Group Currency setup

Dear Experts,
SAP client level- Currency (INR) was set up for my client and now he want to have reporting in USD also.
When we define Group currency (OB22) then system will consider Client currency.
I changed Client level(SCC4) currency to USD then I was able to set up group currency as USD.
Will these changes cause any problems in Existing system, Please let me know.
Thanks, Meena

Hi Expert,
Suggestible not to change Group Currency, if it is already configured..
In case of fresh configuration, then use this following options...
By changing client level as USD, it won't effects any things, but it will change Group Currency as USD for entire client.
We have one more option to use additional currencies in OY01 w.r.t our company code, If our company code country is IN, then in T-Code: OY01, go to INR and provide Index Based Currency as USD or Hard Currency as USD, which can be used for our parallel currencies.
This answer may conclude your problem...

Company code currency balance not equal Group currency balance

Dear experts,
Some of our account balances are inconsistent bewteen the company code and the group amount. This company has the same currency in both the company code and group currrencies which are USD. The exchange quotation is also setup in OB08 with 1 in both dir / indir quote. Below is an example for a HKD expenses with a HKD AP account.
GL accounts setup with same currency as company code / group currency.
Exchange quotation setup in OB08 for HKD to USD is dir.qut. 7.8 and indir.quot 7.8.
After translation, the result supposed to be,
In Document currency, Dr expenses HKD780, Cr AP HKD780
In Local currency (company code currency), Dr expenses USD100, Cr AP USD100
In Group currency, Dr exepnses USD100, Cr AP USD100
However, the current result is,
In Document currency, Dr expenses HKD780, Cr AP HKD780
In Local currency (company code currency), Dr expenses USD100, Cr AP USD100
In Group currency, Dr exepnses USD110, Cr AP USD110
The amount in local and group currency should be the same supposedly as they are in the same currency.
Have anyone ever experienced the same situation?

Thanks all,
I have checked that both 1st local currency (company code currency) and 2nd local currency (group currency) are USD.
Our user also didn't change the group currency amount during data entry as there seems no way to alter the amount as it is greyed out.
Is there any other configuration or system flow that may be configured to post these 2 currency amount in a different way of translation?

Alternate Exchange Rate Type Not Picked while converting from Document Currency to Group Currency

Hello Gurus,
We have setup an alternate Exchange Rate type MNB for rate M for the postings happening in Hungary. Local currency is HUF. Group currency is USD.
If the document currency is, lets say, EUR, latest MNB rate is correctly picked up (EUR to HUF) and postings are correctly converted into local currency (HUF).
Although, for the same document, when a group currency is being calculated (EUR to USD), exchange rate type M is being picked up. Same happens if document currency is HUF. Even then, the conversion is based on exchange rate type M.
Is this a normal SAP behavior? How to prevent/correct this? This is also throwing off balances when we check in FAGLB03 or BSEG values in local and group currencies. In OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M and we may not want to make any changes there as it is setup at global level.
Do we need to run any valuations after the fact? if so, how?
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
You mentioned that "in OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M". Then, I'm wondering how MNB is picked up for the first local curr. conversion to HUF? It should be 'M' instead. There must be some settings in your instance for such behavior. Can you check that?
Actually, Group Curr. conversion happens with the rate defined for 2nd Loc.Curr.in OB22 which is 'M' in your case. Therefore, all the transactions are converted with M instead of MNB.
Since you can't change OB22 per global co.policy, the exch.rate defined in OBA7 will overrule OB22. However, you've to make sure it's set up for all doc.types which are affected and posted in different curr. than HUF.
As a workaround, another thought would be to maintain the same conversion rate for both exch.rate types MNB & M, for eg. HUF > USD rate is the same both exch.rate type MNB & M. This way, you ensure all transactions are posted with correct exch.rate irrespective of whatever rate type is used.
From business, & global org. perspective, I'm sure they are sending the 'M' exch.rates to all their sister concerns monthly, so they would like to consolidate results as per standard rate in their system. Then, why ,as a local company, would you like to fiddle with standard process? It's a management decision, please run them through again before going ahead.

