Incorrect Exchange Rate Differences Generated

Hi All,
My client's version is 8.8 SP0 PL21.
I run the Exchange Rate for GL Account (eg Bank Account) to revalue it at month end.
The local currency = USD.
The EUR Bank Account Balance is USD 1900.00 with EUR 1400.00 (as example). It is a Debit Balance in the GL.
The Exchange Rate Differences generated shows me USD -1900.00 and EUR -1400, Rate @ 0.70 = USD -100
It should show me USD 1900 --> EUR 1400 --> @ 0.70 --> USD 100.
Can anyone advice? Why the account balance is not display as per account balance with positive balance instead of a negative balance?
Regards
Jessie

Hi Jitin,
The "Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign" is ticked. So, only Credit Balance will display with negative.
I have checked the Demo Company, it is also showing the same display. The Customer's positive balance is displayed as negative value in Exchange Rate Differences.
I think this is a bug. I have checked the setup of the "Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign" is the same as my cusotmer's database setup.
Seems that no one has reported this issue. I will log a Message with SAP.
Any further advice.
Regards
Jessie

Exchange Rate Difference generated when process payment w/ withholding tax

I post a foreign currency vendor invoice w/ withholding tax posting
that is related to the expense transaction. We have assigned a
withholding tax type '01' for invoice posting (that means the
withholding tax calculated during invoice posting). And this
withholding tax amount is calculated using special exchange rate
announced by Bank of Thailand (BOT). And this posting is fine. e.g. Dr
Expense Cr Vendor Cr Withholding tax.. The withholding tax amount is
calculated based on BOT rate, Expense posting is based on M rate and
the AP posting is equal to Expense Posting minus withholding tax
posting..
Assume BOT Rate is 3:1 and M rate is 2:1
FC LC
Dr Expense 100 200
Cr Vendor 85 155
Cr WH Tax 15 45
When I process outgoing payment with foreign currency for this invoice,
system always take M rate (or I use special document type to force the
system use BOT rate), but either these two results will make the
posting imbalance in Local currency, then make posting to exchange
gain/loss..
How can this problem solved? Any configuration control? Or what we only
can do is to input the LC amount during payment posting..
Please advice.

Please check table V_T7XSSPERSUBTYP, where in the subtypes for specific countries / cities need to be maintained for different infotypes. In this case check for IT0210.

MIGO exchange rate difference incorrectly.

In transaction MIGO exchange rate difference lines are generated for planned delivery costs. In some cases we found the difference exchange rate comes from the exchange rate of the purchase order, and other times we cannot find where the difference comes from. Both cases are incorrect.
Note 1278540 has already been inplemented.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Cecilia

hi,
If you make the exchange rate as Fixed via using the indicator in the PO header, then system will take this while GR and IR....if not maintained, then system will take from EKAB table...

Exchange rate difference in f-03

Hi all
pl. help me. I am not able to clear open item in f-03 which is maintained in BRL. I am posting payment in usd. the error reads:
Ex.rate diff.accts are incomplete
Diagnosis
The accounts for posting exchange rate differences could not be determined. For the specified G/L account and the specified currency key, the accounts are only specified incompletely. Either the accounts for the implemented exchange rate difference, the accounts for the valuation differences or the balance sheet adjustment account are missing.
System response
The system cannot generate the exchange rate difference posting.
Procedure
By pressing ENTER, you achieve that the document is reset to a status without automatic posting. In another window, you can complete default settings for exchange rate differences and post the document afterwards.
I have called transaction OBA1, and entered the GL a/c and currency BRL. Even i cannot save it says

Hi Uma,
Exchange Rate has been defined both the end. Like INR = USD and USD = INR.
Here you are not yet defined GL account for Exchange Rate Difference account (Gain or Loss).
T.Code OB09 Define G/L , Currency and Currency Type.
Before that you would have the GL account please create in FS00.
Hope it will help you.

