Incorrect Foreign Currency Calculation

GoodDay,
Can anyone provide some guidence on the cause of the follwoign problem.
Local Currency (LC) - TTD
Foreign Currency (FC) USD
Money will been taken out of our CItibank Acount creating a credit to the account 10600 Citi NY USD REAL.  On the day the acocunt is credited in Foreign Currency the equivalent in Local Currency  is calucated based on the rate entered on that day in the rate table.
When the money is  re-entered into the account, in Foreign Currency on another day, the local currency equivalent is  also calcualated based on the rate entered on that day from the rate table.
The differerence due to the exchange rate is stored in our 50140 Gain on Forex Transaction G/L Account.
The problem is the calcualtion from the foreign to local currency when the money has returned to the account is incorrect even though the rate is correct in the rate table.
The exchange rate the day the money came back into the account is 6.34585. However the system appears to have calculated it 63.5485
Therefore, Foreign Currency Amount  US 85,270,000.00 equates to  Local Currency TT 5,411,106,295.00
I am of the belief it is a data issue as logically the system cannot choose which calculation to do correclty and which one not to.
Thanks
Niketa

Hi,
currency conversion always happens based on a exchange rate given for a conversion factor (eg 1 unit 'from' currency is converted to 1 unit 'to' currency).
Check this conversion factors in t-code OBBS for the exchange rate type + rate you have entered.
Maybe conversion factor is maintained like TTD to USD is 1:1 whereas USD to TTD is 1:10.

  • Onlybalances on local currency - incorrect foreign currency valuation

    Dear all,
    I have the following problem:
    My customer created some manual accounts and did tick the box for only balances in local currency. Now my customer wanted to do foreign currency valuation on these accounts. I told the customer to make balance zero on account, un-tick "local currency" on GL account master record. And then reverse the document wihich makes the balance zero. This worked fine. But now when the customer wants to do foreign currency valuation (on balances) only new postings after the GL account master data change will be taken into account for balance.
    It must be possible to change this? So that balance in document currency and local currency is correct when comparing to for example line items in fbl3n.
    Very gladful for any help!
    BR Åsa

    Thank you for the information. Just want to make this clear. I did the following. Acoount number is 166000.
    1. Amount in document currency: balance 5000 PLN (debet)
    Amount in local currency: 12000 SEK (debet)
    2. Post a GL account document:
    Credit 12 000 SEK account 166000
    Debet 12000 SEK account 168000 (or any other account).
    3. Un-tick only balances in local currency on GL account master data
    4. Reverse the GL document created in step 2 above.
    5. Test run foreign currency valuation on account 166000 does not show any postings (no balance in other currency).
    Can you please help me with what to do exactly? (GL postings)
    Thank you very much!

  • BusinessObjects Planning (BOP) release 5.4.6 Foreign Currency Calculation

    My BusinessObjects Planning (BOP) release 5.4.6 is currently set up to calculate foreign currency by taking the year-to-date FX average rate (i.e. cumulative). I would like to set it up so that starting from 2015 Fiscal Year, it calculates using the month-to-date FX rate (i.e. decumulative rate). To accomplish this, do I change the planning.ini file? If so, what code do I insert in the planning.ini file.
    Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    HI,
    i have given exchange rate Gain and Loss accounts for the Reconciliation account which is assigned in vendor master in "OB09".
    1. first i tried Reconciliation account and currency INR and gain or loss accounts.
    2. here i tried Reconciliation account and currency MYR and gain or loss accounts.
    I tried separately using the above 2 steps and once again using both 2 steps.
    but it is still showing same error.
    1. do i have to create one reconciliation account giving the currency "MYR" and assign this in Foreign vendor master record?
    Thanks for  replay

  • Incorrect foreign currency balance

    Hi,
    I have created an invoice in THB but paid in USD.  When I view the account balances of MC BP, the LC and SC balances is zero but not FC which has the paid amount in USD.  How can I set FC zero balance?  I try to post a JE having FC only, but an ajdustment will propose in the FX difference calculations. 
    Regards,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    since the BP is a multicurrency BP the FC is irrelevant, the account balance is held in LC. If you post another transaction in another FC, the sum will show '***' since currencies cannot be combined & summarised in a column.
    If you absolutely must adjust the FC, you may do so by following the procedure in SAP Note [909074 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/909074]- How to create a manual journal entry with just SC or FC to create an FC only journal entry.
    You might find SAP Note Note [1163017 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1163017]- How to reconcile a FC only JE for MC BP? helpful as well.
    All the best,

  • FBICR2 - error message about foreign currency calculation

    Hello
    By using FBICR2 an error message pops up saying:
    "Bitte Kurs CHF / 1 Kurstyp M zum 15.08.2008 in der Systemeinstellung eintragen" Meldungsnr. SG105
    What does this error message has to do with FBICR2??
    Kind regards,
    Isabelle

    Hello Isabelle,
    Apparently you somehow posted some entries into your ledger with transaction currency = 1. Or the data record was manipulated later on. I am guessing that you specified CHF to be your display currency. Now FBICR2 is trying to convert the transaction currency amount available with transaction currency 1 to CHF - and obviously cannot find an exchange rate.

