F.05 - Foreign currency valuation of customers and vendors

Hello all,
My client wants to post the valuation differences realized gain/loss from exchange rates for customer and vendor open items to the customer/vendor account itself.
Meaning, at the moment the F.05 creates the accounting documents for revaluation of customer/vendor accounts like this:
Balance sheet adjustment account = Gain realized account or
Loss realized = Balance sheet adjustment account
and the required acc doc is:
Customer/vendor = Gain
Loss = Customer/Vendor account
What configuration are neccessary for the required acc doc to be posted automatically the differences.
Or is this even possible?
I mention that for G/L bank and house accounts valuations the acc doc is correct.
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

Hi
It is not possible to post the Re-Valuation Document to a Sub Ledger Account. Generally it is posted to an Adjust Accout and offsett will be Gain / Loss Account.
If your Customer Recon Acct is 124000 then a new account e.g 124001 need to be created and then Re-Valuation Document will be posted to this account once you configure the same in OB09.
The New Account 124001 will also be a Balance Sheet Account but not a Recon Account.
I am sure that the client wants to post the Revaluation Document to AR / AP instead of to a Balance Adjustment Account. It does not mean to post directly to subledger account.
Thanks

Foreign Currency Valuation - SAPF100 - Customers

We are testing running CTA on customers and vendors. I have run it for the date of 7/31/2007 in August with the 'Reverse postings' clicked on.
The vendor accounts posted the CTA entries and the reversing entries.
The customer accounts posted only the CTA entries.
Why would the customer reversals not get posted ?
We are version 4.6C using transaction F.05.
Thanks

Foreign Currency Valuations (F-05) and Tax Report (S_ALR_87012357)

Dear all,
Version: 4.7 R/3
Previous steps: To adjust Local Currency we have to post by using F-05.
All line items have amount 0 for Document Currency and amount XXX for Local Currency. There is a line item of this type for Output VAT as well.
Problem: After posting the document, we obtain the report S_ALR_87012357 "Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases" in Local Currency; although the column "Tax Base Amount" is including the amount adjusted by F-05, the column "To be paid over", and therefore, the "Balance" is not considering the amount of the adjustment document.
Additional Keys: I saw in SAP Note 1009578 that due to a program error, the Cash Management doesn't update line items with document currency or local currency with amount 0, even if the other amount respectively was not equal to zero.
Request: I ignore whether it could be the same problem or not. Maybe I have overlooked something. Could you provide your inputs? Thanks.
Please help,

Hi,
First define the Currency rates under the head of general settings - currency - enter exchange rates (ob08).
Create Foriegn Exch loss or gain GL a/c under current liability, with open item management.
And in OBA1 for Sundry Debtors you assign the Foriegn Exch loss or gain a/c under both tab (realised loss and gain, and even in valuation loss and gain). You do same for Sundry creditos also..

Shiva

Forex Revaluation for customers and vendors

Hi,
I ran FAGL_FC_VAL for period end for forex valuation of customers and valuation. Following Entry is posted:
Unrealised Loss A/c... Dr
To Forex balancesheet adjustment A/c
Forex balancsheet adjustment A/c is normal GL account.
Now i want to see vendorwise and customerwise forex valuation. Let me know how to get this report.

Hi Deepak,
I feel very sorry to say that there is not report to display the foreign currency valuation for customers and vendors. But I think you could defined difference reconciliation account for customers and vendors, then defined a foreign
balancesheet adjustment A/c per reconciliation account in OBA1,then you could confirm the value in FS10K or FBL3N.
Hope this information are useful to you!

Create items by vendor and customer on Foreign Currency Valuation

When we execute Foreign Currency Valuation, we would like to create items in a document by vendor and customer.
Can we handle it a 'Corp.group-vendors' flag(Evaluate Accounts According to Group Definition) ?
Can you help with this issue please?
Thanks,
Sato.Ishikawa

HI,
With the report SAPF100, you will be able to valuate foreign currencies
from customer and vendor accounts.
It is not possible to post a foreign currency valuation directly to a
vendor or customer account. This is only possible for g/l accounts.
You can refer to the following workarounds:
From the technical point of view you can use FB01 to post such a posting
You have to enter a exchange rate manually in the first screen. In this
case this exchange rate is used instead of the exhange rate of table
TCURR (transaction OB08).
You have to choose a exchange rate which transfer the amount in local
currency to 0,00 in foreign currency.Another possibility is to use
RFBIBL00 in transfer type direct input for FB01.An amount of 0 in
foreign currency should work.
The system is designed not to post documents with 0 amount in foreign
currency to vendors/customers.

