Addl LC Activated, No Exchange Rate Differences Posting on AP Invoice

We set up a new Company Code for India. The CoCode is configured as USD. We have configured INR as an Additional Local Currency (LC2) for statutory reporting. The INR is configured as 'Hard Currency'.
Since going live, we've come to learn that paying USD invoices is not generating INR exchange gains/losses with changes in exchange rate between INR and USD. When I look at a clearing document, both lines are posted at the historical invoice exchange rate.
For the statutory accounting to be correct, I would have expected the AP payment document to clean the vendor line at the invoice exchange rate and the offset line to post at the current exchange rate. I would have then expected a third line to the payment document with the offset to exchange gain/loss. The exchange gain/loss line would post with a USD amount zero with an INR amount in the Hard Currency/LC2 field.
I believe the Open Item configuration (TransCode OBA1, KDF item) is correct. The Currency Type is 'BLANK'; therefore, good for all Currency Types including the Hard Currency.
I can't figure out what the heck I'm missing! Anyone have any idea why the clearing AP invoice is not generating the exchange gains/losses as expected?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Gordon,
When you say
"With this version, you probably have very few options"
Does this mean with SAP B1 2007 the same problems are not there.
Please say its so and i'll upgrade immediately as I'm experiencing the same problem as the one described above by Claudio
We use one exchange rate per month. We have BP accounts whose currency is Multi Currency this is where the customer would pay either in LC (KES) or SC (USD).
The problem occurs when running conversion differences, the journal entry to the unrealized exchange gain\loss is one-sided i.e. only the SC currency is posted.
This leads to both the P&L and the Trial balances being wrong.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

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.

Exchange rate difference posting in parallel currencies

Hello experts,,
We are on ECC 6.
When we enter an invoice with MIRO and the current exchange rate differs from that in the PO, the exchange rate differences in local currency and in parallel currency (group currency) post to different accounts.
Is this a standard feature / behavior? If so, where can i find the settings.
Shouldn't the postings in all currencies (except doc currency), in the event of exchange rate difference post to the same account?
The material ledger is not active.
We have maintained 3 different currencies.
Example to illustrate -
DC = JPY
LC = SGD
GC = USD
PO for asset.
PO value = 10000 JPY
Ex rate not fixed in the PO.
Ex rate at PO -
100 JPY = 1.6 SGD
100 JPY = 0.85 USD
Ex Rate at IR
100 JPY = 1.7 SGD
100 JPY = 0.9 USD
When IR is entered,
The exchange rate difference of 10 SGD (@ 0.1 per 100 JPY) is posted to the asset. No posting in USD (though there is a balance of 5 USD).
At clearing (Transaction FB1S - GL account clearing) the exchange rate difference (in GC only, because no balance in LC) of 5 USD (@ 0.05 per 100 JPY) is posted to the Exch. rate difference GL acct.
Thanks in advance for your advice/solution.

Exchange rate difference posting deactivate in MIRO

Hi
Exchange rate difference posting is active, I do not want
to post to this account, How to deactivate this.
Shoudl i change in the config under invoice verification - How to treat exchange rate diff ? will it create any other problem ?
Pl Suggest.
RRS.

Dear RRS,
Please note following things
To enter invoice in foreign currency following settings must be done in SAP system.
1. You must have defined the currency you are using to enter the invoice
2) You must configure an exchange rate of foreign currency & local currency in customization
3) You can define diffrent rate for diffrent time period
For a PO in foreign currency you can decide whether the rate from the PO to convert the foreign currency to the local currency at GR or IV.
If you fix exchage rate in PO then you can change it at GR or IV.
If the exchange rate is not fixed the system uses the current exchange rate at GR.In IV the system also suggest the current exchange rate as exchange factor but you can change it.

