Activatate second local currency(Group currency)

hi Experts ,
I am going to activate activate second local currency(Group currency) on the current company [ which i close 2 years on it ]
i face serious problem to evaluate the amount has been entered for the previous year is there any to way to evaluate it .

Hello Emad,
To avoid many future trouble, it will be a nice idea to activate group currency at the beginning of a financial year. Acitivate at country level (OY01) and at co.code level(Ob22). Also make sure to clear all open items before activating.
How to evaluate the historical data after activation of group currency needs to be tested.Adding a new currency needs depth analysis about the impact to various modules. Pl see the note-399919 which details the process for maintaining additional currencies.

Sam

Realized exchange rate difference in local and group currency

Hi Friends,
For a company code with local currency as Euro and group currency as USD, the setting in TR code OB22 for group currency is: Translation taking first local currency as a basis. When the open items are cleared, SAP posts difference in local currency and group currency. Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD. The realized exchange difference is posted in Euro but it is not converted from Euro to group currency. Instead, system just calculates difference in group currency by comparing the value in group currency at the time of original transaction and when the transaction is cleared. Does anyone have dealt with such requirement and is there a way to be able to translate realized exchange differences from local to group currency?
Thanks and regards,
Pinky

>Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD.
Can you explain, it's because of your settings or because of SAP?

Hard currency is not valuated in FAGL_FC_VAL along with local and group currency

Hi All,
I have the below system settings for FOREX revaluation. The revaluation is not happening for Hard currency along with local and group currency. The test data and other settings seams to be fine as the below mentioned workaround works perfectly for hard currency revaluation.
I would like to take your expert feedback on this issue to confirm whether this is how SAP works or its an issue with FAGL_FC_VAL program.
System Settings:
Currencies in company code
local currency      group currency      hard currency
10                             30                         40
USD                          USD                    UYU
FOREX settings:
Work around found:
Define two Valuation area, say
1. Valuation Area: A1 which will have currency type 10 and 30.
2. Valuation Area: A2 which will have only the currency type 40.
3. Run FAGL_FC_VAL twice for these area.
Issue with this work around:
1. The valuation area is assigned to one accounting principle (which is in turn assigned to a specific ledger).
2. Thus, if I have different accounting FOREX process to be followed in different ledgers (say IFRS ledger, Local Ledger, Tax ledger) then I need to create 2 valuation area (as per above workaround) for each ledgers and run FAGL_FC_VAL for each of these valuation areas.

Currency Translation from local to group currency in AP /AR

Hi Gurus,
I have reporting requiremtents where in i need to show KF;s in local and group currency. I am using standard extractor AP_4 and AR_4. These extractors does not bring KF's in Group currency but only in local and document currency.
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to go about carrying out the currency translation from local to glocal currency for AP and AR.
Thanks in advance and yeah points guranteed for helpful answers...
Cheers..
Sam

I take it you mean the extra currency in the company code config (ie group reporting)
Just unhide the fields DMBE2 and HWAE2 from the extract structure and allocate a new infoobject to them - then add to eith your transformation or transfer rules/update rules and add to the cube

0fi_gl_6 - available local and group currency

Hi,
I have a problem with DataSource 0fi_gl_6. I need to consult accumulated balance in local
and group currency. I know in GLT0 this information is available.
In spite of this I could not see them when I load it in BW.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Dear Ana, Dear Catherine
Maybe I come a bit late now, but I faced the same issue this afternoon.
Datasource 0FI_GL_6 is still in version 3.x. So it seems that you need to create two different Infopackages for the initialization of the delta, one selecting Currency Type 10 and one for Currency Type 30. The Delta-update infopackage will update the selection automatically once the system is initialized.
Maybe 1st check in RSA3 in the sourcesystem if the extractor gives any data for your selection. 2nd create the 2 Initialization Infopackages. Then 3rd open the infopackage, go to 'Scheduler' --> 'Initialization options for source systems' and delete the old entry for 0FI_GL_6. 4th go to RSA7 in the source system and verify if the entries are really gone; if they're not gone, delete them manually. Then run both infopackages. From now on, the delta update will update for both, Local and Group currency.
I hope this helps

