As part of peridic processing in JVA, international region companies re-valuate the following types of foreign currency exchange differences:

  • Realized exchange differences (JVA function: RXD)
  • Unrealized exchange differences (JVA function: UXD)
  • Non-open item unrealized exchange differences

The results of these valuations must be transferred to CO to keep CO records consistent with FI and JVA.

Example

Requirements

The account to which foreign currency exchange differences are initially posted must be set up in FI.

If a shadow account is to receive the result of JVA foreign currency exchange processing, this account must also be defined in FI.

The cost element to be used to transfer the results of JVA foreign currency exchange processing must be set up as a primary cost element in CO.

Standard settings

JVA provides a function for each major process that produces postings to the standard modules (FI, AM, MM, CO). These functions enable users to configure posting rules (posting keys, SEIs, recovery indicators) for postings that result from execution of the processes within JVA.

With regard to the foreign currency exchange processes in JVA, RXD is the function for realized exchange differences, and UXD is the function for unrealized exchange differences.

Recommendation

Activities

As part of configuring foreign currency exchange difference processing, you must specify the cost element to be used to transfer the results of each of the foreign currency exchange difference processes in JVA (RXD and UXD) to CO. You first identify the JVA process by function, then the account to which exchange differences were posted, and finally the CO cost element to be used to update records in CO.

You may also specify a shadow account to receive the posting resulting from exchange difference processing in JVA. Normally, the resulting entries are posted to the original exchange difference account.

In the Func field, enter the code for the JVA function for which the account, cost element, and shadow account used to post currency exchange differences to CO will be specified.

In the Orig. XD field, enter the code for the account to which the currency exchange differences to be posted to CO were originally posted in FI.

In the Trans. CE field, enter the code for primary cost element to be used to post the results of currency exchange difference processing to CO.

In the Shadow Acc field, enter the code for the account to which the results of currency exchange difference processing will be posted.

Further notes

You must also specify posting rules for the JVA functions (RXD, UXD, COAC) for the foreign currency exchange processes.
