In this activity you define the numbers of the accounts to which you want the system to automatically post exchange rate differences when open items and foreign currency balances are valuated.
You can also define the expense and revenue accounts to which realized exchange rate differences (that arise when open items are cleared) are posted. For more information, refer to the activity Define Accounts for Exchange Rate Differences in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Implementation Guide.
The accounts that are posted to (see account determination) when open items are valuated and exchange rate differences are posted can be defined per currency type. Gains from exchange rate fluctuations are then posted to different accounts, depending on whether the gains are in local currency or group currency.
When valuating open items the system posts to a balance sheet adjustment account and to an account for exchange rate differences determined during the valuation (these are either revenue or expense items). You define the account numbers accordingly.
For the valuation of foreign currency balances you define revenue and expense accounts to which exchange rate differences (determined during the valuation of foreign currency balances) are posted. You define these accounts under a key. You then enter this key in the accounts to be valuated. If the exchange rate differences determined for a group of G/L accounts are posted to the same expense and revenue accounts, enter the same key in the accounts to be valuated. This key is user-defined.
Note
You can differentiate the accounts by currency. Exchange gains and losses are then posted to the accounts designated for the currency involved. You must not change your accounts for the valuation posting after the first valuation run has taken place, since the postings can otherwise not be reversed.
If you do not want to differentiate the accounts by currency, you require an entry with the currency "blank" (this is the default value). The "exchange rate differences" key in the company code-dependent part of the G/L accounts must also be empty.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard system, posting keys have already been defined for the valuation postings of the open items and balances.
Activities
- Determine the accounts to which exchange rate differences are to be posted and enter the respective account numbers. Check whether the posting keys defined are correct. To access the entry screen, choose Goto -> Posting keys.
- Make sure that the accounts for the exchange rate difference postings are created.
- Make sure that the required exchange rate difference key is entered in the accounts to be valuated.
Additional information
