Exchange Rate results in Additioanl Actuals

Hi All,
I have an issue with the report S_ALR_87013558, especially where multiple currencies are concerned. One of our projects has been running since 2008 and there is a PO connected with this Project for the same period. The PO has a fixed exchange rate of 6.3. Thus 1 $ will give you 6.3 local currency. The problem arises where the exchange rate changes over time and actuals are posted (MIGO/MIRO) at the committed $ amount but varying local currency amounts.
Due to this, commitments in the S_ALR_87013558 report are understated in local currency. Example would be $4000 = 1000 local currency when it fact it should be +- 24 000 local currency. The system reduced the local currency committed amount with the higher actual values, effectively reducing with more that it shold have.
Final example given to illustate the point
PO commitment of $1000. Local currency commitment of 6300. Service entry sheet and invoicing done at exchange rate of 6.8. Thus we have commitment reducing in local currency of 6800 instead of 6300, thus commitments are understated with 500 local currency.
Kind Regards;
Werner

Reporting is correct only, system is reducing the commitment by actual posted (system wont check whether you entered different exchange rate during PR and now changed different) as it is real time data.
In my earlier reply I mentioned it is a standard behavior.
Please make a "Z" report as you required..!

Use an alternative Exchange Rate Type for activity actual price

Dear All,
I try to use an alternative Exchange Rate (not M) in controlling area version "0", I need to use a custom currency exchange rate like in planned price (here I create a new planned version with exchange rate "N").
I find same notes and it seems that standard Sap use only Exchange Rate "M" for actual price but I notice that for example in transaction KB21N (activity allocation) system shows in additional info exchange rate "N" (input in version "0").
Is not possibile to use other Exchange Rate for actual price, activity allocation, for confirmed activity in production order?
Controlling area has currency type 30 (group currency EUR), this company has MXN.
Thanks in advance for your support
Daria

In KB21N (activity allocation), system uses the exchange rate type you have maintained in controlling area version plan settings (transaction OKEQN). Activity allocation during the month always happen at the planned price maintained in KP26 at the exchange rate specified in plan version. During actual price calculation and revaluation during month end, it calculates actual activity price at (uses M rate to convert to controlling area currency) and revaluates consumption.
I think you cannot use other exchange rate, see the coding in include LKSPIF00 that is used in KSII where currency type is hard coded to M, if this is plan price calculation it's picking tka07-kurst.

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.

Accounting exchange rate not picking while running result analysisKKA2

Hi All,
WHile running Result analysis with KKA2 the accounting exchange rate not picking correctly.
When we run the KKA2 from may to sep it is taking may month as default rate and it is extending to june aug,sep instead of seperate exchange rates for each month.
We compared all configurations for this RA key with existed RA key .All the setting are one and the same.in OKG2,OKG3,OKG4,OKG5
PLease help ...
Regards,
Mohan

Hi srikanth,
It is not daily exchange rate.
Actually we copied PS LCR RA key to PS IAS.
PS LCR is working fine and it is picking correctly for the respective months.
Where as In PS IAS it is taking starting month and same continuing for other consecutive months.

Incorrect exchange rate for Actual cost documents

Dear all experts,
I have an actual cost documents which was created on 02.10.2006,it should be taking the value date for currency exchange as 01.09.2006,but it is taking 01.
04.2006 hence it resulting in picking wrong exchange rate.Any solution to solve it and what is the cause of this issue? Thank You

hie, the currency is set in the table TCURR. the time rederence ? sorry,I am very new to this.the user just told me to that the currency for actual cost taken wrongly,all i managed to check is tat the value date for currency translation for tat particular actual cost document is 01.04.2006,tat's y it took the wrong exchange rate. And i guess the exchange rate is already updated in BW.

How to get actuals at budget exchange rate

Hi All,
I am working on a multi currency planning application.
I want to do variance reproting wherein I have to calculate variance between actual * actual exchage rate and actual * budget exchange rate.
What can be the best way to do this?

To get actuals at budget exchange rate the normal practice is to have another scenario called something like actual_bud_rate where you have the budget exchange rates loaded.
The variance can then be accomplished in many ways whether that be via SmartView, Financial Reports, or creating another scenario and using one of the variance functions @VAR, @VARPER.
The key to any of the methods for variance is that new scenario and loading the budget rates to that scenario.

