Foreign currency, VAT amount,Variables, PLD

Hi guys,
We have SBO2007 version 46.
The system currency is GBP, and we have some purchase orders in EUR, where I am trying to show VAT amount in the right currency in the printouts.
There are two layouts on the system
1) Purchase Order (System) -- There isn't a VAT field above document total.
2) Purchase Order (DIN) (System) -- The VAT amount fields use system Variable 229 and 230, which I cannot copy/use in my own layout.
Error message: printing error: invalid variable number 229 etc.
I also found that variable 116 is for VAT in system currency-GBP and variable 112 is for VAT in BP currency-EUR.
Please anyone can help on the solution that the right VAT amount is displayed in right currency in one PLD.
Thank you very much
Regards,
Yang

Thank you very much, Gorden and Premraj.
I will try the ideas.
In the meantime, I wonder that there must be a common practice to have VAT in foreign currency (and document total) shown on marketing documents.
How do you guys do it? It would be a pain to revise all types of documents. Is there some setting to change so that the system can deal with it automatically, or a variable becomes available?
NB I have set "all currencies" in the BP master.
Thank you
Yang

Small Differences Rounding Off in case of Payments in Foreign Currency

Hi all
I have a scenario wherein I want to round off the Foreign Exchange amount to the nearest Rupee. I.e when I am making a payment in Foreign currency, the amount in local currency appears upto 2 decimal places. However, I want the same to be rounded off to the nearest rupee.
E.g I am making a payment of USD 111 @42.1277 which comes to 4676.17 in the local currency INR. Now I want the system to round off the amount to 4676 at the time of the payment transaction itself. Is this possible through the RDF key in Forex Automatic Postings? If yes, then I already have an account assigned there but the system does not round off the amount.
Help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers
Hrishi

i'm not aware of that functionality.
But you can always add some logic into your fast formulas, so that the data is alreay rounded for cash payments, before you launch Prepayments.

Forcing Local Currency amounts when posting Foreign Currency documents

When posting entries in a foreign currency (FC), it is possible and often used to force through a local currency (LC) amount that differs from what SAP would have posted using the current For Ex rate. This is used in cases where a payment is made in FC a couple months later and someone would like to see the LC of the originally posted invoice match the LC of the payment. Although SAP allows you to override the For Ex rate in such a manner, what are the effects of these types of postings? Does the difference ever get recognized, and, if so, where?
Thanks in advance for any explanations.

Hi,
Suppose at the time of invoice the exchange rate was 40 and the amount shoule be as below:-
Document currency = 100
Local Currency = 4000
But you have entered the invoice at exchange rate of 45 which was applicable at the payment date
Document currency = 100
Local Currency = 4500
And the payment document line item is posted with the
Document currency = 100
Local Currency = 4500
In this case, system will not do any foreign exchange rate difference provided there is no month end revaluation happening between the invoice posting date and paymentt posting date.

IExpenses: Foreign currency amounts

I am using iExpenses and the base currency is set to USD. An expense report is to be paid in YEN. When the approval process is submitted the expense report is sent to the next employee as the system advises the approver does not have sufficient spending authority. However, the signing limit for the approver is set at 1 million USD and the transaction is only 10,000 yen, well within the limit. It appears that iExpenses does not recognise the foreign amount correctly. I have set-up rates in the rates table for the relevant days. Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue?

Hi, i did set up the Russian Rouble as RUR as provided by my client, I have changed this to RUB, Thankyou...
an example line of the journal data i have imported is :-
RecordKey--     LineNum---     AccountCode     Credit     Debit--
     LineMemo
1--     0     112010513--
SAGE Acct Code - 10
The GL code 112010 is set as multi currency
I have set the bank accounts GL codes to the relevant currencies.
When i import the journal i get these errors from the DTW -
Exchange Rate not Updated - I update the currencies
Transaction includes more than one currency - I go to document settings and remove the Block Multiple Currency Transactions.
The journal posts now with RUB Foreign Currency Postings...
I have now created the lines.csv spreadsheet again from scratch, ticked the block multi currency and the journal fails.
If i untick the block multi currency the journal again posts with RUB amounts...

