Foreign currency payments

Hi all,
we have an issue related to foreign currency payments. Below a short action plan what we are doing:
1. Import invoices through the 'Payables Open Interface Import'
2. Validate the invoices with 'Invoice Validation'
3. Populate the ap_inv_selection_criteria_all
4. We call the 'Payment Process Request Program'
5. We call 'Build Payments'
6. We call 'Create Accounting'
7. We call 'Transfer Journal Entries to GL'
If we now have foreign currency payments it will not take the exchange rate from ap_inv_selection_criteria_all. Due to this data in the below tables is missing:
AP_CHECKS_ALL - missing: EXCHANGE_RATE
AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL - missing: EXCHANGE_RATE, PAYMENT_BASE_AMOUNT
AP_PAYMENT_HISTORY_ALL - missing: PMT_TO_BASE_XRATE, TRX_BASE_AMOUNT
Due to this we generate payments, but the whole accounting will fail with 'Missing rates'
Any one who knows which columns in the ap_inv_selection_criteria_all must be populated for foreign currency payments?
We populate: exchange_rate, exchange_date, exchange_type
But it seems like this is not sufficient.
Environment:
12.1.3 Apps
11.2.0.2 DB
We already have a data fix. But the issue will occur everytime we have a foreign currency invoice which has to be processed.
Thanks,
Kai

Foreign Currency Payments are not Picking up Exchnage Rates

Hi,
We are on R12.0.6 and while entering foreign currency payments the system is not picking up the exchange rate. It is only allowing us to enter USER exchange rate. The field of exchange rate on Payment form is greyed out and not showing anything.
We have checked the rates and these are present in system. The same rates are picked up by invoice entry screens but for payments it gives us no exchange rate found.
Has anyone faced this problem.

Well, it seems that the "Exchange Rate" field on the Payment form populates when the user selects the Bank Account before the Payment Date field. Previously we were entering the information first in the Payment Date field and than selecting the Bank Account. This was preventing the Exchange Rate field from being populated with the rate.
I just changed the order of the entry and it worked perfectly. Now first we select the bank from which payment is going to take take place and than the date, and the exchange rate is automatically picked up from the rates table.

Where are defined in SAP bank clearance clauses / foreign currency payment?

Hi All,
with reference to foreign money transfer, I'd like to know where are defined in SAP the bank clearance clause (foreign currency payment).
Thanks

Hello,
This is the classical payment medium payment program for Italy.
You must have defined this in FBZP transaction code.
Payment methods in country.
Double click on your country & Payment method.
You must have defined at
Use classic payment medium programs (RFFO*)
Base on this your file gets generated and saved on to a secured directory.

Clearing foreign currency payments against local currency bank account

Hi all
We have foreign currency invoices (eg in USD, EUR) and would like to pay these from a AUD domestic bank account. Is this common practice or does the client need to enter such invoices in their external bank specific terminal to process such payments if they have a domestic currency bank account.
How does the Electronic bank Statement (which is in AUD) clear these foreign currency invoices (EFT clearing account or suspense account). I presume we would have to post to a suspense account clearing and then do a manual post with clearing after loading the bank statement. However, the amounts do not balance to zero as i cannot clear items off as they are in different document currencies as noted below.
INVOICE
cr vendor 100USD   200AUD - cleared by payment program
dr expense 100USD   200AUD
PAYMENT PROGRAM
cr Sus clg 100USD   210AUD
dr vendor 100USD   200AUD - Cleared by payment program
dr FX g/l    0USD    10AUD
ELECT. BANK STATEMENT
dr Sus clg 205AUD
cr Cash    205AUD
What would be the standard approach for such postings from an SAP bank accounting functionality point of view.
Is there a better way of design the above payment process.

