Exchange rate postings

Hi Experts,
How do i change the exchange rate posting under display in general settings from indirect to direct. Transactions have already taken place
Thanks

Hi,
After having transaction in the database, the checkbox cannot be changed.
The checkbox is one of few settings which are irreversible and cannot be changed after transactions have been entered in the database.

Exchange rate for FI postings in Billing

Dear Experts,
Can Exchange rate for FI postings in Billing be determinated by the Pricing date instead of the billing date when we create it?
Br
Sophie

Hi Sophie,
When you create a sales order, the exchange rate is determined only based on the pricing date and not based on the billing date. This is the standard SAP behaviour. You can enable different dates for these and maintain different exchange rates in OB08 to confirm this.
When you create an invoice for such a sales order, two cases can work
If there is no redetermination of pricing, then the exchange rate from SO will just be copied to invoice. The exchange rate will be redetermined only either if there is new pricing or when there is redetermination of exchange rate. Even in this case, the exchange rate is determined only based on the pricing date, not based on billing date. You can confirm this if you maintain two different dates and maintain different exchange rates for these dates.
So what you are asking is already there in system. You only have to reorganise your master data and configuration accordingly for the functionality to take effect.

Partial Exchange Rate Difference Postings following upgrade to 2007

Hi Experts,
My customer has upgraded from 2005 to 2007. The upgrade has posted roughly 1000 "Partial Exchange Rate Difference Recognition" journals.
We understand the reasons why the journals have been posted. The problem we have is that the Jounral is dated at the Due Date of the Invoice, rather than the actual Posting Date of the Incoming Payment.
The Exchange Difference was actually realised at the point the Payment was received. Why has the system posted these journals with a Posting Date of the Invoice Due Date?
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
please refer to SAP note Note [1290491|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290491] - IRU Journal Entries created with incorrect Posting Date.
All the best,

MIRO - Postings during Foreign invoices - Exchange rate variance

Hi
I noticed while posting foreign exchange PO's where there is both price variance and exchange rate difference the system posts price variance in foreign currency with a local currency amount of 0 and posts foreign exchange variance in local currency with a foreign currency amount of 0.
can someone explain whether this is standard SAP? What is the logic? How do we do reporting in such cases?
Thanks
Raj

Hi,
As far as foreign exchange rate variance the entries are correct. The difference will be only in Local Currency and not in transaction currency. For example if the transaction currency is USD and Local currency is INR, when there is a change in exchange rate the difference is recorded only in INR. As far as USD is concerned there is no change.
Thanks

Problem while 're-posting' a cancelle Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference

Hi Gurus,
We are facing a problem while re-posting an Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference. I say re-posting because this invoice was previously posted and reversed on the same date. Here is the scenario along with the relevant postings:
1)
G/R is posted in September when the exchange rate for dollar was, say, Rs. 49 = 1 USD.
Posting:
Service A/C.....100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (Rs. 4900)
2)
MIRO is done in October, when the exchange rate was, say, Rs. 48 = 1 USD. Thus, the exchange difference posting was done in the respective accounts.
Posting:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To Vendor A/C...........90 USD (Rs. 4320)
     To TDS A/C..............10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To Exch. Difference A/C. 0 USD (Rs. 100)
This was the correct entry, however we missed out some TDS codes and thus needed to reverse this entry and repost it.
3)
Now this invoice was reversed (T.Code MIRO) in october itself on exactly the same date on which invoice was created, and it resulted in the following postings:
Vendor A/C......90 USD (Rs. 4320)
TDS A/C.........10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (4800, i.e. 48 * 100, Rs.48 being the exchange rate in october)
4)
Now when we try to post MIRO again, it is posting the following entry:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......97.96 USD (Rs. 4800)
Exch. Difference A/C.....2.04 USD (Rs.    0)
     To Vendor A/C........... 85 USD (Rs. 4080)
     To TDS1 A/C............. 10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To TDS2 A/C............. 5 USD (Rs. 240)
This is a wrong entry. SR/IR clearing A/C should have been debited by 100 USD (Rs. 4900), and the Exch. Rate difference account should have been credited by 0 USD (Rs. 100)
Can someone please help us with this. What the system seems to be doing is, that when the Invoice was reversed, the value that got reversed for SR/IR Clearing A/C was 100 USD but with Rs. 4800 instead of Rs. 4900. Now, when we try to repost the invoice, the system divided this value by the exchange rate prevalent in September, i.e. Rs. 49, thus the resultant value 97.96 USD (i.e. 4800 / 49).
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Angad Nagpal

Solved.
The final entry is correct, as the net result in the G/L balances is the same. For further information please refer to notes 116250 and 46564.

