Regrouping , Foreign currency valuation

Question

Hi All,
Can anyone explain the use of regrouping(F101) and foreign currency valuation (F.05) ?

Answer 1

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.
