Differences in parallel currencies after settlement

Hi Everybody,
Please give me some idea, what should I do.
After the settlement of internal order, the balance of currency of the company (10-BRL) is zero, it is OK, but the problem is the balance in hard currency (40-USD) there is difference.
Scenario Currency FI (OB22):
> 1st local currency:
Crcy Type: 10 - company code currency - Currency: BRL
Valuation: 0 Legal Valuation
ExRateType: M - Standard translation at average rate.

Valuation: 0 - Legal Valuation
ExRateType: M - Standard translation at average rate

Scenario Currency CO (OKKP):
> Assignment Control > CoCd->CO Area = Cross-company-code cost accounting
Currency Type:10 - Company code currency

No flag : Diff. CCode Currency

The test is:
1st - Posting with internal order (FB60)
2nd - Settlement internal order (KO88)
3rd - FBL3N
Look the result by currency:
G/L: 800068, Post Date: 30/11/09, Doc Date: 27/11/09, LCurr: BRL, Amount: 1000,00-, LCurr2: USD, Amount loc curr2: 666,67-

Balance of LCurr: BRL = 0,00
Balance of LCurr2: USD = 166,67 (Difference). Is there a procedure to dealing with differences in hard currency (USD) after settlement of internal order?
Thank you so much for any tip.

In your opinion, Does the configuration in OKKP is correct?
Scenario Currency CO (OKKP):

Where is BRL I think that should be USD.
The system do the exchange rate ok, but what about the difference because of it? Is there any problem continue with it?

CJI3 Report - Balance in Controlling Area currency after settlement

Hi Friends,
When I run CJI3 report for one of my projects, the system displays the actual costs in Controlling Area Currency and Object Currency. Controlling Area currency is USD and Object Currency is EUR. After settlement, for one of the cost elements, the CJI3 report shows 0 EUR actual costs balance under Object Currency and displays 19.5 USD actual costs balance under Controlling Area currency. This seems to be coming from PM05 order and the the posting dates are different.
Why there is balance shown in Controlling Area currency (USD) (may be due to exchange rate difference according to me..)?
How this issue can be resolved so that I can go ahead to close the project?
One more thing related to the same issue, when I run CN41 (Structure Overview0 report), it shows a difference actual costs balance (3201USD)? Why is it different from CJI3 report? Which report is correct?
Thanks & Regards,
Balakrishnan

you need to check two things -
are you settling the PM05 order to WBS before settling the WBS itself
or
there seems to be another account to make provision for exchange rate fluctuation - check that out

Tolerance exceeded due to translation difference in parallel currency.

Hi,
I am getting the following error when transaction: ASKB -
Tolerance exceeded for differences due to currency translation
Message no. AAPO518
Diagnosis
An error occurred during translation of currency amounts into the parallel currency using currency type 40.
The document balance is 3605.07 MRL and it cannot be corrected automatically.
System Response
The document cannot be created
Please help to understand and solve the error.

Hi,
It could be that you need a derived depr. area activated as
"Derived depreciation area as real area"
Documentation:
Treat Derived Depreciation Area As Real Area
Specifies that a depreciation area that was originally defined as a
derived depreciation area is treated as a real depreciation area in
the target company code. This means that not only depreciation
differences can be posted to special depreciation reserve accounts,
but also real differences in acquisition and production costs can be
posted to balance sheet accounts.
Use
If you set this indicator, then the system posts the real difference
between two depreciation areas, if the original depreciation area was
defined as the difference between two other areas (for example,
special depreciation area 03 defined as the difference between areas
01 and 02). If the source depreciation area is not a derived
depreciation area, then the system removes the indicator during the
input check.
Please take into account that after this change on customizing,
the accounts in the account determination for this depreciation
area have to be maintained for APC accounts also.
In another scenario the reason for error AAPO518 was the use of a
non standard schema. May you check if you are using a modificatin to the
schema: for example you can check this in transaction SM43 ->
ie SM34 -> VC_T093H01. Check the transaction and to which schema
it is linked.

Posting of Exchange rate differences in parallel currencies

Hello experts,,
We are on ECC 6.
When we enter an incoming 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 a local currency and a group currency.
Example to illustrate my issue -
DC = JPY
LC = SGD
GC = USD
PO for asset.
PO value = 100000 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 100 SGD (@ 0.1 per 100 JPY) is posted to the asset. No posting in USD (though there is a balance of 50 USD).
At clearing (Transaction FB1S - GL account clearing) the exchange rate difference (in GC only, because no balance in LC) of 50 USD (@ 0.05 per 100 JPY) is posted to the Exch. rate difference GL acct.
Thanks in advance for your advice/solution.
B. Regards,
Halaswamy

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.

