Partial Exchange Rate Difference Postings following upgrade to 2007

Hi Experts,
My customer has upgraded from 2005 to 2007. The upgrade has posted roughly 1000 "Partial Exchange Rate Difference Recognition" journals.
We understand the reasons why the journals have been posted. The problem we have is that the Jounral is dated at the Due Date of the Invoice, rather than the actual Posting Date of the Incoming Payment.
The Exchange Difference was actually realised at the point the Payment was received. Why has the system posted these journals with a Posting Date of the Invoice Due Date?
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
please refer to SAP note Note [1290491|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290491] - IRU Journal Entries created with incorrect Posting Date.
All the best,
Kerstin

Basic questions about Exchange Rate Differences

Hi Experts?
I have few questions about exchange rates:
1. Currently in 2007, under what circumstances are exchange rate differences not posted automatically? In the previous version, it was this case when invoices are linked to payment, and manual exchage rate differences had to be run.
2. What are unrealized exchange rates? and When do unrealized exchange rates occurs?
3. In account oo logical pinciples, why is there a need to auto reverse Exchange rate differences or Conversion rate differences during the opening of a new posting period??
Much Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

As a rule, in version 2007 it's the unrealised exchange rate differences on the BP side that are relevant since with the introduction of the unified internal reconciliation engine realised partial exchange rate differences are automatically posted. You also use the functionality to post exchange rate differences for FC GL accounts at a particular execution day.

Problem while 're-posting' a cancelle Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference

Hi Gurus,
We are facing a problem while re-posting an Invoice with Exchange Rate Difference. I say re-posting because this invoice was previously posted and reversed on the same date. Here is the scenario along with the relevant postings:
1)
G/R is posted in September when the exchange rate for dollar was, say, Rs. 49 = 1 USD.
Posting:
Service A/C.....100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (Rs. 4900)
2)
MIRO is done in October, when the exchange rate was, say, Rs. 48 = 1 USD. Thus, the exchange difference posting was done in the respective accounts.
Posting:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......100 USD (Rs. 4900)
     To Vendor A/C...........90 USD (Rs. 4320)
     To TDS A/C..............10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To Exch. Difference A/C. 0 USD (Rs. 100)
This was the correct entry, however we missed out some TDS codes and thus needed to reverse this entry and repost it.
3)
Now this invoice was reversed (T.Code MIRO) in october itself on exactly the same date on which invoice was created, and it resulted in the following postings:
Vendor A/C......90 USD (Rs. 4320)
TDS A/C.........10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To SR/IR Clearing A/C...100 USD (4800, i.e. 48 * 100, Rs.48 being the exchange rate in october)
4)
Now when we try to post MIRO again, it is posting the following entry:
SR/IR Clearing A/C......97.96 USD (Rs. 4800)
Exch. Difference A/C.....2.04 USD (Rs.    0)
     To Vendor A/C........... 85 USD (Rs. 4080)
     To TDS1 A/C............. 10 USD (Rs. 480)
     To TDS2 A/C............. 5 USD (Rs. 240)
This is a wrong entry. SR/IR clearing A/C should have been debited by 100 USD (Rs. 4900), and the Exch. Rate difference account should have been credited by 0 USD (Rs. 100)
Can someone please help us with this. What the system seems to be doing is, that when the Invoice was reversed, the value that got reversed for SR/IR Clearing A/C was 100 USD but with Rs. 4800 instead of Rs. 4900. Now, when we try to repost the invoice, the system divided this value by the exchange rate prevalent in September, i.e. Rs. 49, thus the resultant value 97.96 USD (i.e. 4800 / 49).
Please help.
Thanks!

Angad Nagpal

Solved.
The final entry is correct, as the net result in the G/L balances is the same. For further information please refer to notes 116250 and 46564.