  • Outgoing Payments in Foreign Currency

    I am trying to figure out how to correctly post payments and apply the gain/loss to exchange rates.
    LC = USD
    FC = CZK
    I post an AP Invoice for CZK 20,000 in June with an exchange rate of 1 USD = 20 CZK.
    The GL Records the transaction using the above rate as defined in the Rates table.
    Two months later I post an outgoing payment. I paid the vendor in USD. The rate defined in SAP is 1 USD = 19 CZK.
    The vendor, however, uses a rate of 18.90 CZK per USD, therefore, I need to send USD 1058.20 (CZK 20,000 / 18.90)*18.9
    How do I post this transaction? I need to somehow specify that the exchange rate for the payment is different than the exchange rate that is listed in the rates table. If I enter a USD payment of 1058.20 then SAP calculates the CZK 19, not the actual one exchange rate. If I specify payment in CZK then the USD calculation is incorrect.
    I should have a exchange rate loss of USD 58.20 through the transfer. I will also need to post the exchange rate loss between the ap invoice rate and the payment rate. For the second part I found that I can do this through Financials > Exchange rate differences.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello,
    using exchange rate different can be correct for your case if you deal with foreign currency. Meanwhile conversion rate different is for SC and LC different.
    There are some options there in the header to select before perform the different.
    Another things to consider is that there is no unrealized gain/loss G/L account field in the G/L account determination of SAP B1. I think you could use manual journal entry for this one but discuss with your accounting staff first.

  • Report for foreign currency revaluation - FAGL_FC_VAL

    Hello Experts,
    I have executed FAL_FC_VAL - Foreign Currency Revaluation Program. System posted some accounting entry for the same. However, I want to know how system calculated and for which invoices it calculated.
    For this I want a report from SAP, for foreign currency revaluation. Please let me know the TCode for the report.
    I can see some output on screen, showing calculation, during test run. But it does not get saved anywhere.
    Please help

    Hello Ms Meena,
    You can achieve to have this if you are in ECC 6.0 by activating the Logs to be stored.
    This can be done via FAGL_FC_VAL & go to the last tab as below.
    Precondition : Make sure before user run the revaluation they click on both tick mark.
    Click on Logs
    give the date when they it is run & execute
    Select the log
    Here you can select your fields like vendor name/customer name/GL account Name.
    I would strongly suggest to create a variant by yourself & save & then ask the user to change the date to revaluation everymonth.
    Many thanks

  • Issue of Excise Duties in Foreign Currency in J1IIN

    Dear All,
    As one of my user has created Export Excise Invoice on 31st of May.  Unfortunately Exchange Rate was not maintained by him for currency Euro in OB08 and While creating the Excise Invoice all the duties came in EURO but the document currency is INR. Please find below screen shot.
    Now my query is, Is it possible to update/convert these Excise Duty Values in INR without cancelling this document. Because while creating ARE1 all the data are coming in EUR only.
    Regards:
    Abhishek

    Hi,
        Could you please replicate the scenario in Dev / QAS and check whether the excise duties are calculated correctly in J1IIN when the the billing currency is EUR, and OB08 is correctly maintained.
        Repeat the same scenario without maintaining the currency conversion factor in OB08 and compare the excise invoices. Revert back with the results.
        I guess that the issue is not because OB08 was not maintained. Found a similar issue mentioned in the notes:  957377 - Excise base appears in foreign currency in J1IIN for TAXINN  and  936007 - Excise base not converted to INR in J1IIN/J1II for exports You may check the notes if its applicable for your SAP release.

  • Error while running foreign currency valuation program FAGL_FC_VAL

    Incorrect account determination: 1000 10 200010

    in customization, i have assigned P&L and balance sheet account against above GL (OBA1 -> KDF).
    any idea where i am wrong. Please reply.
    regards
    DD

    Hello Devi,
    This account managing with open item? Can you check G/L account master data?
    If yes,
    You should check your customizing OBA1 -> KDF. I think you filled currency and currency type on OBA1-KDF. If you don't have different P&L ve balance sheet adjustment account for each currency and currency type, you can pass initial for this field. ıf you use different balance sheet adj. account or P&L account for each item, you must assign write criteria.
    For example your company code currency is USD and you have a customer reconcilation account which has EUR currency, you should assign EUR currency for this account on OBA1-KDF. Please check in FS00 for this account, exchange rate difference key must be empty if this account managing with open item.

  • Clearing of GL open items F-03 for foreign currency trans

    Hi there,
    I am trying to clear a GL open item managed Bank clearing a/c which has a payment document with foreign currency amount (doc cur) and LC1 and LC2.
    The doc is posted in Aug 08.  When I try to clear it in Sept 08 i see that LC1 and LC2 are showing diff amount from the posted amount.  Since i am using this GL a/c as bank clearing will there be double exchange diff calculated....1) during payment of invoice and 2) during clearing from this Bank clearing a/c to Bank a/c.
    I guess the difference is because of two diff clearing date but is this standard or is there any settings to control this.  Looked through but could not find anything.
    Any of you have any comments on this, please let me know.
    Thank you very much
    RG

    when you clear the open item, the system will pick up the exchange rate mentioned in the tables (Tcode OB08) and the difference in the exchange rate entered in the invoice and the exchange from the tables at the time of payment will  be proposed.
    If you enter the payment document with the same exchange rate you had given at the time of invoicing, there will not be any difference.
    Check you settings in OB08.

