FINANCE: Currency Differences
When currency differences are posted, several parameters affect the way the entries in the General Ledger are created. This section explains the possible parameter settings:
-
Ledger accounts by currency
-
Writing off currency profits
-
Fixed exchange rate
-
Writing off currency differences for anticipated payments
1. Ledger accounts by currency
This parameter is recorded in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session.
If the Ledger Accounts Currency Differences by Currency check box is selected, the (un)realized currency differences are posted to the ledger accounts defined in the Currency Difference Ledger Accounts by Currency (tfgld0119s000) session.
LN retrieves the related dimensions from these sessions:
-
General Ledger: Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000)
-
Accounts Payable: Ledger Accounts by Business Partner Group (tfacp0111m000)
-
ACR: Ledger Accounts by Business Partner Group (tfacr0111m000)
If the Ledger Accounts Currency Differences by Currency check box is cleared, the currency differences are posted to:
-
General Ledger: the ledger accounts specified in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session.
-
Accounts Payable/ Accounts Receivable: the ledger accounts recorded for the business partner group.
2. Writing off currency profits
This parameter is defined in one of these sessions:
If the Currency Profits check box is selected, the unrealized currency profits are posted as well as the unrealized currency losses. Unrealized currency losses are always posted when writing off currency differences.
3. Fixed exchange rates
For each invoice, the rate determiner defines:
-
Which date is used to determine the exchange rate.
-
If currency differences are calculated.
-
For which (home) currencies the currency differences are calculated.
The Rate Determiner is set in the Sales Invoices (tfacr1110s000) session or the Purchase Invoice Entry (tfacp2600m000) session.
Unrealized currency differences are written off in one of these sessions:
4. Writing off currency differences for anticipated payments
This parameter is defined in one of these sessions:
If the Currency Difference Anticipated Payments check box is selected, invoices with anticipated payments or anticipated receipts are considered for writing off currency differences.
OPERATIONS: Pegging Material Supply Lines for Operation and Product Subcontracting
For project pegged production orders, operations can be subcontracted. The material delivered to the subcontractor can be project pegged or anonymous. The subassemblies that are sent and retrieved are always project pegged. Costing breaks can apply to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.
For product subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project pegs, or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.
In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. For a specific purchase order line (detail) and material sequence, the material supply line's Order and Consumption quantities are distributed across the peg distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element, and/or project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the material supply line quantity by peg. The peg distribution cannot be manually created and must always be generated using the parent.
For operation subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the linked peg distributions are generated by Job Shop Control and can only be updated by Job Shop Control.
For product subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the peg distributions are generated by Procurement. A material supply line's peg distribution can be updated only from the parent, that is the purchase order line, the purchase order line peg distribution, or the material supply line. If a purchase order line's distribution line is changed, and no quantities are received or consumed yet, the pegged fields on the linked material supply lines are synchronized to the updated distribution line in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session. However, if a different quantity distribution is applicable, the quantities of the material supply lines' distribution lines are redetermined in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.
TECHNOLOGY: Load Audit Tables for Profile (ttaud3220s000)
Use this session to load tables for an audit profile.
Usually this session is run from the Specific menu of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. The selected profile in that session is displayed in the first line of the current session.
The result of loading the tables depends on the selection level you use in the current session. For each element on the lowest selection level, a line is created in the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. For example, if you select a package and a number of modules, a line is created for each module. Because you did not specify the tables, the All check box is selected.
Field Information
- Profile: The audit profile for which the tables are loaded.
Note: If you start the current session from the appropriate menu of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000), the profile displayed is the profile that is selected in that session.
- Package: The package that contains the tables you want to load.
- Module: The module that contains the tables you want to load.
- Table: The tables you want to load.
- Audit Type: The audit type that must be set for the tables that are loaded.
Note: You can either select Always, or Changed. However, it is also possible to determine the audit type per field. This is the Not Applicable option in the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you want to set the audit type per field, you must change the audit type to Not Applicable after the tables are downloaded, and then specify the audit type per field in the Audit Fields by Table (ttaud3125m000) session.