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)

Open Item Clearing: Exchange Rate Differences

Hi guru
I have one account 100 and in fbl3n I have the following posting:
document number 1: account 100--> Amount 2000$ in S, Exchange rate 0,63
document number 2: account 100--> Amount 2000$ in H, Exchange rate 0,70
Then I have cleared this account but in the posting I have 3 lines item:
1 the account : amount 20 in S
2 passive difference: amount 100 in S
3 active difference: amount 120 in H
The user asked me a posting with two lines items:
1 the account: amount 20 in S

He would like to see only the difference (120-100)
is it possible?
Thanks

Exchange Rate Differences for Alternative Currency

F110 payment run for invoices posted in foreign currency creates automatic postings to exchange rate difference (realized gain or loss) accounts linked to KDW.
What we are trying to do is to use another set of GL accounts to be posted automatically aside from what are defaulted in the KDW in OBA1.
Questions:
- Is F110 fixed to get KDW transaction to get which GL accounts will be posted to?
- Can we define another transaction with different set of GL accounts to be posted to? If so, how and where do we configure this so that F110 will not be defaulted to get KDW.
Thanks,
Ommar

No exchange rate difference at Invoice Receipt for PO with account assignme

Hi all,
I have a PO with account assignment "K" postinged to G/L account XYZ.
In OBYC, the MM exchange rate difference (KDM) account is set to ABC.
The exchange rate between GR and IR is different.
I expect there should be an exchange rate difference posting to ABC, but instead it's posted to the GL account in the PO, i.e. XYZ.
Do you know what is missing?
Many thanks.
Manlee

Hi
Have you checked if note 980402 is in? We found on a customer system that even though this note was in some settings were still missing which SAP support inserted as follows (per point 49 of the note):
49. Use transaction SM31 to add the following entries to the table T169A.
BUSTW CNT02 VORSL FELDN FELDN_ALT BUZID
RE02 03 KDM KRDIF P
RE10 03 KDM KRDIF P
RE11 03 KDM KRDIF P
RE13 03 KDM KRDIF P
RE21 09 KDM KRDIF P
RE22 10 KDM KRDIF P
After this correct the system is able to post to GL account defined in KDM/KDF ( I forget now which one it used). Note that this assumes the flagg CCCUR is set to activate this functionality. This will effectively override the fixed flag in the PO.

SGD Exchange Rate Difference JE appears in Customer Aging Report

Dear Experts,
SAP Version: 8.81
Local Currency: SGD
We perform Exchange Rate Difference for a USD BP to calculate the unrealized gain/loss during month-end, JE created successfully.
Next, we go to Customer Aging Report and select this USD BP.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in Local Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in SGD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, the total balance can appear in SGD with no problem.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in USD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, i can't see the total balance as it is appeared as xxxxx.
Above is the behaviour in 881.
Last time in SAP 2005, when i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD will not appear, therefore i can see the total balance in USD.
What is your opinion about the behavior in 881? Will you consider it as design or issue?
Thanks.

Lay Chin

Dear all,
This problem is no longer there when upgrade to 881 Patch 08.

FI Forex gain loss & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency & Chart of Accounts

Dear All,
I have queries on following :
1) what is difference b/w Forex gain loss account & Exchange Rate difference on Foreign Currency account .
2) Under which Heads in Balance sheet they should come as per Indian Accounting Standards.
3) Are these accounts common for Vendor & customers or different.
4) they record FI data at Company code level or at sub-ledger level first (Vendor /Customer) .
4) Is it advised to use same Chart of Accounts to two companies in same country by using different GL's with different FSV?
Regards
MJ

Hi M J,
Please note the answers below:-
1. It is one and the same thing. When you say forex gain/loss account, it means a GL account and exchnage rate difference means, the difference in rates at which you purchased/sold and the rate at which you made paid/collected.
2. Ask Client where they want to show these GL's in Financial statement Version.
3. The configuration setting is in OB09 and SAP allows you to keep same or diff GL for both realised Exchnage rate gain/loss. It depends on how you want to see. technically it is possible.
4. The Valuation is done at company code level, but individual records are picked up at vendor/customer level. It means that the revaluation gain/loss adjustment is not given to each individual Vendor/Customer, rather it is posted to a GL - Balance Sheet adj.
5. Yes, you can use same chart of accounts and you do not need to create separate GL's at the company code level for two company codes. Same GL's can be used as the posting is made at Co. code level.

