Exchange Difference

Hi All,
How do we track the Exchange differences / Forex Gain / Loss.
In SAP we enter the Exchange rate in Administration Module, at the time of  Transaction, if we enter the different rate then SAP is taking the Exchange rate from Administration Module.
For Example: In Administration we enter the USD rate @ 42/- and in the A/P Invoice we enter 42.50, when we view the JE, there it is taking 42 and 42.50.
Please help me out to resolve.
Regards
Shanker

Hi Shanker,
please have a look at this [EoP wiki |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=60654139]page, it'll help you understand how B1 calculates the rates. There is also an [EES|http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000326672008E.zip] in the archives where a case like yours is described (SC=FC-why dont they match).
All the best,
Kerstin

  • Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference

    How Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference is calculated for material consumed in product costing / material ledger

    You need to go to net price at purchase order in local currency. With quantity you'll get the purchase order total price in local currency.
    Get the standard price of material master record (which is in purchase order) on MM03 transaction on costing 2 view.
    Purchase price variance is the difference between purchase price order and material standard price.
    To get this difference in foreing currency, you´ll need to get document date of purchase order, get exchange rate at OB08 and find both prices in foreign currency; after that get same way the variance.
    Hope that helps,

  • Realised exchange difference by internal order

    When clearing an open AP item with a payment, the realised exchange rate difference is posted to the P+L against the relevant cost centre (From the purchase order).  However, the assigment to the internal order (also contained in the Purchase order) is lost. 
    Is there a way to determine the account assignment of the realised exchange postings?
    Note: 
    The internal order (AUFNR) is an optional entry field in our exchange difference accounts.
    The Realised exchange differences pick up the correct c ost centre from the invoice but not the Internal order
    Thanks!

    We once had a similar requirement - the only difference is that we wanted the exch. rate diff. to go to the WBS element (which is on the PO).  All we did was to add WBS element as a document splitting characteristic in the following node in SPRO.
    Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
    And it worked!!!
    You can add Order (AUFNR) and see if it serves your requirement.
    Good luck!

  • About foreign currency exchange difference when do MIRO

    Dear all,
    There's a  purchase order with foreign currency, for the currency rate floated every month, if we do MIRO in the next month after we do GR, there's foreign currency exchange difference happened,
    the problem is if the mat'l code with stand price control, in OBYC, I set the transaction KDM with account determination:exchange difference, then I do MIRO, it's ok, the currency exchange diff goes into the right account(exchange difference),
    but if the mat'l code with price control V, when do MIRO, the currency exchange difference goes into the inventory account automatically, seems not determined by the setting of OBYC KDM,
    so what can I do,?
    Appreciate your kind reply in advance.
    Rgds

    Hi Kathy Wan,
    Try the SAP Note No:980402.For me it worked only for material price with Moving Average price.
    Still We are analysing to get for Accout assignment purchase order and service purchase order.
    If you got complete your requirement ,Please let me know.
    Thank and Regards,

  • Reversal of unrealized exchange difference

    Dear Experts,
    I need your advise on the following issue.
    At our company we revaluate both bank accounts and open items in foreign currencies at each month end. At the beginning of the next month, unreal.exchange differences for open items are reversed but differences for bank accounts are not. Accordingly, we have permanent balance in P&L account for unrealized exch. rate gains and loses.
    I would like to know if there any unirom approach to dealing with this issue. Do you have to reverse gains/loses for bank accounts each month or leave it as it is and make one journal entry to reverse accumulated  gains/losses if/when particular bank account is closed, e.g. foreign currency balance is 0?
    Thank You,

    Hi Srinivas
    Thank you for input.
    Yes, we are not making any reversal for bank accounts, but are reversing gains/loses for open items such as accounts payable/recievable. Is this the case with other SAP users?
    The issues is that P&L account has accumulated unrealized difference due to non reversal for bank accounts. Do we need to post accumulated balance to realized gain/loss when bank account is closed (zero balance in foregn currency)?
    Best regards,

  • Inventorising the Exchange difference in MIRO

    We want not to inventorise the exchange difference while invoice verification (MIRO). We are in Actual costing scenario. when we do actual costing the exch.diff booked in MIRO (Invoice verification) is transferred to Inventory a/c. One way to avoide is to select "Exch.rate fixed" check box in PO. But the inventory is valued only with this rate. Any change in Exch.rate will not be considered for Inventorisation at the time of MIGO.
    What we want is ,the inventory should be valued at the Exch.rate on inwarding (MIGO) and further variance should not be inventorised(Actual costing scenario).
    Can anyone provide solution please.