Enhance 2LIS_03_UM to include Material Ledger and Group Currency

Hi all,
I have searching for a solution for this issue for almost a week now both in SDN and Service Marketplace but seems that there is very less informaton about it.
Background:
We are in the process of implementing the standard content for Inventory in BI and have followed all the steps necessary to initialize and load data. Out data matches perfectly with reports such as MC.1 and MB5L however in the Revaluation datasource there is no provision to pickup other currency type for material price maintained in material ledger.
I have been trying to find some User Exit/BADI either in the V1/V2 posting or during V3 collection run to pick the delta in standard price and Moving Average Price (MAP) for these difference currency types but without any success.
We have total three valuations maintained in the ML (Material Ledger)
10 - Local Currency (this is the only one provided in the standard content extractor)
30 - Group Currency With Group Valuation
31 - Group Currency with Legal valuation
Even if I change the Group currency in MR21 the change is picked up by 2LIS_03_BF and with the field BWGEO blank. This is not surprising since this field is for Local currency only.
I am sure that someone must have faced this issue before where material ledger is active, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Hi,
Delta load extracts data from Delta Queue based on your update mode selected in LBWE.
Full Load or Init load extracts data from Setup tables, here if you are extracting data from setup tables ? did you fill the setup tables now or not after deleting the existing data of the setup tables?
are you getting same values when compare to R/3 and BW data for some document numbers?

GRIR Maintenence and Clearing for non group currency PO

Hi Experts
I have an issue where I have a PO in say USD where group currency for company is Aus Dollar (AUD)
At Month end, for whatever reason there is a GR/IR balance and we maintain it with MR11 but MR11 balances the difference in group currency (AUD) where all other postings for the PO are in USD.
When we run F.13 or F13E the account never clears as it only clears transactions of same currency. We seem to never be able to clear these (without introducing a large tolerance in F.13 perhaps?)
Any ideas on a way forward?
thanks
AC

Try the finance forum ?
I'd expect all currency amounts to get converted to company currency and I've never known MR11 not to clear balances. Wild guess: have you got required exchange rates in place ?

Table for finding material cost in group currency

Hi ,
We are maintaing product cost on Cocode currency and group currency using CK11. We are not able to find the cost in group currecy in MEBW or KEPH.
Kindly let me know the right table to look into.
Thanks,
Jatin

Hi Jatin
Did you mean you have cost component split in controlling area currency? if yes, then you will get for each costing calculation two records in table KEPH, the currency label is field LOSFX. The record with blank LOSFX is company code currency, the one with "X" is controlling area currency.
Hope this helps.

Realized exchange rate difference in local and group currency

Hi Friends,
For a company code with local currency as Euro and group currency as USD, the setting in TR code OB22 for group currency is: Translation taking first local currency as a basis. When the open items are cleared, SAP posts difference in local currency and group currency. Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD. The realized exchange difference is posted in Euro but it is not converted from Euro to group currency. Instead, system just calculates difference in group currency by comparing the value in group currency at the time of original transaction and when the transaction is cleared. Does anyone have dealt with such requirement and is there a way to be able to translate realized exchange differences from local to group currency?
Thanks and regards,
Pinky

>Sometimes, document currency is also group currency i.e. USD.
Can you explain, it's because of your settings or because of SAP?

Exchange rate difference posted to Group currency only during MIRO

Hi SAP Gurus,
We're activating parallel currency in ML and USD is the group currency. GR/IR clearing acct is managed in local currency only.
OB22
Crcy Type 30    Group currency                               Currency   USD
Valuation        Legal Valuation
ER Type    M     Standard translation at average rate
Srce curr. 1     Translation taking transaction currency as a basis
TrsDte typ 3     Translation date
Please find below scenario:
Co code currency: ZAR
PO: ZAR
Upon GR:
Posting date- 04/14/2009 exch. rate 1ZAR= 0.11099 USD
Entry: debit Expense - 4,078.19 ZAR/ 452.64 USD
          credit GR/IR acct -   4,078.19 ZAR/ 452.64 USD
Upon IR:
Posting date- 04/20/2009 exch. rate 1 ZAR= 0.11279 USD
Entry: debit GR/IR acct - 4,078.19 ZAR/ 452.64 USD
          credit Vendor acct - 4,078.19 ZAR/ 460.02 USD
automatic additional debit Expense - 0.00 ZAR/ 7.38 USD
Here are my questions:
1.) Where would I check the setting for the GL account used in the automatic line entry posted in group currency during IR? (3rd line item above)
2.) Can this be changed? Say instead of the original acct assignment, the management want to change it to FX gain/loss account
3.) How?
I have checked several notes (331910,etc) but I can't seem to find the answers to my questions.
Appreciate your help. Thanks!
Regards
Dru

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.

