Forex valuation accounts

Hi All,
I m getting an error for maintaining the forex valuation accounts for one of the GL accounts. The solution for the same will be to maintain the accounts using transaction code OB09 in table T030H. However when I went through the transactions in the GL account, I noticed that all the transactions have document currency and local currency same. I m not able to understand then why am i getting this error. Does anyone have any clue on this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Aman Goel

Hi,
You can go through GL, Vendor, Customer line item display and change the screen layout and include Effective exchange
rate coloumn so that you can see the rate applied for that particular transaction. Further, in periodic processing of
forex valuation through F.05 or FAGL_FC_VAL you see the effective rates and the relative loss or gain with respect to
your OB08 setting.

Forex valuation

Dear friends & experts,
I am new to the forum and appreciate that you guys can help me on the forex valuation issue.
I wonder whether there is a foreign currency valuation procedure (besides SAPF100) which can generate valuation postings for line item display.
I did the F.06 but didn't success.
Appreciate if u can advise me on what option to be clicks and what fields to be filled for transaction F.06.
Thank you.
-ZUKI-

Hi Zuki,
Following are the fields to be filled in F.06
1. Company code
2. Evaluation Key Date
3. Valuation Methods: SAP provides various valuation methods: BSK, EVR and KTO
4. Valuation in curr.type : 10 Or or valuation area SA
5. Check : Create Postings
6. Batch input session name - Code identifying the batch session that is created Example: FCV0620021
7. Document date Date the transaction occurred Example: 310702
8. Posting date - Date that the business transaction occurred Example: 310702
9. Posting period Fiscal month when the transaction posts to the General Ledger Example: 7
10. Reversal posting date Date when you want to post a reverse. Normally the 1st day of next month Example: 010802
11. Reverse post. period Posting period for reversal Example: 08
Now you need to select the accounts you want to valuate. Click <tab button> Selections .
1 Click Valuate vendor open items .
2.Click Valuate customer open items Button .
 You can select only particular vendor / customer accounts to be valuated. If you leave the selection fields empty (like in our example), all the accounts will be selected for valuation.
Click Execute Button to perform valuation. Note that the system does not create the postings immediately but creates a batch input session instead.
Press Back Button .
To post the valuation, you need to process the Batch Input Session that youve just created. You can open another SAP session.
From the main menu choose System  Services  Batch input  Sessions

Forex valuation in New gl

Dear All,
Can some one please update on the forex valuation in NEWGL scenario and specially the reversal at the beginning of the subsequent month.
Thanks and regards,
Gokul.

HI Tony,
The new Foreign currency valuation program. FAGL_FC_VALUATION uses the ledger group assigned to the valuation area to determine the ledger(s) from which balance is to be read for valuation. If the ledger group assigned to the valuation area contains only a single ledger, this ledger is used for the selection of the balances. If more than one ledger is contained in the ledger group assigned to the valuation area, each ledger is valuated individually
However, The postings for the valuation of balances are made using the ledger group that has the same name as the ledger being valuated. For example, if ledger group Z1 is assigned to the valuation area, which contains ledgers 0L and ledger L1, the balances of ledger 0L are valuated and the valuation program makes the postings using ledger group 0L and balances of ledger L1 are also valuated and the program makes postings with ledger group L1
In the above scenario, if ledger group L1 contain ledgers L1 and Z1, foreign currency valuation postings would be made to both the ledgers L1 and Z1 based on the balances in ledger L1
More details availble in the following SAP Note
983847 - Foreign Currency Valuation: Balances in NEW G/L
The above scenario works for multiple ledgers only in the case of GL accounts which are not open item managed.
For Open item managed GL accounts, the posting would be made to the ledger group assigned to the valuation area.
Warm regards,
Murukan Arunachalam

F.05 and valuation account issue

Hello,
I have a crazy question about the Payment document posting. Here is the scenario:
There is an Invoice cretaed through MIRO in USD. The company code is in CAD.
So there are postings against the GR/IR accounts.
If I do Payment runF110, the total exchange gain/loss is posting to the corresponding account based on the currency ex. rate
If the users does F.05 (GR/IR Valuation option checked) at the period end and then if the user runs F110 following month, the payment document shows credit of valuation account postings and debit to the ex change gain/loss account. Why is it showing the valuation account postings here? What should we do with these postings?
Can some one explain me the business process of the whole F.05 and F110 postings please?
Thanks In Advance.