Exchange rate differences posting failed due to manual journal entries

when i run exchange rate differences and try to post the result, system shows "No matching recording found 'journal entry' (OJDT) (ODBC-2028) [message 131-183]" at the bottom panel ane the posting was failed. then i found the problem is actually from manual journal entries made to a business partner. as long as i deselect the manual journal entries, the posting was successfully done.
i am using B1 2007B with pl09. is this standard in B1 2007B that exchange rate differences posting does not work with manual journal entries of BP?

you are right! it is a bug in 2007B.
The posting has no problem if the base reference number is same as the transaction number in the manual JE document. however, if we define a numbering series which is different from the transaction serial number, then we have problem with the posting. System searchs for the JE records by using base reference number as transaction number. That is why it could not find the JE document and then report the error message.
so, where should i post the bug to SAP and let them fix the bug as soon as possible?
thanks for the help!

Here are my questions:
1.) Where would I check the setting for the GL account used in the automatic line entry posted in group currency during IR? (3rd line item above)
2.) Can this be changed? Say instead of the original acct assignment, the management want to change it to FX gain/loss account
3.) How?
I have checked several notes (331910,etc) but I can't seem to find the answers to my questions.
Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Dru

Just an update to this issue- I just found out that the system is pointing to KBS when posting the
exchange rate difference in group currency upon IR, hence, PO account
assignment is adopted. I'd like to rephrase my question- is there any
way we can change SAP behaviour such that it will point to other
transaction key (e.g. KDG) other than KDM? Bottomline is we want it
charged to other GL account not the one in the PO.
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Dru

I would like to know what can lead to difference in scenario that in one case system is calculating difference and posting and in the other case no.
Please help.

Dear All,
Let me elaborate the scenarion in more deatil:
We post Foreign Currency Invoice LIV--MIRO say rate is 41 USD/INR
For payment F110 No Exg rate differences is selected in FBZP--So no Exchange Rate Difference is posted for payment.
Now for clearing the bank Sub account Entry posted by APP user input LIV Exg rate in past and systen allowed to clear with no Exg rate Differ.This is OK.
Now when user try to clear same account with same entry system is issue msg like No Exg Rate diss account maned.I tried to clear th GL document with both LIV and APP exchage rate its strange that is each case system expects Exchange rate diff account.
I maintained in FBKP KDB in development client but then Exg Rate diff is getting posted which is not the requirement.
Can any body please help.

Exchange rate differences posted when clearing but not FAGL_FC_VAL

Hello,
I need to configure accounts for exchange rate differences for clearing, but I if I configure just "account for Realized Exchange Rate Losses" and not " Account for Loss from Valuationu201D in OBA1, the account is selected in month end valuation ( FAGL_FC_VAL) and I do not want it because it ends on error.
Do you know how to cover this requirement?
Cheers

Hi,
You can exclude the account in the the forex reval run by excluding the GL account by specifiying the account in the variant used for period end processing.
Or you can use valuation area for period end processing in FAGL_FC_VAL and configure based on which the account if not maintained in the valuation area would not post.

Exchange rate difference posted to document currency instead of local

Dear Gurus,
When I post in MIRO (invoice receipt) for a Service Order, there is exchange rate difference. But instead of posting the exchange difference to local currency (SGD), the system is posting the rate difference to document currency (USD). The SO is created for a asset.
Kindly assist me on how I can post the difference to the local currency.
Thank you.

I found out that the user did an invoice verification using MIRO. So the posting was debit vendor acct, credit GR and credit asset. But after this the user did a reverse (MR8M). The reversal was only done for the invoice the asset posting was not reversed by MR8M. So when the user posted the invoice again in MIRO, the system tried to debit vendor, credit GR & debit asset.
Kindly enlighten me on why this is happening & what I need to do in order to post the invoice again so that the system debit vendor acct, credit GR and credit asset.
Thank you.

Posting of Exchange rate differences in parallel currencies

Hello,
1. You have to assign Forex GL's for the reconciliation accounts in OB09.
2. At the time of payment for incoming invoices, system can read the valuation differences and it will post to Realized Gain/Loss accounts and B/S adjustment account.
3. You can consider this amount to issue bonus to your customers.