Foreign currency valuation (new) for vendors and costumers open items

Dear friends,
Is there any option that when i run the foreign currency valuation program (fagl_fc_val) for vendors and costumers open line items not to generate the reverse posting? I have read in the sap library that the reverse posting is optional and the when you pay the invoice the system works the difference out between the valuation and the exchange rate of the payment, but i can not find it in customizing.
thanks in advance
marc

I also like to add that it is best to post reversal because normally the revaluation entry is posted on the last date of the month and the reversal entry is posted on the first day of the following month, which means that the following month will have a new entry on the last date independent of the entry made in the prior month.
The idea of posting the valuation entry is to value the customer and vendor open items which were posted (let us say 3 months ago in a foreign currency) with the latest exchange rate as of the end of the month. This way these payables and receivables stand corrected.
Is there any reason why you don't want to post the reversal entry?

Nonleading ledgers and foreign currency valuation

HI all,
we are in ecc 6.0 and using new gl.
Do you need to carry our foreign currency valuation in no leading ledgers as well
if you have any .and this non leading ledger is used as there is a company code in foreign
country.???
any inputs are welcome please.
Thanks,
Sai.

What is the need for parallel ledger in the new GL concept?
There are up to 4currencies available within the Leading Ledger:
Transaction currency
Company code/local currency
Up to two parallel reporting currencies as assigned in FI
The strategy with regard to the technical mapping of parallel financial reporting (parallel ledgers in general ledger, account solution, company code solution) is that the your requirements determine whether parallel general ledgers or the account solution is more appropriate with only one leading general ledger. There could significant disadvantages caused by the high proportion of manual postings.

Foreign Currency Valuation customers, (outstanding invoices) F.05

After using F.05 for foreign currency valuation I am surprised by example outstanding CHF invoices keep the same EURO figures.
When I look to the report F.05 gives after using the session it shows a calculation for each CHF invoices to the new EURO figures,
but after processing the batch with SM35 there is no change of the EURO figures by these invoices.
After a while I noticed this kind of currency differences are booked on another GL account.
So there is one GL account for outstanding debtors and another one what gets the currency rate differences after using F.05.
Never the less is it not very strange when I am using line items reports to show the invoices of outstanding debtors that on invoice level the EURO figures still have the same figures?
By example 42000 CHF are equal 25000 EUR and after using F.05 the report says this 42.000 CHF are equal to 28000 EUR.
I should expect the EUR figures of 28000 would I see back in the oustainding invoice reporting, but that's still showing the old amount of 25000.
I know SAP shows the difference on another GL account but is it not strange this kind of currency differences are not in the outstanding invoices figures. I should expect by the invoices the EUR figures after currency valuation.
Is this how SAP works? Or did we something wrong when we set up our own SAP version?:-)

Hi,
This is how the accounting is done. Basically at the year end the foreign exchange gain or loss is accounted for in a separate account of respective master data like customer , vendor & profit and loss is effected. generally FAGL_FC_VAL is used where there is ecc 6. And the reversal date is set for this effect. At the start of the year this entry is revesed. And the actual gain or loss is accounted for at the time of liabilty/ income crystalisation i.e. payment\ receipt of foreign exchange.

Why foreign currency valuation is required ?

Hi.
I just want to clear my doubt. If we deal with foreign vendors or customers like vendor invoice is done through USD or EUR or GBP but payment is not made till now or customer invoices are done but payment is not received from them in month of August. In that case if we run foreign currency valuation of open vendor invoices and open customer invoices on 31st August it will generate accounting entry and next day i.e, 1st September accounting entry will be reversed. So my question is we have not received from customer and we have not paid to vendor, invoices are still open from customer and vendor side. So if we run foreign currency valuation what will be its actual effect in the business and if we not run foreign currency valuation what are the problems may arrises because later if we pay to vendor through foreign currency then actual loss / gain effect will arrise in our business scenario.
Kindly give me reply.

hi
As part of the period end process, and in anticipation of creating a period-end financial statement, all accounts held in foreign currency and all foreign currency open items must be re-valued at the period end rate. There are two tools within the SAP ERP Packaged Solution for this purpose:
Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Balance Sheet Accounts: The program selects every balance sheet account, typically cash accounts, that is held in a foreign currency and re-values the total balance at the currently valid rate. Any (sterling) exchange rate difference is posted to a realised gains/losses account.
Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Open Item Accounts: Open item accounts managed in GBP, such as debtors and creditors, may contain foreign currency transactions. The program will individually revalue each open item to determine an overall unrealised foreign exchange gain or loss position. The realised exchange rate gain/loss is posted when the transaction is cleared.
It is a statutory requirement to meet hte FAS52 and GAAP requirements

Regrouping , Foreign currency valuation

Hi All,
Can anyone explain the use of regrouping(F101) and foreign currency valuation (F.05) ?