    Thanks BSK,
    I thought this will not work here. Can you pls elaborate further.
    My requirement is, I want to inventorise at the exch.rate on MIGO date. But further i do not want to inventorise.

  • Exchange difference for Invoice

    In company the Inventory is managed in different currencies as per GRN (Procurement) exchange rate. All the subsequent posting should be posted with GRN rate. But this is not happening at this moment. All the subsequent transactions to GRN are posted on the posting date exchange rate.
    How to do subsequent postings to GRN at the original GRN rate. If there is any exchange difference loaded at the time of Invoicing then it  should be taken care while doing subsequent transactions.
    Kindly resolve.

    Not quite sure I understand the question but . . .
    On the Header level Delivery/Invoice tab you can fix the exchange rate. All GRs/Invoices then get posted with reference to that exchange rate. Is that what you want ?

  • Exchange Difference posting through MM

    Dear Experts,
    We Procure Assets through Material Managment . we  have created interim asset class in FI and attach Asset number in PO while creating PO.
    Now scenario is that we procured/imported  Asset through PO and created PO in Foregin Curreny on 01-06-2011. we did GRN of the Asset on 16-08-2011 and MIRO on 24/08/2011. FOregin Exchange on all these dates were as follow
    01-06-2011  106 PKR
    16-08-2011  116 PKR
    24-08-2011  119 PKR
    now due  to difference in exchange rate at the time of MIGO and MIRO system automatically charge Exchange rate difference to Asset at the time of MIRO. While our financial experts argue that according to IAS21 exchange rate difference should be expensed out
    we have assigned exchange rate difference(expense)  already in OBYC
    Requirement
    isi t SAP standard functionality to charge exchange diiference  to Asset at the time of MIRO.
    and can we expense out exchange rate difference at the time of MIRO and where configurational changes should be made
    please also note that as payment invoice is cleared exchange rate difference is booked in exchange difference a/c which is accurate

    sajida

    Hello Sajida, Did you resolve this?
    There are a few things that you could do:
    1. Tweak the way that Exchange rates occur between MIGO and MIRO, that you can do it at SPRO > Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated
    In there you have the following options:
    If you do not select a value: Exchange rate differences between goods receipt and invoice receipt
    The system calculates the exchange rate differences from the difference between the exchange rate at the time of the goods receipt and the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt.
    Choose the value X: Exchange rate differences between invoice receipt and assumed exchange rate
    The system calculates the exchange rate differences from the difference between the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt and an assumed exchange rate. The assumed exchange rate can, for example, be valid for a whole year or a part of a year.
    Choose the value N: No exchange rate differences, only price differences
    No exchange rate differences will be calculated. Instead, differences from exchange rate variations will be considered as price differences and posted to a price difference account.
    Since you are working with assets, all price differences move to the asset, therefore it may not help you, but nonetheless you should try it out.
    2. Modify the Account Assignment Category "A" (Asset) so that the Goods receipt becomes nonvaluated, with this, there won't be any change between MIGO and MIRO since there won't be any financial document on Goods Receipt. This solution is implemented is most of our clients.
    3. Creating or modifying the purchase order (before Goods Receipt) you can check the Indicator Exch.Rate Fixed in the Delivery/invoice tab at PO. with this indicator on, all documents posted to this purchase order will have the exchange rate shown in the same tab at the Purchase Order (ME22N), you can change this exchange rate also with the number that you need for MIGO and MIRO, no price differences will occur between MIGO and MIRO, but price differences for payment will occur has a standard.

  • Exchange difference - bank clearing

    Hi All
    while doing bank clearing in F-03.
    the transaction is in CAD and clearing is happening in USD
    it is asking the currency amount to be cleared
    please suggest me where to make the changes

    Hi
    Select the CAD currency to clear  the same as base currency is CAD and I assume that  both the line items of CAD + and - are of same amount . If it is so it will clear the documnet however if there is difference in USD  it will post the difference to foreign exchange difference account.

