SAP R/3 4.7 – F.05 (ZF05) - Bank Foreign Currency Valuation

Screenshots Remarks

KDB is for Bank balance

KDF is for open item (incl bank clearing)

Therefore we should not set main bank

account (which normally is line item display

and not open item managed) in KDF, as it

already taken into account by KDB.

If we set main bank account to KDF, the

revaluation will take over and book

revaluation value to the following GL

account: 28000000 and 17900000

of 22


Example of wrong setting where the main

bank account (which normally is line item

display and not open item managed) was

set in KDF, OBA1.

The FAGL_FC_VAL (foreign exchange

revaluation) run does not capture the main

bank balance of 12067000 (CAD)

Dear All,

In my last implementation I was involved in configuring "Foreign Currency Valuation".

I would like to share my knowledge

During foreign currencies valuation, all the OPEN ITEMS that were posted in a foreign currency are valuated at the date when

executed. All OPEN ITEM loss or gain are posted temporally at month end and revered the next day.

You will need to create some new GL accounts for Loss/Gain on exchange and Account to post Adjustment in Balance Sheet

From the user side Transaction Code F.05 - Valuation of Open Items in Foreign Currency is used.

The menu path is: Accounting > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Periodic Processing > Closing > Valuate > F.05 -

Foreign Currency Valuation - The two important details in the General Selection are the Valuation Method & Valuation Area

(both details are extracted thru configurations)

The configuration for Valuation Method is done in SPRO, TCode OB59 (Defining Valuation Method) - This is where you define

your Evalution Method - how do you wish your currencies to be evaluate. By default we will used EVR and KTO (You may double

click to review the details)

Now type TCode “OBA1” - Prepare Automatic Postings for Foreign Currency Valuation.

The two transaction used are

1. KDB - Exch. Rate Diff. using Exch. Rate Key

2. KDF - Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct

Let starts with "KDF" A pop window will pop, type in your Chart of Accounts.

Here you will list all the A/R GL that involved transactions dealing in foreign currencies.

Click New Entries and mentioned

1. The A/R GL account

Then enter the Loss/Gain GL account and the Adjust. balance Sheet GL Account. Save and go back.

Repeat the same for all AR Accounts.

Click back twice and click at transaction KDB and mention the loss/gain GL account

I hope I am not missing anything.

Should anything be unclear to you please feel free to ask.

Be sure that you maintain the foreign currencies at TCode OBO8

Warm Regards

Comments Please !
