I have a question related to exchange gain loss on foreign payment.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our SAP is doing entry at the time of invoice processing of foreign vendor when GRN is already done.

Cr Vendor

DR GR/IR

DR OR CR (basis on Exchange gain/loss) Inventory account or sometime inventory variation P/L GL?

Now we are trying to understand on which basis SAP is doing this process? sometime charge to inventory GL and sometime charge gain/Loss inventory variation P/L account ?

Dear Ammar,

Please, have a look into the OSS Note 128 - Exchange rate differences between GR/invoice

Maybe you can find the answer in there.

Best regards,

hi

SAP provided field BSEG-KTOSL to store "Transaction" information particularly for automatic postings, which helps in understanding source of the postings. Can you provide transaction information for both above scenarios to see if this helps to find reason for auto postings.