Message appears at time of query results: NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM

I am executing query using a new currency translation type "ZPERAVG". Variable time reference is defined on End of period for 0FISCPER with exchange rate M1 (Monthly Average). Tested successfully. Purpose is to represent monthly values at differing monthly conversion rates. When I employ this object in existing queries I am getting informational messages as follow:
NO EXCHANGE RATE FROM EUR to USD and Date 01/31/2004. This repeats 23 other time for periods to 12/31/2005. My TCURR table does not include these M1 conversions. First period is 01/31/2006. Is there a way around this nuisance message. It will only confuse the user community.
A second information message also may occur: Error occurred during currency .... however, results appear correct.
I have no explanation as to why these random messages appear.

You will have to upate TCURR with monthly average exchange rates for each month starting with January 2004 and going through December 2005, for conversion from Euros to US Dollars. The error being thrown is truly an error because the system is unable to calculate the conversion due to no exchange rate being available for the timeframe.

OB08 currency exchange rates actually used in system

Hello All,
We are currently in the process of evaluating vendors for a daily FX rate upload. During the vendor evaluation process, we realized that upwards of 650 cross rates are entered into the system on a monthly basis and the team uploading the rates are not sure all are being used. Since the daily FX upload is priced per exchange rate that is passed we'd like to make sure all of the current exchange rates maintained in OB08 are actually being used in the system. Does anyone have ideas on how to obtain what currency exchange rates are actually used. We're hoping to reduce our number of cross rates passed in the daily feed by elimating the exchange rates that are not used but I'm not sure how to find that out. Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers,
Jordan

You could download all entries in table BKPF and derive unique values in currency key (WAERS). Those are the foreign currencies that you are using in your system. You need exchange rates between those currencies and your local currency/group currency and also between your local currency and group currency.

Exchange rate differences posting failed due to manual journal entries

when i run exchange rate differences and try to post the result, system shows "No matching recording found 'journal entry' (OJDT) (ODBC-2028) [message 131-183]" at the bottom panel ane the posting was failed. then i found the problem is actually from manual journal entries made to a business partner. as long as i deselect the manual journal entries, the posting was successfully done.
i am using B1 2007B with pl09. is this standard in B1 2007B that exchange rate differences posting does not work with manual journal entries of BP?

you are right! it is a bug in 2007B.
The posting has no problem if the base reference number is same as the transaction number in the manual JE document. however, if we define a numbering series which is different from the transaction serial number, then we have problem with the posting. System searchs for the JE records by using base reference number as transaction number. That is why it could not find the JE document and then report the error message.
so, where should i post the bug to SAP and let them fix the bug as soon as possible?
thanks for the help!

Different currency exchange rate at time of sales order and invoicing

Hi Friends,
Actually,we are facing a crucial problem in Export where we would like to have the current currency exchange rate to be applicable both at excise and commercial invoice.
Regards,
Praveen

Hi Ankur,
Thanks for your reply.But our problem is sales order,exchange rates are defined with M type in OB08 as u have said.However when the periods are different for order entry and invoice generation we are facing the following problem.Orders are at old exchange rates and excise invoice is getting generated at current exchange rate.This is resulting in value difference between commercial invoice and excise invoice.
Please help.

Alternate Exchange Rate Type Not Picked while converting from Document Currency to Group Currency

Hello Gurus,
We have setup an alternate Exchange Rate type MNB for rate M for the postings happening in Hungary. Local currency is HUF. Group currency is USD.
If the document currency is, lets say, EUR, latest MNB rate is correctly picked up (EUR to HUF) and postings are correctly converted into local currency (HUF).
Although, for the same document, when a group currency is being calculated (EUR to USD), exchange rate type M is being picked up. Same happens if document currency is HUF. Even then, the conversion is based on exchange rate type M.
Is this a normal SAP behavior? How to prevent/correct this? This is also throwing off balances when we check in FAGLB03 or BSEG values in local and group currencies. In OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M and we may not want to make any changes there as it is setup at global level.
Do we need to run any valuations after the fact? if so, how?
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
You mentioned that "in OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M". Then, I'm wondering how MNB is picked up for the first local curr. conversion to HUF? It should be 'M' instead. There must be some settings in your instance for such behavior. Can you check that?
Actually, Group Curr. conversion happens with the rate defined for 2nd Loc.Curr.in OB22 which is 'M' in your case. Therefore, all the transactions are converted with M instead of MNB.
Since you can't change OB22 per global co.policy, the exch.rate defined in OBA7 will overrule OB22. However, you've to make sure it's set up for all doc.types which are affected and posted in different curr. than HUF.
As a workaround, another thought would be to maintain the same conversion rate for both exch.rate types MNB & M, for eg. HUF > USD rate is the same both exch.rate type MNB & M. This way, you ensure all transactions are posted with correct exch.rate irrespective of whatever rate type is used.
From business, & global org. perspective, I'm sure they are sending the 'M' exch.rates to all their sister concerns monthly, so they would like to consolidate results as per standard rate in their system. Then, why ,as a local company, would you like to fiddle with standard process? It's a management decision, please run them through again before going ahead.
Thanks,

