Foreign Exchange Valuations

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a requirement where we have the usual maintenance of budget rates for on which all transactions are to take place - so I would mainitain values for the M rate in OB08.

Then at month end, they would run the FAGL_FC_VAL transaction to post to the gain/loss account on revaluation.

So far its standard - however, apart from this M rate, they want to maintain another rate and at month end want to derive a report between the fluctuations of transactions between M rate and this new rate and this doesnt have to post to GL. its just a report.

so would that be that i create another valuation method and make sure it doest post...? Is this possible at all...

Can anyone please guide me on this

Thank you

Hi Rukshana,

1. Use a new exchange rate type other than M, maintain exchange rate value for same in OB08,

2. Copy the valuation method you are using and in that put this new xchange rate type

3. Run the Foregin currency valuation with this new valuation method, uncheck postings related settings which doing the same, you will see the intermediate report, use this report.

Thanks

hi,

one thing beats me is are you going to make postings using this new exchange type???

No we wont this transaction to do any postings

It will be just to derive a report based on another exchange rate.

The only rate that will be used to post to GL will the M rate.

pretty well, in dat case you dont have to create any valuation method since its required for posting purposes. you can go ahead with creating a new type and put rates into it.

Hi Sayeed

since you wont be having the case of g/l postings you can ask an abaper to prepare a report as " ex. rate type comparision" where the values will be picked from the actual tables depending upon the period and ofcourse ask the abaper to prepare a seperate column for displaying the difference between the two TYPES.... as there is no report to my knowledge dat will allow comparision between ex. rate types.

hope it helps