Dear expert,
I'm facing a problem and need your guidance related to exchange rate differences between Goods Receipt and Invoice verification caused by time differences
My company buy an asset using purchase order with account assignment.
As an example:
Asset price on PO      : 100 USD

Journal created
Asset                             900,000 Rp
     GR/IR Clearing                900,000 Rp
On Invoice verification (Exchange rate 1 USD = 10,000 Rp)
Journal created
GR/IR Clearing                  900,000 Rp
Asset                               100,000 Rp (Exchange rate differences)
    Vendor                             1,000,000 Rp
My Company wants to put "Exchange rate differences" into separate account (Gain/Loss realized account) instead throw it on asset because asset value would be change. How make it happend?

Hi Uma,
Exchange Rate has been defined both the end. Like INR = USD and USD = INR.
Here you are not yet defined GL account for Exchange Rate Difference account (Gain or Loss).
T.Code OB09 Define G/L , Currency and Currency Type.
Before that you would have the GL account please create in FS00.
Hope it will help you.

Exchange rate difference KDM in MIRO - cost center used

We have recently testing to setup KDM Exchange rate difference posting in LIV and encounter the problem of cost center cannot be determine for PO with account assignment A (For asset) and P (for Project).
The question is how does the system determine the cost center for the exchange rate different account? It doesn't take the default cost center from the configuration in OKB9 but extract the cost center from PO Account Assignment - for Asset Account assignment, there is no cost center in PO and thus it is giving a error of 'Field Cost Ctr is a required field....'
Any help appreciated.

Dear Murali: Yes, GL account is maintained in OBYC for KDM transaction, I am following the OSS note 980402 for the setup (ECC6 system). The GL account say is 60000005. In OB09, we have maintained the entry for this account 60000005 to have a default cost center (e.g. 1000). This cost center does not get defaulted when MIRO posting is done with exchange rate difference. Instead, the cost center is obtained from the PO (e.g. the account assignment in PO have cost center 5000). But for certain account assignment (e.g. 'P' for WBS and 'A' for Asset), there is no cost center maintained in PO account assignment and thus in MIRO i get an error message as mentioned above.
Dear SAPFICO: check the asset master also, althrough there is a cost center in Asset Master, it does not get extracted into MIRO postings.

Exchange rate difference in SAP MM

Hi experts,
Is there any way to bring the exchange rate difference at time of invoice to some other account rather than stock account.
The scenario is; for eg.
in PO : 1 USD = 50 INR
@ GRN 1 UDS = 55 INR
@ INV 1 USD = 60 INR
At the GRN, inventory will be updated with 55 INR.
At the INV, system will value vendor at 60 INR, but in Standard SAP, the difference of 5 INR will be updated as below.
1. exchange rate diff. will be posted to stock account if available stock qty is >= invoice quantity
2. exchange rate diff. will be posted to exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is 0
3. exchange rate diff. will be posted propotionately to stock account and exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is < invoice quantity
Is there any way, that system will post the exchange rate difference to separate account , rather than inventory.
It is because in client audit, the audit concern say, according to Indian standards, inventory should be valuated only one time in imports. In case of any differences, it should post to separate account and not inventory. They say SAP allows that. Client asked us the same.
I have checked, OMRW, but even after giving 'N' in ERD setting, system is posting to stock account only.
Any way to meet this??
Regards
sBk

Dear Sujith,
Exchange rate differences for a moving average price material will be
posted to the stock account, provide there is sufficient stock coverage.
Transaction OLMR -> Incoming invoice -> Configure how exchange rate
difference are treated.
If you set this selection field then the settings in the ERD Setting
column for this currency type are no longer relevant. The system
calculates and posts exchange rate differences between order-related
goods receipts and invoices not just for materials with standard price,
but also for:
* Materials with moving average price
* Account-assigned transactions
* Planned delivery costs
Because of this setting the exchange rate differences are posted to KDM
account instead of stock (BSX) or price difference (PRD) account
If you uncheck the field, exchange rate differences will be posted to
the stock or price difference account, for a moving average price
material, based on the stock coverage.
Please refer Sap note 980402 in detail

lalita
