GL Posting in Parallel Currencies

Hi All,
For co.code using parallel currencies (2 local currencies) whereby the 2nd one is index based, is there a feature/possibility to enter manual exchange rate (different than the rate in OB08) for the 2nd currency instead of directly entering the manually translated amount in the line item during GL posting? Cause the manual exchange rate field in the header is only used for the main/1st local currency translation, and not for the 2nd local currency.
Appreciate for any clarification on this.
Best rgds,

hi,
It's a one time activity daily to maintain the other currency exchange rates in OB08.
While document entry you can't maintain exchange rate for second currency.

Purchase price variance line item - not to be posted in Parallel currency

Hi All,
Scenario:
Transaction currency - SGD
Local Currency - INR
Parallel Currency 1 (LC2) - Group currency - USD
Parallel Currency 2 (LC3) - Global Company currency - INR
Import PO - MIGO - MIRO
PO is raised in foreign currency.
Material master price control is maintained in 'S'.
While doing MIGO, I am getting following accounting entries:
Stock a/c Dr.
GR/IR a/c Cr.
Price variance* a/c Dr.
*The price varaince is because of difference in my material price as per material master and PO.
If I go and check in FBL3N, I can see all the line items in Transaction, Local currency and 2 Parallel currencies.
My query is, In SAP is it possible to avoid Price variance line item posting to Parallel currencies.
To my knowledge I know that it is not possible to avoid a single line to post it to Parallel currencies.
Thanks in advance.

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Exchange rate difference posting in parallel currencies

Hello experts,,
We are on ECC 6.
When we enter an invoice with MIRO and the current exchange rate differs from that in the PO, the exchange rate differences in local currency and in parallel currency (group currency) post to different accounts.
Is this a standard feature / behavior? If so, where can i find the settings.
Shouldn't the postings in all currencies (except doc currency), in the event of exchange rate difference post to the same account?
The material ledger is not active.
We have maintained 3 different currencies.
Example to illustrate -
DC = JPY
LC = SGD
GC = USD
PO for asset.
PO value = 10000 JPY
Ex rate not fixed in the PO.
Ex rate at PO -
100 JPY = 1.6 SGD
100 JPY = 0.85 USD
Ex Rate at IR
100 JPY = 1.7 SGD
100 JPY = 0.9 USD
When IR is entered,
The exchange rate difference of 10 SGD (@ 0.1 per 100 JPY) is posted to the asset. No posting in USD (though there is a balance of 5 USD).
At clearing (Transaction FB1S - GL account clearing) the exchange rate difference (in GC only, because no balance in LC) of 5 USD (@ 0.05 per 100 JPY) is posted to the Exch. rate difference GL acct.
Thanks in advance for your advice/solution.

Hi,
Check in t.code: OB22. the 'source currency' used for translation in . There are two options:
1 Translation taking transaction currency as a basis
2 Translation taking first local currency as a basis

Creation of depreciation area for posting of parallel currencies postings

while i am posting f-90 asset e. auqsiation its giving error massage
"Customizing inconsistency (contact your system administrator)
Message no. AC496
Diagnosis
Company code BP01 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 60 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01.

Hi Venkat,
Create a New Depreciation area with APC Values and Depn values identical to Value 01.
Then goto valuation> currencies

Posting of Exchange rate differences in parallel currencies

Hello experts,,

Hello,
1. You have to assign Forex GL's for the reconciliation accounts in OB09.
2. At the time of payment for incoming invoices, system can read the valuation differences and it will post to Realized Gain/Loss accounts and B/S adjustment account.
3. You can consider this amount to issue bonus to your customers.

Issue with Asset Managemenet (parallel Currencies)

This message is from my customer:
Capital investments are kept in Asset Managemenet (FI-AA), balances are integrated part of FI-GL, shown on respective accounts.
Within AM, multiple valuation areas exists, as an asset underly different rules, depending of it's accounting (book) value and tax value etc.
Therefore, we have one area (01) representing the book value, - which is also the GL-balance. In addition, AM keep another area (10) representing the tax value.
Finally, we have a third area representing the difference between Tax and book, (called 'delta'), and these values are posted to GL as 'more/less depreciation', enabling us to report both 'Accounting books' and 'Norwegian tax books'. This 'delta posting' is part of standard, monthly depreciation run.
We have a challenge in the case were we have USD as functional currency, in an entity registrated as Norwegian a/s.
Norwegian tax authorities require the tax values of the depreciation to be based on historical NOK-investments. Both FI-GL and FI-AA support the parallel currency
accounting, but not when it comes to the handling of the 'delta-values'. In this case, the initial investments are kept in histotical NOK in AM, and in AM the NOK-investment is depreciatied in the tax area. However, when the delta-posting is done, this is done in USD only (based on area 01 and 10), and the parallel NOK-value of this transaction is translated based on exchange rate on transaction date, NOT the historical NOK-value. The consequense of this is that the tax-books in NOK is incorrect, and there is a need to do manual adjustments, based on tiresome spreadsheet calculations.
Now: is this the only way SAP handles parallel currencies in AA/AM? No way to configure it to use historical exchange rates at all?
If this cannot be changed within SAP, has anyone else solved this kind of problem and might help me getting started?

