  • Local Currency Changeover - Implications

    Hi,
    A company code has the local currency now as USD but it wants to change the local currency to South African Rand.
    What are the steps for making this currency changeover from USD to SA Rand?
    What are the repercussions/implications if the local currency is changed?
    What are the preparations required prior to local currency changeover?
    Have any of you worked in such a scenario? What the pit-falls to watch for?
    Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sanjay,
    It is a big question. One that can be answered only after a careful analysis. I will suggest you to get a good understanding of what needs to be done.
    Are you prepared to start a new company code / chart of accounts and import open items & balances as on a cut off date?
    If yes, I will suggest to create a new client & perform that exercise else only SAP technical team can help you.
    Kindly reply for further clarifications. Award points if the answer was helpful.
    Regards,

  • Local Currency Changeover in Hungary - Effort Estimation

    My customer is planning to migrate currency from HUF to EURO.  Due to the legal requirements, EURO should be effective as of Jan 1st, 2016. 1. I am wondering how much efforts will be required to implement this?  One month?  Two months? 2. Looking at SAP Help documentation, it looks like it changes all the historical financial documents also.  Is it required by the law?  Or is it possible to add an local currency (Group Currency, or Hard Currency type for example), and display EURO starting from Jan 1st, 2016? 3. Local Currency Changeover functionality - Does it impact all the Companies in the same Client?  I don't believe so, but I would like someone to confirm. 4. In addition to SAP Help document, is there anyone who can share documents created from the real project? Thanks, Sungyun

  • Parallel currencies - alternative to local currency changeover to euro??

    I would like to know if there are any alternatives to local currency changeover to euro?
    Estonia will start using euro 1 January 2011 and we are helping an estonian company investigating alternativs to the euro changeover in SAP. I know that SAP has programs that can mange the conversion/changeover, but I would like to know the alternatives.
    The company uses 2 parallel currencies today. The company code currency EEK (10) is the first local currency, the group currency (SEK) is the second local currency.
    Is is possible to use the functionality of parallel currencies in OB22 in this case and set the EUR as hard currency (currency type 40)? Can this be done for a company already in production? Will we be able to see profit- and loss statements and balance sheets from day 1 after we have activated the new currency. Any problems with opens items?
    Are the any other alternatives?
    Could one stategy be to start at new company code with EUR as company code currency? I realize we have to copy the configuration and masterdata and transfer the balaces to the new company code. What other problems do you see with this alternative?

    Hi Paul,
    There is no dual currency phase, I mean not in SAP (there is a mandatory dual pricing period from july 2008 to december 2009).
    As of 01.01.2009, SKK will be replaced by EUR.
    The swithover can be carried out as soon as the 2008 fiscal year books closing will be done in SAP.
    Hope this helps.

  • Currency changeover

    Hi All,
    we are planning for local currency changeover to EUR.In our scenario, the operating concern currency is EUR and the company code currency is LVL.So during changeover the company code currency will change. I would like to know if there is any impact on operating concern currency or it will be left untouched.
    Appreciate quick response.
    Thanks

    Have a look to SAP note's there is one for Currency changeover for Slovakia.
    In config you have to follow the steps to do this, there you found documentation what to do: (Cross-Application Components / European Monetary Union: Euro)
    For testing you need to have a copy from your production system and to do there 1 ore more tests.  When you have errors in the conversion  then you solve it in the prodcuction system make a new copy and start again testing in your test system.
    How many work it is is dependend from the quality from your date in your system and the moduls you are using.
    In our system we started on 01-01-2009 to use in documents only EURO'S.  (was only not possible for asset accounting) and in July we did the data base conversion.
    2 Months is possible I think but it is a lot of work.
    I don't understand the reason way you start now with this, we started already last year in July with the preparation.

  • Balance on local currency

    Hi ,
    In FS00 in control data Tab ,Balance in local currency and Open item managment , What is purpose of this and what happens if we tick what happens if we dont tick that
    regards,
    Santosh kumar

    Hi
    Use
    The local currency amounts in FI and TR-TM-SE are converted independently of each other. Since the local currency amounts are converted at different summarization levels (at flow level in TR-TM-SE, for the document or account transaction figures in FI), there may be rounding differences when you compare TR-LO and FI resulting from the local currency changeover.
    In FI documents, the system clears any difference between the debit and credit sides after the local currency changeover by means of an additional posting item. This posting item does not exist in TR-TM-SE. This may lead to different balances in TR-TM-SE and FI.

  • Currency changeover for Slovakia

    Hi All,
    Will anyone be able to guide me what all steps have to be followed to take up my new project for Currency changeover to EURO(for Slovakia).
    Slovakia has entered the European union effective 1st Jan'2009. With this the local currency has to be changed to EURO.
    As per the Slovak government, local currency should appear in all documents for another 2 months from now.
    I have been able to find a couple of notes released by SAP for the same.
    Also, I could see that SAP is selling a package for such kind of chageovers.
    will it be ok to go with the implementation of notes or will it be required to buy such package.
    In either cases, may I know what all steps will be covered in this project.
    Your tips and experienced answers may enable me to work on the project much efficiently.
    Thanks & regards

