Foreign Currency valuation at Year End

We have a number of Imprest cash accounts in Foreign Currency. The currency balances have to be revaluated at the Exchange rate prevalent on March 31.
Can someone please let me know the configuration process & related t-codes.
Correct answers will be rewarded points.

Hi,
currency revaluation can be managed with TA F.05 (TAB GL-Balances/Valute GL-Balances and enter the account(s)).
Just check whether it's usefull for you, test with valuation method KTO and a single account.
You can define your own valuation method for currency revaluation (IMG Financials - General ledger accounting - Closing - Valuate - Foreign currency revaluation.
Currency revaluation works in my experience excelllent...
Best regards

F.05 valuates not only open items....... Bank accounts or cash accountsnormally have no open items.

Foreign Currency Translation at Year End - How SAP Works for P&L items?

Hi All,
I wanted to know "How SAP works on Foreign Currency Translation at year end" from Local Currency to Group Currency for P&L Items.
I know how SAP works for Balance sheet items but am really confused with when the translation was done for P&L Items.
Configuration:
We are on ECC 6.0 . Local Currency is CAD and we have 2nd Local Currency as "USD - Group Curr".
We have set up Valuation Method - 4
We have set up Valuation Area - 40
For Account Determination for Currency Translation, GL accounts (Loss, Gain and B/S Adj) were setup for the combination of Chart of Accounts, Val Area and Fin Stmt Ver.
Sales Account Balance
CAD (LC)        USD (2nd LC)
1000                   920
Using tcode "FAGL_FC_TRANS", we translated our P&L items.
Local Currency is CAD and Group Currency is USD.
CAD 1000 and USD 920 are cumulative balances over a period of time.
Since at the end of year CAD became stronger, exchange rate is 1.11 as an example
Sales Account Balance
CAD (LC)        USD (2nd LC)        Translated Value in USD
1000                   920                        900
System passed the following entry in USD:
Debit Balance Sheet Adj A/c 20
Credit Translation Gain / Loss A/c 20
Here are the questions:
1. How does over all translation work? - Should we get any Gain / Loss and have an effect on P&L when all accounts (P&L, B/S) are translated?
2. How can there be a gain entry when USD value has really fallen from 920 to 900 in the current case.
Thanks for your time.
Vijay

Hi,
I had this issue too. The entry was just opposite to what it should be. I just flipped the accounts in table FAGL_T030TR.
Example: 410000 is sales account which normally should have a credit balance. Here are some entries that were posted to sales in 03/2009 and I am running FAGL_FC_TRANS at the end of the month.
March 1, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD 1000- USD 900-
March 2, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD 500- USD 480-
During FC translation transaction, system takes the balance in the account for the period (if you execute it with 'Val. period balance only' checkbox checked) and not the cumulative balance. SAP recommends translating period balance only (and not cumulative balance) for P&L accounts. It sees a balance in LC (this again depends on the config. you have in OB22 - whether the indicator is 1 (TC as source currency) or 2 (LC as source currency for translation)) which is 1500, converts that at month end rate. After conversion, lets say the balance is 1400-.
In this case, we expect a credit entry on sales account
March 31, 2009 Cr. Sales CAD 0 USD 20-
But system was just posting the opposite. I then flipped the accounts in FC translation configuration. I know it is misleading. In that configuration, system says balance sheet adjustment account, but what you should actually give there is your gain/loss account. Our gain/loss a/c. falls in the same GL account range as the main account. For example, for 410000, it is 410999 and for 510000, it is 510999. We report accounts 410000 to 410999 in the same node in the FSV.
Pl. feel free to ask further questions about this. Pl. test in your system and correct me if my above reply is wrong.
Cheers!

Valuate Foreign Currency in the Period End

Hi Friends,
Which method is used to Valuate Foreign Currency in the Period End? (We used Average Rate method at the time of transaction posting) I have a doubt whether we have to use same average rate method at the period end or not.
Thanks
Chandra

My Dear Friend,
OB08 is a master data screen..rates are entered there by the user against the particular echange rate type for different currencies..So whatever you enter there, you will see that..highere or lower depends on what rates are given by the bank.. if it is higher you will maintain and see higher and if it is lower you will maintain and see lower..
Secondly, if you want to use the concept of revaluation at the bank buying rate and the bank selling rate, then you will first have to define two exchange rate type for that and also maintain that in the config for valuate - Foreign Exchange.. and against these exchange rate types, you have to maintain the bank buying rate and bank selling rate in OB08.

