OBY6 no forex clearing in local currency when LC2 used also

Hi folks,
I know this is a long shot that anyone can help but here goes..
Our site has local currency BOB and an additional local currency (local currency 2) USD.
So we usually get 2 local currency amounts in documents, a BOB amount and a USD amount.
When clearing in local currency BOB we are getting a lot of exchange rate difference postings for documents that are in foreign currency. We want to stop the exchange rate difference postings when we clear in local currency BOB, as it is not necessary to post a difference for clearing.
The setting in OBY6 for this is tick box "no forex rate diff. when clearing LC"
However even when this is ticked in OBY6 I STILL get the gain/loss exchange rate postings when for example a EUR document is cleared using the local currency amount in BOB. I am sure I have seen this setting work before, but not with an additional LC2. Maybe the LC2 being USD means that this setting can no longer work? We are on 4.7.
Thanks all

Got an answer from SAP on this issue
Please be informed that
OBY6 "no forex rate diff. when clearing in LC": please regard the
documenatition. The flag is only relevant for the local currency (= 1st
local currency). In your case the 2nd local currency is concerned. That
is the reason exchange rate difference items were generated for hard
currency.
So if you use a second currency forget using the OBY6 setting, you have to 'disregard the documentation'. You can never stop the exchange rate difference posting because either LC or LC2 will find a difference if the rate differs on clearing.

How to clear cumulative local currency balance of foreign currency Bank a/c

Hi,
We are facing a problem with the foreign currency Bank account from which we make payment in foreign currency but when we see the balance in local currency there is a difference.
e.g Local Currency RMB Bank Account Currency USD
Current Balance in Bank Account 1000 USD RMB rate 0.275 Balance in Local currency 275
We make a payment of 1000 USD at that time rate is 0.270 Payment in local currency i.e. 270
When we display of GL Balance of Bank account it is showing 0 balance but balance in RMB still showing 5 KWD which is not correct as we dont have any balance in USD. How to avoid this situation.
Regards,
Nirmala S.

You have to configure realized and unrealized exchange rate gain/loss accounts in transaction code OB09 for all your foreign currency balance sheet accounts. Once this configuration is done, you have to perform foreign currency valuation (F.05 or FAGL_FC_VAL) to clear the balance in local currency and post it to unrealized exch. rate gain/loss accounts configured in OB09 above.

Only take local currency when loading

I am trying to load a transaction data from ECC, which include both USD and LC for each account,, the file is like following:
account, entity, time, rptcurrency, category,Datasrc,Intco,amount
100001, sale1, 2008,feb,LC,actual,input,19250
100001, sale1, 2008,feb,USD,actual,input,19250
100002, sale1, 2008,feb,LC,actual,input,19250
100002, sale1, 2008,feb,USD,actual,input,19250
100003, sale1, 2008,feb,LC,actual,input,19250
100003, sale1, 2008,feb,USD,actual,input,19250
When I run the package, the system accept only LC record, reject trhe USD record with error message"it is calculated member:USD".
Is BPC only allow to load local currency?

Hi JW-
I rechecked the BPC70, NW SP03 functionality and ran a quick load test myself....I had no problem in loading records with LC or USD in an appset that was a copy of Apshell.
I do note that the data set you replicated in your initial message shows the time dimension with an incorrect format (there is a comma between the YYYY and MMM instead of a period). I am assuming this is just a typo, if not please correct and rerun Data Manager Package.
There are two probable reasons for the error message received:
1. You have a dimension member formula on USD, or
2. You have a hierarchy associated with USD as a parent
Any of these present in your design?

Clearing in local currency

Hi,
I have following situation: a bank account and a customer account, document posted in foreign currency (EUR). Exchange rate differences were posted in this document.
Then they realized that wrong bank account was used. In order not to reverse a document with many lines they took the bank amount and reclasified it to the correct bank account, keeping the same local (USD)/foreign currency *EUR amount.
When they want to clear these documents on bank account exchange rate differences appear again, although the reclasification was done keeping the same amounts.
What could be the reason of this exchange rate differences?
thanks

Any ideas here?
Both documents are posted in EUR ( foreign currency) and I am trying to clear them in EUR but also in USD and the result is the same: exchange rate differences appear although all dates are same in all documents including the clearing date.
Where from are these differences then coming?
Thanks,

Hi ! when to use @Local and when to use @Remote?

Hello,
Say suppose i want to develop a multi tiered web application with presentation on 1 server, business logic on 1 server and database on 1 server, thus 3 servers altogether. But my all beans reside on single server ie 2nd server, so should i mark my beans as @Remote? or @Local? because my presentation is on 1st server and it will call bean on 2nd server. So, different JVM altogether.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you have to give any advise that is not related to the question?Why to get side track? If you know the answer and if you have time then answer it else wait and watch, you will learn something from other people's experience. Let others come and answer. But kindly don't teach me philosophy like read books and you will find answer there and this and that. If it was clear to me why do you think i would ask question and waste your as well as my time? I come from .Net and things in JEE are very different.
This is a place to share knowledge and let others grow. I was just trying to self teach me reading tutorials here and there and asked question because it was not clear from the tutorial. Now, i know due to you nobody will come in this thread and answer this question.
Thanks

CSS giving different results when defined locally, and when defined using an include file.