Hello!
Does someone have answers to this:
From SAP Help:
The central procurement and processing of data for an asset takes place
in the logical database ADA in the FI-AA component. One of the functions
that is carried out in the database is currency translation. Currency
translation for a currency that is different from the company code
currency is carried out according to a translation method that you
define in FI-AA Customizing.
Where do i find this customising?
If the parameters of this standard translation method do not meet your
needs, you can define your own individual translation method using this
SAP enhancement.
Activities
Follow the procedure outlined below:
<b>
1. Activate enhancement project AMGS_001.
2. Modify function module EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001. Enter your own code in the
    included program ZXBADU03.
    When the enhancement project is active, the system uses the function
     module at the corresponding positions in the logical database.
3. Define a translation method in FI-AA Customizing (Information
      System) that uses translation date 3 (own translation).
</b>
Parameters
The following transfer parameters are available for function module
EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001:
o   I_AMOUNT (amount in local currency)
o   I_ANLAV (master data for the asset)
o   I_AFABER (depreciation area)
o   I_BERDATUM (report date)
o   I_UMVAR (translation method)
The translated amount is expected as a return value in the field
E_AMOUNT. This value is then transferred to the respective report.
This looks promissing But has anyone tried this exit, EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001?
Will it work for me?

Just an update to this issue- I just found out that the system is pointing to KBS when posting the
exchange rate difference in group currency upon IR, hence, PO account
assignment is adopted. I'd like to rephrase my question- is there any
way we can change SAP behaviour such that it will point to other
transaction key (e.g. KDG) other than KDM? Bottomline is we want it
charged to other GL account not the one in the PO.
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Parallel currencies in Asset

Hello
In our case Legal valuation & Profit Centre valuations are active with currency INR. In the Depreciation areas for Asset account, I have copied reference 0IN and I have kept two depreciation areas 01 (book) & 15 (tax). However, while trying to post in Asset accounting, system is giving error:
" Company code 1000 manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 12 and currency INR. There is no depreciation area of this type defined for depreciation area 01."
I am not able to get which depreciation area I should maintain for this in the Chart of Depreciation. Please help me.

Hello,
You got the error message AC496 because your company code is defined with additional local currency(ies) in FI (see table T001A).
As the message AC496 states, in this case you have to define one   dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical VALUES and   depreciation TERMS from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 12 and the currency.
Asset Accounting > Valuation > Currencies > Specify the Use of Parallel Currencies
Check if the Chart of Depreciation (which is assigned to your company code) has no depreciation area which is assigned to another currency type.
Make sure that the 'idetical' flag has been on for your specific depreciation area.
T093A like it should be, when depreciation area XX should be the parallel depreciation area:
AFABE WRTAFB PARAFB XWRTID XINDID AFARFO XUMHIS CURTP
01     00     00                                               ZZZZ
15     01     00                                               ZZZZ
XX    01     01          X      X                           ZZZZ   X                 12
You need definetely one area with currency type 12.
Otherwise you cannot post anything to asset books.

Material master upload with Parallel currency

Hi,
I have done a good research on this forum to solve my issue. Could not find any and hence starting a new post. Hope to find a solution. Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Our company is using Parallel Currency (Hard Currency).
Whenever a material is created, the Hard currency is calculated automatically in Accounting 1 view
My query is:
While uploading the material master using RMDATIND, is there any way we can overwrite the Hard currency? I could not find any suitable fields to fill this value.
Alternatively i am thinking of using BDC on MM02 to change the Price unit and BDC on MR21 to change the standard price of the hard currency. Which seems very cumbersome.
Any good solution will be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Default Exchange rate type at document type level for parallel currencies

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein 2 parallel currencies have been maintained (Grp & index based) against a Co Code and have maintained a default exchange type (Z2) in the Document type settings (OBA7).
But when I want to post a foreign currency document, system picks Z2 rates for Co Code currency conversion and not for Grp & index based. In fact it picks M rate for these addtional currencies.
I know that for parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type defined in transaction OB22 ( "M" rate) which is at Co Code level but I want default exchange rate type Z2 to be picked at Document Type level for all the parallel currencies.
Please suggest how to archive this.
Thanks,
Sam

Dear Sam,
The exchange rate type defined in the FI document type (-> field
exchange rate type in transaction OBA7) is only used for the currency
translation from transaction/document currency into first local
currency, not for the currency translation into second local (group)
currency or for the currency translation into third local currency.
The exchange rate types for the currency translation into second
local (group) currency and third local currency are defined in
transaction OB22.
Unfortunately there is no option to change the exchange rate of 2nd or
3rd local currency in our posting transactions. The design doesn't
regard that requirement. But you have the chance to adjust the parallel
currencies in OB22 or to change the amounts manually.
I hope this helps.

