Exchange rate differences whne clearing documents in local currency

Hello,
While clearing customer documents in local currency , the system calculates exchange rate differences in the clearing document. Even if the amount in local currency is 0, the amount in second local currency will have a value. The same is happening also when we clear GR/IR account. In the case of customer clearing, becuse for the exachange rate differences account are maintaied default values in OKB9, the system cannot split, since there are 2 different account assignments when tolerances are also involved.
I think that, if the exchange rate differences account wont be popluated while clearing, i will be able to post clearing with tolerance amounts.
Any idea about how to make the exchange rate differences not to be caulculated for clearing in local currency?
Thank you,
S.

Hi,
Go to OBY6 and choose your company code.
For your company code, the check box No forex rate diff. when clearing in LC should have been checked in case if you dont want to calculate the exch rate diff when clearing open items in LC.
This will solve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

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.

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 difference in single document

Hi Expects,
Why do I see different exchange rate in one single PO invoice document?
Itm PK Account      Account short text            Amount Crcy      Amount in LC LCurr
1   31 Vendor        Jodhia                             4847.04- EUR         6582.52- USD
2   86 500012       GR/IR                              4603.62 EUR         6514.60 USD

Only vendor line item (1) has the correct exchange rate as per in OB08. Why item 3 has even more amount in EUR and less in USD which is too weird.
Thanks
Simar

Hi Venkata,
First of all thanks for replying.
No it was not checked because this scheduling agreement was created once a year ago. Client want the system should calculate the exchange rate at the time of invoice.
System is calculating the exchange rate amount correctly for vendor line item but not for other two.
Thanks,
Simar

Exchange rate difference in FI document and PCA document.

When we invoice with foreign currency, document exchange rate used in posting to FI but exchange type M used in posting to PCA. Can we use document exchange rate to post to PCA?

I dont think this is possible. Generally in PCA config setting you maintain this exchange rate type. Go to OKEQ and selelct verion 0 and click against Settings for PC accounting on the left hand side. Here you can see the exchange rate type which is set. So you need to maintain the exchange rate type here. There is no way that document exchange rate can be set here.

Avoid posting of realized exchange rate differences in 2nd local currency

Dear SAP fans,
The situation here in our company is that a company code is set up with NZD as 1st and EUR as 2nd local currency (currency type 30 "Group currency" for EC-CS consolidation).
Therefore, all postings (and balances) are also translated and saved in EUR (with the current exchange rate).
We now have an open item managed G/L account for prepaid expenses, which is used to collect postings which are then cleared later. It's however no payable/receivable account for vendors/customers. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to post realized exchange rate differences when clearing this account. This is however what SAP wants to do when we try to clear it.
For example, if I post today 100 NZD and two months later again 100 NZD to this account. If the NZD vs. EUR exchange rate changed in the meantime, then SAP won't let me clear this account without posting realized exchange rate differences, which makes however no sense.
Does anyone of you meet this problem before? Could you please give me a hint?
I thought about setting the "Only balances in local currency" indicator in the G/L account master but this helps only for differences between local and document currency (and not for differences in 1st and 2nd local currency).
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks and best regards,
Peter

Dear Padma,
Thanks for your answer. The customizing activities you mentioned are already set up in the system. This is not our problem.
The problem is however, that we don't want SAP to post automatically realized exchange rate differences between 1st and 2nd local currency as this doesn't make sense in this business case.
It's about an open item managed G/L account which is used to collect posting which are later cleared. It's not a payable/receivable account for customers/vendors where the posting of realized exchange rate differences makes sense.
We've thought about several solution which unfortunately all didn't help us:
- Don't setup realized exchange rate differences accounts or set them up only for group currency (in OB09)
- Set indicator "Only balances in local currency" in G/L master data
Best regards,
Peter

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.

Only reseting the cleared documents with exchange rate differences in FBRA

Hello,
we want only reset the cleared documents . We dont want to reverse the cleard documents. But When we try to do it we get a message Exchage difference are posted do you want to reverse it. Want we want to reset are in Doc.. currency. postings for August.
As i know when we have exchange rate difference we dont get an option only resettng but we get reseting and reversing.
May i know how to slove this situation.
Thank you
Chaithra

HiI
f 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
The valuation of the inventories or consumption is effectively done at the exchange rate for the goods receipt, and not at the exchange rate of the invoice. When you post the good receipts, the fixed exchange rate from the purchase order is not used, but the translation of the purchase order values to local currency is always done at the posting date of the goods receipt.
If you are using the material ledger with actual costing, the system does not include the posted exchange rate differences at period-end closing in the actual prices of the materials.

Antony

EXCHANGE RATE DIFFERENCE WHILE CUSTOMER CLEARING

Hi,
while clearing the customer through f-32, system is not picking the exch. rate. gain/loss a/c. Also when I am clearing the payment on same date as the payment date, system is not picking the same exchange rate as it is for payment.
Regards,
akash

Hello Akash,
i think this may help:
The currency rate picked up by the system is the current one, not the
rate in the posted document.
However, this can be avoided by setting the flag
flag "XSLTA" (no foreign exchange rate when clearing in Local currency).
in fs03.
Please set this flag and then simulate the clearing with currency
(local currency). Exchange rate differences items are not posted.
Please refer to the field on line documentation for and example and
further information.
Kind regards,

Exchange rate differences for open items (KDM)
Exchange rate differences for open items occur when an invoice and a goods receipt for a purchase order are posted at different exchange rates and the material cannot be debited or credited due to standard price control or stock shortage.
Price differences (PRD)
Price differences occur for materials subject to standard price control for all movements and invoices valuated at a price other than the standard price. Examples: goods receipts for purchase orders when the purchase order price differs from the standard price; goods issues when an amount is entered manually; invoices when the price invoiced differs from both the purchase order price and standard price.
Price differences can also occur for invoices for materials with a moving average price when there is insufficient stock coverage for the quantity invoiced.
Depending on the settings for the posting logic for the processing key PRD, you can work with or without account grouping. If you work with account grouping, the following are used in the standard system:
None for goods and invoice receipts for purchase orders
PRF for goods receipts for production orders and
order settlement
PRA for goods issues and other movements
PRU for transfer postings (price differences for external amounts)

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 Error

Hi,
While posting payment through F-58, we are getting below error :
Ex.rate diff.accts are incomplete for account 0010500400 currency INR
Message no. F5063
Diagnosis
The accounts for posting exchange rate differences could not be determined. For the specified G/L account and the specified currency key, the accounts are only specified incompletely. Either the accounts for the implemented exchange rate difference, the accounts for the valuation differences or the balance sheet adjustment account are missing.
System Response
The system cannot generate the exchange rate difference posting.
Procedure
By pressing ENTER, you achieve that the document is reset to a status without automatic posting. In another window, you can complete default settings for exchange rate differences and post the document afterwards.
Proceed
However, all the necessary settings are made in KDF & KDB. Here we are processing payment for local vendor & the PO, GR, IR is done in INR then at the time of processing payment its giving above mentioned error. We are unable to understand that why system is asking for exchange rate difference account. Please suggest as the issue is urgent.
Regards,
Varsha

Hi Varsha,
As the message mentioned in detail, please check your configuration in tcode OBA1 again.
For Transaction type KDF, you double click to your GL account, and maintain the Valuation loss/gain, balance sheet adjustment in there.
For your ref:
You can read more information about this error in SAP note 12962 - Clearing Foreign Currency Items
