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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Exchange rates with two parallel currencies

    Hi all,
    I need to manage a company with two parallel currencies (USD and PKR). To post a document in USD it's necessary to define in TCURR an exchange rate FROM USD to PKR, and to post a document in PKR it's necessary to have an entry FROM PKR to USD.
    Obviously the second exchange rate has to be the multiplicative inverse of the first one.
    For this reason, to avoid redundant and possibly wrong entries, is it possible to manage only one exchange rate in TCURR (for example FROM USD to PKR) instead of two? How?
    Thanks for your attention

    Go to SAP Netweaver> General Settings> Currencies and manipulate the following and you should be able to maintain only one set of exchange rates.
    i) go to Check Exchange Rate Type - and manipulate the exchange rate type you are using (Check Financial Accounting Basic settings>  Ledgers> Define Currencies for Leading Ledger to check the exchange rate type used for each company code - generally M is used) and assign Reference Currency "Ref.crcy" (for example we use USD) for that exchange rate type.
    ii) go to Define Stnadrd Quotation for Exchange Rates and maintain - Forexample we use "Blank" to "USD", so that we just have to maintain Other currencies to USD (ref.crcy) and in In-direct Quotation.
    These setting would give you the ability to maintain just "Other Currencies" to "USD" in in-direct quotaion. Use this example to decide which currency you want to use as reference currency and then maintain accordingly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Posting of exchange rate differences

    Hello Friends,
    For our organization we will have uploaded in SAP price list for products calculated in local currency at a fix rate between EUR and RON. Now the problem is that this rate is fluctuating every day and the result can be that there will be differences between the daily rate and our fixed rate.
    Our question is if the system is able to calculate letu2019s say not for daily fluctuating rates, but for an average rate, the difference between the fix rate and this average rate related to the invoices of a certain customer for a certain period.
    This will be like a bonus (discount) we would like to give back to our clients to cover the difference related to the fluctuating exchange rate between EUR and RON.
    If this is possible to be made in a certain automatic way by the system and would you be so kind in explaining how it is done, in order for us to know.
    Thanks!

  • Exchange rate difference posted to Group currency only during MIRO

    Just an update to this issue- I just found out that the system is pointing to KBS when posting the
    exchange rate difference in group currency upon IR, hence, PO account
    assignment is adopted. I'd like to rephrase my question- is there any
    way we can change SAP behaviour such that it will point to other
    transaction key (e.g. KDG) other than KDM? Bottomline is we want it
    charged to other GL account not the one in the PO.
    Thanks so much for your assistance.

  • Avoid posting of realized exchange rate differences in 2nd local currency

    Dear SAP fans,
    The situation here in our company is that a company code is set up with NZD as 1st and EUR as 2nd local currency (currency type 30 "Group currency" for EC-CS consolidation).
    Therefore, all postings (and balances) are also translated and saved in EUR (with the current exchange rate).
    We now have an open item managed G/L account for prepaid expenses, which is used to collect postings which are then cleared later. It's however no payable/receivable account for vendors/customers. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to post realized exchange rate differences when clearing this account. This is however what SAP wants to do when we try to clear it.
    For example, if I post today 100 NZD and two months later again 100 NZD to this account. If the NZD vs. EUR exchange rate changed in the meantime, then SAP won't let me clear this account without posting realized exchange rate differences, which makes however no sense.
    Does anyone of you meet this problem before? Could you please give me a hint?
    I thought about setting the "Only balances in local currency" indicator in the G/L account master but this helps only for differences between local and document currency (and not for differences in 1st and 2nd local currency).
    Any help is highly appreciated!
    Thanks and best regards,
    Peter

    Dear Padma,
    Thanks for your answer. The customizing activities you mentioned are already set up in the system. This is not our problem.
    The problem is however, that we don't want SAP to post automatically realized exchange rate differences between 1st and 2nd local currency as this doesn't make sense in this business case.
    It's about an open item managed G/L account which is used to collect posting which are later cleared. It's not a payable/receivable account for customers/vendors where the posting of realized exchange rate differences makes sense.
    We've thought about several solution which unfortunately all didn't help us:
    - Don't setup realized exchange rate differences accounts or set them up only for group currency (in OB09)
    - Set indicator "Only balances in local currency" in G/L master data
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • 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

  • F-28 Exchange Rate Difference Account with a zero posting

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    When I try to post an incoming payment, even though there are no exchange rate differences, the system post to exchange rate difference account. How to configure the system to stop displaying the exchange rate difference account when the difference is zero.
    Regards,
    Siva

    Dear Siva,
    I dont think that the system will post to exchange rate difference account if there is no difference. Probably you are seeing the doucment in the foreign currency. Try to simulate the entry and on the simulated screen, click on the "Display currency" tab on the top of the entry. That will show the simulated entry in the local currency. In the local currency, there may be some difference.
    Check it and if useful, assign points.