Error when using automatic clearing (F.13)with foreign currency valuation.

Hello all
below is our problem, please suggest us a solution
We are experiencing a problem when running the automatic clearing in SAP. Somehow, the system seems to clear (with no reason) open items created with the revaluation of foreign currency.
Let's say that we run the valuation of open items in foreign currency for December 31, and we run the program to post the reverse entry as of January 1 of the next year. As a result of this valuation, the system calculates a loss of 10 euros. Therefore, it posts a document with a debit entry of 10 into the Loss account, and a credit of 10 in to account where the valuation was carried out. This document has a posting date of December 31. The batch program also creates the reversing entry, this time a credit entry into the Loss account, and a debit into the original account.
If now, we try to run the automatic clearing (F,13) on December 31 for those accounts, the system will create (automatically) a document on December 31, similar to the reversing entry that the valuation created, clearing at the same time, the first document that the valuation originally created.
The final result then is that the valuation makes a posting, and we end up having two reversing entries. Does it make sense?
In our scenario in the system P70, for MX10, we have a foreign currency valuation run on December 31st, which posted the document numbers:
1) 5100004579/2008, for a total of 0 euros, and 240,483.17 MXN. Credit to account 11081108 Finavigate cash receipt bank collect.CMG MXN.Debit to account 18601000 Losses f.foreign curr.valuation on financial trans
2) In the same batch, the system also books a reversing entry (doc 5100000042/2009) with posting date 01.01.2009 with exactly the same opposite entries as in the previous document.
3) After this, we run the automatic clearing with posting date 31.12.2008, and now, the system creates automatically the document 5000003236/2008, which clear the original document, 5100004579.
The final result, as you can see, it's out of balance, there is an additional document that we need to reverse.
Thanks in advance
sujatha

To my knowledge you get do two things:
1. In F.13 transaction don't include both the GL accounts where the Dr. and Cr. posting from the valuation run have taken place. With this the system won't find the matching entry.
2. If you want to use all the GL accounts in F.13, then check the clearing procedure configuration and make suitable changes.
With the info provided, this is the only thing I can suggest.

Foreign currency valuation process.

Hi Gurus,
I need some help on foreign currency valuation. Can any one explain the in detail the process of month end open item valuation. I need to valuate an open item account which is in JPY and the company code currency is HKD and group currency is USD. I have to perform both remeasurement(transaction currency to functional) and translation( functional to Group). I need step by step guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Prashanth.

hi,
for valuating foregin currency valuaqtion, you need to prepare
1. automatic postings for foregin currecny valauation(FCV) by to code. oba1- double click on exchange rate key and assign the relevant chart of accounts and G/L accounts.
2. after that you have to create valuation methods in OB59
assume you have posted invoices with foregin currency,
enter the present currency rates in exchange rates, then run the FCV in f.05, after executing select the posting button, it will process the posting.
thing is you should decide whether it is year end or monthend.
let me know further clarifications,
regards,

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.

I have an invoice which relates to an Sales order,it was posted in several months again(cross monthly closing). Now I want to reverse this invoice,but the system can't cancel the relevant FI document due to we have done the foreign currency evaluation at last month end.

How can I accomplish this job?
Any input is appreciated.

Hi Mike,
Reset the Foreign currency valuation run? I am not sure about your suggestion. Does it means that I just key in the "reversal posting date" and "reverse post.peried" and don't key in "Document date","Posting date" and "Posting period",it is right? And then how to check the document being reset or not? (Just check if there have the document or not,when test run.)
Or I need to select a reset valuation method?
Thanks,
Don

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?