In Journal can i specify the Foreign currency and local currency amount?

In Journal Entry can i specify the Foreign currency amount and local currency amount?
I tried the following code it is working fine using DIAPI.
Here the Local currency and the System currency is SGD. And the Journal is for USD.
oJnl.Lines.FCDebit = 120.10
oJnl.Lines.FCCredit = 0
oJnl.Lines.FCCurrency = "USD"
oJnl.Lines.Debit = 120.10
oJnl.Lines.Credit = 0
oJnl.Lines.Add()
oJnl.Lines.FCDebit = 0
oJnl.Lines.FCCredit = 120.10
oJnl.Lines.FCCurrency = "USD"
oJnl.Lines.Debit = 0
oJnl.Lines.Credit = 120.10
oJnl.Add()
But, the above way of doing is not working if i pass this Journal through B1.
B1 is not allowing to change the local currency amount, Local currency amount is automatically calculated based on the FC amount and the Exchange rate.
So Can i use the DIAPI to do this? is this right to do?

Solved.
In Journal Entry window, please kindly go to Form Settings/Document/
Table tab page/ Convert Amounts According to Rate upon Exit:
Clear the checkboxes 'From LC Field' & 'From FC Field', then the Local
currency amount will not be automatically calculated based on the FC
amount and the Exchange rate.

VAT amount to be posted in GBP currency during MIRO UK legal requirement

hello,
Our UK Company code has EUR as Currency key. This means that for this company code, the local currency is EUR. If it receives and pays invoices in EUR it has also to post the VAT amount in GBP shown by the vendor on his invoice according to UK VAT regulation. We need to be able to set the rate per invoice and not using the automatic one in the table for a fixed rate per month.
Indeed, the VAT guide (VAT700) makes it clear that the suppliers must show the sterling equivalents of the Net and VAT amounts on the VAT invoice. This means that the VAT amount posted will not depend on the exchange rate set up in the system.
In few words, we need the possibility for a EUR company code which receives an invoice in EUR to be able to post the VAT in GBP according to UK legal requirements.
The remaining problem now is to have the exchange rate field open for manual change!
i did go through SAP notes 776105 and 739958
can anyone help on this
regards
venkatprasad

Hi,
I think you can resolve this by working out the exchange rate used i.e. the GBP VAT amount vs the EUR amount and store that in a document field somewhere i.e. REF KEY3 or similar. Then you would need to grab the exchange rate from the document line and use that in the VAT report (Thinking user exit). The report would then reflect the GBP VAT amount as per invoice. This is not a clean solution but as you probably know the issue is due to the EUR currency being linked to a UK company code. I think in a GBP company code, the EUR invoice would open up a field for the tax exchange rate and the issue would be solved.
Anyway, there is probably a better way of doing the above...I just have not found one yet :-).
Thanks

Foreign Currency rounding off while conversion

Hi All,
I am experiencing a scenario while foreign currency conversion.
I have searched for a solultion but i am unlucky to find one regarding this problem.
The scenario:
Example:
Foreign Curr | Value | Rate | SAP converted Local Curr(Yen) | Act Con Value(Y)
Euro | 1210Eur| 127.99Y| 154868Y | 154867(-veRound Off)
Is there any setting where you can round off the converted amount to its negative whole amount?
I have searched all the setting in Foreign Currency transactions(OB52,OB59) but couldnt find.
Hope i can get a solution.
Regards
Andrew

Hi
Reason and Prerequisites
u2022Your tax country is Slovakia
u2022You billed an order with several items in foreign currency,
u2022where the exchange rate factor between foreign currency and local
u2022currency is very large or very small.
u2022The accounting document created during the billing has a tax line item that contains incorrect amounts in local currency
Solution
The solution is using the same solution as note 832477 and 32477 with the difference that the country is Slovakia. For other countries you should put the variable L_LAND1 to the string that represent the country.
Limitations:
The solution will NOT lead to a recalculation of taxes in local
currency. However, it will serve to minimise any rounding differences
which may arise from converting the individual tax lines which are
transferred from SD to FI. In most practical cases, this should fulfill
the legal requirements, even though rounding differences may occur for
individual documents in special cases.