  • Amount in local currency for GRs

    Hello gurus,
    can anyone please explain to me this phenomenon:
    We have got a PO for 10 pieces of a material. The price is $7,40 per 10 pieces, so $7,40 total.
    Someone posted a goods receipt for 7 pieces. For whatever reason the amount in local currency (Amount in LC) for that GR is $6,17.
    Later, this GR was reversed using movement type 122 and a new GR for 10 pieces was posted. This time, the Amount in LC is $15,66.
    Can someone please explain to me where those values come from? I cannot change the price in MIGO, can I? And if I cannot, how does the system calculate those values?
    The problem is that now there is a difference between GR and invoice (correct price = $ 7,73)...
    Thanks
    Alicia

    Hi
    The problem is due to non sequential operation.
    Generally,
    Step 1: When GR is done after P.O , system will pick the price of P.O and Post.
    Inventory (Dr)  and GR/IR ( Cr.)
    Step 2 : If the IR is done after P.O and latter GR, then IR price take precedence over the P.O price.
    Step 3 : If there is no stock and Partial IR is done after P.O , tehn while GR system will take partial value from P.O and Partial from P.O
    In this case.
    PO: 10 pcs., $7,40 : Unit Price is .74$
    GR (101): 7 pcs., $6,17 (incl. VAT) : Base Price 5.18 + 0.99 = 6.17$
    GR (122): -7 pcs., $6,17 (goods return)
    Till now it is o.k
    Now : IR: 1 pc., $ 7,73 (wrong IR, 1 pc instead of 10) : Unit price is 7.73$.
    GR (101): 10 pcs., = 1 pc. price from IR ( 7.73) + 9*(.86) = 15.47$
    *0.86 : refers to the P.O value inclusive of Tax ( assuming the Tax as 16.04)
    The problem in such cases is due to in appropriate GR/IR entry .
    Solution : Always Can cell all the documents last come first basis then post the document one by one.
    Solution 2 : Do clear the GR/IR account through Manual JV from FI module and Change the price by MR21 entry.

  • Change of local currency amount in park document

    Dear SAP Experts,
    I have some queries regarding the local currency in parked document.
    Here are the steps to generate the issues:
    1. Enter vendor invoice using FB01 tcode. E.g the company code currency is MYR, then change the document currency to USD.  Maintain both debit and credit leg for the document. Please enter more than one expense account with different amount at debit side.
    Enter the amount in document currency (in this example is USD) field and enter. System will populate the local curreny (in this case is MYR) based on the table currenct updated in the system.
    At this point, the local currency (MYR) need to be changed based on user's requirement. In this case,they will be some deviation of currency rate since user has manually entered the desired amount for local currency.
    2. Park the document once finished.
    3.Goto transaction FBV0 and open the parked document.
    4. You can see the ammended local currency amount still populated correctly in local currency field.
    5. Post parked document.
    6. Display the document posted and see that the local currency amount has been changed to the amount based on table rate in system.
    Queries:
    a. Is there any way to make sure that the ammended amount would not be changed after the document has been parked and then get posted? Please be informed that this scenario would not happened if the document is directly being posted without parked.
    b. If the exchange rate at document header is being changed based on the desired amount of local currency, this would not be an issue. Since the requirement is only to change the local currency amount at GL level and not at Vendor line item. But at the end the total ammended amount at GL level has to be equal to the vendor total amount. how to resolve this issue? Can standard SAP process/configuration can catered this scenarios..?
    Thanks a lot for you help.
    Your kind cooperation is highly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Yuzeila

    Hi SAP experts ,
    My situation is the same - to park GL documents by uploading from a file  and then edit the local currency amount if necessary.
    However in my case we have an excel sheet generated from an external system and our users want to upload them and park all the journals  at a single time.
    We are using RFBIBl0 direct input program to upload the file and park then transaction using FBV1.  Alll the documents are parked with the data  as in the excel sheet. 
    Next step is that the users go to FBV0 to edit the parked documents and sometimes it is required to change the local currency based on the current exchange rate and then post the journal  .
    However when the parked documents are edited using FBV0 the local currency amount entered by the user is ignored and the system still  overwrites it with  the system calculated amount .
    b. As per your suggestion - I cannot use FV60 using direct input program as FV60 transaction is not supported.
    Please can you suggest if there is any way to park the Gl documents in background  from a file  and then edit the parked documents as required i.e change amounts and other fields.
    You help is much appretiated.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • 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!

  • Payment Wizard: BP "All Currency" but payments always in Local Currency

    Hello!

  • What to do when an entity starts using EURO instead of Local Currency (not

    What do you do when an entity which is using one of the local currencies out there (not EURO) is going to use EURO as their Local Currency soon?
    For example: what do you do when you have an entity in a non EURO country but will soon start using EURO? For this purpose you can take a company located in Estonia which has reported in their local currency till today and will report in their local currency until the end of 2010 but starting from 1/1/2011 they will start reporting in EURO. What do you do in such cases?
    Do you create a new entity (with similar code) for that entity so the old one stays in LC for archive purposes and the new one is used as of 1/1/2011 or do you do something else? What is the best practice?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    You have the answer in the following forum thread:
    Re: Changing Currency of one Company
    The best way is in fact to create a new entity and then operate all steps mentioned in this thread.
    Not very complicated, but you should test that on your test environment first, or at least backup all your records, in order to safe-guard the process.
    Hope this will help.
    Kind Regards,
    Patrick