Hi Venkat,
Was the entry generated via F.05 reversed the next period/date?

What is the use of split valuation Accounting view

Hi
What is the use of split valuation Accounting view.is it compulsary to give for every materisl?
regards
Ashok

Hii Ashok,
The SAP R/3 System allows you to valuate stocks of a material either together or separately, that is, according to different valuation criteria. Split valuation is necessary if, for example:
1. Stock from in-house production has a different valuation price than externally procured stock.
2. Stock obtained from one manufacturer is valuated at a different price than stock obtained from another manufacturer.
3. Different batch stocks of a material have different valuation prices.
4. Value damaged and repair part differently from a new part.
To used split valuation, you have to activate it using 'OMW0'.
To change split material valuation once it has been set, you must
1. first post out all stocks (for example, to a cost center or with movement type 562)
2. then change the control parameters
3. if necessary, change the automatic account determination
4. finally post the stocks back in again
In split valuation, you can distinguish between partial stocks of a material according to certain criteria and valuate them separately.
The material stock is divided according to valuation category and valuation type.
The valuation category determines how the partial stocks are divided, that is, according to which criteria.
The valuation type describes the characteristics of the individual stocks.
With the function "Setting" you can determine:
which valuation categories exist in your company (global categories)
which valuation types exist in your company (global types)
which valuation types belong to which valuation category
which valuation categories exist in a valuation area (local categories)
Your entries are only relevant if you set split valuation as active in the function "Global settings".
In the standard SAP R/3 System, the following valuation categories are default settings :
B procurement type
with the valuation types:
"EIGEN" for in-house production
"FREMD" for external procurement
H Origin
X automatic valuation (only for batch)
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.

Kumar

VALUATION & ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT

HI GURURS
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT THE STEP BY STEP CUSTOMIZATION OF VALUATION & ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT IN SPRO

Hi
You cannot achieve this, if your material is valuated.
This can be achieved with non-valuated materials.

FOREX valuation issue

Hi,
I posted FOREX valuation for vendors open items at a wrong posting date. How can this be undone or rectified. Experts guide please..

Hi:
If you are on ECC 6..then go to FAGL_FC_VAL, pull the exact same selection variant with which you executed your original valuation and select the 'Reset Valuation' checkbox, specify a reason for reset and run the transaction. This will do the job. However if you are on a version before 6 then you can reset the valuation posted wrongly by creating another valuation procedure in OB59 and this time under valuation procedure, select reset n OB59..I hope this will help you.

FAGL_FC_TRANS posting to valuated account not possible?

The foreign currency translation program seems to only allow posting to a adjustment account and a gain/loss account. We can try to design different accounts for each financial statement item, but what we really want to do is to post the difference back to the valuated account themselves. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.

Let me try.
Example:
180000 current asset account ABC
Before translation:
Local currency balance: 10,000 GBP
Group currency balance: 15,000 USD
After translation:
Local currency balance: 10,000 GBP
Group currency balance: 16,000 USD
But the $1000 USD diffence is posted to a gain/loss account say "199999". What we want is to post the $1000 difference back to 180000 account. Is this possible?

