<b>
" Account in Foreign Currency</b>
If you select a foreign currency as account currency, you can only post amounts in
this foreign currency to this account.
The transaction figures and the line items are managed in the account currency
and in local currency.
Example: A company has a foreign exchange account in US dollars at its house
bank. The corresponding G/L account in the general ledger is also managed with
account currency USD to ensure reconciliation with the bank account at any time."
I also test the same in system, When I try to post the document other than account currency (foreign currency)
system display the following error
Postings to account A01301 (company code 7800) are only possible in currency USD
Message no. F5353
Diagnosis
G/L account "A01301" is managed in "USD". For this reason, it is not possible to post amounts in "INR".
System Response
The data canot be updated.
Procedure
If you want to post a gain or loss from exchange rate fluctuation to a foreign exchange account, you must use the Foreign currency valuation function.
Proceed
If you do not want to do this, correct currency key "USD" in the master record of G/L account "A01301" in company code "7800".
Proceed
Thanks

Question on Foreign Currency Revaluation

Can anyone help me to clear this question.
Do i need to do GVTR or F.16 (Balance carryforward) for new fiscal year before perform the foreign currency revaluation for a GL account? We are using account balance method (not open item).
The reason i asking this question is because when i do the foreign currency revaluation (tcode:F.05) for a GL account on the first day of the new fiscal year (revaluation key date = first day of new fiscal year,let say '01/07/2007'), the system show 'List contains no data'. However, when change the revaluation key date = last day of current fiscal year (30/06/2007), the system is able to display the relevant data.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin,
the question is in fact how can we tie back the postings to the original documents:
e.g. I have 1 custumer invoice. Document number 1 which through document split has received 2 profit centers.
On the first screen 1 get 1 line:
                                            original FX rate          reval FX rate
document 1 : 100 USD        ,75          75 EUR       ,80     80 EUR       5 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
If I click on the postings button I see :
debit FX differences    3 EUR profit center 1
credit FX gain               3 EUR profit center 1
debit FX differences    2 EUR profit center 2
credit FX gain               2 EUR profit center 2
We are searching for a list that replaces the first list and looks like:
                                                                     original FX rate          reval FX rate
document 1 : profit center 1 60 USD        ,75          45 EUR       ,80     48 EUR       3 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
document 1 : profit center 2 40 USD        ,75          30 EUR       ,80     32 EUR       2 EUR exchange rate difference to be posted
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best regards

Foreign Currency procurement cycle

Hi Experts
Suppose we purchase import Material
1) Purchase order rises 47 USD
2)when invoice came that time Currency rate increase
3)at the time of invoice which rate i have taken
4)the payment which value i have to pay
5)in this procurement where we change the rate and how foreign currency valuation impact in accounts in sap systems
Plz entire procurement scenario that i can explain to my client how to foreign currency valuation
happen in sap system

If the PO is in foreign currency, you specify the exchange rate at the time of creation of PO in the Exchange Rate field in the PO header (Delivery/Invoice tab). Right next to that field, you will see a check box titled "Exch. Rate Fixed". If you fix the exchange rate by checking this check box, the purchase order currency and the exchange rate cannot be changed during invoice verification. If you do not check it, the exchange rate that applies on the date of entering the invoice will get picked when you enter the invoice.
Now let's say this invoice is not paid by the end of the month. To close your books for the month, you perform foreign currency valuation for this open item to remeasure the foreign currency amount due by you into local currency. This valuation difference (unrealized gain/loss) is reversed on the first day of the next month. Now your numbers are back to the values entered during invoice entry. If the item gets paid now, you may incur realized gain/loss depending on the exchange rate that your bank gives you. If this rate is different from the rate as of the invoice entry, you will have realized exchange rate gain/loss. Else, there is no realized gain.
Execute t code FAGL_FC_VAL and click on the blue information icon on the initial screen and read the program documentation. There is a very nice example in there that should clarify your question on foreign currency valuation.