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?

Display Open Items in Foreign Currency (LC3) during Clearing

Hi all.
Please advice, how can we display LC3 in open item clearing transactions (like F-03)?
Our problem is that we need to clear accounts which have amounts only in LC3 (other amounts = 0) and users can't select proper document to clear.

Hi Philip,
During the clearing is not posible to display open items in foreign currency LC3.
As workaround you can do the following:
You can display with FBL*N the open items to be cleared by choosing in the layout "Amt in loc.curr. 3", and then when using the clearing transaction (F-53 for example) through additional selections insert the document numbers noted before from the FBL*N.
Hope this workaround helps.

Problem in F.05 in foreign currency valuation

Hi all
we are facing some problem in the F.05..that is we are getting some amount difference in one company code 6000
but we do not have any issues with the forex revaluation. We are following the same process for both the company codes i. e 4000 and 6000 for forex revaluation ( T Code: F.05).
In both the postings Balance sheet preparation valuation was selected. Only when we are knocking off the customer open line item against the payment, Forex revaluation entry is not reversed incase of company Code:6000. For company code:4000 documents are properly posted.
Our question is why is the system is not reversing forex revaluation documents for company codes:6000?
Can any body please help me out for this issue and let me know if you want more explian
Thanks in advance
Regards
vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
Just check whether in Company Code 6000 you have activated Delta Logic. If it is activated, then whether for the Company Code 6000, you have posted the document as Year end Closing Valuation. If it is year end valuation, then the System will not reverse the Foreign Currency Revaluation documents.

Amit

Hi
Header exchange rate picked up at time of PO creation with reference to document date in header.
If you fix exchange rate then it will be same for all items in purchase order.
In your case if exchange rate is different then check whether you have done goods receipt in two lots (say 8 items first and then 2 items) with different posting dates. Check accounting documents generated and in that document check translation dates for checking exchange rate in OB08 transaction.
And in invoice what is the currency you are using - if you do not use any special currency (foreign) then PO currency will be picked up. If exchange rate fixed indicator is not there in PO - depending upon system baseline date (posting date) exchange rate will be coming.
Thanks

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

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

Posting in local currency on foreign currency account/correctionOfValuation

Hi everybody!
I have a problem, and I hope someone will help me.
Is there any way to make posting in local currency on account with foreign currency as the account currency?
The reason why I'm asking this, is that I have to make corrections to currency valuation.
This is the situation: they made foreign currency valuation for last period of previous fiscal year. Instead without reversing, they made it with reversing, on the first day of 1. period in the new fiscal year. After this, they made reversing (fb08) of reversing document created by valuation program. Of course, after all, they have wrong valuation for every next period.
I have to make corrections in 3. period (1. and 2. are closed).
This is my idea: I want to make valuation for date 31.12.2006. with postings in 3. period, without reversing, and than, to make posting of valuated amount, but with opposite sign mark (if the valuation was 1000EUR debit, I'll make 1000EUR credit). I want to have effect of reversing, without running fb08.
Balance for the 3. period will be 0, but every next valuation will be ok (it will valuate difference for 31.12.2006., not difference for document posting date).
If anybody have idea how to make posting on foreign currency account, or the other way to make correction of valuation, I'll be grateful.
Best regards

Create one FI documents with multiple line items as per the following example. In this case you need to enter amount in both local currency and in document currency fields-
If you want to post credit of USD 5.00
Line 1: Local currency Dr. USD 5; Doc currency =x
Line 2: Local currency Cr. USD 10; Doc currency =x
Net impact in local currency is Cr USD 5 and doc currency is nil.
