Nonleading ledgers and foreign currency valuation

HI all,
we are in ecc 6.0 and using new gl.
Do you need to carry our foreign currency valuation in no leading ledgers as well
if you have any .and this non leading ledger is used as there is a company code in foreign
country.???
any inputs are welcome please.
Thanks,
Sai.

What is the need for parallel ledger in the new GL concept?
There are up to 4currencies available within the Leading Ledger:
Transaction currency
Company code/local currency
Up to two parallel reporting currencies as assigned in FI
The strategy with regard to the technical mapping of parallel financial reporting (parallel ledgers in general ledger, account solution, company code solution) is that the your requirements determine whether parallel general ledgers or the account solution is more appropriate with only one leading general ledger. There could significant disadvantages caused by the high proportion of manual postings.

Regrouping , Foreign currency valuation

Hi All,
Can anyone explain the use of regrouping(F101) and foreign currency valuation (F.05) ?

Hi Manisha,
Please find below mentioned the functionality of the reports.
F.101-This report groups the receivables and payables according to a required
list, for example, the "EU Guideline No. 4", and carries out transfer
postings.
Additional adjustment postings are necessary in the following cases:
o   Customers with credit balances and vendors with debit balances
o   Changed reconciliation accounts or partner (affiliated company)
o   Display of investments
All accounts that are managed on an open item basis are taken into
account.
Sorting of items:The decision as to whether an account is sorted according to receivables or payables depends on the financial statement value of an account. This is the balance of the account per reconciliation account and remaining
life. If several accounts are connected by the same trading partner, the joint financial statement value of the account group created determines
the type of sorting. If the balance is positive, the account is sorted
according to receivables, if the balance is negative, the account is
sorted according to payables. You define the sort methods required in
Customizing.Alternatively, several accounts can be summarized in a group whose joint balance is used for sorting. The definition for the corporate group is
used as group definition for customers and vendors. For G/L accounts,
there is a separate field in the G/L account master record.
For credit memos with an invoice reference, the due dates are taken from
the invoice.Vendors with debit balances and customers with credit balances are
determined separately for each point in the sorted list, since only
items with virtually the same remaining life may be balanced with each
other.
The documents are totaled under the current reconciliation account of
the customer or vendor master record. If the reconciliation account is
changed, the amounts are transferred from the old reconciliation account to the new reconciliation account.
Investments: In some countries (for example, France), investments must be displayed separately. You use parameters to select this additional display. The
investments are then displayed as a total per reconciliation account and
transferred.
Postings
For every transfer posting created, a reverse posting is also entered in
the session. For reconciliation accounts in the customer or vendor area,
postings are also made to an adjustment account.
If you use a target company code, all items are summarized under the
target company code and then processed. The company codes selected must
be managed in the same currency however (for example, local currency,
group currency).
If you use an alternative valuation area, account determination for the
transfer posting is carried out from the valuation area selected.
==========================================================
F.05- This program carries out the foreign currency valuation.
The following items/accounts are valuated:
o   Open items
o   Foreign currency balance sheet accounts. This means G/L accounts
    that are managed in a foreign currency.
You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
o   You can carry out the valuation in local currency or a parallel   local currency (for example, group currency).
You can use different valuation methods (for example, HGB or US
GAAP).
e result of the valuations can be stored per valuated document and
sted to adjustment accounts and P&L accounts.
ation process
lection
Open items:
The customer, vendor, and G/L account open items on the key date a
read and balanced by account or group and currency.
G/L account balances:
Reconciliation accounts and accounts managed on an open item basis
are not valuated. P&L accounts are only valuated as required: See
also: "FASB 52 Translation".
Grouping
The documents or balances are balanced by currency and account (or
group/valuation group). The exchange rate type for the valuation is
determined from this balance.
Valuation
o   Open items:
    The items that are untranslated at the key date are summarized per
    invoice reference or account/group.
    If the result does not correspond to the method selected, for
    example, if a profit arises using the lowest value principle, no
    valuation difference is output.
o   G/L account balances:
    The balance is translated per currency and account/group on the key
    date. The valuation difference determined is compared with the
    valuation method specified (for example, lowest value principle).
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Foreign currency valuation (new) for vendors and costumers open items

Dear friends,
Is there any option that when i run the foreign currency valuation program (fagl_fc_val) for vendors and costumers open line items not to generate the reverse posting? I have read in the sap library that the reverse posting is optional and the when you pay the invoice the system works the difference out between the valuation and the exchange rate of the payment, but i can not find it in customizing.
thanks in advance
marc

I also like to add that it is best to post reversal because normally the revaluation entry is posted on the last date of the month and the reversal entry is posted on the first day of the following month, which means that the following month will have a new entry on the last date independent of the entry made in the prior month.
The idea of posting the valuation entry is to value the customer and vendor open items which were posted (let us say 3 months ago in a foreign currency) with the latest exchange rate as of the end of the month. This way these payables and receivables stand corrected.
Is there any reason why you don't want to post the reversal entry?

