Foreign currency posted to Foreign currency G/L account

Hi all,
I want to ask something.
Say I got a G/L account with the account currency USD. Say this G/L account is 10000 - Swiss Bank (USD)
Say the exchange rate goes like this,
         USD       SGD
Jan     1             1.1
Feb    1             1.3
Mar    1             1.4
So the G/L account balance is zero as of Jan.
Say in Jan I use fb50 to post 1000 USD to this bank.
So there is a +1000 USD and +1100 SGD to the bank.
And in Feb I do not post anything, so comes Mar, the balance in the bank is still 1000 USD and 1400 SGD.
Say in Mar, I use fb50 to take out 1000 USD. So says it will takes the exchange 1.1, and there will be a -1000 USD and -1400 SGD from the bank.
So the balance will be 0 USD and -300 SGD? Is that correct?

Hi,
Since this is realized exchange loss, it needs to be transfered to exchange gain/loss account. If you have maintained this account as open items, then you can do this by clearing the open items. If not, you have to pass a manual entry.
Let me know the t-code you used for the second option. It'll help me to understand the scenario well.

Inoka.

  • Currency for GL account  related to foreign bank

    Hi
    I have a GL account which is "Bank account for foreign branch". Our company code currency is USD. The Bank account is in Euro.Can the currency for Bank account GL be set up in USD (the co code currency) ? I think it should be.But there is a similar account ( bank in germany ) has set with GL as Euro. I am not sure which is best practices , setting up bank account in Co Code currency or docuemnt currency ? Kindly guide me, it is very urgent.
    Thanks in advance
    Satya

    Hi
    GL accounts corresponding to Bank Accounts are generally maintained in the respective currency. In this case it is advisable to maintain it in EUR and not USD.
    This helps as below:
    1. GL balances are always visible in EUR and can be verified against bank statements.
    2. Period end FC gain/loss can be valuated and posted.
    SAP documentation also suggests that Bank accounts are maintained in respective currencies.
    Thanks

  • Clearing Difference in Foreign Credits House Bank Account

    Dear All,
                 We are facing a problem while clearing a Foreign Credits House Bank Account. While clearing an account through F-03 the system is prompting an entry to be posted in Exchange Difference Gain/Loss Account. Now such an entry was never prompted. It is also observed that there is a difference in the Valuated amounts and local currency amounts of the open items. Now we never post exchange valuation entries for Bank account (Entries always posted for Vendor & Customer Reconciliation Accounts). What could be the reason for the difference? Is this got anything to do with F.05 Foreign Currency Valuation. We do not post entries through F.05. We just run the report for the Vendors.
    Please suggest a way out.
    Regards,
    Sonali.

    Please check the clearing details of your transaction. The system must be creating gain/loss in local currency. consider the following example..
    AT the time of transaction Recording (Rate was 80)
                   US $(Foreign Currency)     Pak Rs (Local Currency)
    Bank In Account   Debit                           100          8,000
         Receivable credit                 100               8,000
    At time of reconciliation (clearing with ff67) system created  following  entries using rate 78 at the time of clearing which is wrong. should should clear the bank on the statement date (value datea of transaction) and not clearing date.
    Bank account Debit               100                    7,800
         Bank in Account Credit               100                    8,000
    Exchange Gain Loss debit               0                     200
    The gain/loss account is debited by 200 in local currency but no impact in foreign currency...
    i hope i made it clear...

    Hi Khushwant
    Check the related G/L accounts are set to multi currency. In this case Trading Stock and Allocation Account. If you are using Freight charges (Additional Expenses) then check their G/L accounts too.

  • Balance with currency at the account entry moment

    I am trying to do a balance report similar to f.01 transaction report but in which you may choose the currency like filter and the currency valuations in the summarizations will be the valuation of the currency at the account entry moment.
    Do you know any balance transaction (or abap source code) that I may use, that apply that way to made the summarizations (in reference to currency use)?

    I have found the following temporary workaround until MS fix the underlying issue.
    Remove (or comment out) the following line from ApplicationInsights.config:
    <Add Type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.PerfCollector.PerformanceCollectorModule, Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.PerfCollector"/>
    Note that this is a termporary workaround, but I'm sure they'll be fixing it soon.

  • When does incompleteness of foreign trade matters for accounting document?

