Forex Gain/loss posting from prior interest Accruals in capitaliization scenario !!

Gurus,
This is a decent question.
In SAP MM instruments, how do we post
Forex Gain/loss arisng from prior interest Accruals in capitaliization scenario !!
1. Is it REALIZED OR UNREALIZED gain/loss?
2. Should it even be considered Gain / Loss, in which case Accounting Entry will be like
DR/CR Interest Accrued
Cr/DR Interest Accrued Discount
Please advise.
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Can you explain what do you mean by prior interest acrruals in capitalization scenario.
If you have a MM product which you are capitalizing the interest , then for previous month the accrual interest posted which is already posted will remain.
I am not clear about the scenario. Care to explain it pls

FI Forex gain loss & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency & Chart of Accounts

Dear All,
I have queries on following :
1) what is difference b/w Forex gain loss account & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency account .
2) Under which Heads in Balance sheet they should come as per Indian Accounting Standards.
3) Are these accounts common for Vendor & customers or different.
4) they record FI data at Company code level or at sub-ledger level first (Vendor /Customer) .
4) Is it advised to use same Chart of Accounts to two companies in same country by using different GL's with different FSV?
Regards
MJ

Hi M J,
Please note the answers below:-
1. It is one and the same thing. When you say forex gain/loss account, it means a GL account and exchnage rate difference means, the difference in rates at which you purchased/sold and the rate at which you made paid/collected.
2. Ask Client where they want to show these GL's in Financial statement Version.
3. The configuration setting is in OB09 and SAP allows you to keep same or diff GL for both realised Exchnage rate gain/loss. It depends on how you want to see. technically it is possible.
4. The Valuation is done at company code level, but individual records are picked up at vendor/customer level. It means that the revaluation gain/loss adjustment is not given to each individual Vendor/Customer, rather it is posted to a GL - Balance Sheet adj.
5. Yes, you can use same chart of accounts and you do not need to create separate GL's at the company code level for two company codes. Same GL's can be used as the posting is made at Co. code level.

Kavita

TD gain loss posting in receiving location : Config

HI All
any one of you able to tell me where is the place I can perform a config to post the gain loss at the receving storage location for STO related TD shipment.
rgds

To be able to load a TD shipment you need a in-transit storage location per plant. This is customized in trans: O5AY. But it doesnu2019t have to be fixed. Please look at trans: O5A4 In this table, an intransit storage location can be maintained and allowed strategies. To be able to post gain/loss to the resaving storage location you have to load to that storage location in transaction O4G1 - Create/Change load.
If you customize transit location to be u201CAllow different intransit storage locationsu201D you can select any storage location in transaction O4G1 GOTO --> Transit loc/batch.

Realized gain/loss posting

Hi,
Which T-code to be used for posting realized gain/loss ? I read in earlier posts that TPM18 can be used, however, am unable to understand that t-code as it is under derived flows. Kindly help

Hi,
Treasury itself is managed at the subledger level only. So there is no specific need to integrate with customer and all.
For your point for posting derived business transaction you need to assign update type for derived business transaction for your position management procedure under general settings - accounting -- derived business transactions -- update types
After that it is similar to your other posting update types you need to specify the posting specification.
In TPM18, you need to give the Value date for realizing the gains on that date.

Ravi

Gain/loss posting in Group Curr when local cur and doc cur is the same

When posting payment via F-28 we are getting currency gain/lost in group currency. The transaction and local currency are CLP. We are selling and receiving payment in CLP. Our group currency is USD. We are wanting to not see a currency gain/lost in USD when receiving payment. We would like the system to use the CLP:USD exchange rate in place at the time of the sale when we post the payment. Does any one have any advice on how to have the system to not calculate a currency gain/lost in group currency when document currency and local currency are the same AS the currency used for the sales and cash payment?