Amount in document currency & group currency is different

dear all,
In my company i have been activated material ledger & parallel currency. I want to make sure is my setting is correct or not and i want give the example:
Material master data:
MAV material :
Company code currecny : 20000 IDR
Group currency : 2 USD
Purchase Order (foreign currency)
PO currency : 2 USD
Qty order : 10 PC
Result of FI document on GR transaction(Exchange rate : 9000):
Document Currency
Inventory 22,22 USD 200000 IDR
GR/IR 20 USD 180000 IDR
ML 2,22 USD 20000 IDR
Group Currency
Inventory 20 USD 200000 IDR
GR/IR 20 USD 180000 IDR
ML 20000 IDR
My assumption, calculate to get amount inventory in document currency & group currency is different,
Document currency:
Previous MAV (IDR) * Qty GR
Current Exchange rate
Group Currency :
Previous MAV (USD) * Qty GR
My question is it correct, amount in document currency & group currency is different. If not correct there is other config to setting that.
Thanks for your help..

see if you have maintain the PO in the some other currency and your local currency is different from the Po currency and if you have maintain in the excahnge rate for the same then the system will calculate the price in both currency and yoy can choose 1SAP Amount in document and local currency and if you want to display in the group currency then maintain the exchange rate and craete the layout and save that you can display in that cureency while you do the invoice the system will show the accounting documents in that way on chossing the correct layout.

Unable to clear GL due to Val difference between Local and group currency.

hi,
We have an open item managed Revaluation G/L account in our company code which has a local currency USD.There are some documents posted to this account in both USD and CAD. But when we analyze the docs posted in CAD we found a valuation difference in the local currency(USD) and the Group currency(again USD). I am not sure of the reason for this. But due to this difference we are unable to clear this account. Please let me know if anyone can think of how to clear this particular GL account.

We have an issue even with document currency in USD. there is a valuation difference between Local currency (USD) and Group currency (USD).
For example:
Doc currency = 0 USD
Local Currrency = 171,000 USD
Group currency = 0 USD
Because of this I am not able to clear the account. Not sure why there is a difference inspite of the same currency. I try to clear it in F-04 but I get the below error:
Posting is only possible with a zero balance; correct document
Message no. F5060

Difference in Local currency and Group currency Balance

Hi,
I have a query where ...
Company code has 2 currencies ;Group currency is USD and Document Currency is GBP
This GL account is zero balance account . It has alredy set up in Document spitting customization setting
Through FB03 normal view we can see the zero balance but while displaying the document general ledger view with option of group currency ; it is showing zero balance for the local currency and balance amount for group currency USDu2026
Can I get any suggesion where should I need to check for this?
Thanks in Advance

Hiten,
We are on ECC6.0. For us the problem is ongoing production orders.
Based on SAP notes about excluding zero balance orders from settlement process, I tried to close such orders but system does not allow it as it sees the parallel currecy balance.
Thanks,
Sanjay Wagh

Is possible to see group currency data in SAP provide report or query ?

Dear experts:
Is possible to see group currency data in SAP provide report or query for Assets. When the Depreciation area currency is different with the group currency?
My SAP version is ECC 6.0.
Depreciation area currency: USD,
Company code currency: USD,
Second local currency: Group currency(TWD)

You must have defined an additional dep area for group valuation too.
then only you can get the asset values in TWD curency.

Company code currency balance not equal Group currency balance

Dear experts,
Some of our account balances are inconsistent bewteen the company code and the group amount. This company has the same currency in both the company code and group currrencies which are USD. The exchange quotation is also setup in OB08 with 1 in both dir / indir quote. Below is an example for a HKD expenses with a HKD AP account.
GL accounts setup with same currency as company code / group currency.
Exchange quotation setup in OB08 for HKD to USD is dir.qut. 7.8 and indir.quot 7.8.
After translation, the result supposed to be,
In Document currency, Dr expenses HKD780, Cr AP HKD780
In Local currency (company code currency), Dr expenses USD100, Cr AP USD100
In Group currency, Dr exepnses USD100, Cr AP USD100
However, the current result is,
In Document currency, Dr expenses HKD780, Cr AP HKD780
In Local currency (company code currency), Dr expenses USD100, Cr AP USD100
In Group currency, Dr exepnses USD110, Cr AP USD110
The amount in local and group currency should be the same supposedly as they are in the same currency.
Have anyone ever experienced the same situation?

Thanks all,
I have checked that both 1st local currency (company code currency) and 2nd local currency (group currency) are USD.
Our user also didn't change the group currency amount during data entry as there seems no way to alter the amount as it is greyed out.
Is there any other configuration or system flow that may be configured to post these 2 currency amount in a different way of translation?

