Account determination - exchange rate and valuation

Hello All,
we have a problem concerning our account determination for differences in exchange rate and valuation. When clearing open vendor items in foreign currency, a percentage of the difference goes to our exchange rate difference account (correct), but the other part of our difference goes to the account we have configured for valuation (incorrect).
Before, we had, in "Account Determination for OI Exch.rate differences" (transaction FBKP) , the following configuration for all our accounts in foreign currency:
Exchange rate difference realized:
Loss: 66800000
Gain: 76800000
Valuation
Val Loss: 66800100
Val Gain: 13600000
Bal sheet adj: 40099999
Now, we have the same accounts,except for "Bal sheet adj", for which we have 5 different accounts depending on the account to be valued. This change shouldn't have any effect, but since then, every time we clear an open item (KR and KZ), one part of the difference goes to an exchange rate difference account, while another part goes to valuation, when this last account should only be used when running F.05.
Any help?
thanks
Daniel

Asha,
Revaluation is a 2 step process - In the first step, the documents entered in FC are converted into LC and then in the second step all the LC is converted into GC using the GAAP/Quarterly Rate.
During the first step, the difference is posted to a P/L Account and during the second step, the difference is posted to a B/S Account.
Coming to the open item clearing getting posted to the same accont defined in the step 1 - I would ask how are you doing the open item clearing ?
If it's manual through F-44, then i would say the accounts you are mentioning during clearing are wrong.
If it's through Payment Run, You would have to go FBZP -> Bank Selection and then check the g/l accounts mentioned over there.
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
Nandita

  • In FBl5n (after accounting process) exchange rate gets change

    Dear Experts ,
    I am  facing 
    issue regarding in FBl5n (after accounting process) exchange rate
    gets change.
    Due to this, there is a difference in billing
    amount.
    According to the KBA 1481328, If there is a manual entry in
    the sales order field VBKD-KURRF (Goto -> Header -> Accounting),
    then it is copied into VBRK-KURRF. Otherwise VBRK-KURRF is determined during
    invoice creation from the currency tables (Transactions: OB08, OB07 and
    OB22) according to the billing date.
    It is supposed that manual entry has higher priority.
    Why system is
    fetching the exchange rate from OB08 when manual entry has first priority?
    Kindly Advice.
    Regards,
    Shachi

    First of all, you got the KBA number wrong. It is a KBA 1481238 - How are different exchange rates (Price, FI postings and Conditions) determined in billing documents, not SAP Note 1481328.
    Now, if you manually change the exchange rate in sales order(SO - Goto - Header - Accounting), as per standard this will not be able impact your pricing. As the system always uses the local currency to convert currencies.
    For further detail refer SAP Note 123298 - Euro: Conversion of document currency in sales&distribution. That can be helpful in understanding the standard behaviour and solution to the same.
    In addition to that from Sales Order to Billing, we have copying control field for "Price Exchange Rate Type" which can impact the result for exchange rate determination. Where the option available are:
    A - Copy from sales order
    B - Price exchange rate = Accounting rate
    C - Exchange rate determination according to billing date
    D - Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
    E - Exchange rate determination according to current date
    F - Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered

  • BILLING TO ACCOUNTING - FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE IN THE PAST

    Hi All,
    1.     In FI, we are maintaining translation rates on regular basis and the translation (FI)/ pricing (SD) date is our reference in SD transactions from Contract to Billing.
    2.     In Contract, we maintain foreign currency, exchange rate, and pricing date.  Here in the contract, we are currently billing an item in the past using exchange rate in the past as well.
    3.             However, when we pass this to billing, pricing date is updated on its current date.
    4.             Because of this, accounting entry that was recognized was also translated on current date.
    Is there any way that we can change the pricing date to the Billing Document so that the accounting entries will pick up translation rates maintained in the past.  Please advise.

    The issue was resolved by also maintaining exhange rate inside SO/Contract in "Exchange-Rate Accounting" field.