    Hi,
    When creating billing from an SO without delivery, the accounting document is created even though foreign trade data is incomplete.
    While when creating billing from a delivery, the accounting document is not created since foreign trade data is incomplete.
    My question is, When does incompleteness of foreign trade matters for accounting document?
    Please advice.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I donu2019t have an exact answer but I take a guess that, when creating billing from a delivery, the accounting document is not created since foreign trade data is incomplete -  it might be because the necessary information for delivery is not maintained, for instance mode of transport for Foreign Trade, Domestic mode of transport (you can see them in billing doc u2013 header u2013 foreign trade/customs) most of the data maintained in material master.
    Whereas for order related billing, these data might not be necessary as it has no delivery.
    Note: This is just a guess.
    Also take a look at the below link. It might be useful for you.
    Re: foreign data incomplete appearing after deactivating
    Good luck

  • EBS - Posting Area 2 no longer determines Account type & GL account

    Hello all,
    I'm looking for some help/advise on Electronic bank statement processing.  I suspect this has been caused by upgrade to EHP6, but I have not found any notes to help me.
    Relating to inter-company payments.
    We have an issue where posting area 2 is no longer determining the Account symbol & account type based on a search string, which results in error message F5 263 - difference too large for clearing.   
    This then means the team have to manually post process these items, where as before this was automatic, obviously they are not happy.
    The search string is still working as I can see the correct internal transaction has been determined when reviewing the item in FEBA that should have posted automatically.
    Prior to the payment coming through on the bank statement the finance team post a DZ customer clearing document with credit entry posted to a sub GL bank account, this document quotes the payment document number in the XBLNR reference field.
    Through debug I have found that POST_INTERFACE_CLEARING is not receiving the GL account or the Account type when it gets to the FB05 screen to search for the related item to clear in the sub GL.
    Anybody else encountered this & found a way to fix it?
    Thank you
    Steve

    Hi Raghav,
    Thanks for the advice, I had found this note during my search but I'm not convinced it is the answer. 
    Our search string rule is set to use All interpretation algorithms & I've run the bank statement with the ranges for BELNR & XBLNR specified.  I don't want to have a GL tolerance & posting to an alternative account as that changes the business process & would require a new GL account for this purpose.
    I just want it to behave like it did before EHP6.

    Hi Fi Gurus,
    Good Day.
    I would like to ask if ever where qwe can post adjustments directly to AP/AR gl accounts?
    After year end, we need to have adjusments to our AP/AR account.
    I know that the transactions from AR/AP account are directly link to all the postings from other module.
    However, i need to check if there are transactions that allowed as to direcly post to GL account of AP and AR?
    What tcode it is?
    Hoping for your positive response.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi ,
    You  may create a AR/AP  GL account where you must post the adjustment entry . This GL account should be allowed to post directly  The clubbing to the accounts should be with the AR/AP reconcilliation a/c . So balance sheet should reflect the AR/AP reconcilliation a/c + AR/AP adjustment account ..
    Entry at the time of adjustment will be :-
    Provision for Bad Debt -
    Dr  ( P&L)
    A/R   adjustment A/c -
    Cr  ( B/S)..
    When you write off bad debts .. entry will be ..
    A/C adjustment A/c -
    Dr
    A/R individual Customer A/c -
    Cr
    Please make sure that these adjustment entry must be backed by valid documentation as auditors always query on it..

  • Invoice to be Blocked always if it is posted to a Separate G/L Account

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where the system has to block all the Invoices if it posted to a separate G/L Account during MIRO.
    While posting an Invoice with reference to a P.O, sometimes Unplanned Delivery Costs are posted to a separate G/L account. In such cases all such Invoices needs to be Blocked. Is there any Standard settings/ Tolerance Keys which will be useful in such cases?
    Please check and let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sonu

    Hi,
    As far as I know their is as such no standard setting available for check on GL account. For this I think you have to include your own modifications in the exit.

  • Post directly depreciation area to GL accounts

    Good morning
    I am trying to post directly depreciation area to GL accounts and for this, I set the fiscal depreciation area to 4.
    But, the G/L accounts are empty (any entries, any message).
    We use ECC6 version (NewLedger is deactivate) .
    Many thanks for your help.
    Alexandre

    You won't be able to correct the matter in a straighforward fashion. Obviously, you will not be able to repeat the depreciation posting run for Dec.
    What you can do is:
    1. First in customizing change the GL accounts for depreciation to the correct one.
    2. Then pass a JE from the incorrect to the correct accounts.
    You can also see SAP note 82499 for more information on this topic.
