next month. Thus the adjustment account gets set off.

    Hi Anamika,
    Go to OB0(Zero)9
    Double click on GL which u have assigned
    Now u will see the Exchange Rate Diff Loss & Gain
    Assign the GL for Loss and GAIN
    I think u have created only one account that is for GAIN, so ur loss and gain will be going to only one GL...
    so if u want to separate then u r required to create another GL for LOSS account and that will be assigned to OB09
    I hope this will resolve ur issue
    IF USEFUL THAN ASSIGN POINTS

  • Foreign Currency rounding off while conversion

    Hi All,
    I am experiencing a scenario while foreign currency conversion.
    I have searched for a solultion but i am unlucky to find one regarding this problem.
    The scenario:
    Example:
    Foreign Curr      |    Value    |       Rate     |     SAP converted Local Curr(Yen)   |    Act Con Value(Y)
    Euro                 |    1210Eur|       127.99Y|     154868Y                                   |   154867(-veRound Off)
    Is there any setting where you can round off the converted amount to its negative whole amount?
    I have searched all the setting in Foreign Currency transactions(OB52,OB59) but couldnt find.
    Hope i can get a solution.
    Regards
    Andrew

    Hi
    Reason and Prerequisites
    u2022Your tax country is Slovakia
    u2022You billed an order with several items in foreign currency,
    u2022where the exchange rate factor between foreign currency and local
    u2022currency is very large or very small.
    u2022The accounting document created during the billing has a tax line item that contains incorrect amounts in local currency
    Solution
    The solution is using the same solution as note 832477 and 32477 with the difference that the country is Slovakia. For other countries you should put the variable L_LAND1 to the string that represent the country.
    Limitations:
    The solution will NOT lead to a recalculation of taxes in local
    currency. However, it will serve to minimise any rounding differences
    which may arise from converting the individual tax lines which are
    transferred from SD to FI. In most practical cases, this should fulfill
    the legal requirements, even though rounding differences may occur for
    individual documents in special cases.

  • Foreign currency on Transaction S_ALR_87012178

    Hello,
    I am from Mexico and our system Local Currency is Peso (MXN) I am running the transaction S_ALR_87012178 for a customer on the US, (invoices are on USD) if I see the detailed section (invoices), it shows me amounts in Local Currency (MXN) and in Foreign Currency (USD) but, if I see the resumed section, I mean, the total amount for each days terms, there I only can see the amounts on Local Currency (MXN). Could anybody help me to find if there is a way to view them on foreign currency? that is the original currency of the invoices.
    Thank you in advance
    Regards.

    Hi, Enrique
    if you use summarization level 6, the parameter "OI sorted list sorting" is always set to 1. This means that the items are listed in local currency only when you use this summarization level. The reason is that a summarization level 6 causes a single-line list output. This means that customer number, sorting field and list data are all issued in one line. Since one line has only 132 characters, there is just not enough space for the curreny. Note 769338 has some very useful information you can refer to.
    I hope this helps.