Currency conversion with the wrong exchange rate type

Hi,
I need a currency conversion in my bex query. I have defined a currency translation key with a assignment to the exchange rate type "M".
When I check the results in the query it works with exchange rate type "EURX".
Exchange rates are in the TCURR.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hello,
We just had the same issue, and in checking the Currencies: Translation Ratios in transaction OBBS, I noticed that the currency translation key in question was set up with an entry of "EURX" in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I copied the line and created a new entry with a "Valid From" date of the current month, but without the "EURX" Alt. ERT alternate and that seemed to solve it.
Anything entered with a date after the new Valid From date would use the manually entered exchange rate, while anything with a prior date continued to use the EURX rate.
It appears to me that the "Alt. ERT" functions more as an override than an alternate, so if you want the system to actually use the "M" rate, I believe you have to ensure there is nothing in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I hope this helps.

Fixed Exchange Rate Posting

Hi Friends,
Just a quick one,I am trying to post a journal entry with a fixed exchange rate that is different from the system exchange rate, when I type in the amount, the system still uses the system exchage rate to calculate the value despite the fact that I checked the exchange rate box and filled in different rate.
Is there something I have to set-up before I can achieve this posting with fixed exchange rate?
I will really appreciate your usual help.
Regards

hi,
Exchange Rate
If you created a journal entry with an exchange rate different than the one defined in the Exchange Rate and Indexes table, select this checkbox and type the exchange rate used for that specific journal entry.
This information is essential when revaluating reports. When setting the parameters for revaluation, and choosing the option to refer to the rates defined in journal entries, SAP Business One performs the revaluation according to the exchange rate you type in this field.
If you do not select this option, the revaluation results might be inaccurate, since SAP Business One will consider the exchange rate defined in the Exchange Rate and Indexes table, and not the actual rate used in the journal entry.

How system calculate Exchange Rate for material?

I have some doubt how system calculate exchange rate for material when doing GR.
For example, standard price of material is 0.01 USD per ea. PO is created in foreign currency (THB) with qty: 40,000 ea (THB 2,852.00)
Actually when I do GR ea then accounting doc is:
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB)
for 2nd and 3rd line item, exchange rate M (THB -> USD) is 0.03108 which is correct.
Could anyone advise where system get exchange rate for 1st line item?

Hi
First of all, as mentioned by you, the exchange rate for Item 2 and 3 is not 0.03108.. It is as below, based on the figures given by you...
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)........ Exch rate is 0.03125
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)....... Exch rate is 0.03108
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB).... Exch rate is 0.0313
I guess the item 3 is just a derivation from Items 1 and 2.. The Price diff results as a difference between std cost and purchase price...
I believe, the exchange rate would have been 0.03125 at the time of GR... You need to check this in your system... For sure, it uses exch rate type M in the standard... Check if 0.03125 (USD -> THB) or 32 THB -> USD exists in your system at all
Item 2 is based on your PO negotiated rate...

Exchange rate at IV and GR

hi all ,
During invoice verification and goods receipt , exchange rate depend on whether the invoice date or posting date ?
thanks
laxman

Hi lakshman,
there are two types of exchange rates
fixed and current exchange rate,
if it is fixed in PO check the " exange rated fixed " button,
If this rate is fixed, the system uses the exchange rate from the purchase
order to convert the foreign currency to the local currency at goods receipt
and at invoice receipt.
If the exchange rate is not fixed,
the system uses the current exchange rate
to convert the foreign currency to the local currency at goods receipt. In
Invoice Verification, the system also suggests the current exchange rate as
the exchange factor, but you can change it.
If the exchange rate is not fixed, exchange rate differences can occur as a result of
using different exchange rates. Exchange rate differences are actually the same as
price differences. The way that the system posts exchange rate differences depends
on the settings that have been made in Customizing for Materials Management
under
Logistics Invoice Verification → Incoming Invoice → Configure How
Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated.
They are applicable on invoice date only
if this is useful reward points