  • Foreign Exchange Differences

    How do we account for when the exchange rate changes between PO and invoice?
    I have posted an A/P invoice on to our system for $1,000,000 on 31 October 2007 when $1 = £2.00
    I have now paid the invoice so $1,000,000, but the exchange rate is $1 = £2.10
    2 questions -    How do I match the payment against the invoice?
    Granted the $ is zero, but the Business Partner shows a £ balance of (($1,000,000 / 2) – ($1,000,000 / 2.10)) = £23,809 difference in exchange rates. So how do I account for the exchange rate difference to clear the account?
    Many thanks

    This is manual work. you could use exchange rate differences as a standard one. It is available in financial module. you execute on the date where you post the AP invoice. There is GL account for realized exchange rate gain and loss that must be set in the GL account determination.
    The transaction journal will be resulted in after perform the exchange rate differences. I have performed this work and the result is okay. usually the company do this yearly or monthly if the exchange rate of currency is not highly fluctuations.

  • Foreign Exchange difference on payment to import vendor

    Hi
    Iam explaining my query based on an example:
    For ex. an amount of USD 1000 outstanding in vendor account accounted at USD 1 = INR 40 (INR 40,000)
    I have paid him USD 500 after two months (on which date the USD 1 rate is INR 50) - i.e., INR 25,000
    However, while selecting the open items in T-Code F-53 if I select partial payment the entry will be
    Bank a/c Cr. USD 500 INR 25000 @ 50
    Vendor a/c Dr. USD 500 INR 25000 @ 50
    However, no exchange rate difference is generated at this point of time.
    However, if I selected the open items in T-Code F-53 by selecting residual payment the entry will be
    Bank a/c Cr. USD 500 INR 25000 @50
    Vendor a/c Dr. USD 1000 INR 40000 @40
    Vendor a/c Cr. USD 500 INR 25000 @50
    Exchange Loss Dr USD 0 INR 10000 (Exchange loss)
    My Doubt is, when Iam making partial payment, why is entire exchange loss on USD 1000 getting recognised, it should recognise only on USD 500.
    Further, during partial payment, why doesnt exchange loss get recognised?

  • Exchange difference error during Bank Reconcilation

    We are maintaining three bank accounts for every house bank - Main Bank account, Incoming Account and Outgoing account. All receipts are first posted to Bank's Incoming Account. All payments made are initially posted to Bank's Outgoing Account. At the end of a period, we do reconciliation of bank accounts and all the cheques deposited to bank and cleared are transferred from incoming account to Bank's main account. Similarly all the cheques issued and cleared are transferred from outgoing account to bank's main account. Thus bank's main account's balance always matched with the bank statement and cheques outstanding are kept in incoming and outgoing accounts. We do these transfers by using a functionality ZBRS. For this we create an excel format and upload the same through ZBRS. Thenafter we run transaction SM35 to post all the entries. The problem we are facing is that some time, a foreign currency transaction is not transferred to main bank account and the error message given is ""Exchange Rate Difference accs are incomplete for account *** (bank's incoming account no.) currency *** . However such message does not come for all foreign currency transactions but only for few.  Kindly suggest the reason of error and measures to remove the same."

    Hi Satish,
    can you check in Exchange rate difference acoounts for open items, if you maintained any currency in that screen then system will through the error if you transact with another curency.
    I hope it helpfull to you

  • Foreign Exchange difference posted to price difference account at MIGO

    Hi,
    We have a problem regarding posting foreign exchange rate difference at the time of GR.
    We are costing materials at the beginning of year, and purchases made during the year as per PIR will result in legitimate price difference which is posted to price difference account.  Thatu2019s working alright.
    Now, due to new business requirement, we maintained PIR in MXN (Mexican peso), & standard cost is converted in local currency USD as per exch. rate maintained in OB08.
    Now, when we do GR, the difference of foreign exchange at the time of Std. cost & GR date is posted to Price difference account instead of foreign exchange account.  For eg. Std .cost of material A is 1000 MXN, and GR cost of material X is also 1000 MXN, however corresponding USD is different because of different foreign exchange rate.
    Will appreciate if someone can suggest on how can we post it to exch.rate diff.account instead of price diff. acct. ?
    Thanks,
    Nirav

    Hi,
    Thanks for your replies.
    We have already maitained exch.rate GL OBYC-KDM, which is successfully posted with the exch.rate diff.arising out of GR & IV at the time of IV.
    I'm talking about price difference in Std. cost & GR value because of exch.rate diff.
    For example, Std cost for Material A is 1000 MXN converted to $100 with exch.rate of 10. Now, GR happens with 1000 MXN converted to $200 with prevailing exch.rate of 5. Please note that std. cost and GR is the same price 1000 MXN, but USD amount is changed resulting $100 gets posted to PRICE DIFFERENCE Account, whereas we want to post it to FOREIGN Exch. diff.A/c becuase it's arising out of exch,rate difference.
    Please let me know if it makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Nirav
