Foreign exchange transaction

Hello,
This is not a SAP technical question but a business process issue. We have to maintain exchange rates for September on 1st Sept. Unfortunately, 1st Sept is a public holiday in UK. The new exchange rates would be available only on 1st September and there would be automatic transactions (like orders being received, invoices being received electronically and posted in FI) happening on 1st of September.
Could anyone advise what are the best practices for maintaining this? The only solution that I think is someone needs to work on a bank holiday to key in the exchange rates.
Any advise would be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi
A. In Tcode OB08 try maintaining the exchange rate of 1st September. All you have to do is keep the valid from date as 1st september. (if the exchange rate of 1st september is available on 31st of august or the rate of 1st September is same as that of Augst 31).
B. In case the exchange rate will be know only on 1st september. Someone has to keyin the details in OB08 on 1st september.

How to issue currency notes in payment program for Foreign Exchange

HI
I    have an issue in   Foreign exchange transaction using SPOT transaction.   Below is the process flow
1.   Record the spot transaction
2. Settle transaction
3. Tranfer the documents to FI
In   ( 3)   the   posting   create   posting in   the customer for whom the forex is to be issued.
My QUESTION :
I    have to   pay the customer   in   CURRENCY NOTES and NOT   by CHECK    in foreign currency.   The automatic payment program has payment methods viz check, wire transfer.     How do I   issue   CURRENCY NOTES    or TRAVELLERS CHECK .
Thanks for   a   immediate reply.

Hi,
I am not sure this is a right solution. But I have some inputs on your requirements:
1. For traveller cheques you may create a new payment method and do the required configuration for automatic payment program. Don't generate any payment medium while running APP.
2. For currency notes (cash payment) I am not sure how it works. But probably it is possible by creating an account (account ID) for a particular house bank and use that (house bank & account id) for making payment.
Per my knowledge we have never used payment method cash (currency notes) in APP. But logically it would work by create a new payment method and doing the required config for APP.
Please update if you found a better way to do this.
thanks & regards,
Kumar

GR/IR clearing - Foreign Exchange Loss

Hi Sap Gurus,
My Company code currency is u201CCADu201D and my Group Currency is u201CUSDu201D. I have maintained GR/IR clearing account as u201Conly balances in local currencyu201D
I have done GR in 2008 for 100 CAD. And I have reversed this GR in 2010.
When I am doing the automatic clearing of GR/IR: System is posting an entry of Revaluation loss (from KDF trans type) DR To GR/IR clearing a/c (for 0 CAD and in GL view it is 129 USD)
BSEG table has been updated only with zero but in FLAGLFLEXA I could see 129 USD updated in grup currency .
My question is u2013
1.) why the system is looking for KDF currency when I have maintained u201COnly balance in local currencyu201D for GR/IR clearing account u2013 is that because I have maintained this GR/IR clearing account in OBA1 i.e. for foreign exchange revaluation ?
2.) If it so, does the OBA1 setting overrides the u201COnly balance in currencyu201D in GL master ?
3.) As this is just a clearing transaction, Is it acceptable to book a FX loss on this transaction ? and that to it is just a reversal of an erroneous entry.

Hi Pavan,
You have maintained this account in OBA1 for KDF, that is why it is showing forex differences. The difference is in Group currency currency and not in your company code currency.
So, no problem.

Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference

How Purchase Price Variance Foreign Exchange difference is calculated for material consumed in product costing / material ledger

You need to go to net price at purchase order in local currency. With quantity you'll get the purchase order total price in local currency.
Get the standard price of material master record (which is in purchase order) on MM03 transaction on costing 2 view.
Purchase price variance is the difference between purchase price order and material standard price.
To get this difference in foreing currency, you´ll need to get document date of purchase order, get exchange rate at OB08 and find both prices in foreign currency; after that get same way the variance.
Hope that helps,

Foreign Exchange accounting in TRM

Dear Experts,
To give you brief intro, i am a finance person and user of SAP Treasury module. my knowledge of the module is of user level and not of functional or technical level.
i need your help on my below query.
for foreign exchange trades (60A), what should be the right accounting practice thru TRM (1) at time of of entering into deal (2) at time of maturity of transaction and also at time of (3) pre mature or part settlement of the transactions.
currently, i do not post any entry at time of creating 60A/102 deal.
at time of maturity, i does cash settlement in deal, put the cancellation rate, date of cancellation in date box to generate gain / loss and post the same (only cash settlement entry) thru TBB1
in case of part or early utilization or forward contract, i does the pre mature settlement from ftr_edit and copy paste 102 deal details in 105 and 103 deals including contract date and value date except for amount. thereafter, i settle both deals and cash settle 105 deal with cancellation rate and transaction date in date box to generate gain / loss. this gain / loss is posted thru TBB1. in this case, when i have taken early delivery, i have to add or subtract swap points in final rate to arrive at correct rate. also, i have to to cash settle 102 and all 103 deals when there's final amount settlement whether on due date or before it.
in my case, buy sale position of two currencies are shown in cashflow tab as "not rel. for posting" and is not posting even on maturity.
i know i have given bit lengthy details but i really wants to understand
1. is above practice of recording fx transaction is correct?
2. is there any better way to capture early deliveries?
3. in case of early delivery, is it right & necessary to replicate 102 deal details in 105 and 103?
4. what is role of TPM18 which i am not using at all in above scheme of fx set up?
your valuable reply will be of great help to me.
Thanking you all in advance
Kapil

Hello Kapil,
Your questions has covered most of FX process.
I'll try to answer few of your question.
Answer 1) The process is correct, Its based on what your company required consultant has customized the system in that fashion, As you said there is not posting even during maturity of deals, that because in customization setting is missing for posting. Incase its required please consult you consultant to make the changes in system for Flow type-(here relevant for posting is unchecked).
Answer 2 & 3, I'm not sure why consultant has suggested to use such a lengthy process to settle early deliver deal, There might be some reason for the same. Please check,
But the same process can also be addressed, throught FTR_edit and settle the single deal through cash settlement.
Also note, 103 is only used for netting which means you are trying to settle couple of deal together and that can be excluded if you have only single deal.
Answer 4) TPM18 is used to do the valuation after the deal has been closed.Realized gains and losses are determined according to single valuation of transactions principle. This is calculated by taking the difference between the forward rate based on the conclusion of the contract and the posted rate on value date.
Let me know in case you need more information.