In my experimental photo album page I originally defined the
styles in a
separate .CSS file. However this appeared to be incompatible
with the
requirement to have the session_start (); statement at the
start of the file, so
I then defined the styles locally. Now I have found that a
style which gives
padding to the right of an image no longer works in IE6,
although Dreamweaver
shows the expected result.
I have made two very simple test files to demonstrate this:
http://localhost/Corybas/Cydalba/Test/Test_page_8[1
http://localhost/Corybas/Cydalba/Test/Test_page_8[2
In Test_page_8[1].htm styles are defined by the include file
../Spl2.ccs, which
is included using the following statement in the head:
<link href="../Spl2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
The include file reads:
/* Test.css for Cydalba project */
.img_left { float:left; border:none; padding-left:0;
padding-bottom:0;
padding-top:0; padding-right:10px; }
p { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color:
#f00000;
margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; border: 0; }
In Test_page_8[2].htm styles are defined locally, using the
following lines at
the start of file:
<style type="text/css">
/* Test.css for Cydalba project */
.img_left { float:left; border:none; padding-left:0;
padding-bottom:0;
padding-top:0; padding-right:10px; }
p { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color:
#f00000;
margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; border: 0; }
</style>
With IE6 Test_page_8[1] gives the expected padding between
the images and the
adjacent text, but Test_page_8[2] does not. The para
definition appears to work
correctly in both cases.
Can anyone explain this?

Hi Rob,
I am making a wild guess here...the reason could be that the internal tables or variables declared as part of Global data (if any) must be refreshed in your FM code.

Clearing PERSK and PERSG when copying using PBA7

Hi All,
I am currently working within HR (background in CRM) and have a requirement to clear down the values for Employee group and subgroup so that a change of position does not have the old values defaulted (the new values will be deived in the screen).
I have looked at the user exit EXIT_SAPFP50M_001 and added my own coding to include ZXPADU01 to try to clear the variables down, but (as the structures that contain them are import parameters) they are not being cleared.
The values in innnn are for infotype 0000 and do not reflect the values I require.
Have also looked into the HRPAD00INFTY BADI to provide a solution for this but the same appears to be the case.
Isn there some way of reading and clearing the global variables within the user exit or the BADI.. I can clear the values down in table pspar within MP000020 and this does provide me with the solution I am after but, obviously, I need to do this in a customer enhancement/exit.
Also had no luck searching these forums for an answer (specifically for my requirements) either.
Many Thanks in advance
Gary Hawkins

Hi,
Say you have hired a employee with position 9000001, pa -0001,psa-1001,eg-01,esg-n7.
Next, you are hiring another employe and the values of pa,eg ,esg are defaulted from buffer.
once you enter new position and press enter the new values get defaulted.
if you feeling that the values of previous employee shouldn't be defaulted,which is from buffer .there is no way to stop this.
But if you can make that pa,psa,eg,esg,g rayed that is through screen modifications t588m and p0001 .then..even though the previous values are defaulted it will be changed based on position.
If you are you dont want to default the values from om ie position.then delete or delimit the entries of account assignment (1008) ,employee group subgroup (1013) through pp01 object type 's'object id.
or uncheck the pa,eg,esg field in personnel actions table T529A ,then they wont be able see in actions 0000,directly they can enter 0001 (you need to enbale pa,psa,eg,esg for 0001 thru feature P0001 and table t588m )

Diff between FSS0-"bal in local curr" and OBY6- no forex dif when clear in

I want to know the difference between the setting FSS0-only balances in local currency and the OBY6 - no forex rate difference when clearing in local currency.
I tried to fined the differnce by furfing on the internet and also by F1 help from SAP. The examples which were provided are not clear to me and any body explain with a simple example.
I want to know
1. difference between the two settings
2.under what circumstances these setting need to be applied, with an example

HI Anil,
Please refer the below points.
1. FS00- Balance in local currency
If you set the above indicator then while posting any document with more than one currency then this particular GL account will
update only local currnecy amounts . (In document this particular Gl account is having only currency and it is local currency).
GL 2000            1000 DEM       600 USD
GL 1000                                   600 USD
2. OBY6 No forex diff when clearing.
You have one Invoice with Exchanger rate X
but clearing exchange rate is Y
then
If above indicator is set then while clearing the Invoice (posted with two currency and exchange rate X)
                        Payment currency            Local currency
Cash receipt             650                             650
Clearing of receivable        650                             650
then system will not consider exchange rates here.
other wise it will consider the exchange rate Y and it will post like below
                        Payment currency            Local currency
Cash receipt             650                           650
Clearing of receivable        550                           650
Revenue from overpayment      100                           100
Exchange rate losses       0                          100
I hope above will clear you issue.

