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

Re-posting old documents for Foreign Currency Valuation

Hi all,
I have a lot of old documents in the system that were posted with 'only balance in local currency' set in the G/L account master data. Therefore, when I try to valuate them in FAGL_FC_VAL now, they cannot be fx valuated. The client needs them valuated though., and only new documents after the 'only balance in local currency' unchecked can be valuated in FAGL_FC_VAL.
Does anyone know how to resolve this so the documents can be fx valuated?
Thanks,

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.

Atul

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

Please help - Foreign currency valuation

Hi,
I have a query about foreign currency valuation
As per my knowledge, when we run F.05 for foreign currency valuation, it valuates the open items in foriegn currencyand reverses them the next day.
so the original invoice will not have any valuation difference
( more data > valuation diff) will be zero.
NOW, if the invoice has valuation diff what does it mean?
Please help me on this....
Regards,
Jay

Below information may be useful to you-
You have the following options for valuating open items in foreign currency:
Saving the exchange rate difference per document
You can define that in addition to being posted, the exchange rate differences are saved per document. This information is then available for subsequent evaluations, for example, Transferring and Sorting Receivables and Payables
To do this, select the indicator Valuation for FS preparations on the Postings tab.
The exchange rate differences saved in the document are taken into account for payment clearing:
Unrealized exchange rate differences
When you valuate open items in foreign currency, the exchange rate difference determined is posted as an unrealized exchange rate difference.
Realized exchange rate differences
For an incoming payment, that is, when you are clearing the open items, the current exchange rate is determined. The unrealized exchange rate difference determined from the line item is taken into account.
If the first valuation results in an exchange rate difference of 30 DEM, and the current valuation results in an exchange rate difference of 10 DEM, an exchange rate difference of 20 DEM is posted and 10 DEM is saved in the line item as the final valuation difference.
Reversing exchange rate difference postings
You can define that the exchange rate differences posted are automatically reversed one day after the valuation run by an inverse posting.
You therefore have the option of determining exchange rate differences at any point in time without this valuation being taken into account for the creation of financial statements or for payment clearing.
To do this, select the indicator Reverse postings on the Postings tab.

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.

Customisation for foreign currency revaluation

I have to post the revaluation for GL accounts like VAT gl accounts to a GL account XXX. I have maintained the GL accounts for which reval needs to be calculated in the variant of the job FAGL_FC_VALUATION . after this, where this account XXXX should be maintained ?

Hi Rudra,
It is not for all GL's that system will carry out revaluation. Only when you define the GL's in customizing in SPRO will you get the revaluation done in FAGL_FC_VALUATION.
For this Go to
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide  Financial Accounting(New)  General Ledger Accounting(New)  Periodic Processing  Foreign Currency valuation  Prepare Automatic Postings for Foreign Currency Valuation
On the Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Postings-Procedures, choose Transaction KDF and make the entries:-
You need to maintain One Gain/Loss account which is a P/L account and that gets posted when you make payments during the month and it is realized gain/loss. But if you want to post it at month end for open items then you need to enter in val Loss 1/Val Gain 1 and this GL gets posted when you run this transaction FAGL_FC_VALUATION.
Bal Sheet Adjust.1 is the account to which AR/AP adjustment is posted to.
Hope this helps..

GR/IR Foreign Currency Valuation

Should the GR/IR account be considered for foreign currency valuation?? Right now I have them to accept "Balaces in local currencies only" Would they be valuated or I will have to unselect that check box?
Also, I have other Balance sheet GL accounts which have "Balances in local currency only". Would I have to uncheck that to do the foreign currency valuation??

Did you get the solution for this, if so can you please share with us!

Foreign Currency Valuation for G/L Balances

Dear all,
Iu2019m facing the following problem.
Iu2019ve to execute the Foreign Currency Valuation (T-CODE: FAGL_FC_VAL) for the G/L Balances.
I have two items:
Item 1
Currency: USD
G/L Account: A483000006
New Difference after valuation: -100u20AC
Item 2
Currency: USD
G/L Account: A483000006
New Difference after valuation: -120u20AC
The result is : 1 postings with 4 items
A483000006 -100u20AC
Value Loss       100u20AC
A483000006 -120u20AC
Value Loss       120u20AC
The problem is that I would that the foreign valuation posting for G/L Balances should be done for the Cumulative balance of the G/L Accounts (for the same currency) and not for every items (like for open items):
A483000006 -220u20AC
Value Loss      220u20AC
Is it possible to modify the behaviour of the program?
Thanks in advance
Alberto

Hi,
Please check your valuation method settings, it has a option to do posting based on balance and disable/unselect post per line item.

Foreign currency valuation for GR/IR clearing account is repeatedly posting

While executing foreign currency valuation (program SAPF100) through T code F.05 the following fields are selected for the spotted rate valuation for currency type 10.
A)     Valuate G/L account open items
B)     Evaluate GR/IR account (GR/IR clearing account is selected)
C)     Valuate customer open items
After execution the valuation postings are repeated in GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adj account while the postings in other accounts occur only once.
GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adjustment account is configured in OB09 for GR/IR account for respective currency type and local currency.
What could be the reason for repeated postings in FC valuation account?

I think there is some issue with the process, normally vendor/customer reconciliation account or some liability assets related account which has impact due to foreign currency rate changes needs to be revaluated. I don't understand why you have set up foreign currency valuation for GR/IR account, these are intermediatory account which reflects in system between for example GR and IR.
I also think that you need more information on foreign currency valuation, basically it happens on a particular key date and gets reversed on key date + 1, because revaluation is only required on a key date for reporting purposes. on the next day it get reversed and actual loss or profit on foreign currency only gets booked on realization.
Hope this helps!!!

Foreign currency valuation (new) for vendors and costumers open items

Dear friends,
Is there any option that when i run the foreign currency valuation program (fagl_fc_val) for vendors and costumers open line items not to generate the reverse posting? I have read in the sap library that the reverse posting is optional and the when you pay the invoice the system works the difference out between the valuation and the exchange rate of the payment, but i can not find it in customizing.
thanks in advance
marc

I also like to add that it is best to post reversal because normally the revaluation entry is posted on the last date of the month and the reversal entry is posted on the first day of the following month, which means that the following month will have a new entry on the last date independent of the entry made in the prior month.
The idea of posting the valuation entry is to value the customer and vendor open items which were posted (let us say 3 months ago in a foreign currency) with the latest exchange rate as of the end of the month. This way these payables and receivables stand corrected.
Is there any reason why you don't want to post the reversal entry?

Foreign Currency valuation accounting entries

Dear friends
At the time of revaluating foreign currency at period end, an accounting entry gets generated, which is reversed on 1st day of the next period. As per my understanding, the entry is as below -
Forex Loss Dr
Vendor Adjustment A/c
My question is whether the Vendor adjustment G/L is a Recon a/c? Also, in what transaction code, this customization is done?
Thanks in advance
Amit