Parallel currency after GO Live

Hi,
I am trying to create Additional Local currency USD for a company code whose local currency is CAD.
I am able to define the additional currency USD for the Canadian Co Code. So now any transaction that is posted in the Canadian Company Code AFTER this config set up can be seen in USD.
But what about the transactions that are already posted in the system before this set up. Is there any program to transfer those earlier transactions/documents to this new currency?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How did you assigned additional currency to company code. I am trying to assign additional currency at "define currencies of leading ledger". I changed currency type to Globla currency(60) but still in currency field it is CAD.
Also, after this change, business wants to show exesting transactional data in US currency, same as you want.
Thank you,
Mark

Currency revaluation in Parallel Currency

Hi,
Having set up parallel currency (currency type 40) in FI and FI-AA. Local Currency is CNY; Parallel Currency is USD.
As soon as a time lag exists between two activities i.e. incurring costs in January - settlement and capitalize costs in March a different translation rate is applied to CNY/USD. Therefore a difference in USD incurrs.
Is there a way to revaluate parallel currency differences within standard SAP?
Is there a way to post clear this difference manually in the parallel ledger in USD without influencing the main ledger in CNY?
Technical infos: SAP ECC 6.0 without new G/L

Hi,
first of all, you cannot avoid this differences, but this is completely OK.
Of course you can revaluate in currency type 40. The posting would be then like this:
(original account to be revaluated vs. P/L gain/loss account):
Amount in doc.currency = 0 xxx
Amount in company code currency (CT 10) = 0 CNY
Amount in hard currency (CT40) = xxx USD.
So only the items / balances in CT40 are changed, no impact on CNY.
HOw to achieve this: either you run F.05 (SAPF100) for currency type 40 (recommended) or you post manually in F-05, this transaction allows you to enter the value of 0 in any amount field (at least 1 amount, in this case, CT40 USD amount, must be of course greater than zero) without converting the doc.currency and/or local currency amounts immediately.
Hope that helps, points welcome

Purchase price variance line item - not to be posted in Parallel currency

Hi All,
Scenario:
Transaction currency - SGD
Local Currency - INR
Parallel Currency 1 (LC2) - Group currency - USD
Parallel Currency 2 (LC3) - Global Company currency - INR
Import PO - MIGO - MIRO
PO is raised in foreign currency.
Material master price control is maintained in 'S'.
While doing MIGO, I am getting following accounting entries:
Stock a/c Dr.
GR/IR a/c Cr.
Price variance* a/c Dr.
*The price varaince is because of difference in my material price as per material master and PO.
If I go and check in FBL3N, I can see all the line items in Transaction, Local currency and 2 Parallel currencies.
My query is, In SAP is it possible to avoid Price variance line item posting to Parallel currencies.
To my knowledge I know that it is not possible to avoid a single line to post it to Parallel currencies.
Thanks in advance.

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Issue with Asset Managemenet (parallel Currencies)

This message is from my customer:
Capital investments are kept in Asset Managemenet (FI-AA), balances are integrated part of FI-GL, shown on respective accounts.
Within AM, multiple valuation areas exists, as an asset underly different rules, depending of it's accounting (book) value and tax value etc.
Therefore, we have one area (01) representing the book value, - which is also the GL-balance. In addition, AM keep another area (10) representing the tax value.
Finally, we have a third area representing the difference between Tax and book, (called 'delta'), and these values are posted to GL as 'more/less depreciation', enabling us to report both 'Accounting books' and 'Norwegian tax books'. This 'delta posting' is part of standard, monthly depreciation run.
We have a challenge in the case were we have USD as functional currency, in an entity registrated as Norwegian a/s.
Norwegian tax authorities require the tax values of the depreciation to be based on historical NOK-investments. Both FI-GL and FI-AA support the parallel currency
accounting, but not when it comes to the handling of the 'delta-values'. In this case, the initial investments are kept in histotical NOK in AM, and in AM the NOK-investment is depreciatied in the tax area. However, when the delta-posting is done, this is done in USD only (based on area 01 and 10), and the parallel NOK-value of this transaction is translated based on exchange rate on transaction date, NOT the historical NOK-value. The consequense of this is that the tax-books in NOK is incorrect, and there is a need to do manual adjustments, based on tiresome spreadsheet calculations.
Now: is this the only way SAP handles parallel currencies in AA/AM? No way to configure it to use historical exchange rates at all?
If this cannot be changed within SAP, has anyone else solved this kind of problem and might help me getting started?

Hello!
Does someone have answers to this:
From SAP Help:
The central procurement and processing of data for an asset takes place
in the logical database ADA in the FI-AA component. One of the functions
that is carried out in the database is currency translation. Currency
translation for a currency that is different from the company code
currency is carried out according to a translation method that you
define in FI-AA Customizing.
Where do i find this customising?
If the parameters of this standard translation method do not meet your
needs, you can define your own individual translation method using this
SAP enhancement.
Activities
Follow the procedure outlined below:
<b>
1. Activate enhancement project AMGS_001.
2. Modify function module EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001. Enter your own code in the
    included program ZXBADU03.
    When the enhancement project is active, the system uses the function
     module at the corresponding positions in the logical database.
3. Define a translation method in FI-AA Customizing (Information
      System) that uses translation date 3 (own translation).
</b>
Parameters
The following transfer parameters are available for function module
EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001:
o   I_AMOUNT (amount in local currency)
o   I_ANLAV (master data for the asset)
o   I_AFABER (depreciation area)
o   I_BERDATUM (report date)
o   I_UMVAR (translation method)
The translated amount is expected as a return value in the field
E_AMOUNT. This value is then transferred to the respective report.
This looks promissing But has anyone tried this exit, EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001?
Will it work for me?