    HiI
    f you set this selection field then the settings in the ERD Setting column for this currency type are no longer relevant. The system calculates and posts exchange rate differences between order-related goods receipts and invoices not just for materials with standard price, but also for:
    Materials with moving average price
    Account-assigned transactions
    Planned delivery costs
    The valuation of the inventories or consumption is effectively done at the exchange rate for the goods receipt, and not at the exchange rate of the invoice. When you post the good receipts, the fixed exchange rate from the purchase order is not used, but the translation of the purchase order values to local currency is always done at the posting date of the goods receipt.
    If you are using the material ledger with actual costing, the system does not include the posted exchange rate differences at period-end closing in the actual prices of the materials.
    Regards

  • Unexplained exchange rate difference

    We have created a delivery plan in USD (our local currency is EUR) without fixing exchange rate. This plan has a received several GR and IV at different rates. The material is valuated at standar value.
    D.Plan: Rate A , price 15,96 USD/UN
    month 1 - GR and IV at rate B
    month 2 - GR and IV at rate C
    month 3 - GR and IV at rate D
    All invoices are posted at a price of 14,32 USD.
    In month 1 we had price difference due to differences with the standard price. That was correct.
    In month 2 the system has posted unexpected exchange rate differences (key DM). We don't understand them as fas as GR and IV were posted at the same rate.
    Could it be that the system is using the rate of the first IV? We wonder the way SAP is calculating that exchange rate difference?

  • Exchange Rate difference account-

    Hi All,
    Please help me to find a solution for the scenario below.
    Business process is third party PO scenario where the vendor currency(USD) is different from ccode currency.
    Material is valuated at 30 EUR.
    PO is made with the vendor at Rs.51.60 USD.(Exchange rate is not fixed at header level in PO)
    GR is made at 51.60 USD
    While doing IR,the exchange rate has changed from 1.290 to 1.395.
    What configuration should be done for the system to post to Exchange rate difference account(transaction key KDM)..
    (As of now the difference in price is posted to the consumption account,Which was already hit during GR).

    Deepak.

    HI DEEPAK,
    If Price control maintained in Material master is " V " then, at MIRO,
    1.  exchange rate diff. will be posted to stock account if available stock qty is >= invoice quantity
    2.  exchange rate diff. will be posted to exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is 0
    3.  exchange rate diff. will be posted propotionately to stock account and exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is <  invoice quantity
    If Price control maintained in Material master is " S " then, at MIRO,
    1.  exchange rate diff. will be posted exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) i.e. irrespective of stock availability.
    pls, check and revert back

  • Exchange rate difference in SAP MM

    Hi experts,
    Is there any way to bring the exchange rate difference at time of invoice to some other account rather than stock account.
    The scenario is; for eg.
    in PO :   1 USD = 50 INR
    @ GRN 1 UDS = 55 INR
    @ INV    1 USD = 60 INR
    At the GRN, inventory will be updated with 55 INR.
    At the INV, system will value vendor at 60 INR, but in Standard SAP, the difference of 5 INR will be updated as below.
    1.  exchange rate diff. will be posted to stock account if available stock qty is >= invoice quantity
    2.  exchange rate diff. will be posted to exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is 0
    3.  exchange rate diff. will be posted propotionately to stock account and exchange rate diff acct (as per KDM) ,if available stock qty is <  invoice quantity
    Is there any way, that system will post the exchange rate difference to separate account , rather than inventory.
    It is because in client audit, the audit concern say, according to Indian standards, inventory should be valuated only one time in imports. In case of any differences, it should post to separate account and not inventory. They say SAP allows that. Client asked us the same.
    I have checked, OMRW, but even after giving 'N' in ERD setting, system is posting to stock account only.
    Any way to meet this??
    Regards
    sBk

    Dear Sujith,
    Exchange rate differences for a moving average price material will be
    posted to the stock account, provide there is sufficient stock coverage.
    Transaction OLMR -> Incoming invoice -> Configure how exchange rate
    difference are treated.
    If you set this selection field then the settings in the ERD Setting
    column for this currency type are no longer relevant. The system
    calculates and posts exchange rate differences between order-related
    goods receipts and invoices not just for materials with standard price,
    but also for:
    * Materials with moving average price
    * Account-assigned transactions
    * Planned delivery costs
    Because of this setting the exchange rate differences are posted to KDM
    account  instead of stock (BSX) or price difference (PRD) account
    If you uncheck the field, exchange rate differences will be posted to
    the stock or price difference account, for a moving average price
    material, based on the stock coverage.
    Please refer Sap note  980402 in detail
