AP Balances' Mess.Xcess of Realised Exchange Gain/Loss Postings.How 2 Clear

Dear Readers,
Our project is stuck with an issue which from the onset a simple issue.
Issue being the AP balances show excess of Realised exchange gain/loss postings.The Realised Exchange gain/loss postings are in USD (i.e. Local Currency).
This creates an issue in clearing when the invoices do not match the balances and the automatic clearing is not possible.
Although reports (income statement and Balance Sheet) give matching results, but AP on the individual level (vendor wise) poses such a problem.
Kindly enumerate the solution.
Its a high priority issue.
Any sort of help is much sought.

  • Foreign Currency exchange gain & loss

    Dear expert,
    I have a problem here, need help.
    I have made the setting for foreign exchange gain/loss in OB09 and start to use f-28 for incoming payment.
    When run the simulation, it gives me 2 lines of exchange gain/loss calculation. 1st line with amount zero (local currency) and 2nd line with the gain/loss amount.
    I wonder why I have 2 lines of exchange gain/loss calculation?
    Did I did something wrong or miss some specific setting?
    Thanks in advance. will assign points

    Hi Louis,
    Please note the example below and you will understand why two line items are created:
    Local currency - USD; foreign currency - GBP
    Vendor invoice in foreign currency - 100GBP - Jan (Exchange rate: I GBP=2 USD)
    Feb - You valuated the open item (Exchange rate: 1 GBP = 3 USD) with update principle
    Entry: Unrealised exchange rate Debit 100 USD
              To Special balance sheet account Credit 100 USD
    Payment made in march where the exchange rate is 1 GBP = 3.5 USD
    Entry will be:
    Vendor debit                               200 USD
    Balance sheet account debit        100 USD
    Realised exchange rate loss debit  50 USD
    To bank                                       350 USD
    Are you getting the above entry? If so, then the above scenario will explain your predicament.
    Cheers!

  • Auto Assigned distribution rule to exchange gain/loss acct in Banking

    Hi All,
    I have a customer that have this requirement. They wanted the exchange gain/loss account generated by Incoming payment or Outgoing payment to be auto assign with profit center if it is defined at the payment screen.
    The result now is, even though you have assign the distribution rule on each reconciled invoice during payment, double entries generated will not have any distribution rule assigned even though it involve exchange gain/loss that is P&L account.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    MH

    Hi Kamlesh,
    Thanks for the reply. However, we can't assigned the distribution rule at Chart of account as the incoming or outgoing payment may involve different division each time thus the exchange gain/loss account should be assign to respective division. Thanks.

  • Wrong CO object assign. on account for exchange gains/loss

    Hi!
    When running outgoing payments in transaction f110 realized exchange
    gains/losses sometimes exists (account 796200). These gains/losses
    should always be assigned to cost center 11100. Therefore, we have made
    an default account assignment on this both in OKB9 and on the current
    cost element. Despite this, when running transaction f110, account
    796200 is assigned to the same cost center as the offsetting account
    that the account payable invoice is set against in transaction fb60
    when entering the account payable invoice. How can we solve this?

    Thanks for your answer!
    Nope, I don't have to separate cost elements, one for gain and one for losses, because the customer wanted to use the same account (and cost element). Therefore, I used cost element category 1 on the cost element so that credit postings (in this case: gains) can be posted to the cost center. I donät think that's the problem.
    Nope, current account is not assigned in KDB and KDF but that cannot be the problem either, since the system find the right account/cost element. There must be something else that is the problem!

  • Accounting of foreign exchange gain /loss on imported material at invoice

    Dear Experts,
    This is with reference to the accounting of foreign exchange gain /loss on imported material at the time of invoice posting.
    Presently all the capital expenditure related procurements are done against the WBSE as account assignment. The material is
    procured against the project consumption account with WBS as the account assignment. Since the GR is done on day 1
    at a particular exchange rate and the material is directly accounted for against the project consumption account,
    there is no stock available.
    The invoice is received subsequently and the same is accounted for on say Day 4 at another exchange rate, resulting in exchange gain/loss on account of difference in exchange rate between GR and IR. The same is accounted against a cost element with the additional account assignment as WBS derived from the purchase order.
    However, the business requirement is to account for the foreign exchange gain/loss against the Cost center, since the
    same cannot be capitalized as per the accounting standard.
    In spite of maintaining the default cost center derivation against the foreign exchange gain/loss cost element in OKB9,
    the invoice document line item is taking the account assignment from purchase order and not from OKB9.
    We have referred the SAP note 105024 and implemented the same.
    However, as per the note the following is possible "Use a substitution (Transaction OKC9) to transfer a cost center or a
    statistical order as auxiliary account assignment to the document or to replace CO account assignment."
    But when we are trying to check the same, the system is updating the required CO object i.e. cost center as auxiliary
    account assignment and not as a replace CO account assignment.
    We are looking at the option of replacing the WBSE with the cost center in the line item for CO account assignment.
    Please help in this regard.
    Thanks and Regards,

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.

