'Old Difference' field in Foreign Currency Valuation transaction

hi all,
While clearing a foreign currency transaction in local currency, the some part of the exchange difference is going to balance sheet exch val acccount and rest to P&L exchange val diff account.

Could anyone please explain me where from this comes - and transaction effects this field.
Thanks in advance,

Difference between Foreign Currency Valuation & Translation

What is the difference between Foreing Currecy Valuation (FAGL_FC_VAL) & Foreing Currency Translation (FAGL_FC_TRANS) ?
help.sap.com

Hi,
Foreign currency valuation FAGL_FC_VAL is a place where we valuate the foreign currencies to the particular local currency and post the differences to either exchange loss or gain.
Foreign currency translation helps us to transalte the forein currency to loacal currency with out calculating the gain or loss derived from exchange.
Parallel currency can be valuated in T-cd:FAGL_FC_Trans.

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

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.

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.

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.
Regards
Atul

Why foreign currency valuation is required ?

Hi.
I just want to clear my doubt. If we deal with foreign vendors or customers like vendor invoice is done through USD or EUR or GBP but payment is not made till now or customer invoices are done but payment is not received from them in month of August. In that case if we run foreign currency valuation of open vendor invoices and open customer invoices on 31st August it will generate accounting entry and next day i.e, 1st September accounting entry will be reversed. So my question is we have not received from customer and we have not paid to vendor, invoices are still open from customer and vendor side. So if we run foreign currency valuation what will be its actual effect in the business and if we not run foreign currency valuation what are the problems may arrises because later if we pay to vendor through foreign currency then actual loss / gain effect will arrise in our business scenario.
Kindly give me reply.

hi
As part of the period end process, and in anticipation of creating a period-end financial statement, all accounts held in foreign currency and all foreign currency open items must be re-valued at the period end rate. There are two tools within the SAP ERP Packaged Solution for this purpose:
Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Balance Sheet Accounts: The program selects every balance sheet account, typically cash accounts, that is held in a foreign currency and re-values the total balance at the currently valid rate. Any (sterling) exchange rate difference is posted to a realised gains/losses account.
Foreign Currency Revaluation u2013 Open Item Accounts: Open item accounts managed in GBP, such as debtors and creditors, may contain foreign currency transactions. The program will individually revalue each open item to determine an overall unrealised foreign exchange gain or loss position. The realised exchange rate gain/loss is posted when the transaction is cleared.
It is a statutory requirement to meet hte FAS52 and GAAP requirements

F.05 Foreign Currency Valuation

Hi,
My user had problem when run F.05, Foreign Currency Valuation. It was mentioned that no batch input data for screen SAPMF05A 0700 but it was noted that some transaction had taken place & posted.
As not all the transaction had been posted successfully, I would like to seek your advice how could user post the transaction with error. Some of the transaction was failed due to Posting period 005 2010 is not open.

To highlight to users the new features found in the enhanced foreign currency revaluation program:
     Basic instructions given in initial screen (bottom part of screen) to emphasize correct execution of program for open-item accounts (GL, customer and vendor) and GL balances in foreign currency.
u2022     u2018Bal sheet preparation valuatnu2019 checkbox u2013 This checkbox is applicable only for open-item accounts. When ticked, the revaluation program updates the valuation difference in the open item document. FI postings are generated, but reversal is not possible. When unticked, the revaluation program proceeds to create a batch input session. Postings are generated after executing the session in SM35. Reversal of postings is possible (provided that u2018reverse postingsu2019 checkbox is ticked).
u2022     Revaluation of GL balances in foreign currency will be executed via batch input session because at all times, u2018Bal sheet preparation valuatnu2019 checkbox is not ticked.
     Program has two spool outputs. The spool xxxx attached to the job in SM37 shows the Message log. The spool number xxxx u2013 1 shows the calculation, posting proposal and message log. This second spool can be displayed in transaction SP01.
     To avoid errors and easier monitoring, the foreign currency program will have a minimum of four (4) runs:
1.   Open item revaluation (Test run)
     Check the spool if there is an error.
     If error, correct and run a test run again.
     Test run should be repeated until there are no errors or   (red light items) found in the message spool.
2.   Open item revaluation (Actual run)
     Check the spool if there is an error.
     If error, correct and run a test run again.
3.   G/L balances revaluation (Test run)
4.     G/L balances revaluation (Actual run)
     If actual run is still executed after the error messages, the validation included in the program will ensure that the documents are not updated (value of BSEG_BDIFF will not change). No batch session will be created. Only when errors are corrected will the program be able to post the valuation difference documents.
     If the balance sheet adjustment account is blocked for posting, the program will proceed to create the batch session. Another validation checks if there are existing batch sessions not processed in the previous month.

Balance sheet adjustment account for Foreign Currency Valuation

Hi all,
I know that we enter AP /AR balance sheet adjustment account for Open items account when we configure for Foreign currency valuation with Tcode OBA1 and KDF. I wanted to know what account can I enter in that field for other balance sheet account which are not open item managed?
Also, Do we valuate GR/IR accounts in foreign currency valuation?? If yes, what balance sheet adjustment account do we enter for those accounts?
Thank you.

HI,
The valuation of <b>foreign currency balances</b> requires a special key that is assigned the gain and loss accounts for posting any exchange rate differences that occur during valuation. You can freely define this key. You then enter it in the master records of the accounts that you want to valuate. To post the differences that are determined from a group of G/L accounts to the same gain or loss accounts, enter the same key for all these G/L accounts.
Create the Create here with Tcode OBA1 and KDB-Exch. Rate Diff. using Exch. Rate Key
And assign this in the GL account master in the Control Tab.
Thanks
Vijay

Foreign Currency Valuation customers, (outstanding invoices) F.05

After using F.05 for foreign currency valuation I am surprised by example outstanding CHF invoices keep the same EURO figures.
When I look to the report F.05 gives after using the session it shows a calculation for each CHF invoices to the new EURO figures,
but after processing the batch with SM35 there is no change of the EURO figures by these invoices.
After a while I noticed this kind of currency differences are booked on another GL account.
So there is one GL account for outstanding debtors and another one what gets the currency rate differences after using F.05.
Never the less is it not very strange when I am using line items reports to show the invoices of outstanding debtors that on invoice level the EURO figures still have the same figures?
By example 42000 CHF are equal 25000 EUR and after using F.05 the report says this 42.000 CHF are equal to 28000 EUR.
I should expect the EUR figures of 28000 would I see back in the oustainding invoice reporting, but that's still showing the old amount of 25000.
I know SAP shows the difference on another GL account but is it not strange this kind of currency differences are not in the outstanding invoices figures. I should expect by the invoices the EUR figures after currency valuation.
Is this how SAP works? Or did we something wrong when we set up our own SAP version?:-)

Hi,
This is how the accounting is done. Basically at the year end the foreign exchange gain or loss is accounted for in a separate account of respective master data like customer , vendor & profit and loss is effected. generally FAGL_FC_VAL is used where there is ecc 6. And the reversal date is set for this effect. At the start of the year this entry is revesed. And the actual gain or loss is accounted for at the time of liabilty/ income crystalisation i.e. payment\ receipt of foreign exchange.
