Exchange rate difference in to different G/L account

Dear All,
Ex: I have raised a PO for Imports with account assignment category "Q",during creation of purchase order the Exchage rate was 46.65 INR. when i'm doing Invoice MIRO the exchage rate is 48.85.The difference is going against WBS element.But now our company wants the difference in currency should be against cost center
Please can any one suggest how can i hit Exchage rate difference against cost center.
Regards
subhash

Hi
As you have maintained Account assignement category Q that is for Projects - WBS elements, so any difference is being posted to that WBS element only.
If you donot want to post to a WBS element , then you need to creataea substitution ule in FI so that these get posted into a Costs center.
Please get in touch with your FI consultant & an ABAPEr to include the Substitution logic
Thanks & Regards

Exchange rate difference not getting posted to KDM account during MIGO/MIRO

Hello Gurus,
I have a purchase order with many line items. For some of the line items, the exchagne rate difference between the date of MIGO and the date of MIGO is taken to the KDM account. But for some other line items, it is not being taken the KDM. For such line items, the value of the GR/IR account in the local currency is different from MIGO to MIRO. Due to this, the GR/IR clearing is not happening automatically.
Do you have any idea, why the system is not taking the different to KDM for some line items and taking it correctly to KDM for others.
The only difference that I noticed between these 2 line items was
In case where the KDM account is determined, the GR was done for only one line item
In case where the KDM was not determined, the GR was done for more than one line item.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Thanks and Regards

Hi Venkatesh,
I suspect that in your system may be the setting in OMRW is not activated. If the CCurr indicator is not activated for respective company code. Please refer to the information from note 980402 :
After you implement this note, you can use Customizing transaction OMRW to make settings for the new logic for each company code and each currency (the first local currency and two other material ledger currencies, if the material ledger is active). If the CCCurr indicator (V_169P_PK-KDHW) is set, this activates a new logic for calculating the exchange rate difference (KDM amount) in the company code currency (first local currency). As a result, the system also generates KDM lines for purchase orders with account assignment and for purchase orders with MAP materials in inventory management and in invoice verification if required. If the material ledger (ML) is active, you can set a corresponding indicator for additional ML currencies.Bear in mind that the system performs a 1:1 cancellation for the KDM line in the cancellation transactions.
If the indicator is not activated, then the new logic for calculating the exchange rate difference is not active.
I hope this helps.

FI Forex gain loss & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency & Chart of Accounts

Dear All,
I have queries on following :
1) what is difference b/w Forex gain loss account & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency account .
2) Under which Heads in Balance sheet they should come as per Indian Accounting Standards.
3) Are these accounts common for Vendor & customers or different.
4) they record FI data at Company code level or at sub-ledger level first (Vendor /Customer) .
4) Is it advised to use same Chart of Accounts to two companies in same country by using different GL's with different FSV?
Regards
MJ

Hi M J,
Please note the answers below:-
1. It is one and the same thing. When you say forex gain/loss account, it means a GL account and exchnage rate difference means, the difference in rates at which you purchased/sold and the rate at which you made paid/collected.
2. Ask Client where they want to show these GL's in Financial statement Version.
3. The configuration setting is in OB09 and SAP allows you to keep same or diff GL for both realised Exchnage rate gain/loss. It depends on how you want to see. technically it is possible.
4. The Valuation is done at company code level, but individual records are picked up at vendor/customer level. It means that the revaluation gain/loss adjustment is not given to each individual Vendor/Customer, rather it is posted to a GL - Balance Sheet adj.
5. Yes, you can use same chart of accounts and you do not need to create separate GL's at the company code level for two company codes. Same GL's can be used as the posting is made at Co. code level.

Kavita
Note : Please raise separate thread for different questions. Your Point No. 5 is not related to the rest.

According to me, system wont calculate exch rate differences during MIRO.
Please make sure that, you have not selected the Exch Rate Fixed check box in PO header part, next to the exch rate field.
MIGO Entry:
Inventory/Expense Dr 100USD   5000INR
GR/IR......................Cr 100USD   5000INR
MIRO Entry:
GR/IR......................Dr 100USD   4700INR
Vendor....................Cr 100USD    4700INR
In this case, system will create 0 USD & 300 INR for forex diff gl line item, when you clear the GR/IR open items only.
Assume INR is your LC.