    Hi,
    Refer the below thread
    [Re: Accounting entries for Foreign currency revaluation..Accounting entries]
    From Vendor perspective :
    If the monthly valudation is there then the entries will get posted against "Unrealised Gain  / Loss Account" with posting to "Balance Sheet Readjustment Account" also.
    And if the final payment to be made to Vendor then the entry will get posted to the "Realised Gain / Loss account"

    When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed.  You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

    I would like to determine exchange rate type in shipment costs document, but I don't want to do it manually.
    Can anyone please give me a hint on how to do it?
    Thanks & Regards

    System will determine the exchange rate type based on value maintained in exchange rate table.Tcode OB08.
    It will post the difference if any in the GL mentioned in transaction event key KDM in tcode OBYC.

  • UDF for Exchange Rates and Indexes window

    It would be great to have an additional field in the Exchange Rates and Indexes window for every currency to store string title of the exchange rate table from a national bank. It could be also satisfied by allowing to create an UDF for this window. In Poland this is a tax law requirement.

  • Automatic posting accounts for exchange rate difference.

    Guys,
    My clients wants to write a check in GBP pound sterling, and for that I set up house bank for GBP and did all the  other configuration steps in FBZP.We successfully printed out the check thru F110.Now when we try to mark the check as "encashed" thru FCHR,The  log says 1 check selected and marked as encashed but no posting docunments get generated as system shows an errored out session,I looked into SM35,the job log says" exchange rate difference accounts are incomplete for acount 161511 currency GBP".System takes me to OB09 which is account determination for Ol Exch.rate differences.Should I update a/c 161511 here? Please  note account 161511 is not a foreign currrency account.Its main cash bank account(US$ account) which I set up in House bank FI12.So in OB09 I dont see that account 161511.Wht should I do ?System also takes me to OBA1-maintain FI configuration Automatic posting. DO I need to do something in here too ? Please advice.Thanks
    Regards
    Iqtidar

    In OBA1 > Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct
    Check the example below.
    Chart of Accounts     xxxx
    G/L Account          < GBP A/C from which you are paying >
    Ex Rate Realized
    Loss                 P&L - Ex Loss Realized A/c < 830301>

    Val.gain 1           P&L - Ex Gain A/c Unrealized <720202>
    Bal.sheet adj.1     For. Currecy Reserve < 520501>
    Translation (similar to valuation)
    Loss                 830302
    Bal.sheet adj.loss   520501
    Gain                 720202
    Bal.sheet adj.gain   520501
    Is this what you were after? The logic behind different GL postings should be able to explained by a person with an accounting background. Do let me know if you have any specific questions.

  • Determining Exchange Rate type

    Hi
    For a export customer we have made a copy of exchange rate type M and named it as E
    In Ob08 the direct and indirect rate for E has been maintained and in customer master and accounting document configuration too E has been maintained
    During generation of accounting document the rate determined by the system is not of E but of M
    The validity of E is greater than that of M but still system  is determining  rate as per entry maintained for M
    Can anyone please suggest what should be done
    Thanks and Regards

  • Exchange rate and GST round off differences

    Hi,
       When we create a invoice with tax then some times the vendor invoice tax amt may differ from the tax amt calculated by our system. This may be due to the rounding differences. So how to handle these kind of payments?
    Can any one pls explain me the procedure for handling the exchange rate differences.
    Thanks,
    Sravanthi.