Hi Manisha,
Please find below mentioned the functionality of the reports.
F.101-This report groups the receivables and payables according to a required
list, for example, the "EU Guideline No. 4", and carries out transfer
postings.
Additional adjustment postings are necessary in the following cases:
o   Customers with credit balances and vendors with debit balances
o   Changed reconciliation accounts or partner (affiliated company)
o   Display of investments
All accounts that are managed on an open item basis are taken into
account.
Sorting of items:The decision as to whether an account is sorted according to receivables or payables depends on the financial statement value of an account. This is the balance of the account per reconciliation account and remaining
life. If several accounts are connected by the same trading partner, the joint financial statement value of the account group created determines
the type of sorting. If the balance is positive, the account is sorted
according to receivables, if the balance is negative, the account is
sorted according to payables. You define the sort methods required in
Customizing.Alternatively, several accounts can be summarized in a group whose joint balance is used for sorting. The definition for the corporate group is
used as group definition for customers and vendors. For G/L accounts,
there is a separate field in the G/L account master record.
For credit memos with an invoice reference, the due dates are taken from
the invoice.Vendors with debit balances and customers with credit balances are
determined separately for each point in the sorted list, since only
items with virtually the same remaining life may be balanced with each
other.
The documents are totaled under the current reconciliation account of
the customer or vendor master record. If the reconciliation account is
changed, the amounts are transferred from the old reconciliation account to the new reconciliation account.
Investments: In some countries (for example, France), investments must be displayed separately. You use parameters to select this additional display. The
investments are then displayed as a total per reconciliation account and
transferred.
Postings
For every transfer posting created, a reverse posting is also entered in
the session. For reconciliation accounts in the customer or vendor area,
postings are also made to an adjustment account.
If you use a target company code, all items are summarized under the
target company code and then processed. The company codes selected must
be managed in the same currency however (for example, local currency,
group currency).
If you use an alternative valuation area, account determination for the
transfer posting is carried out from the valuation area selected.
==========================================================
F.05- This program carries out the foreign currency valuation.
The following items/accounts are valuated:
o   Open items
o   Foreign currency balance sheet accounts. This means G/L accounts
    that are managed in a foreign currency.
You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
o   You can carry out the valuation in local currency or a parallel   local currency (for example, group currency).
You can use different valuation methods (for example, HGB or US
GAAP).
e result of the valuations can be stored per valuated document and
sted to adjustment accounts and P&L accounts.
ation process
lection
Open items:
The customer, vendor, and G/L account open items on the key date a
read and balanced by account or group and currency.
G/L account balances:
Reconciliation accounts and accounts managed on an open item basis
are not valuated. P&L accounts are only valuated as required: See
also: "FASB 52 Translation".
Grouping
The documents or balances are balanced by currency and account (or
group/valuation group). The exchange rate type for the valuation is
determined from this balance.
Valuation
o   Open items:
    The items that are untranslated at the key date are summarized per
    invoice reference or account/group.
    If the result does not correspond to the method selected, for
    example, if a profit arises using the lowest value principle, no
    valuation difference is output.
o   G/L account balances:
    The balance is translated per currency and account/group on the key
    date. The valuation difference determined is compared with the
    valuation method specified (for example, lowest value principle).
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Foreign currency valuation for GR/IR clearing account is repeatedly posting

While executing foreign currency valuation (program SAPF100) through T code F.05 the following fields are selected for the spotted rate valuation for currency type 10.
A)     Valuate G/L account open items
B)     Evaluate GR/IR account (GR/IR clearing account is selected)
C)     Valuate customer open items
After execution the valuation postings are repeated in GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adj account while the postings in other accounts occur only once.
GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adjustment account is configured in OB09 for GR/IR account for respective currency type and local currency.
What could be the reason for repeated postings in FC valuation account?

I think there is some issue with the process, normally vendor/customer reconciliation account or some liability assets related account which has impact due to foreign currency rate changes needs to be revaluated. I don't understand why you have set up foreign currency valuation for GR/IR account, these are intermediatory account which reflects in system between for example GR and IR.
I also think that you need more information on foreign currency valuation, basically it happens on a particular key date and gets reversed on key date + 1, because revaluation is only required on a key date for reporting purposes. on the next day it get reversed and actual loss or profit on foreign currency only gets booked on realization.
Hope this helps!!!