Kavita

Posting of Exchange rate differences in parallel currencies

Hello experts,,
We are on ECC 6.
When we enter an incoming invoice with MIRO and the current exchange rate differs from that in the PO, the exchange rate differences in local currency and in parallel currency (group currency) post to different accounts.
Is this a standard feature / behavior? If so, where can i find the settings.
Shouldn't the postings in all currencies (except doc currency), in the event of exchange rate difference post to the same account?
The material ledger is not active.
We have maintained a local currency and a group currency.
Example to illustrate my issue -
DC = JPY
LC = SGD
GC = USD
PO for asset.
PO value = 100000 JPY
Ex rate not fixed in the PO.
Ex rate at PO -
100 JPY = 1.6 SGD
100 JPY = 0.85 USD
Ex Rate at IR
100 JPY = 1.7 SGD
100 JPY = 0.9 USD
When IR is entered,
The exchange rate difference of 100 SGD (@ 0.1 per 100 JPY) is posted to the asset. No posting in USD (though there is a balance of 50 USD).
At clearing (Transaction FB1S - GL account clearing) the exchange rate difference (in GC only, because no balance in LC) of 50 USD (@ 0.05 per 100 JPY) is posted to the Exch. rate difference GL acct.
Thanks in advance for your advice/solution.
B. Regards,
Halaswamy

Hello,
1. You have to assign Forex GL's for the reconciliation accounts in OB09.
2. At the time of payment for incoming invoices, system can read the valuation differences and it will post to Realized Gain/Loss accounts and B/S adjustment account.
3. You can consider this amount to issue bonus to your customers.

Exchange Rate difference posting during MIRO posting

Hi ,
We are facing an issue for exchange rate difference posting during MIRO.
PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date. Vendor in PO has different currency than company code currency. Exchange rate maintained in OB08 for this period is taken in PO.
PO value & GR value is same. Due to raw material cost there was price difference posted during GR posting.
(i.e. Raw material cost - GR/IR value = Price difference amount)
During posting MIGO, 3 accounts got posted.
Raw material cost account got debited & offset credit to GR/IR account & price difference account (in vendor & company code currency also)
During posting MIRO, 4 accounts got posted.
Vendor account got credited with GR/IR amount & offset to GR/IR account debit.
Exchange rate difference account got credited & offset to price difference account (in company code currency only)
Since PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date, then why system has posted exchange rate difference account in local currency only during MIRO posting ?
Your inputs appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
there is a setting in configuration of logistics invoice verification where you can control the calculation and posting of exchange rate differences. If you had the setting active that exchange rate differences are calculated against a planned exchange rate, that might lead to the kind of postings you describe. Please check.
best regards, Udo

Exchange rate difference coming in BRS

Dear FICO Experts,
we created 3 bank g/l accounts like main, reciept and pmt. but currency assigned in control data is USD bcoz all transaction vll be posted in USD. We also defined house bank master data in FBZP for the same.My company code curency is INR. Now we maintain exchange rate on 1st day of the month. For e.g. we defined exchange rate as on 01/11/11 say 46 per USD and my user posted one journal entry on 03/11/11 for 1000 USD @ 47 as per bank transaction. Now when m doing BRS on 03/11/11 for the same transaction, system is taking exchange rate defined in ob08 i.e. 46 and there for while doing BRS system is showing exchange rate difference G/L for Rs 1000 (46000-47000) which i dont want. bcoz act transaction amt is 47000.
Please advice for steps to be followed.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Ravi,
Thanks for ur prompt reply but I have already done OBA1 configuration and therefore, exchange rate difference G/L is coming. My requirement is that, we dont to post any amount in exchange rate difference while doing BRS.
Thanks & Regards,
Virendra.

Exchange rate difference posting in parallel currencies

Exchange Rate difference in MIGO

Hello members,
During MIGO, a material document is created and subsequently an accounting document is created.
BADI has been developed as per the business requirement to post the accounting document by
taking the exchange rate as on the Document Date, wheras, the rate taken as per Material document is
posting date. Subsequently when IR is done, the sytem takes the reference of Material document
as per posting date and the exchange rate is taken as on posting date. On account of GR accounting
document(as per document date) and GR Material document(as per posting date), there exists a
difference and posted to expense account. The business requirement is the system should take
only document date for GR and IR and hence there should not be any exchange rate difference.
Whether ticking the fixed rate in exchange rate in PO will suffice or we have to make some other
settings & developments. Kindly guide.
Thanks in advance,
Sadashivan

Hi Jeyakanthan,
If we check the fixed rate, the system will pick the same rate in IR as it was in GR(Material document), the rate on the
posting date valid as per OB08. But the accounting document created for GR is as per document date which is
different from posting date and rate prevailing on document date is different. Hence, there will be a difference in the
exchange rate in GR and IR accounting documents. Any idea how the system can pick the rate as per document
date in accounting document of GR for IR postings instead of posting date?
Thanks and regards,
Sadashivan