Hi,
this is a hard task.
You have to play with the GL account master data. See documentation for field "Only balances in local crcy". It is quite good described for the clearing in foreign currencies.
Also I have some doubts that there were settings in FI for foreign currencies clearing, but I have never customize it.
Hope I helped you (if so... points reward would be highly appreciated )

Alex

Foreign currency Payment using foreign currency bank account

Hi,
We have the following requirement:
Functional currency : GBP
Bank Account :USD
Need to make payments in CAD
Since the bank account is not in functional currency we are unable to make that multi currency payment enabled. Users do not want to create a functional currency bank account.
Now how to overcome this situation ?

Hi, I am referring to paying foreign currency (ap payments) using non functional currency bank accounts. Are you referring to payment or receipts in foreign currency ?
Please refer the in 11i ap guide
1. pg 2-104
"Dening Multiple Currency Bank Accounts
A multiple currency bank account is an account that accepts payments in more than one currency.
If you define a multiple currency bank account for payments, the currency of the bank account must be the same as your functional currency."
2. Payment Formats pg 2-140
" When you define a bank account, you can only allow payment of multiple currency invoices if the bank account currency is your functional currency."
These 2 states that you can pay suppliers in foreign currency only if the bank acct currency through which you are paying is same as functional currency. But my bank account currency is different from functional currency.
Since you say you are doing , I am quite interested to find out more.Can you please let me know your currency setups on the bank and payment format.
Thanks

Foreign Currency Payment

Could anyone explain this senario to me?
One supplier in USA issued the bills in USD and we recorded the invoice in SAP in USD as well, later on we paid them off while from the outgoing module and choose the usd as currency and from my USD bank account, suppose there will be no any FC exchange loss or gain, (as we pay usd to the supplier as well)however when i see the journal entry which link to the payment PS, still there is one difference was posted to the realised FC exchanged gain or loss account.
shouldn't it be posted to the unrealised FC exchanged gain or loss account instead of the realised one? how can i change it?

I suggest to run exchange rate differences and disregard the conversion differences.
The unrealized gain/loss and realized gain/loss different is exchange different gain/loss differences before and after running transactions either payment, marketing document, etc.
For general definition:
1. Unrealized Gain :A profit that results from holding on to an asset rather than cashing it in and using the funds.
E.g. Let's say you own a stock that has doubled, but you haven't sold it yet. This is said to be an unrealized gain.
2. Unrealized loss:
A loss that results from holding onto an asset rather than cashing it in and officially taking the loss.
E.g. Let's say you own a stock that is down 50%, but you haven't sold it to realize the loss yet. This is said to be an unrealized loss.
The vice versa is valid for realized gain/loss.

Foreign Currency Payments through DI Server (SOAP)

Hi All,
I am using the DI Server SOAP interface, and I am trying to add an IncomingPayment in EUR (our system currency is GBP). I have noticed an issue when trying to do this: It cannot be done unless there is a global exchange rate set for that currency on the document date, no matter what fields I populate in the IncomingPayment. This presents a problem, since although there is a GetCurrencyRate function, there is no SetCurrencyRate function that I can find...
We are using SAP 8.8 PL12 currently.
My SOAP message (which works perfectly when a global exchange rate is set for the day):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Is there a way of setting the global currency rate through the SOAP interface that I have not spotted? Or is there a particular set of fields that can be populated in an IncomingPayment that allow it to be processed despite the lack of a global exchange rate?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Foreign Vendor payment

I entered an invoice from a foreign vendor who billed in foreign currency but wants to get paid in US dollar by bank transfer. The system correctly converted the foreign currency to US dollar. But in automatic payment run, it did not pay the vendor. The job log displayed the error "payment with currency BDT, payment method:no valid payment procedure". It also displayed "payment is not possible, beacuse of reported error" Payment proposal list shows " Error 006 No valid payment method found"
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Your suggestion will

Hi Rashid,
Check in transaction FBZP-> payment methods in company code-> select the payment method you are using , check the foreign payments/foreign currency payment

Payment program F110 for Vendor Open Item in Foreign currency

Dear sap Guru
Is it possible to Ensures that no exchange rate differences are posted by the payment
Program? I mean: The amount in the bank posting in local currency does not result from translating the foreign currency amount at the current rate but from the total of the local currency amounts from the settled items.
Best regards
marco