Jaiin

Report for Unrealized/Realized Foreign Exchange Payments and Receipts

Is there a report in SAP that shows unrealized/realized foreign exchange cash receipts and payments. if yes, what is that report. Please provide transaction code.
If not, do we need to create ABAP query. How do we create that Query in this regard. What information are we required to give the Abap person or do we create an Query ourself. How do we create it. please explain with steps.
It is little urgent. Please reply soon.
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi,
I can try to explain this financial funda more claraly as below:-
Realized Exchnage rate Diffrence Gain/ Loss:-
         When the foreign currency transaction has actually completed and you have gained/lossed due to that transaction is called as realized gain/loss.
         For example you have purchased the goods on 01 Jan, 2008 for 5000 INR (100 USD) on credit. Now on 16th Jan, 2008 you paid the invoice by paying 100 USD and clear it off. But on 16th Jan, the exchange rate between INR: USD came down to 45. So you gained by amount 500 INR (100 USD * (50-45)). This is the realized gain when you clear of the invoice againest the payment.
UnRealized Exchnage rate Diffrence Gain/ Loss:-
         Here the foreign exchange rate diffrence appear but not realized, because the transaction is not cleared up.
         Taking the scenario above, if you do not pay on 16th jan and invoice remains open. You run the F.05 at month end to revaluate the open items and on 31st Jan, the exchange rate came down at 48 INR per USD. Then F.05 will show the unrealized gain of 200 INR (100 USD * (50-48)).
I hope that this clarifies the things. if yes, please assign some points.

Gaurav

Valuation of foreign exchange forward with NPV split for interest vs FX impact?

Hello,
I have the following business requirement regarding the accounting treatment of the valuation of a foreign exchange forward deal :
1. during the lifetime of the deal
step1. valuation
          the deal should valued at its NPV using the swap points curve (table AT15) => that gives the "VALUE"
     BUT
step 2. the posting of the deal's value should be SPLIT into TWO components
               a) component 1 = linearly amortized swap points since deal date +2   until valuation date     => to be classified to interest result
               b) component 2 = VALUE - component 1                                                                                => to be classified to unrealized fx result
Comment.
So, in fact it is some hybrid combination of the two SAP standard valuation methods
               a) spot/spot + swap accrual + swap valuation (but NO NPV calculation)
               b) NPV calculation (without any split in components)
2. at maturity
     realized fx result :     calculation based on deal spot rate versus spot rate at maturity
     interest result :          calculation based on deal spot rate vs deal forward rate
Don't see how this "mixted behavior" can be achieved by customizing the valuation process.
Please help.
Best regards,
Carl

Hi Carl,
In order to use the 2step valuation during the lifetime of forex contracts, you need to combine 2 valuation steps in your Position Management Procedure:
1. step 6 Rate valuation for forward exchange transactions: spot-spot
2. step 4 Security valuation
Additonally, if the NPV should be calculated based on swap points from AT15, you need to apply BAdI JBA_SFGDT that is able to adjust TPM60 or/and reports in MRA if needed. See SAP note 0000940562 for details (and also 1941874 for extrapolation issues).
As far as i know, at maturity you can only have 1flow of gain/loss by using standard SAP Solution.

Piotr

Accounting of foreign exchange gain /loss on imported material at invoice

Dear Experts,
This is with reference to the accounting of foreign exchange gain /loss on imported material at the time of invoice posting.
Presently all the capital expenditure related procurements are done against the WBSE as account assignment. The material is
procured against the project consumption account with WBS as the account assignment. Since the GR is done on day 1
at a particular exchange rate and the material is directly accounted for against the project consumption account,
there is no stock available.
The invoice is received subsequently and the same is accounted for on say Day 4 at another exchange rate, resulting in exchange gain/loss on account of difference in exchange rate between GR and IR. The same is accounted against a cost element with the additional account assignment as WBS derived from the purchase order.
However, the business requirement is to account for the foreign exchange gain/loss against the Cost center, since the
same cannot be capitalized as per the accounting standard.
In spite of maintaining the default cost center derivation against the foreign exchange gain/loss cost element in OKB9,
the invoice document line item is taking the account assignment from purchase order and not from OKB9.
We have referred the SAP note 105024 and implemented the same.
However, as per the note the following is possible "Use a substitution (Transaction OKC9) to transfer a cost center or a
statistical order as auxiliary account assignment to the document or to replace CO account assignment."
But when we are trying to check the same, the system is updating the required CO object i.e. cost center as auxiliary
account assignment and not as a replace CO account assignment.
We are looking at the option of replacing the WBSE with the cost center in the line item for CO account assignment.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks and Regards,
Mohd. Abdul Moghani

Can anyone inform me what is the probable cause of this incorrect Forex AP-Current calculation? What is the calculation basis that SAP system use to calculate this automatic Forex AP-Current?