Exchange rate difference not getting posted to KDM account during MIGO/MIRO

Hello Gurus,
I have a purchase order with many line items. For some of the line items, the exchagne rate difference between the date of MIGO and the date of MIGO is taken to the KDM account. But for some other line items, it is not being taken the KDM. For such line items, the value of the GR/IR account in the local currency is different from MIGO to MIRO. Due to this, the GR/IR clearing is not happening automatically.
Do you have any idea, why the system is not taking the different to KDM for some line items and taking it correctly to KDM for others.
The only difference that I noticed between these 2 line items was
In case where the KDM account is determined, the GR was done for only one line item
In case where the KDM was not determined, the GR was done for more than one line item.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Thanks and Regards
Venkatesh

Hi Venkatesh,
I suspect that in your system may be the setting in OMRW is not activated. If the CCurr indicator is not activated for respective company code. Please refer to the information from note 980402 :
After you implement this note, you can use Customizing transaction OMRW to make settings for the new logic for each company code and each currency (the first local currency and two other material ledger currencies, if the material ledger is active). If the CCCurr indicator (V_169P_PK-KDHW) is set, this activates a new logic for calculating the exchange rate difference (KDM amount) in the company code currency (first local currency). As a result, the system also generates KDM lines for purchase orders with account assignment and for purchase orders with MAP materials in inventory management and in invoice verification if required. If the material ledger (ML) is active, you can set a corresponding indicator for additional ML currencies.Bear in mind that the system performs a 1:1 cancellation for the KDM line in the cancellation transactions.
If the indicator is not activated, then the new logic for calculating the exchange rate difference is not active.
I hope this helps.

Exchange Rate difference in Balance Sheet-Revaluation in Foreign Currency

Hi
I wanted more clarification on the Exchange rate difference the system calculates when we generate a balance sheet and revalue at a fixed rate. The system does not give a breakup of the echange rate calculated. How do we arrive at the exchange rate.
And after having the exchange rate entries posted in the system. Can the system the show these values in the Balance sheet after Revaluation

Dear Gordan
Below mentioned is the balance sheet which is Revaluated in Euro(System Currency)at a Fixed Rate of 1.42.
at the end of this report we can see that the system has calculated Exchange rate difference as Euro -66483.03 .We want a break up of that amount which is calculated by the system

Partial Exchange Rate Difference Postings following upgrade to 2007

Hi Experts,
My customer has upgraded from 2005 to 2007. The upgrade has posted roughly 1000 "Partial Exchange Rate Difference Recognition" journals.
We understand the reasons why the journals have been posted. The problem we have is that the Jounral is dated at the Due Date of the Invoice, rather than the actual Posting Date of the Incoming Payment.
The Exchange Difference was actually realised at the point the Payment was received. Why has the system posted these journals with a Posting Date of the Invoice Due Date?
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
please refer to SAP note Note [1290491|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290491] - IRU Journal Entries created with incorrect Posting Date.
All the best,

Correct setting for exchange rates differences

Hey SAP B1 experts,
I have a problem with automatic generated exchange rates differences in B1.
Situation:
- I inserted all correct general ledgers in the g/l account determinations.
- The seeting in the item masterdata for "set g/l accounts by" is switched to warehouses.
- In the accounting setting in warehouses I inserted the p&l general ledger for exchange rates differences.
- I create a case which includes a exchnage rate difference.
- For the automatic generated entry the system use the general ledger which is inserted in the setting for "variance account" from the warehouse settings.
Is there any other general setting which is response for the using of the general ledgers for exchange rate differences?
Help!!
Regards
Thomas Bartels

Hey Shanker,
thank you for your realy quick answer.
In administration -> setup -> inventory -> warehouses I inserted the correct p&l account for the exchange rate differences in the seeting field "exchange rate differences", but the system don't use this setting. In my test case the system use the account from "variance account".
My questions are on the one hand why and on the other hand is there an other setting for using the correct account setting.

Thomas

Automatic posting accounts for exchange rate difference.