Exchange rate differences whne clearing documents in local currency

Hello,
While clearing customer documents in local currency , the system calculates exchange rate differences in the clearing document. Even if the amount in local currency is 0, the amount in second local currency will have a value. The same is happening also when we clear GR/IR account. In the case of customer clearing, becuse for the exachange rate differences account are maintaied default values in OKB9, the system cannot split, since there are 2 different account assignments when tolerances are also involved.
I think that, if the exchange rate differences account wont be popluated while clearing, i will be able to post clearing with tolerance amounts.
Any idea about how to make the exchange rate differences not to be caulculated for clearing in local currency?
Thank you,
S.

Hi,
Go to OBY6 and choose your company code.
For your company code, the check box No forex rate diff. when clearing in LC should have been checked in case if you dont want to calculate the exch rate diff when clearing open items in LC.
This will solve your issue.
Thanks,

Clearing of accounts via f-04 for local currency

Hi,
May I know whether are clearing functions (eg. F-04, F.13) used for document currency or local currency ?
How do I set this ?
I am not referring to OBY6 for the settings of no exchange rate when clearing with local currency.
Thank You.
Regards,
Leslie

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.
Regards

Clearing in foreign currnency and local currency and F13E

Hello,
I have a GL account whose Balance in Local Currency Only (BILCO) and Open Item Management (OI) flags are set. The line items posted to this account are always in foreign currency say EUR. In the month end, we use F13E (Automatic clearing with definition of clearing currency), specify EUR, and clear the line items.
But i wonder if we still need to clear in local currency or not. Financially we are not impacted, since this is a transit type of account. We dont use F.13, since in local currency there are exchange rate gains and losses, which for us for this account make no purpose to record.
Cheers

GL Master - Only Balances in Local Currency

I am curious when to check the 'Only Balances in Local Currency' (OBILC) box on a Open Item GL. I've read information from multiple sources and interpret that it should be set on all OI accounts with a few exceptions like recon accounts for vendors and customers. In my past experience OBILC was checked for most open item accounts but the company I'm currently with has the opposite logic. With the box not checked, the clearing is process is quite complex and time-consuming. We are on the classic ledger in 6.0 and have companies in multiple local currencies with group currency of USD. Just looking for input because I'm doubting my interpretation of when to check this box.
As an example, the GL would be an AP accrual account with postings in multiple doc currencies. The company code local currency is MXN, and Group Currency is USD. Should the OBILC be checked?
Any input is appreciated.

Hi,
'Only Balances in Local Currency' (OBILC) is used when you do not want any foreign excange difference to be posted at the time of clearing. When this indicator is active, then the balances in database tables are updated in local currency only and thus the clearing can happen in local currency only.
In your below example scenario, you can chosse not to activate this check OBILC, if your company is not interested in doing foreign currency valuation difference posting.

Open item mgt and only balances in local currency

Hi ,
What is open item management and only banlances in local currency ?
for which gl accounts v select open item management and only balances in local currency
Pls explain urgent
Regards
umesh

1. Only Balances in Local Currency:
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use: You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
It is required to set theis indicator in:
1. cash discount clearing accounts
2. GR/IR clearing accounts.
It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
Open item management:
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Explanation: Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
Procedure: Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
USE:
A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
Clearing accounts:
Bank clearing account
Payroll clearing account
Cash discount clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Raw material accounts
Reconciliation accounts
Hope this is helpful. Pleas assign points if it is.

Balances in Local Currency

What is the purpose and standard usage of this field in the GL Account Master?

HI,
Indicator: Only Manage Balances in Local Currency
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use
You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
Setting this indicator for accounts managed on an open item basis affects the clearing procedures. See the example below.
Procedure
Set the indicator in cash discount clearing accounts and GR/IR clearing accounts. It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
It is usually set for particular balance sheet accounts including:
Accounts which are not managed on an open item basis and not kept in foreign currencies.
Accounts which are managed on an open item basis and have the same types of items posted in different currencies, but always allow clearing to be made if the local currency amounts correspond.
Examples
You set up a clearing account for goods receipts and invoice receipts and manually post these items to it. You post invoice receipts in the invoice currency and goods receipts always in the local currency.
Invoice receipt 1000 DEM 600 USD
Goods receipt 600 USD
Both items can be cleared if the clearing account balances are recorded in local currency only. If you have not set the indicator for this account, the system will translate DEM to USD during the clearing procedure in order to determine the amount in USD required to clear 1000 DEM. If the translation rate is .65 USD per DEM, then the system displays 650 USD for the invoice receipt and 600 USD for the goods receipt when the open items are processed.
This means that to clear both of these items, you will also have to enter a difference posting for 50 USD, and the system will automatically make an additional exchange rate difference posting for this amount.