Exchange Rate Differences when clearing a bank item

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem when I try to clear a bank item with the bank statement because the document is creating two exchange rate differences, first one debiting to loss account and the other one credting to gain account. I'm not pretty sure if this behavior is the right one but It does not make any sense to me.
I'll detail step by step the process I'm following:
Example:
1.- I create an invoice with an exchange rate type of 15
2.- Then I make the incoming payment with an exchange rate type of 16 (This causes an exchange rate item that is correct for me. Exchange rate Item is for 10 usd)
3.- Then I try to clear the bank item created (same exchange rate than the incoming payment = 16), and now document creates two exchange rate items, the first one debiting to loss account for 10 usd and the second one crediting to gain account for 10 usd.
Could you please help me in order to know if this is ok?
I really appreciate your help
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Manuel Nieto

Hi everyone,
Thanks everyone for your replies. I've realized what's happening, and its related to document split. Because as bank item in incoming payment was splitted, when I try to clear this item ,split happens again no matter if at clearing point exchange rate type is the same as in the incoming payment, that's the reason of the two items one debiting and one crediting for the same amount.
Thanks very much
Best Regards and thanks for your help.

Exchange Rate Differences

Hi experts,
i understand the general concept of exchange rate differences ie Rate at which one currency may be converted into another. The exchange rate is used when simply converting one currency to another
but i need to know where it will affect in SAP and what is the use in SAP?
regards
anand

Hi Anand......
Please read teh following para......
Exchange Rate Differences
Use
When you maintain a foreign currency (FC) business partner and/or accounts, all related bookkeeping is conducted in the FC. As the bookkeeping system must also be conducted in local currency (LC), every FC transaction of this nature also is expressed in LC according to the FC exchange rate on the date of transaction. The daily fluctuations in the FC exchange rates create a situation whereby the balances in LC and FC do not match. The automatic exchange rate differences are designed to periodically recalculate the LC and FC balances, according to the exchange rate on the day the differences are calculated.
SAP Business One can provide recommendations for executing automatic journal transactions for exchange rate differences in FC business partners and accounts, correct to a given date. The function of the program that calculates exchange rate differences is to reconcile between the FC card balance and the LC balance, considering the fluctuation in the FC exchange rate.
To access the Exchange Rate Differences function, choose: Financials ® Exchange Rate Differences.
Hope this may help you to understand the concept of Exchange Rate Difference....

FB05 - exchange rate difference problem

Dear experts,
A customer document transferred from billing document is in currency USD while the local currency is EUR. Exchange rate is /1.32180. I clear this document of the customer using FB05, there are 3 items in the clearing document(the customer, the clearing account and an item of bank fees). On that day, the exchange rate /1.36150, and the configuration of OB09 have been set.However, the exchange rate difference goes to the bank fees account instead of the pointed account in OB09. this issue occurs sometimes not always.
Thank you in advance.

Hi David
Your figures don't add up??? If I take the Local balance and the Foreign balance then the exchange rate applied would have been 9,641.77 at that point in time and not 11,945.30 or 10,894.03. At what point are any of these 2 applicable and were there any other exchange rate differences posted and not yet reversed?
Can you check your numbers and give me a more clear indication of what the problem is. Also 24,125.00 * 1,051.27 = 25,361,888.75 and not 2,202,357,298.05.
Let me know so I can better understand the issue.
Kind regards

Unexplained exchange rate difference

We have created a delivery plan in USD (our local currency is EUR) without fixing exchange rate. This plan has a received several GR and IV at different rates. The material is valuated at standar value.
D.Plan: Rate A , price 15,96 USD/UN
month 1 - GR and IV at rate B
month 2 - GR and IV at rate C
month 3 - GR and IV at rate D
All invoices are posted at a price of 14,32 USD.
In month 1 we had price difference due to differences with the standard price. That was correct.
In month 2 the system has posted unexpected exchange rate differences (key DM). We don't understand them as fas as GR and IV were posted at the same rate.
Could it be that the system is using the rate of the first IV? We wonder the way SAP is calculating that exchange rate difference?

