KDm exchange rate key

Hi All,
I have created a PO where I have changed the currency from EUR to USD at the header level and fixed a different exchange rate than existing in the system (system rate is 1.5 and I have fixed it at 1.25). Indicator "Exch. rate fixed" has been ticked in the PO.
Now when I post the GR I expect the difference to go to key KDM in account determination, but it doesn't. All the difference goes to price variance PRD. My material is valuated by standard price.
Is this standard or am I missing something here?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
KDM is debited with the exchange rate.
And the same, balanced with the price difference account PRD because of price change.
it is normally happens in import procurements.
for ex:
your std price is 100 USD
but you changed it to 90 USD.
Now, KDM is debited for 90 USD because you changed the price in PO.
But your std price is 100 USD, So PRD will be updated for the balance 10 USD.

Exchange rate difference KDM in MIRO - cost center used

We have recently testing to setup KDM Exchange rate difference posting in LIV and encounter the problem of cost center cannot be determine for PO with account assignment A (For asset) and P (for Project).
The question is how does the system determine the cost center for the exchange rate different account? It doesn't take the default cost center from the configuration in OKB9 but extract the cost center from PO Account Assignment - for Asset Account assignment, there is no cost center in PO and thus it is giving a error of 'Field Cost Ctr is a required field....'
Any help appreciated.

Dear Murali: Yes, GL account is maintained in OBYC for KDM transaction, I am following the OSS note 980402 for the setup (ECC6 system). The GL account say is 60000005. In OB09, we have maintained the entry for this account 60000005 to have a default cost center (e.g. 1000). This cost center does not get defaulted when MIRO posting is done with exchange rate difference. Instead, the cost center is obtained from the PO (e.g. the account assignment in PO have cost center 5000). But for certain account assignment (e.g. 'P' for WBS and 'A' for Asset), there is no cost center maintained in PO account assignment and thus in MIRO i get an error message as mentioned above.
Dear SAPFICO: check the asset master also, althrough there is a cost center in Asset Master, it does not get extracted into MIRO postings.

Exchange rate differences for open items (KDM)
Exchange rate differences for open items occur when an invoice and a goods receipt for a purchase order are posted at different exchange rates and the material cannot be debited or credited due to standard price control or stock shortage.
Price differences (PRD)
Price differences occur for materials subject to standard price control for all movements and invoices valuated at a price other than the standard price. Examples: goods receipts for purchase orders when the purchase order price differs from the standard price; goods issues when an amount is entered manually; invoices when the price invoiced differs from both the purchase order price and standard price.
Price differences can also occur for invoices for materials with a moving average price when there is insufficient stock coverage for the quantity invoiced.
Depending on the settings for the posting logic for the processing key PRD, you can work with or without account grouping. If you work with account grouping, the following are used in the standard system:
None for goods and invoice receipts for purchase orders
PRF for goods receipts for production orders and
order settlement
PRA for goods issues and other movements
PRU for transfer postings (price differences for external amounts)

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 problem between GR&IR for PO with account assignment category

ear SAP experts.
We have used expense puchase order through account assignment category.
the cost object include cost center,sale order,order.because we dont use Fixed assets module in SAP,when purchase fixed assets,we also use account assignment category but no need to fill assets number(Not use account assignment category A).
the processing in current system when there is exchange rate difference between GR&IR as follows.
purchase order Currency :USD company code currency:HKD
example 1-- when something purchased into expense account,
Good receipt (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :expense account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR        100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt
Dr : GR/IR         100USD    775HKD
    Expense account            25HKD
CR: Vendor        100USD    800HKD
Example 2-- when something purchased into Fixed assets account,
purchase order :USD company code currency:HKD
Good receipt on Oct .01. 2007 (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :Fixed assets account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR           100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt on Dec.01.2007 (1USD= 8HKD)
Dr: GR/IR              100USD     775HKD
   Fixed assets account                25HKD
Cr: Vendor            100USD     780HKD
The fixed assets is depreciated from Nov,2007.
There is one problem that after the fixed assets is depreciated, the value for the fixed assets is added , the finance clerk have to adjust the added value from fixed assets account to Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account by manual.
Our problem is
How to configure in order to make the exchage rate difference into Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account for purchase order with account assignment category,not the original assigned account in purchase order item.
Many thanks
Fanny

Hi Fanny
Even though the question is bit unclear, I guess you are looking for the T-Code OBYC. Use transaction key KDM for configuring the exchange gain/loss

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!

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.

Exchange Rate difference account-

Hi All,
Please help me to find a solution for the scenario below.
Business process is third party PO scenario where the vendor currency(USD) is different from ccode currency.
Material is valuated at 30 EUR.
PO is made with the vendor at Rs.51.60 USD.(Exchange rate is not fixed at header level in PO)
GR is made at 51.60 USD
While doing IR,the exchange rate has changed from 1.290 to 1.395.
What configuration should be done for the system to post to Exchange rate difference account(transaction key KDM)..
(As of now the difference in price is posted to the consumption account,Which was already hit during GR).
Regards,
Deepak.

HI DEEPAK,
If Price control maintained in Material master is " V " then, at MIRO,
1. exchange rate diff. will be posted to stock account if available stock qty is >= invoice quantity
2. exchange rate diff. will be posted to exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is 0
3. exchange rate diff. will be posted propotionately to stock account and exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is < invoice quantity
If Price control maintained in Material master is " S " then, at MIRO,
1. exchange rate diff. will be posted exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) i.e. irrespective of stock availability.
pls, check and revert back
Regards,
jay

Exchange rate difference in GR & IR

Hi experts,
      I am using " V" price control for imported goods. Many times exchange rate at the time of IR is different from GR.
     So, while posting vendor invoice (i.e. MIRO) exchange rate difference is posted to Exchange rate diff A/C (KDM account) only if stock quantity (book inventory quantity) is smaller than IR quantity or "zero". Otherwise this exchange difference is posted to "stock account" (if stock is available).
    At the time of MIRO, I want every exchage rate difference to be posted to Exchange rate diff a/c (KDM account) regardless of stock quantity and price procedure (V or S).
How to do this? Pls help me out. Thanks in advance
regards
jai

Hi,
When an invoice relating to a purchase order is posted with a different exchange rate to that of the goods receipt exchange rate; the differences arisen for the open items will be posted to the transaction/ event key 'KDM' in the case of Standard price control "S" automatically.
And, incase of Moving Average Price control "V", you need to take care that stock is undercoverage/shortage, to trigger KDM.

Narayana.