Foreign currency transfer in COPA

Hello friends,
I have a question on foreign currency in COPA document when I do the sales order settlement. I have a sales order where I mentioned that document currency is EUR and maintained exchange rate.
My Operating, controlling and company code currency is USD. If I do a normal sales cycle and do the billing generation there we get a Profitability analysis under value field tab I can see EUR when I click the foreign currency icon and also I see the USD for company code and op.concern currency.
When I am using the Make To Order scenario and do the sales cycle we don't get any COPA doc when billing is happend. We have to run the settlement VA88, then copa doc will get generated. If I go to the copa document I can't able to see the currency EUR key and as well values in EUR.
Can someone help me on this.
Appreciated your quick reply.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Sarfaraz

Hi Jean,
1) Did you verify if the fields are populated in the CE* tables?
    Population of these tables are done by COPA programs in R3.
    the BW datasources pull the data from these R3 tables.
2) If the data is available somewhere (CE tables or some other tables), you can enhance the
    datasource and populate the fields.
3) Were you able to see the data in RSA3 on R3 side?
Good luck, BB

Item Standard Cost for foreign currency purchase order

Hi there
I have a question about
We have foreign currency purchases of USD which is fixed in USD.
Currently, we are converting this into AUD and entering this as the standard cost.
But if the currency rate is changed, we need to adjust the standard cost of AUD even though the price of USD is still the same.
Does Oracle have standard functionality where we can enter the USD purchase price into the system and have the system rate convert it to AUD whenever we have a new exchange rate?

Hi,
my solutioning would be
1. Create an Org where in item cost is maintained in US$, and perform no material transactions in this Org.
2. Use the prog 'Copy Item Costs Across Organizations', to copy the cost from US$-Org to AUS$-Org using any conversion rate as defined (Corporate, or average etc)
Use this process on regular basis so that you have the latest coversion and cost rate.

Problem in F.05 in foreign currency valuation

Hi all
we are facing some problem in the F.05..that is we are getting some amount difference in one company code 6000
but we do not have any issues with the forex revaluation. We are following the same process for both the company codes i. e 4000 and 6000 for forex revaluation ( T Code: F.05).
In both the postings Balance sheet preparation valuation was selected. Only when we are knocking off the customer open line item against the payment, Forex revaluation entry is not reversed incase of company Code:6000. For company code:4000 documents are properly posted.
Our question is why is the system is not reversing forex revaluation documents for company codes:6000?
Can any body please help me out for this issue and let me know if you want more explian
Thanks in advance
Regards
vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
Just check whether in Company Code 6000 you have activated Delta Logic. If it is activated, then whether for the Company Code 6000, you have posted the document as Year end Closing Valuation. If it is year end valuation, then the System will not reverse the Foreign Currency Revaluation documents.

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

Pricing for BP working in Foreign Currency only (differs from Sys. Curr.)

Hello,
a vendor is setup with currency = Euro
The issue is that when creating a marketing document the item price
shows/loads is in USD ( The Total Doc is the total amount in Euro).
When I go into the line item and change the Item Price it changes the currency to Euro.
The item is purchased only from this vendor and all transactions ar handled in Euros.
The questions I have are for SAP Business One 2005 SP01 default system:
Can I have the line item loaded with the Euro Price - in the Item Price and not the USD?
Is there a way to have a price list with Euro or any foreing Currency different from the system currency?
Can I setup special prices for the BP and the items in Euro /Foreign Currency?
Thank you,
Massi

Hi Massi,
you will need to create a EUR price list & link that to the BP :
To create a price list(PL) in a currency different from the local currency (LC) follow the steps below:
1. Go to stock management -> Price Lists -> either rename an existing PL orcreate a new one by clicking on Data -> Add row or pressing Ctrl+I.
2. Give the PL an appropriate name, e.g. 'Euro Price List'.
3. Select itself as Base Price List.
4. Set a factor of '1'.
5. Set a rounding method as appropriate.
6. Assign an appropriate authorisation group.
7. Click on 'Update.
8. Double-click on the row number of the new PL.
9. Enter the item prices with the 3 digit prefix of the currency, here EUR.
10. Update after each price entered.
11. Assign this PL to the apprpriate business partners (BP) under Business Partners -> Business Partner Master Data -> select BP -> Tab Payment Terms -> select from drop down list in 'Price List' field.
Just keep in mind that this PL cannot be based on any PL that is not kept in EUR, hence it must be updated manually.
All the best,
Kerstin

