Exchange Rate issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am getting a exchange rate gain. please check m scenario below and give some input:

Document Posting date Currency Exchange rate Local currency

Credit Memo 30.05.2007 CHF 2.99300 AED

Invoice 24.09.2007 CHF 2.99300 AED

Adj Entry 14.07.2009 CHF 3.38673 AED

Clearing Doc 14.07.2009 CHF 3.38673 AED

As per the above entry the debit and credit entry to the account is with the same exchnage rate and still they is creating the exchnage gain at the time of clearing.

Please take example as posting amount as 1000 CHF and reply.

Please check the TCURR table or any Z table which may have date from which the currency rates change. If the currency rate changes then there is again.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

yes there is a obvious gain in the currency translation, but i m not able to understand the gain amount.

Here translation is happening like : Foreign Currency / Translation ratio = Document Currency.:

like the translation at the time both the doc posted was: 2.99300 and at the time of clearing is was 3.38673.

So what should be the exchange gain if the transaction amount is 1000.

Please let me know if more details required.

Hi,

As per my information the entry amount at the time of clearing should be: difference between the translation retio * transaction amount.

am i right?

I hope if you are clearing date should be the invoice date then there will be no gain or loss

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Here, the situation is not clear. Please try to visualise the issue.

Generally if there is exchange gain/loss at the time of clearing then the posting will happen to the realised account maintained in OBA1.

here I am having excange rate gain but the posting is happening to account whihc we maintain for realised exchange gain and the opposite entri is posting to the G/L account "Bal.sheet adj.1". this i m not able to understand.

What i could find is:

Here both the documents are billing document (DR), one is advance payment and the other is a billing docuemnt for the sales order.

now we are having two opposite entries for the advance payment Account. when we clear this entries it is posting some exchange gain and other to the "Bal.sheet adj.1".

Please try to give your input if you can.

Thanks!