Parallel Currency Depreciation Areas.

Hi,
I have activated parallel currencies (Hard Currency - EUR & Indexed Based - USD) concept to my company code. I am trying to settle WBS, that time I am getting error message "Company code XXXX manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 40 and currency EUR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01"
For the above error how to create dependent depreciation area and attaching to currency type EUR".
Help is needed very urgent.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Hi,
Normally when you activated parallel currencies, then you should have minimum 2 depreciation area. First is Book Depreciation , and the second is "Group Currency" Depreciation.
You can define depreciation Area for "Group Currency" in :
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Define Depreciation Area
Then you should Specify Area Type in t-code : OADC. Set "Typ"= 6 (group Valuation) for the "Group Currency" depreciation area.
Then Specify Transfer of APC Values in t-code : OABC , fill "ValAd"= 01 and tick column "Identical" for "Group Currency" Area.
Do the same thing in t-code : OABD.
Then You should define currency for those depreciation area in t-code : OAYH.
Last, you should Specify the use of parallel currencies in :
SPRO=> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Currency ->Specify the use of parallel currencies .
For "Group Currency" Depreciation area , Fill following :
"Currency Type" = 30 Group Currency
Tick "IdAPC"
"Ttr" = 1 book depreciation
Tick "Indnt Trn"
Hope It can help.

Parallel currency valuation for material management

Dear all,
My comapny is maintaining parallel currency in company code in new GL, does this impact material management also.
Should we need to activate material ledger for parallel valuation in material management, but the company is not actually into production but it still require activation of material ledger.
Regards,

Hi Shilpa,
How I understand it using the U.S as my example:
In the first transaction code, in other words, F.05 or FAGL_FC_VAL are used if the currency in the transaction is not the same as the local currency of the company. For instance, U.S GAAP mandates companies to report their financial statements in local or functional currency. So let's say the transaction currency for a U.S company code is/was GBP. However, GBP is not the local currency of the U.S company code so you would to have perform foreign currency valuation with any of the above named transaction codes using the exchange rate of the key date specified at the time of the valuation. This valuation will then give you a gain or loss as a result of differences between the original amount and the revaluated amount.
The second transaction code FAGL_FC_TRANS valuates the balances or additional currencies. But to be able to run this second transaction code, you would first have to perform FAGL_FC_VAL or F.05 first (this is a prerequisite).
So even if you are to perform currency translation, you will still need to run FAGL_FC_VAL first.
Regards,
Elias

Parallel currency and Parallel ledger activation

Dear all,
In one of our client places, they have done the parallel currency and parallel ledger activation in the middle that is after 1 month of go live. Because of this they are not able to clear the already posted documents. When they try to clear, all the documents are going to dump. Please suggest what has to be done.
Thanks & Regards,

Paralle ledger activation in the middle of the year is very dangerous for the previously posted open items.
At the time of clearing system try to post the entries in the parallel ledgers. But parallel ledger not available in the previous postings.
It will result adverse results in most of the transactions.Please check and take necessary action

Activate parallel currency in a company

I need to activate parallel currency in a company which is already in production. Anybody knows how to proceed??
thanks,
Cecilia

Hi,
Last year, I have worked on a similiar requirement. The requirement is to activate the group currency as the second currency in the system for a company which is already in the production environment. We have done quite detailed analysis to do it. Our plan was:
At one point of time before we bring the new configuration for parallel currency into production environment, temporarily make the balance of all accounts (open item, non open item) ZERO, then clear the open items, transport the configuration of parallel currency and bring back the account balances with not only at local currency level but also at group currency level. The company subject to change was a medium sized company and they agreed to only see the balances after the conversion. We shared our plan with SAP to understand if they would give support to usin any case if we face with a problem. Then they told us that that type of conversions can only be done by a special consulting team within SAP AG itself. Any change done and caused a problem in the production environment will not be supported by SAP.
As a result, instead of getting this special consultancy, we have decided to create a new company code with parallel currency activated and make it live at the beginning of the fiscal year and transfer the opening balances to the new company code.
You can contact with SAP to get more information about their conversion for a live company code. But my advise is it is not that much easy to activate this functionality when you are live. So be careful, take your time, share the company detail (which modules are in production, what is the volume of data vs.) with SAP and get their feedback.
Good luck.