Hi
I have an query. Normally we will use the group currency for reporting at the Company level. So the gain/ loss for USD should have impact at CCo level. And practically fromt eh business point of view, it seems to be correct to valuate your payments or receipts when you actually book them. Doesn't it?
Thanks

Account 6100011( Forex-gain/loss) requires an assignment to a CO object

Hello,
Can any one explain how to resolve this issue while posting of an invoice to customer in New GL.
I have assigned Cost center to the revenue cost element still i am getting the following error.
Account 6100011 requires an assignment to a CO object
Message no. KI248
Diagnosis
All given account assignment objects (order, project) are defined as statistical.
System Response
Statistical orders or projects are ignored when FI and CO are reconciled. You must enter a cost center, order, project, or cost object to which the costs are posted for CO postings.
Procedure
Enter a cost center, an order, a project, or a cost object that is not statistical. The posting row affected is 001 and the account is 6100011
Thanks in advance,
Warm Regards,
Aswin

Hi,
As already suggested, as your account is a Cost Element and every cost element should be charged to Cost Object, you need to enter cost center/network/wbs to charge particular cost element. For automatic postings, system doesn't prompt to enter cost center, therefore you need to manually derive cost object (cost center) to charge particular cost element. For such configuration, you need to enter Cost Center/WBS in transaction OKB9 which would be assigned to the combination of Company Code and Cost Element, entered in the configuration.

Will there be forex gain or loss when you move amt from one GL to another?

Hi,
Local currency Euro
GL account A account currency Euro (has got an open item for usd 100)
GL account B account currency Euro
In the above situation if i use the post with clearing t.code f-04 to transfer the 100 us dollars from one gl account A to another gl account B then the system is calculating forex gain/loss. however is this correct to calculate the forex gain or loss for this transaction? From an accounting point of view, conceptually since we are just merely moving the foreign currency amount from one account to another why shd there be a forex gain/loss is calculated?
Take note that dont reply on how to change the F-04 document posting so that no forex will be calculated, i myself know it, i can just change the exchange rate to be the same as the original document's exchange rate so that in the f-04 document no forex difference is calculated. This is not my question. My question is rather on the accounting principles, as to whether shd there be a forex gain or loss for the above situation.
Can someone comment on the accounting perspective of this?

Hi,
Yes you are right but you cannot say that there is no effect on the P&L because the system generates postings to the P&L and even if the new account is revalued at month end, the forex auto postings made by the system will still be included in the P&L thus overstate or understate the P&L. Therefore i believe i shd not allow the system to post the forex amts during the transfer postings. do u agree with me?
For example :-
System posts a gain of 20 Euro to forex account abc during the transfer posting.
The month end revaluation on the new account is posts a forex gain of 5 euro to forex account abc
Now the final month end standing for forex account abc will be 20 + 5 = 25 when in actual fact it shd have been only 5.

Mark Interest Accrual for MM Instruments as Posted at go-live

Folks I have a simple situation wherein I want to mark legacy Interest Accruals as Posted, the way TBB1_LC works.
If I run TPM44 with no immediate posting, it does the trick but then sets the status as To Be Fixed, I tried using TPM18 to see if later on such flows could get fixed by mistake, and SAP did not fix any flows which is what I want.
Question is whether TPM44 with no immediate posting should work same as TBB1_LC for my scenario ?
Much Appreciated.
Rahul

Hello Renatas,
Simple Scenario is:
For an "Intercompany Loan" Instrument with 4 months freq. Chronology given below:
Last Payment/ Capitalization Date = 5/31/2014 (Position/Principle Balance = 1mm)
Legacy/Excel based Interest Accrual on 6/30/2014 = 1k
Legacy/Excel based Interest Accrual on 7/31/2014 = 1k
SAP Go-live Date = 7/31/2014
On 7/31, Performed TBB1_LC with Position Principle as of 5/31/2014 (1mm) with Position Posting Date = 5/31/2014 (no posting in SAP)
On 7/31, Above 2 Accruals posted to new SAP GL Account on 7/31 (general journal, not via TR)
But to proceed further, how to statistically post Legacy/Excel based Interest Accrual on 6/30 & 7/31 like we did in TBB1_LC.
Please note postings to previous periods are not possible as they have been closed and have been posted manually accounting wise from excel.
SAP based Interest Accrual on 8/31/2014 = 1k (posted in SAP)
SAP based Interest Accrual on 9/30/2014 = 1k (posted in SAP)
On 9/31 Interest Capitalization Date = New Principle = 1mm + all total interest accruals which will be the correct cash flow indicated by SAP.
Please note that the loan instruments are denominated in different currencies than CoCd currencies hence there are forex gain/loss issues too.
Regards,
Rahul