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 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 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.

Exchange Rate difference in MIGO

Hello members,
During MIGO, a material document is created and subsequently an accounting document is created.
BADI has been developed as per the business requirement to post the accounting document by
taking the exchange rate as on the Document Date, wheras, the rate taken as per Material document is
posting date. Subsequently when IR is done, the sytem takes the reference of Material document
as per posting date and the exchange rate is taken as on posting date. On account of GR accounting
document(as per document date) and GR Material document(as per posting date), there exists a
difference and posted to expense account. The business requirement is the system should take
only document date for GR and IR and hence there should not be any exchange rate difference.
Whether ticking the fixed rate in exchange rate in PO will suffice or we have to make some other
settings & developments. Kindly guide.
Thanks in advance,
Sadashivan

Hi Jeyakanthan,
If we check the fixed rate, the system will pick the same rate in IR as it was in GR(Material document), the rate on the
posting date valid as per OB08. But the accounting document created for GR is as per document date which is
different from posting date and rate prevailing on document date is different. Hence, there will be a difference in the
exchange rate in GR and IR accounting documents. Any idea how the system can pick the rate as per document
date in accounting document of GR for IR postings instead of posting date?
Thanks and regards,
Sadashivan

Exchange rate accounting (FI) in header of billing invoice

Hello.
I have got a question about the exchange rate accounting (FI) in the header of the billing invoice.
Situation:
When creating the billing document: on item level the exchange rate type B is correctly taken for the date of billing as determined in the customer master data and the copy control.
BUT what can I do to fix in the header of the billing invoice the exchange rate accounting M from the month of the sells document (usually they issue the sells document one month and the billing document a month later)??
I tried to put the correct exchange rate accounting in the sells document VBKD-KURRF, but the value is not taken automatically in the header of the billing document.
Pressing F1 I get the message: Exchange rate for FI postings
The exchange rate that the system applies when you create an invoice.
Use
Your system is configured in such a way that it expects:
No prefix (leading sign) for direct rates
No prefix for indirect rates
Can anyone help please??
Thank you.
Regards,
Maike

If you are maintaining the exchange rate in sale order in the field VBKD-KURSK (Exch.rate-acct. in header accounting tab) then this rate will be passed on to the billing document header Exchange rate-accntg field.
Check whether the PricingExchRate type field is maintained as blank in the copy controls from delivery to billing.

Exchange Rate determination

Hello Friends,
We have one business requirement related to Exchange rate determination in billing document, and the requirement is -
We have more than 100 company codes across global, in that for particular company codes example A001 (France), A002 (Malaysia) the exchange rate in billing document needs to determine as daily exchange rate which is different from average monthly exchange rate. This rate is only applicable for billing document but nor for any inventory or financial (other than AR) or any other. It means at the company code level, busienss wants to maintain average exchange rate which is needed for other FI postings as explained.
Hence the requirement is, in the billing document I need to determine daily exchange rate instead of averate monthe exchange for revenue postings, and the exchange type for daily exchange is "D".
Is there any standard approach where I can able to determine daily exchange instead of averate monthly....
Thanks to share your inputs
Best Regards,
Goutham

I need to determine daily exchange rate instead of averate monthe exchange
the exchange type for daily exchange is "D".
I never come across this requirement and also on your second comment, I doubt whether in standard, one could see the exchange rate type "D" and I am unable to confirm this as I dont have access to SAP right now. Nevertheless, what I would suggest is that you can create a new exchange rate type in OBO7 and maintain a daily exchange rates in OBO8. Hope this should work.
thanks

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)

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.
Regards
Antony