Create items by vendor and customer on Foreign Currency Valuation

When we execute Foreign Currency Valuation, we would like to create items in a document by vendor and customer.
Can we handle it a 'Corp.group-vendors' flag(Evaluate Accounts According to Group Definition) ?
Can you help with this issue please?
Thanks,
Sato.Ishikawa

HI,
With the report SAPF100, you will be able to valuate foreign currencies
from customer and vendor accounts.
It is not possible to post a foreign currency valuation directly to a
vendor or customer account. This is only possible for g/l accounts.
You can refer to the following workarounds:
From the technical point of view you can use FB01 to post such a posting
You have to enter a exchange rate manually in the first screen. In this
case this exchange rate is used instead of the exhange rate of table
TCURR (transaction OB08).
You have to choose a exchange rate which transfer the amount in local
currency to 0,00 in foreign currency.Another possibility is to use
RFBIBL00 in transfer type direct input for FB01.An amount of 0 in
foreign currency should work.
The system is designed not to post documents with 0 amount in foreign
currency to vendors/customers.

Post foreign currency valuation for special G/L accounts

Dear experts,
Our client wants to evaluate the balance of down payment account after each partial clearing with invoice.As down payments are being posted by special G/L indicators, they are not able to post to the down payment account directly.
and there is no possibility to post foreign currency valuation by SG/L indicators in F-05 and FBB1 transaction codes.
Could you please tell me how we can evaluate a SG/L account directly?
Best Regards,

Hi Rezvan,
That is not possible also this is not required.
Because unrealized gain/loss we post to Balance sheet adjustment account and Fx gain/loss accounts.
We don't post any differences directly to sub ledgers.
you can use F.05 or FAGL_FC_VAL trasanction for Foreign currency valuation.
where you can have option of valuate the Spl GL too in selection screen.
Also
When you select Vendor option in FAGL_FC_VAL, program valuates all the line items including special gl items.
And this valuation difference can be posted to balance sheet adjustment account which you maintain in OB09.

Atul

Foreign currency valuation for GR/IR clearing account is repeatedly posting

While executing foreign currency valuation (program SAPF100) through T code F.05 the following fields are selected for the spotted rate valuation for currency type 10.
A)     Valuate G/L account open items
B)     Evaluate GR/IR account (GR/IR clearing account is selected)
C)     Valuate customer open items
After execution the valuation postings are repeated in GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adj account while the postings in other accounts occur only once.
GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adjustment account is configured in OB09 for GR/IR account for respective currency type and local currency.
What could be the reason for repeated postings in FC valuation account?

I think there is some issue with the process, normally vendor/customer reconciliation account or some liability assets related account which has impact due to foreign currency rate changes needs to be revaluated. I don't understand why you have set up foreign currency valuation for GR/IR account, these are intermediatory account which reflects in system between for example GR and IR.
I also think that you need more information on foreign currency valuation, basically it happens on a particular key date and gets reversed on key date + 1, because revaluation is only required on a key date for reporting purposes. on the next day it get reversed and actual loss or profit on foreign currency only gets booked on realization.
Hope this helps!!!

Error when using automatic clearing (F.13)with foreign currency valuation.

