Foreign Exchange Valuation(OBA1)

[former_member219729]

Hello All Experts,

Could you please help me to understand:

1) the difference between "Exch. Rate Diff. using Exch. Rate"(KDB)-(Where /when it is used)

and "Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct"(KDF) in Foreign Exchange Valuation.

2)Also the use of different sections  in the "Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct"(KDF)" like:

• Exchange rate difference realised (Where/when it is used)
• Valuation (Where/when it is used)
• Translation (Where/when it is used

It would be greatful if you can explain with an example.

Many Thanks and Regards

Hi,

In simple terms

Exchange rate GL accounts will hit at the time of clearing transactions, like GR/IR clearing items in foreign currency.

Valuation GL accounts hit at time of  foreign currency valuation

Balance sheet item hits at time of adjustments postings for foreign currency.