  • Material valuation difference in FI and MM area for P.O in foreign Currency

    Seek assistance in solving the following issues related to P.O in foreign currency. Thanks in advance
    1, For purchase orders in foreign currency, during MIGO,in the FI document, the  inventory value which include cost payable to the vendor, taxes, CHA and freight are calculated in foreign currency and the company code currency value is arrived by multiplying the total  inventory value with the exchange rate prevailing in Ob08 on the posting date of MIGO, instead of adding the values of basic price converted to local currency at the rate prevailing on MIGO, Custom duty at the rate prevailing on Customs Miro and Freight CHA etc which are inputted in local currency and converted to P.O currency in P.,O, at the exchange rate in P.O
    The value thus arrived is different from the actual value paid since the freight and CHA are in co code currency in the P.O and converted to P.O currency in P.O with exchange rate prevailing on the date of P.O and Custom duty paid in local currency is at the rate prevailing on Custom MIRO.
    2, Freight and CHA are entered as condtions in the P.O and the values entered in local currency. These are converted to P.O currency by the system at the exchange rate prevailing on the P.O date. During MIGO in the FI document the values for these are arrived by multiplying the value in P.O currency with the exchange rate prevailing on MIGO. for e.g. the CHA lumpsum entered as INR 20,000 is converted to $ 400, assuming the OB08 rate on the date of P.O is 50. if on the date of MIGO OB08 is 60, during MIGO, in the FI document entry for local currency the CHA charges become 24000. ( 400 x 60 ). While the actual amount is 20,000. the same scenario exist for freight too which is entered in local currency.
    WHAT IS HAPPENING
    1. Foreign Vendor - Foreign Currency X OB08 rate on MIGO Posting Date
    2. Freight - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on MIGO  Date
    3. CHA - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on MIGO Date
    4. Customs - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on Actual Customs Payment Date X OB08 rate on MIGO Date
    WHAT IS REQUIRED
    1. Foreign Vendor - Foreign Currency X OB08 rate on MIGO Posting Date
    2. Freight - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on PO Date
    3. CHA - Company Code Currency Converted to Foreign Currency as per OB08 rate on PO Creation Date X OB08 rate on PO Date
    4. Customs - Actual Customs Duty paid in Company Code Currency through Customs MIRO

  • Foreign Currency exchange gain & loss

    Dear expert,
    I have a problem here, need help.
    I have made the setting for foreign exchange gain/loss in OB09 and start to use f-28 for incoming payment.
    When run the simulation, it gives me 2 lines of exchange gain/loss calculation. 1st line with amount zero (local currency) and 2nd line with the gain/loss amount.
    I wonder why I have 2 lines of exchange gain/loss calculation?
    Did I did something wrong or miss some specific setting?
    Thanks in advance. will assign points

    Hi Louis,
    Please note the example below and you will understand why two line items are created:
    Local currency - USD; foreign currency - GBP
    Vendor invoice in foreign currency - 100GBP - Jan (Exchange rate: I GBP=2 USD)
    Feb - You valuated the open item (Exchange rate: 1 GBP = 3 USD) with update principle
    Entry: Unrealised exchange rate Debit 100 USD
              To Special balance sheet account Credit 100 USD
    Payment made in march where the exchange rate is 1 GBP = 3.5 USD
    Entry will be:
    Vendor debit                               200 USD
    Balance sheet account debit        100 USD
    Realised exchange rate loss debit  50 USD
    To bank                                       350 USD
    Are you getting the above entry? If so, then the above scenario will explain your predicament.
    Cheers!

  • Foreign Currency Valuation ..Run.. FAGL_FC_VAL

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on ECC 6.0,
    I am doing FCV run for customers only ( FAGL_FC_VAL) i have also posted couple of customer invoices using foreign currency (USD)  Doc date 15.12.2009, posting date : 15.12.2009, posting period :12...
    I have configured FCV with Exchange rate maintainance, Exchange rate Type, Translation ratio, maintained Accounts and valuation area.
    when i am trying to run FCV i have given valuation key date: 31.12.2009,valuation area: LV,batch input name,  document date 31.12.2009, posting date: 31.12.2009, posting period: 12, reversal posting period : 01.01.2010, reversal posting period: 1, checked create postings, valuate custmer open items and i have given customer account
    when i do execution (f8) in amount posted column its showing zero (there is no exchange rate calculated)
    can anyone tell why its not posted the difference amount, how to reveal this issue.
    Thanks in advance'
    Jerry

    Hi,
    The reason is, there is no differences in the exchange rates, that is why system showing 0(Zero). Try to post the different exchange rate on 31.12.2009, then you can find the differences in FCV.