FI Parallel currency

Hi,
Please explain about the use of parallel currency.
As I understand, if we define parallel currency in FI, every posting will be post in transaction currency, local currency and additional currency. If we are looking at financial statement, the value shown in additional currency is it based on valuation of each transaction or is it valuation based on final value in local currency then converted to additional currency?
If we are using additional currency, do we have to implement material ledger?
what other effect additional parallel currency cause?
thank you.

Hi,
please review the following:
Group currency
Group currency is the currency which is specified in the client table or
which is to be entered there.
Hard currency
Hard currency is a country-specific second currency which is used in
countries with high inflation.
Also customers usually used the second local currency is the Group
currency and the third is the hard currency: the group currency is the
currency that the holding (Company) usually uses to do the consolidation
balance among all the company codes; the hard currency is the foreign
priviledge currency that can be used to do international payments or
monetary reserve.
I hope this helps You further.

Currency revaluation in Parallel Currency

Hi,
Having set up parallel currency (currency type 40) in FI and FI-AA. Local Currency is CNY; Parallel Currency is USD.
As soon as a time lag exists between two activities i.e. incurring costs in January - settlement and capitalize costs in March a different translation rate is applied to CNY/USD. Therefore a difference in USD incurrs.
Is there a way to revaluate parallel currency differences within standard SAP?
Is there a way to post clear this difference manually in the parallel ledger in USD without influencing the main ledger in CNY?
Technical infos: SAP ECC 6.0 without new G/L

Hi,
first of all, you cannot avoid this differences, but this is completely OK.
Of course you can revaluate in currency type 40. The posting would be then like this:
(original account to be revaluated vs. P/L gain/loss account):
Amount in doc.currency = 0 xxx
Amount in company code currency (CT 10) = 0 CNY
Amount in hard currency (CT40) = xxx USD.
So only the items / balances in CT40 are changed, no impact on CNY.
HOw to achieve this: either you run F.05 (SAPF100) for currency type 40 (recommended) or you post manually in F-05, this transaction allows you to enter the value of 0 in any amount field (at least 1 amount, in this case, CT40 USD amount, must be of course greater than zero) without converting the doc.currency and/or local currency amounts immediately.
Hope that helps, points welcome

Tolerance exceeded due to translation difference in parallel currency.

Hi,
I am getting the following error when transaction: ASKB -
Tolerance exceeded for differences due to currency translation
Message no. AAPO518
Diagnosis
An error occurred during translation of currency amounts into the parallel currency using currency type 40.
The document balance is 3605.07 MRL and it cannot be corrected automatically.
System Response
The document cannot be created
Please help to understand and solve the error.

Hi,
It could be that you need a derived depr. area activated as
"Derived depreciation area as real area"
Documentation:
Treat Derived Depreciation Area As Real Area
Specifies that a depreciation area that was originally defined as a
derived depreciation area is treated as a real depreciation area in
the target company code. This means that not only depreciation
differences can be posted to special depreciation reserve accounts,
but also real differences in acquisition and production costs can be
posted to balance sheet accounts.
Use
If you set this indicator, then the system posts the real difference
between two depreciation areas, if the original depreciation area was
defined as the difference between two other areas (for example,
special depreciation area 03 defined as the difference between areas
01 and 02). If the source depreciation area is not a derived
depreciation area, then the system removes the indicator during the
input check.
Please take into account that after this change on customizing,
the accounts in the account determination for this depreciation
area have to be maintained for APC accounts also.
In another scenario the reason for error AAPO518 was the use of a
non standard schema. May you check if you are using a modificatin to the
schema: for example you can check this in transaction SM43 ->
ie SM34 -> VC_T093H01. Check the transaction and to which schema
it is linked.

Parallel Currency Depreciation Areas.

Hi,
I have activated parallel currencies (Hard Currency - EUR & Indexed Based - USD) concept to my company code. I am trying to settle WBS, that time I am getting error message "Company code XXXX manages parallel currencies in Asset Accounting. For each area that posts automatically online to FI, you have to define one dependent depreciation area that adopts both identical values and depreciation terms from depreciation area 01, and which is assigned to currency type 40 and currency EUR.

For the above error how to create dependent depreciation area and attaching to currency type EUR".
Help is needed very urgent.
Thanks in advance for the same.
Regards.

Hi,
Normally when you activated parallel currencies, then you should have minimum 2 depreciation area. First is Book Depreciation , and the second is "Group Currency" Depreciation.
You can define depreciation Area for "Group Currency" in :
SPRO -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Define Depreciation Area
Then you should Specify Area Type in t-code : OADC. Set "Typ"= 6 (group Valuation) for the "Group Currency" depreciation area.
Then Specify Transfer of APC Values in t-code : OABC , fill "ValAd"= 01 and tick column "Identical" for "Group Currency" Area.
Do the same thing in t-code : OABD.
Then You should define currency for those depreciation area in t-code : OAYH.
Last, you should Specify the use of parallel currencies in :
SPRO=> Asset Accounting -> Valuation -> Currency ->Specify the use of parallel currencies .
For "Group Currency" Depreciation area , Fill following :
"Currency Type" = 30 Group Currency
Tick "IdAPC"
"Ttr" = 1 book depreciation
Tick "Indnt Trn"
Hope It can help.