Hello all
below is our problem, please suggest us a solution
We are experiencing a problem when running the automatic clearing in SAP. Somehow, the system seems to clear (with no reason) open items created with the revaluation of foreign currency.
Let's say that we run the valuation of open items in foreign currency for December 31, and we run the program to post the reverse entry as of January 1 of the next year. As a result of this valuation, the system calculates a loss of 10 euros. Therefore, it posts a document with a debit entry of 10 into the Loss account, and a credit of 10 in to account where the valuation was carried out. This document has a posting date of December 31. The batch program also creates the reversing entry, this time a credit entry into the Loss account, and a debit into the original account.
If now, we try to run the automatic clearing (F,13) on December 31 for those accounts, the system will create (automatically) a document on December 31, similar to the reversing entry that the valuation created, clearing at the same time, the first document that the valuation originally created.
The final result then is that the valuation makes a posting, and we end up having two reversing entries. Does it make sense?
In our scenario in the system P70, for MX10, we have a foreign currency valuation run on December 31st, which posted the document numbers:
1) 5100004579/2008, for a total of 0 euros, and 240,483.17 MXN. Credit to account 11081108 Finavigate cash receipt bank collect.CMG MXN.Debit to account 18601000 Losses f.foreign curr.valuation on financial trans
2) In the same batch, the system also books a reversing entry (doc 5100000042/2009) with posting date 01.01.2009 with exactly the same opposite entries as in the previous document.
3) After this, we run the automatic clearing with posting date 31.12.2008, and now, the system creates automatically the document 5000003236/2008, which clear the original document, 5100004579.
The final result, as you can see, it's out of balance, there is an additional document that we need to reverse.
Thanks in advance
sujatha

To my knowledge you get do two things:
1. In F.13 transaction don't include both the GL accounts where the Dr. and Cr. posting from the valuation run have taken place. With this the system won't find the matching entry.
2. If you want to use all the GL accounts in F.13, then check the clearing procedure configuration and make suitable changes.
With the info provided, this is the only thing I can suggest.

Error while running foreign currency valuation program FAGL_FC_VAL

Hi
this is regarding foreign currency valuation in ECC6.0 with EHP4
i have done the revevent setting in spro and while execturing TC FAGL_FC_VAL agetting following error:-
Incorrect account determination: 1000 10 200010
Message no. FR257
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.

Hi Mike,
Reset the Foreign currency valuation run? I am not sure about your suggestion. Does it means that I just key in the "reversal posting date" and "reverse post.peried" and don't key in "Document date","Posting date" and "Posting period",it is right? And then how to check the document being reset or not? (Just check if there have the document or not,when test run.)
Or I need to select a reset valuation method?
Thanks,

Foreign Currency Valuation Values Conversion

Hello SAP Experts!
We are migrating from 4.6B to 4.7 and we are working in the vendor, customer and G/L accounts open items conversion.
In the present system (4.6B) the users use transaction F.05 for foreign
currency valuation with the flag "Bal. sheet preparation valuatn" activated. This means, that the valuation difference is not reversed
but it is stores in the field BSEG-BDIFF of the affected open item.
Now we are trying to convert those foreign currency open items with a
batch input to transaction FB01. However, the fields BSEG-BDIFF do not appear in the dynpros and we could not find a way to make them optional to enter the value of previous revaluations.
We have thought of transaction F-05, but there is no way there to reference the revaluation that is being posted to the affected open item. T
If we do not enter this amount in that field we will have problems
after the go live to pay those items, as the "Bal. sheet adj. 1"
account balance will never be zero and the gain/loss accounts for exchange rate difference will be duplicated.
Do anyone know how can this be done?
Hope you can help me on this one.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards!
Noelia

Hi Dominic!!
Thanks a lot for your answer. Yes, they are separate systems
Let me see if I understand your suggestion:
1) I should do a manual posting through F-05 in our 4.6B system bringing the balance adjustment account and the exchange rate difference account to zero.
2) Transfer the balances to 4.7.
3) In the first closing period run the automatic foreign currency valuation
(through F-05) with the flag "Bal. sheet preparation valuatn" deactivated so that the system revaluates the open items from the time the open item is created to that moment.
is it like that?
Many thanks for your help again!
Best regards,
Noelia

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!

Foreign Currency Valuation not posted to GL account

Hi,
While I run foreign currency valuation even tick on check box of Create Posting button under FAGL_FC_VAL it show me summary report and posting tab it show me properly Debit/Credit entry on last day of month and 1st of month it become reverse as usual. But while I go through respective GL account of "Forex Unrealised Profit" and " Foreign Exchange Adjustment" account in FBL3N it does not show me line ietms result after running foreign curreny valuation. It should show the result in respective GL accounts where line items are tick in each GL accounts and valuation method I use EVR(always valuate). Why it is happening ?
Best Regards,
Anindita

Hi,
After executing FAGL_FC_VAL, do you execute Batch Input Session in SM35. If no then
When you execute FAGL_FC_VAL you will find the field called Batch Input Session name where you have to give a name for e.g. FOREXVAL. Once you execute it then system creates Batch Input Session in SM35. So go to SM35 and select the session FOREXVAL and click on Process icon seen on the top and select Display errors only and press ok.