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,

Forex realize account

I have maintained INDIRECT forex rate in OB08
I have posted an journal entry for a GL in Foreign currency .
I run F.05, But I see the ACCOUNT column blank and also OLD DIFFERENCE coumn as "0"
Can any one please help ,where iam wrong as in account column the EX P/L account needs to display.
Thnks

No. F.05 is for foreign currency valuation. If that is what you are trying to do, then you would have to create your valuation methods in OB59 where you specify the document type such as FX.
You need to define two valuation methods. One for Balance Sheet and one for Income Statement. In the Balance Sheet valuation method, check off radio button always valuate. Document Type as FX and then exchange rate type for debitbal and creditbal as 0011.
For Income Statement valuation method, check off always valuate and specify document type as FX. Then for exchange rate type for both debitbal and creditbal, enter 0012.
If you have not yet created the document type FX, you may want to do so. Name the document type as FX Revaluation ( you do not need to follow me rigidly. Give a description you like).
In the document type, enter 01 for number range, reverse document type as FX. Check off all account types allowed. Under default values, enter M. and then save.

Stock Transport for Non Valuated Account Assigned Material

Hi Experts,
I have to satisfy some unique requirement from my demanding FICO team to make certain process work our way.
Following is the scenario...
1. Plant A and plant B belongs to the same company.
2. Plant A makes material X (non valuated, ind/coll indicator = 1).
3. X calls for sub-assembly Y (non valuated, ind/coll indicator = 1) which is a make item in plant B. X and Y belongs to different Profit Centers
4. Sales order placed at plant A for material X.
5. MRP runs and creates a stock transport order in plant A to buy the non valuated material Y from plant B. STO is account assigned to the sales order.
6. Plant B makes the material Y by creating a production order that is account assigned to the same sales order and does PGI to ships it out to plant A.
7. Plant A GRs the material Y and this puts it in sales order stock. No value move, just qty move. Also no FI document created.
8. Plant A issues component Y to the production order created for material X. Cost of Y doesn't show up in the production order as it is non valuated.
9. Upon settlement of the production order in Plant B, the ACTUAL cost gets settled to the sales order in plant A. So at the time of settlement the profit center switch happens for Y (i.e. the profit center for Y changes to match X's profit center)
This is a beautiful process from logistics point of view. BUT, my FICO has unique requirement for inter company sales for our organization. For them to consider a process as inter company sales, the following constraints has to be met...
1. Ownership of material remains with producing profit center until consumption by the receiving object. (with the above mentioned process the profit center switch happens during prod. order settlement)
2. Cost for the consuming profit center will be moving average, standard cost or planned cost. (we are dealing with non-valuated materials and the settlement happens at actual cost)
I need your expertise to help me define a work aroud. I am thinking about a lot of options to somehow make it work but can't seem to get solutions. Following are my thoughts...
1. Is it possible to possible to make the settlement with planned cost instead of actual cost?
2. Is it possible to make a profit center switch during consumption rather during settlement?
3. Is it somehow possible to create an underlying FI document during GR at plant A? (I know SAP does not create a FI doc. for non valuated materials).
4. Or can plant B send an invoice to plant A for the STO? (I believe this can be done for cross-company STO) I am thinking doing an Invoice Receipt at plant A instead of doing a settlement might show up the cost for Y in the production order for X.
An IR with the planned cost would be an awesome solution to get the buy-in from FICO. Can this be done?
I hope you don't mind my lengthy message... Waiting for some positive response.
Thanks.

Anyone??? This is kinda urgent?

Issue with Exchange rate valuation Account

Hi Experts,
We have one issue.. Our user has run the foreigh currency valuation in Transaction F.05 from year 2005 to 2009. But now there is one issue. The Foreign currency exchange rate valuation gl has not setup the open item check box. Due to this issue, all line items are open in Account.
Could you please take it up as High Priority issue and suggest me.
Reg
Raj.

Hello,
If in G/L account master data, open line item is not checked, You can activate open line items management for G/L account.
If you don't use new GL, please run RFSEPA02 program with using SE38. If you use new G/L please refer OSS note 175960 "RFSEPA02/03 not supported as of Release 4.5A. What can I do? "
If your SAP version 603, you can run transaction FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP for activation open line items.
Otherwise, If you don't have to valuate foreign currency with open line item, you can valuate balance for G/L accounts.
I hope, I got your question correctly.
Regards,
Burak