Gain Loss realized

Hi Guys,
Anyone can explain to me this SAP behaviour :
Company code currency = IDR
Invoice currency = USD with rate A
Payment phase 1 -> I'm using currency USD with rate B. There's a different rate between invoice and payment phase 1, but there's no gain/loss occured.
Payment phase 2 -> I'm using currency USD with rate C. There's gain/loss amount appeared.
Question : Why SAP only calculate gain/loss for full payment ? logically, when I pay the 1st phase, the rate is already different.
Regards,
-M-

Hi,
As I understand from your mail.. your question is that when you make partial payment and there is a rate difference why is the Exchange Gain or loss not posted..If this is the question, please follow the following:-
While making Partial Payments also you can post forex gain/Loss but for that a little configuration is required. The IMG path is :-
Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)>Global parameters for Company code>Currencies>Indicate Currency Differences for partial payments.
Here against the document type, which you are using for making partial payments you have to tick that doc type and then the Forex gain/Loss gets posted even on partial payments.

TD Shipment: Gain loss vs material on board

In a TD Shipment, if the entire loaded quantity is not delivered, is there always a gain/loss posted on closing the shipment? Can we have the remaining(load - discharge) quantity on board (on the vehicle), so that it can be used for delivering under different shipment?
Is there some customizing/ BADI to maintain (activate) these features?

In Delivery confirmation, you can use the 'Left On Vehicle' feature to retain the left over quantity in the Transport Unit's compartment. This avoids the load minus discharge difference posting and this quantity remains in the intransit storage location, from IM point of view. In a subsequent shipment where the same Transport Unit is in use, the left over quantity can be counted on as part of the load (using 'Prior To Load' feature) for which no transfer posting happens b'cos the material is already on-board (provided the dynamically determined storage location is same). It is also possible to rebrand this left over material segment if it differs from the current material segment being dispatched in which case a transfer posting happens.

Loading Ex Gain/loss on material with CKMLCP

Hi Gurus,
I am facing one issue with material ledger and seeking you suggestion.
There are 2 accounts 514000 (for ex gain) and 514001( for ex loss). Whenever there is gain/loss posting to these accounts wrt import MIRO, such gain/loss would get loaded on material through CKMLCP - costing cockpit execution. And it would generate opposit posting to these accounts.
(note: other gain/loss posting also go to these 2 accounts)
Per requirement, to have separate account for posting only import MIRO exchange gain/loss , I defined a substitution.So whenever there ex gain/loss system posts it to account 520001.
I ran one import cycle(PO, MIGO and MIRO), As per exchange rate in MIRO, there is ex gain posting to account 520001 as expected.
But when I run CKMLCP, this gain is not getting loaded on material. In CKM3, ex gain amount is shown in Ex Rt diff. column. And same amount is displaying in Differences column.
Could you pl suggest why its not getting loaded on material.
Price control in material master is S(std price) and price determination is 3 (Single-/Multilevel)
Thank you in advance
Regards
Anand