Dear PAtel,
I checked and the ther eis the check box 'No exchange rate differences' anyway during the payment program execution the system is making some recalculation for open item in fc.
Someone knows what is the coloumn "Valuation Difference" in the Dysplay Payment Proposal Open Item list?
regards

Foreign Currency Loan (with multiple re-payments schedule)

Hello Experts.
Please provide me with your inputs on product types to be used for foreign currency loan borrowed with multiple repayments schedule
For Ex:
I took foreign currency loan on 1st July 2013 - 10000$ @ 1% interest.
Now I need to make payment of 2500$ after every six months.
Like 2500$ on 1st January 2014
Another 2500$ on 1st July 2014
Third installment 2500$ on 1st January 2015
Final part 2500$ on 1st July 2015.
How do i map above scenario?. Is there some separate product type for such scenario. At present, I am using product type 55A which has one end term.
Please provide with your inputs.
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
this is quite straightforward - you can use e.g. Product type 55A (Product category - 550 - Interest rate instrument) and in a tab 'Structure' in a field group 'Repayment structure' choose '2 - Installment repayment' and specify an installment amount (in your case 2500$) and also frequency of the installment repayment (like 6 months in your case).
of course, you have to verify that relevant Condition types are correctly defined in Customizing.
Kind regards,
Renatas

F110 - Payment in foreign Currency

Dear Experts,
We have a strange case, and requesting the SAP behaviour for this case.
The document (Invoice posted) in "SDR" special Dinar Rate (not standard currency), and the Local Currency is BHD - Bahraini Dinar, and wanted to pay in Foreign Currency in "EUR". mainted the payment currency in the document.
As far as I know system will check exchange rates for conversion from SDR - BHD and then BHD - EUR, so maintaining these two combinations are enough.
But strangely I am getting error while processing F110 automatic payment program, system is giving error "Enter the Rate EUR/SDR rate type M for 04.08.2010 in the system". Message No. SG 105
I am facing this error after we upgraded to ECC 6.0 from ERP 4.7 in March 2010. Paying in EUR is rarely happens.
Awaiting your kind reply.
Regards,
Francis

Hi Sayeed,
As far as I know we don't need to maintain the direct relationship between SDR vs EUR as the system logic for currency conversion is from Document currency to Local currency and Local currency to Payment currency.
We hadn't had such issue before, we are facing after we upgrade to ECC 6.0.
Please refer to this note, I guess it is a bug in program. Refer Note: 1413445.

Francis

Payments in foreign currency

hi
when payments made for foreign currency transactions, what postings are made to balnce sheet adjustment account for foreign vendor? how is this account adjusted after payment is made so that true reflection of vendors can be reported.
tx

Hi,
When the revaluation program is run (normally during month end), the foreign currency transactions will get revaluated and the loss/gain gets posted to the B/S adjustment account.
If the program, in the above step, was run with the "Reverse posting" indicator marked, the documents created in the above step would be reversed automatically on the 1st day of the next month. Thus the adjustment account gets set off.
If the "Reverse posting" indicator was NOT set, then during the invoice payment, the adjustment entry (from the first step) gets reversed. In the payment document you can find an additional entry that sets off the B/S adjustment account.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike

Down payment request in foreign currency

Xperts,
I am facing the following issue. I am entering a down payment request (F-47) in foreign currency. I am assigning a payment method in order to pay the request through the payment program F110. When the payment program pays the down payment request is doing it in local currency, I need the payment program to pay it in foreign currency, do you know how I can do that?
Else, can someone explain me the usage of field PYCUR "Currency for automatic payment"?
Best regards.
Edited by: BPX PARTNERS on Oct 28, 2009 1:14 PM

Thanks for the guide lines, now am I getting closer to solve the issue, now I need to know what the next messages stand for?
-FZ 779 Document BBBB with payment currency XXX is paid in YYY due to expired currency,
and
-FZ 770 Item AAAA in XXX is paid in YYY due to expiring currency
I want the documents to be paid in XXX currency.
Where do I define the expiring currency?