  • Exchange Gain Loss Revaluation - Error Message No. F5429

    Hi,
    While peforming the foreign currency revaluation of open items as at 31.12.2007, using the T Code FAGL_FC_VAL, the system calculates the Exchange Rate difference but the documents do not get posted. The Document display shows an error -
    Document ERROR  172 does not exist in company code 1000 or has been archived
    Message no. F5429
    Could anyone advise as to how this could be resolved and what could be the reason for such kind of error.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rgds.

    Raj,
    Your question is a little confusing, Does it say " Unable to post the document" while you are trying to run the FCV for Open items.
    Or is it like the document that got posted during FCV cannot be viewed by you ?

  • Realized Gain/Loss and FC balance in Account Balance

    Hi Experts,
    I am still waiting to get answers on the following problem and looking forward for a good suggestion on how to adjust the entry for 2005 A & B versions:
    1) We have customers and suppliers setup as MC and deal with FC transactions (example FC=SEK, and SEK is also our SC).
    2) But these customers and suppliers will always pay up with LC (SGD) and bank-in the paid amount to an bank account setup with LC(SGD) only.
    Problem:
    If we select the the payment mean with the LC amount, we will face:
    a) the FC amount was not deducted from the account balance and finally show up a lot of FC balance, and most tedious when we face partial payment...difficult to trace...and worst is bank recon only show LC amount...why not both???
    b) the realized exchange gain/loss is not automatically calculated, even though the payment is in full by LC amount.
    I have questions:
    i) Why can't there should be a way that the payment entry (pay FC in LC) whereby on the BP (control a/c) line, the settled invoice amount (of each FC) shall be posted (acceptable with one line having FC amount and the bank line have no FC amount) ?
    ii) Why can't the system generate the gain/loss at each payment time?
    It is a more reasonable way. 
    Thank you and regards,
    Joan Lim.

    Hi Kerstin,
    I realized B1 2005 can't even fulfill basic finance requirements in that case.
    In any MNC, for CFO, FC balances, realized gain/loss is most important factor for the company to look into cash flow. 
    Anyway, I have tried out many ways to explain to our CFO, finance department ...but all get disappointed with B1 2005.
    I understand that B1 2007 already have the function, but as the huge $$ dump in on our add-on development in year 2007, it is not so easy to upgrade B1 2007 at all.
    I am still looking forward for  patches in 2005 for these functions.
    Thank you and regards,
    Joan.

  • Exchange rate gain /loss is not posted in the contract

    Hi Sap People,
    Exchange rate gain /loss is not posted in the contract(cashflows). This is w.r.t  SAP Banking Module.
    The open items are posted with a certain exchange rate in the contract at the time of disburesment,while clearing thru FF68(incoming payment) with a new exchange rate the items
    are cleared with the same exchange rate and the Exchange gain/loss is posted as zero.
    Regards
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Check the exchange rate type for the disbursement.  It is M for FF68.  Check in configuration the exchange rate type.  Also check the exchange rates maintained in OB08 for this exchange rate type and confirm if there is any difference.
    Is it Loans module?

  • Compute Unrealized Gain/Loss and Provisions for Valuated Forex Contract

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone tell me how unrealized gain/loss or provisions were computed for forex contract?
    I created a spot/forward transaction with the following details:
    Product Type: 60A
    Transaction Type: 102
    Buy Currency: USD
    Sell Currency: NZD
    Local Currency: SGD
    Forward Rate: 0.6864
    Spot Rate: 0.7045

    I used midyear valuation w/ reset as a valuation category when I execute valuation in TPM1.
    Your response would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Canto

    Hi  Murlidhar,
    Thank you for the response.  Yes, I understand that a gain/loss can be realized based on exchange rate differences between when invoice entered/posted and when paid.  That's only part of the gain/loss in minds of the accountants.  The other part is gain/loss from time that cash was put into bank account.  For example, we spend $100 USD to purchase and deposit R$167 BRL into Brazil bank account.  Three months later that same R$167 BRL is worth only $85 USD.  At that time we post and pay Brazil invoice on same day in amount of R$167 with no exchange gain/loss on the invoice.  System posts credits of R$167 BRL and $85 USD to bank account G/L account.  System does not record gain/loss on payment because invoice currency translation date and paid date are same.  However, the bank account G/L account balance now reflects R$0 BRL and $15 USD on which system calculates a $15 USD unrealized gain/loss at month end.  This unrealized gain/loss on the bank G/L account posts and reverses each month just as you said but never goes away.  In minds of accountants the $15 USD gain/loss should be recognized.  How best to recognize the $15 USD gain/loss, that is the question.
    Thanks
    Steve