11i valuation of foreign currency expenses

Hi everyone,
The Polish Legal requirement of valuation of foreign currency expenses is to value of these expenses and exchange rate differences at currency cost layers (by historical rates), not at current exchange rate!
It works exactly the same as material transaction costing, that is foreign currency expeses are valued:
1) at FIFO (First in, First out),
2) at LIFO (Last in, First out),
3) at Average (average value).
Each company have to choose an method of valuation for his foreign currency expenses.
Example:
1) Foreign currency is USD, functional currency is PLN
2) current balance of USD account = 1,000USD, PLN account = 2,338.00PLN
where:
- 600USD x 2.35PLN/USD(ex rate) = 1410PLN
- 400USD x 2.32PLN/USD = 928PLN
2) The company applies FIFO costing for valuation his foreign currency expenses.
So, for example, 800USD payment has to be valued as following:
800USD = 600USD x 2.35PLN/USD + 200USD x 2.32PLN/USD
So, question:
Do You know any functionality in 11i in GL, AR, AP or CE module that allows us to value the foreign currency expenses like above?
Maybe, do You have any experience with it?
I will be grateful for any solutions.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Ajay,
Kindly advise on how to do the config. We need to separate the AR and AP adjustment only for the unrealized Forex/Gain or Loss.
But looking at the screen in OB09, there's only 1 field for the bal.sheet adj.loss and another field for the bal.sheet adj.gain.

Foreign currency conversion is wrong in line item report

Hi All,
I have a system which went live recently as of 1st of Sept. 2011. Hence my cut off is 31st Aug.2011.
Now, i have uploaded customer open line items in foreign currency. Hence, at cutover my exchange rate was as per month of Aug. Now when I want to post an incoming payment through f-28 I see a different amount in my local currency i.e INR. The difference is exactly the difference due to change of exchange rate. However, my question is once when a document is posted then why does the system shows the amount in INR as per the next month's i.e sept's exchange rate?
Can anybody help me on this please?
Thanks
Priyanka.

Priyanka,
The system is behaving exactly according to accounting principles. For foreign currency transactions, the exchange rate for translation into local currency should be at the rate on which the business transaction occurs. Now, you have converted your open items from the old system into your new system as of Aug. 31. The customer has made the payment (in foreign currency) today. So it is appropriate from an accounting standpoint to take today's rate to convert the foreign curr amnt into INR. The resulting difference is your realized exchange rate difference. You need to book that difference to an exch. rate gain/loss account (that you need to configure in OB09).

Foreign currency partial payment

Hi Experts,
I have done the following transactions.
System: ECC6 & New GL is active
Local currency is EUR
1. created customer invoice (F-22)
invoice amount is 1000USD (foreign currency)
Exchange rate - 1.2
Local amount is 1000$ * 1.2=1200EUR
2. Created incoming partial payment (F-28)
amount is 600USD
Exchange rate - 1.3
Local amount is 600 * 1.3 = 780EUR
When I simulated this partial payment there is no exchange gain/loss item.
3. Creating incoming payment for remaining amount (F-28)
amount is 400USD
Exchange rate - 1.25
Local amount is 400 * 1.25 = 500EUR
In this document, system calculates total exchange gain/loss and created respective item.
Question: on what accounting principle, system is behaving above way?
How do I carry out this example based on IFRS if this is not the way IFRS works?
Thanks,
Sukhbold

Hi Sukhbold,
This is a system standered behaviors, as you are doing Partial payment clearing system is not clearing any open item here where as it creating additional line item of Dr with the new exchange rate. So when ever you clear the rest of payment along with invoice and partial clearing documents then system will generate the exchange rate difference line item for full invoice amount.
For your understanding try with Residual clearing then you will get the Exchange rate difference line item.
Thanks