Guys,
My clients wants to write a check in GBP pound sterling, and for that I set up house bank for GBP and did all the other configuration steps in FBZP.We successfully printed out the check thru F110.Now when we try to mark the check as "encashed" thru FCHR,The log says 1 check selected and marked as encashed but no posting docunments get generated as system shows an errored out session,I looked into SM35,the job log says" exchange rate difference accounts are incomplete for acount 161511 currency GBP".System takes me to OB09 which is account determination for Ol Exch.rate differences.Should I update a/c 161511 here? Please note account 161511 is not a foreign currrency account.Its main cash bank account(US$ account) which I set up in House bank FI12.So in OB09 I dont see that account 161511.Wht should I do ?System also takes me to OBA1-maintain FI configuration Automatic posting. DO I need to do something in here too ? Please advice.Thanks
Regards

Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR

Hi,
Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR we need to written off as a expense for imported w/off expense and in case of assets we need to post exchange rate difference to exchange fluctuation account. Currently exchange rate difference is accounting under capital work in progress(Asset)instead of exchange fluctuation.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Venkata Suresh

Hi,
At MIRO stage, after entering PO number system will automatically populate the GRN value for selection. Here if you found that invoice value, which you have received from the vendor, is more than the system proposed amount, then you can adjust that diff amount in the GL account tab, which is next to PO reference tab in MIRO.
There enter the exch loss GL account and enter the diff amount.
Thanks,
Srinu.

SGD Exchange Rate Difference JE appears in Customer Aging Report

Dear Experts,
SAP Version: 8.81
Local Currency: SGD
We perform Exchange Rate Difference for a USD BP to calculate the unrealized gain/loss during month-end, JE created successfully.
Next, we go to Customer Aging Report and select this USD BP.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in Local Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in SGD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, the total balance can appear in SGD with no problem.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in USD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, i can't see the total balance as it is appeared as xxxxx.
Above is the behaviour in 881.
Last time in SAP 2005, when i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD will not appear, therefore i can see the total balance in USD.
What is your opinion about the behavior in 881? Will you consider it as design or issue?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Dear all,
This problem is no longer there when upgrade to 881 Patch 08.

Problem while 're-posting' a cancelle Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference

Hi Gurus,
We are facing a problem while re-posting an Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference. I say re-posting because this invoice was previously posted and reversed on the same date. Here is the scenario along with the relevant postings:
1)
G/R is posted in September when the exchange rate for dollar was, say, Rs. 49 = 1 USD.
Posting:
Service A/C.....100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (Rs. 4900)
2)
MIRO is done in October, when the exchange rate was, say, Rs. 48 = 1 USD. Thus, the exchange difference posting was done in the respective accounts.
Posting:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To Vendor A/C...........90 USD (Rs. 4320)
     To TDS A/C..............10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To Exch. Difference A/C. 0 USD (Rs. 100)
This was the correct entry, however we missed out some TDS codes and thus needed to reverse this entry and repost it.
3)
Now this invoice was reversed (T.Code MIRO) in october itself on exactly the same date on which invoice was created, and it resulted in the following postings:
Vendor A/C......90 USD (Rs. 4320)
TDS A/C.........10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (4800, i.e. 48 * 100, Rs.48 being the exchange rate in october)
4)
Now when we try to post MIRO again, it is posting the following entry:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......97.96 USD (Rs. 4800)
Exch. Difference A/C.....2.04 USD (Rs.    0)
     To Vendor A/C........... 85 USD (Rs. 4080)
     To TDS1 A/C............. 10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To TDS2 A/C............. 5 USD (Rs. 240)
This is a wrong entry. SR/IR clearing A/C should have been debited by 100 USD (Rs. 4900), and the Exch. Rate difference account should have been credited by 0 USD (Rs. 100)
Can someone please help us with this. What the system seems to be doing is, that when the Invoice was reversed, the value that got reversed for SR/IR Clearing A/C was 100 USD but with Rs. 4800 instead of Rs. 4900. Now, when we try to repost the invoice, the system divided this value by the exchange rate prevalent in September, i.e. Rs. 49, thus the resultant value 97.96 USD (i.e. 4800 / 49).
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Angad Nagpal

Solved.
The final entry is correct, as the net result in the G/L balances is the same. For further information please refer to notes 116250 and 46564.