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.

Exchange rate difference while posting ME21N MIGO and MIRO

Hi All,
I am facing one problem with exchange rate type between M and EURX and EURX is maintanined in the SPRO>SAP Netweaver>General Settings>currencies>Check Exchange rate types
EXRT : EURX
Usage    : EMU Reg,fixed
Ref.Curr    : EUR
Buy.ra.at
Sall .Rat.At
Inv
EMU   :X
FIXED
Scenario:
Company(USD) is maintaning Exchange rate type: M and no exchange rates are maintained for USD:EUR or EUR:USD.
Eur is maintaing in Exchange rate type EURX.
1) PO (ME21N) is posting for the Vendor on posting date 01/01/2008. Transaction currency is EUR and company code currency is USD and Quantity : 25000
--> Exchange rate 'M' is not maintained for EUR and values are picking from the EURX Type. In the PO, Exchange rate is picking correctly from the EURX table entries on 01/01/2008.
2) MIGO: GR is posted on 01/25/2008 and with 15000 Quantity. Exchange rate is getting currecly from the table on 01/25/2008.
3) MIRO: IR is posted on 02/15/2008 and Vendor Account is picking correct exchange rate from the table but GR/IR account is caluculations EUR:USD is differntly .
Note: It is not GR based IR.
Ex:
PK AC                DESCRIPTION                    Tran Curr (EUR)    Local Curr USD
31 5004789     Vendor Account                       24,718.48-            38,777.12- USD
86 2525000      A/P-GR/IR NON-INV                24,718.48            38,883.73 USD
91 6584785      SERV-OTHER O/S                    0.00                 106.61- USD
Here GR/IR account is cal dirrently.
4) Credit Memo posted against IR on 03/25/2008. Exchange rate is given while posting CM same as Invoice. But system rate is different. Here also how the GR/IR is calculating is question is it not taking from Table or from any other rate types . Same problem like IR for GR/IR account.
Entry is posted like
PK ACC         Description                            Tran curr(EUR) Local curr(USD)
21 5004789     Vendor                                   24,718.48        38,777.13 USD
96 2525000     /P-GR/IR NON-INV                   24,718.48-      38,892.22- USD
81 6584785     SERV-OTHER O/S                     0.00            115.09 USD
This problem is same like GR and also SPL document is posting differenly for ZG and ZL ledger.
ZL ledger is posting same like Accounting CM document ZG is posting with the different amount . This different amount is nothing but the exchange rate as per the posting date 03/25/2008. Exchange rate on 03/25/2008 is differe from IR date 02/15/2008 .
ZL ledger is calculating based on the 02/15/2008 date and ZG ledger is calculating based on the 03/25/2008 . Difference between Exchange rate entered in the CM and 03/25/2008 table entry rate is showing exchange rate difference field in the Addtional field in the document display.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your helpful answers, actually we are in big export business. So we have to clear 100s of invoice lines with payments at one go, (which obviously being booked at different dates) so it would be very difficult for the user to go one by one invoice.
My concern is, why system does not calculate exchange rate difference based on actual documents, i.e. Invoice to payments only. I think there might be some configuration needed to implement this functionality.
Please help.

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.
best regards, Udo

Exchange Rate difference account-

Hi All,
Please help me to find a solution for the scenario below.
Business process is third party PO scenario where the vendor currency(USD) is different from ccode currency.
Material is valuated at 30 EUR.
PO is made with the vendor at Rs.51.60 USD.(Exchange rate is not fixed at header level in PO)
GR is made at 51.60 USD
While doing IR,the exchange rate has changed from 1.290 to 1.395.
What configuration should be done for the system to post to Exchange rate difference account(transaction key KDM)..
(As of now the difference in price is posted to the consumption account,Which was already hit during GR).
Regards,
Deepak.

HI DEEPAK,
If Price control maintained in Material master is " V " then, at MIRO,
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
If Price control maintained in Material master is " S " then, at MIRO,
1. exchange rate diff. will be posted exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) i.e. irrespective of stock availability.
pls, check and revert back
Regards,
jay

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.