Intercompany payment posting after Foreign currency valuation - F.05

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue with intercompany payment posting after foreign currency valuation run.
Build Up:
Let me give you a brief description first. Company u2018Au2019 has open items from Company u2018Bu2019. Basically Company u2018Au2019 charges management fees from Company u2018Bu2019. Both companies have a local currency of u2018EURu2019 and a group currency of u2018USDu2019. The open items posted in company u2018Au2019 have been accumulating for two years now. In January of this year finance decided to run the foreign currency valuation (F.05). The method they used was the reversal method. So at the beginning of the next month the entries from the valuation were reversed. They repeated this in February as well. Note this is the first time the foreign currency valuation was performed in SAP, before it was done manually. After February they never ran the foreign currency valuation run.
Issue:
Now what is happening is, when open items that have been accumulating for over two years and are before the foreign currency valuation run are cleared (payment is made) there is a exchange rate loss/gain. When the open item is cleared there is posting to the G/L account for Balance sheet adjustment and also an exchange rate loss/gain G/L account.
Posting:
Debit u2013 Cash
Credit u2013 Customer (intercompany)
Credit u2013 Balance sheet adjustment account (unrealized loss)
Debit u2013 Profit and loss account (realized loss)
The balance sheet adjustment account that is posted to is from OBA1 u2013 KDF u2013 balance sheet adjustment account in the foreign currency valuation accounts. Currency translation account determination is empty in OBA1.
I understand the system while payment posting is clearing/offset the unrealized loss/gain and posting the realized loss/gain. But how is this possible, when the foreign currency valuation run was done the entries were reversed so there was no unrealized loss/gain posted.
Also another caveat: Isnu2019t foreign currency valuation for open items that are posted in foreign currency and need to be revaluated to local currency. Well that is what is puzzling the open items posted in company u2018Au2019 are posted in local currency u2018EURu2019 so the foreign currency valuation should not affect these open items, correct? And if this is true then when the open items is cleared the unrealized loss/gain should never be cleared since there is none posted the exchange rate difference should only be posted to the realized account in the profit and loss correct? Please help? I can explain further if needed?
Thank you.
Comments and facts:
Companies fiscal year is June u2013 May.
Company u2018Au2019 and u2018Bu2019 have a local currency of u2018EURu2019, group currency is u2018USDu2019
The invoices in Company u2018Au2019 were posted in u2018EURu2019
The foreign currency valuation was only ever run in January and February of 2010.

HI ,
I believe becuase you did not enter any date that's why they did n't reverse automtcially . You need to enter to reverse.
now you can use f.80 mass reversal for all of them
Many Thanks

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

Foreign Currency valuation accounting entries

Dear friends
At the time of revaluating foreign currency at period end, an accounting entry gets generated, which is reversed on 1st day of the next period. As per my understanding, the entry is as below -
Forex Loss Dr
Vendor Adjustment A/c
My question is whether the Vendor adjustment G/L is a Recon a/c? Also, in what transaction code, this customization is done?
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi,
Please check all your settings correct or not?
Step1: Forex Rates should be maintained OB08
Step2: Define Valuation Methods
Step3: Define Valuation Areas
Step4: GL Account Creation for Forext Loss and Gains,
Step5: Assign GL Acconts
Step6: Foreign Currency Valuation T Code: FAGL_FC_VAL
Thanks

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!!!

Error while running foreign currency valuation program FAGL_FC_VAL

Hi
this is regarding foreign currency valuation in ECC6.0 with EHP4
i have done the revevent setting in spro and while execturing TC FAGL_FC_VAL agetting following error:-
Incorrect account determination: 1000 10 200010
Message no. FR257
in customization, i have assigned P&L and balance sheet account against above GL (OBA1 -> KDF).
any idea where i am wrong. Please reply.
regards
DD

Hello Devi,
This account managing with open item? Can you check G/L account master data?
If yes,
You should check your customizing OBA1 -> KDF. I think you filled currency and currency type on OBA1-KDF. If you don't have different P&L ve balance sheet adjustment account for each currency and currency type, you can pass initial for this field. ıf you use different balance sheet adj. account or P&L account for each item, you must assign write criteria.
For example your company code currency is USD and you have a customer reconcilation account which has EUR currency, you should assign EUR currency for this account on OBA1-KDF. Please check in FS00 for this account, exchange rate difference key must be empty if this account managing with open item.