    Dear Sravanthi,
    The difference is not because of the rounding off. Rounding off differnce come only till nearest rupee. And that is acceptable. But in your case I think the difference is coz of the exchange rate maintained in the system. If you maintain the exchange at which the vendor invoice is preapared then i think ur problem may get resolved.
    Also execute F.05 - Valuation of open items in foreign currency, before you run the payment transaction.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Incorrect Account Determination on Foreign Currency Valuation

    Dear SAP Expert,
    Kindly your help about my issue:
    My company code using parrarel curreny,
    1. Company Code Currency (10) -- USD
    2. Hard Currency (40) -- IDR
    I already complete all customizing for Revaluation such as; OBA1 for gain loss realized and Valuation Gain loss and B/S adjustment.
    My Question is, why system keeping give me an error incorrect account determination even i already maintained it.
    and i check it closely to the error, and system say i must maintain translation gain and loss (LSTRA and LSTRV field in OBA1), i juts dont get the point why i need maintain that... because I only revaluation on Company code currency not in Hard Currency (2nd Local Currency)
    the thing getting more tricky when i try it in quality system with the same setting and transaction the quality system not show the error message like in the production.
    the exist  transaction have USD, IDR, EUR, GBP currency.
    Please your advise
    Thanks and regards
    Rian

    Dear All, thanks for all your replies...
    First of all, yes this is open item account. and i already maintain in OBA1 for open item account
    I already maintained:
    Realized Gain and Loss:
    - Gain and Loss (already defined)
    Evaluation
    - Evaluation Gain and loss and Balance Sheet (already defined)
    Translation
    -N/A (not defined because we just only revaluation on company code currency not hard currency/group currency)
    but i don't maintain translation gain and loss in OBA1 because we just only revaluation on company code currency...
    the system show me error to maintain translation account gain and loss and balance sheet in PRD
    but in the QA not show me anything and the system worked well, (with the same scenario and transaction in Production, of course i already checked the OBA1 between QA and Production)
    The Question are:
    1. Why I need maintain Translation Gain and loss even i just revaluation on company code currency?
    2. I still wonder why i should maintain translation gain and loss in PRD but not need in QA even in the same transaction and setting
    Acctually, if the error message tell to maintain Translation Gain and loss field... yes i will do it in PRD but i need the reason...
    Thank and regards

    Hi,
    Yes. it has to be in unchecked mode.i regret the same.
    SAP Help wording 'Purchase order with account assignment (KBS)
    You cannot assign this transaction/event key to an account. It means that the account assignment is adopted from the purchase order and is used for the purpose of determining the posting keys for the goods receipt.

  • G/L Account Determination - Variance - Expense and Stock Account

    Hi All,
    Under G/L Account Determination -> Purchasing tab -> General tab the last account is called "Expense and Stock Account", in some versions the same is called "Variance Account - Expense and Stock Account". In the help file and on the SAP Portal it is explained to be used as:
    "Define a variance G/L account for clearing journal entries created by A/P credit memos that were based on A/P invoices or created by goods return that were based on goods receipt POs, in which the freight charges or the price were changed."
    I'm trying to test this but recreating the scenarios described above the account will not be used. Can anyone help me what am I missing?
    Thanks and regards,
    Nat

    Hi ShriX,
    I understand but my problem is when I'm testing these scenarios, in my test system the account is not used at all. For example I have an AP Invoice and when I turn it to an AP Credit Memo I change the price of the item. I would expect a posting to this account as it is specified in the help file, but in my case it doesn't happen. Do you know why?
    Thanks and regards,

  • Exchange rate and PO printing form

    Hi Experts
    I hale problem with PO printing form. 
    I have to add one field to layout. Itu2019s exchange rate. We have price condition defined in inforecord  in USD. This price is change to local currency, and based on this system calculated value of the item, and pots it to EKPO-NETPR.
    I know that exchange rate is visible in deep structure DOC-XTKOMV[1]-KKURS when function module ME_PRINT_PO of printing program is execute.
    I think then it should be moved to KOMVD, when item data are printed, but when I add to form &KOMVD-KKURS& itu2019s printing nothing.
    Why exchange rate is not print?  How to stop debugger when system try to fulfilled variable &KOMVD-KKURS& ?
    Thanks
    Pawel

    In EKKO-WKURS I have always value 1.0 because document currency is locals. Foreign currency is only in price condition value.
    So the question is still open...
