F.05 - Foreign Currency Valuation

Functionality

At month end, you have to carry out a foreign currency valuation. This process valuates all
transactions posted in foreign currency. To perform the valuation you should enter an
exchange rate for the end of the month.
This valuation covers the following accounts and items:
1. Foreign currency balance sheet accounts
2. Open items posted in foreign currency (Vendors and customers)

You have the following options for the foreign currency valuation:
a) You can carry out the valuation in local currency, (company code
currency),
b) You can valuate in parallel currency (for example, group currency).

You can also use different valuation methods (for example, lowest value principle).

The posting of valuation is done by a batch input session. It is recommended that you run
each valuation separately, for e.g. you will create a separate batch input for customer open
items, then another one for vendors and another one for GL.

Scenario

At every month end closing (where balance sheet and profit & loss account is reported
monthly) you need to perform a foreign currency valuation for GL, customer and vendor
open items.

Requirements

GL, Customer and Vendor Master, the accounting transactions posted in foreign currencies
(different than company code currency). Configuration done for foreign currency valuation.