How to post gain/loss on exchange rate from Money Market

Dear Sap Expert,
     I need your kindly help about posting gain/loss in Treasury with money market type.
     My scenario use the product type 55A - Interest rate instrument and transaciton type = 200 borrowing in Foreign currency transaction as the transaction as belows,
Date                   Flow Type     Name                       Amouunt      currency     Exchange rate         Amt.Local currency
19.10.2011         1105             Borrowing               10,000            USD               30.00                       300,000
30.10.2011         1120             Final repayment       10,000            USD               30.00                      300,000
    For the normally the system generate current exchange rate from the configuration .After that I try to change the Exchange rate manually in Flow type 1120 from 30.00 to be 31.00 then the Amt.in Local currency changed to be 310,000 and the flow type gain/loss from exchange rate does not generate ( In Loan Management I can do it)
    On 19.10.2011 I use t-code TBB1 to post the borrowing transaction (1105)
    On 30.10.2011 I use T-code TBB1 to post the Payment transaction but the gain/loss account does not happen.
    For my question Can the system post document for flow tpe 1120 (on 30.10.2011) with exchange rate realized gain/Loss automatically? or how should I do to make it correctly.
Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Hi,
your customizing for Derived Business Transactions requires DBT_B flows in your PMP in order to post realized gains/losses.

Gain/loss from discontinued operation

1.Once the consolidation Unit is full divested(100%), how the revenue after discontinued period will be accounted. Because the consolidation unit is fully disposed off to external group. If the earlier holding was having Minority Interest , do we have to provide the minority interest for income from discontinued operation.
2.Can the reclassification function can be used in this context.
3.How can we facilitate the report on income from discontinued operation. Can we maintain in the company/profit center the period in which divested so that we can know the generate the report for the income from discontinued operation with reference to the data of full divesture.

Here's my understanding of how the divestiture works.
Cons Group A
- Parent A
- Sub B
Parent A owns sub B starting in 2006. In 6/2007, Parent A divests Sub B.
In the GL, Parent A books a Gain/Loss from the sale of their company. In BCS, the system will calculate a gain/loss from divestiture as part of the total divestiture activity in the COI. If we have a gain of -10, BCS will book a loss as +10 @ PL30 in Cons Group A.
From an unconsolidated perspective, you are correctly showing the gain on the parents books. At a consolidated perspective, you are still showing the Jan - June income statement from the sub until the end of the year. BCS has offset the "unconsolidated gain" with a "consolidated loss" to prevent double counting the income.
At the end of the year, the parent's gain will roll forward into the prior year earnings. The "consolidated loss" would offset into retained earnings and go away. Now you only have the prior year gain sitting in the parents surplus on a go-forward basis.
Looking at the postings by BCS, I think it might help to have the divestiture gain & loss going to the same account in the COI config. An the Gain booked in the parent on an unconsolidated GL basis needs to go to this account as well for everything to offset cleanly.
That's what I see the system posting...let me know if I'm missing something...can't hurt to have more documentation here!

Compute Unrealized Gain/Loss and Provisions for Valuated Forex Contract

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me how unrealized gain/loss or provisions were computed for forex contract?
I created a spot/forward transaction with the following details:
Product Type: 60A
Transaction Type: 102
Buy Currency: USD
Sell Currency: NZD
Local Currency: SGD
Forward Rate: 0.6864
Spot Rate: 0.7045
Swap Rate: 0.199-
I used midyear valuation w/ reset as a valuation category when I execute valuation in TPM1.
Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Canto

Hi Murlidhar,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I understand that a gain/loss can be realized based on exchange rate differences between when invoice entered/posted and when paid. That's only part of the gain/loss in minds of the accountants. The other part is gain/loss from time that cash was put into bank account. For example, we spend $100 USD to purchase and deposit R$167 BRL into Brazil bank account. Three months later that same R$167 BRL is worth only $85 USD. At that time we post and pay Brazil invoice on same day in amount of R$167 with no exchange gain/loss on the invoice. System posts credits of R$167 BRL and $85 USD to bank account G/L account. System does not record gain/loss on payment because invoice currency translation date and paid date are same. However, the bank account G/L account balance now reflects R$0 BRL and $15 USD on which system calculates a $15 USD unrealized gain/loss at month end. This unrealized gain/loss on the bank G/L account posts and reverses each month just as you said but never goes away. In minds of accountants the $15 USD gain/loss should be recognized. How best to recognize the $15 USD gain/loss, that is the question.
Thanks
Steve