Alternate Exchange Rate Type Not Picked while converting from Document Currency to Group Currency

Hello Gurus,
We have setup an alternate Exchange Rate type MNB for rate M for the postings happening in Hungary. Local currency is HUF. Group currency is USD.
If the document currency is, lets say, EUR, latest MNB rate is correctly picked up (EUR to HUF) and postings are correctly converted into local currency (HUF).
Although, for the same document, when a group currency is being calculated (EUR to USD), exchange rate type M is being picked up. Same happens if document currency is HUF. Even then, the conversion is based on exchange rate type M.
Is this a normal SAP behavior? How to prevent/correct this? This is also throwing off balances when we check in FAGLB03 or BSEG values in local and group currencies. In OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M and we may not want to make any changes there as it is setup at global level.
Do we need to run any valuations after the fact? if so, how?
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
You mentioned that "in OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M". Then, I'm wondering how MNB is picked up for the first local curr. conversion to HUF? It should be 'M' instead. There must be some settings in your instance for such behavior. Can you check that?
Actually, Group Curr. conversion happens with the rate defined for 2nd Loc.Curr.in OB22 which is 'M' in your case. Therefore, all the transactions are converted with M instead of MNB.
Since you can't change OB22 per global co.policy, the exch.rate defined in OBA7 will overrule OB22. However, you've to make sure it's set up for all doc.types which are affected and posted in different curr. than HUF.
As a workaround, another thought would be to maintain the same conversion rate for both exch.rate types MNB & M, for eg. HUF > USD rate is the same both exch.rate type MNB & M. This way, you ensure all transactions are posted with correct exch.rate irrespective of whatever rate type is used.
From business, & global org. perspective, I'm sure they are sending the 'M' exch.rates to all their sister concerns monthly, so they would like to consolidate results as per standard rate in their system. Then, why ,as a local company, would you like to fiddle with standard process? It's a management decision, please run them through again before going ahead.
Thanks,
Nirav

May be translation ration is wrong. Please check translation ratio using the below path.

Balance Carryforward Group Currency

Hello,
We have a company code that uses two currencies - Local and Group Currency. We transferred the balances from 2007 to 2008 using transaction code FAGLGVTR, but when we display the account balances that have been transferred, there are only entries in the Local Currency field. The Group Currency is zero. Also when we run transaction F.01 (Balance Sheet/PL) for that company code and specify group currency (30) for the currency type, we do not get any values.
When we display the relevant account using FAGLL03 (or FBL3N) and pull in Loc Curr 2 (for group currency) into the layout, there are values for 2007, but we have no idea why these group currency values do not show up in the 2008 balance sheet after the carryforward.
Any ideas on what the issue may be?
Thanks

How to get historical currency rate for second group currency transactions in Fixed Assets

Hello,
My client had MXN (Mexico Currency) as a legal currency and when the company code was implemented (went live) group currency was not implemented. After 3 years this company code implemented second local currency as USD and is now a USD functional Company. When Fixed assets movements such as depreciation, retirement etc are posted; the postings in local currency is fine but postings in group currency is not fine the reason is the exchange rate for group currency must be 'historical rate" but instead of that the entries are being posted in "current rate". To rectify this issue we need to set the exchange rate as the historical rate. Now my question is where/how can I get the historical rate (rate when asset was acquired/purchased). When the assets were acquired the amount was in MXN and there was no maintenance of USD exchange rate as there was no second local currency so then how can I get the historical exchange rate for USD. Most of the assets were acquired/purchased before 5-10 years then how can I find the USD exchange rate for those periods.
Thanks,
Rinki

It is necessary yo have a different rate type for average. The month-end rate type cannot be used.
The M-rate type is typically the month-end rate.

Second Local currency deletion

Hello guys,
My client has defined 2 local currencies for a company code into FI-GL (ECC6). This company is productive and some documents have already been recorded...
The second local currency type is "50" and I want to delete this 2nd local currency, do you know the consequences and procedure for that? Do you know any OSS forbidding this deletion?
Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards
Pascal

You can delete the 2nd local currency any time as it won't impact your future transactions but you can not remove this from the documents which have already been posted in your system and recorded in the tables. SAP generally operates in following currencies:
00 : Transaction Currency
10: Company Code Currency
30: Group Currency
40: Hard Currency
50 : Index Currency
60 : Global Company Code Currency
You will find this setting at top node of you configuration where you assing additional currency to your country. Once this is done you assign this currency in the ledger node of New Gl. Here you will find a node to assign 'Currencies to the leading ledgers'. You can delete additional currency from this config node and then post new entries and test. I advise to di this in your sandbox environment.
Hope this helps