Dru

How to restrict Group Currency to Version

Hi
I am looking into multiple group currency consolidation, using different versions.
My question, is it possible to restrict the Group Currency by version.
E.g., I want version 100 to be restricted to group currency GBP, and version 999 to be restricted to group currency USD.
Regards
M

Thanks Eugene
I appreciate I can specify in the Parameters the relevant combinations.
However what I want to do is restrict whats acceptable in the parameters, that is
GBP & v.999 or USD & v.100 should not be allowed to be entered.
Because you can have 2 group currencies in a single version, then I am not sure how this would be restricted.
Thanks
M

Vendor-Customer balances in group currency-table/structure/function module?

Hi All,
Which table/structure/function module can be used to get balances for vendors and customers in group currency? We just wnat to extract balances in group currency so FBL1N and FBL5N are not options. Is there any SAP report which can provide these balances for both vendors and customers?
Thanks and regards,
Pinky

Hi Pinky,
I came across one report S_ALR_87012079 - Transaction Figures: Account Balance, Program RFSRRCUA, which extracts Account Balances of Vendor. Once the report is executed, you can do Currency Translation from one currency to different currencies. In the output screen, in the Top Menu, select 'Settings -> Currency' and you can convert to another currency. I am not sure, if this helps you. If this helps, kindly update your comments here.
Thank you.

Customer balances in Group Currency

Is there any way to get the Customer balances in Group currency - I am running TC S_ALR_87012172 for a UK Company Code. This TC provides me balances and details in GBP only and does not provide the option to get my USD balances. Is there any other transaction which would allow me to get the same type of report but in both LC and Group currency or at least only on GC? Same goes for TC S_ALR_87012082 for the payables side.

Hi
Can you try to edit the fields in layout in same t-code , also you can try to check the report in t-code: FBL5N if group currency filed is not avalible.

Difference in Local currency and Group currency Balance

Hi,
I have a query where ...
Company code has 2 currencies ;Group currency is USD and Document Currency is GBP
This GL account is zero balance account . It has alredy set up in Document spitting customization setting
Through FB03 normal view we can see the zero balance but while displaying the document general ledger view with option of group currency ; it is showing zero balance for the local currency and balance amount for group currency USDu2026
Can I get any suggesion where should I need to check for this?
Thanks in Advance

Hiten,
We are on ECC6.0. For us the problem is ongoing production orders.
Based on SAP notes about excluding zero balance orders from settlement process, I tried to close such orders but system does not allow it as it sees the parallel currecy balance.
Thanks,
Sanjay Wagh

Reclassification of Customer & Vendor Balances in Group Currency

Hello
It is with regards to the Reclassification of Customer & Vendor
Balances vide T Code FAGLF101 - Sorting/Reclassification (New) as per
IFRS.
The reclassification entries are getting generated in Document & Local
Currency but no values are getting accounted in Group Currency. The
reclassification entries should also get accounted in Group Currency.
We had also implemented following notes related to the same but were
unable to get the required results.
1365637 - FAGLF101: Transaction currency amount in postings
1463016 - FAGL_CL_REGROUP: Additional local currencies (re-
measurement)
1493437 - FAGLF101/FAGL_CL_REGROUP: Additional local currencies
Can some one please comment why the entries are not be flowing in Group
currency in IF ledger. OR are there any additional notes need to be
implemented.
Regards
Atul

This language seems you are asking your doubts related to some other version of SAP and this is SAP Business One Forum.
You are requested to post your question to correct forum because unfortunately you can not get any help from this forum.
And if you have the other doubts regarding same version then please close all those threads and post it to right one....

Unable to clear GL due to Val difference between Local and group currency.

hi,
We have an open item managed Revaluation G/L account in our company code which has a local currency USD.There are some documents posted to this account in both USD and CAD. But when we analyze the docs posted in CAD we found a valuation difference in the local currency(USD) and the Group currency(again USD). I am not sure of the reason for this. But due to this difference we are unable to clear this account. Please let me know if anyone can think of how to clear this particular GL account.

We have an issue even with document currency in USD. there is a valuation difference between Local currency (USD) and Group currency (USD).
For example:
Doc currency = 0 USD
Local Currrency = 171,000 USD
Group currency = 0 USD
Because of this I am not able to clear the account. Not sure why there is a difference inspite of the same currency. I try to clear it in F-04 but I get the below error:
Posting is only possible with a zero balance; correct document
