Use
All open items in foreign currency are valuated as part of the foreign currency valuation:
The individual open items of an account in foreign currency form the basis of the valuation, that is, every open item of
an account in foreign currency is valuated individually.
The total difference from all the open items in an account is posted to a financial statement adjustment account. The
account therefore retains its original balance.
The exchange rate profit or loss from the valuation is posted to a separate expense or revenue account for exchange
rate differences as an offsetting posting.

Features
Unrealized exchange rate differences
When we valuate open items in foreign currency, the exchange rate difference determined is posted as an unrealized
exchange rate difference.
Realized exchange rate differences
For an incoming payment, that is, when we are clearing the open items, the current exchange rate is determined. Since the
exchange differences that were not realized are reversed, the full exchange rate difference is posted as realized.

Reversing exchange rate difference postings


On the specified reversal date or in the reversal period, the posted exchange rate differences are automatically reversed
after the valuation run by an inverse posting.
Activities

The balance, that is, the foreign currency balance of the G/L account managed in the foreign currency, forms the
basis of the valuation for each foreign currency and foreign currency balance sheet account.
The result of the valuation is posted to the valuated account or to a adjustment account.
The exchange rate profit or loss from the valuation is posted to a separate expense or revenue account for
exchange rate differences as an offsetting posting.

BILL OF EXCHANGE

Posting Procedure for Bills of Exchange Receivable


For bills of exchange receivable, there are three events which are posted in Financial Accounting:

Payment by Bill of Exchange


Firstly, the payment by bill of exchange is posted and used to clear the receivable against the customer. There is a now a
bill of exchange receivable which is recorded on the customer account and the special G/L account.
Bill of Exchange Usage

If the bill of exchange is used for refinancing and is passed on to a bank, then the bill of exchange usage must be posted.
The bill of exchange liability (liability to recourse) that we now have is recorded on special accounts in the system until it
has expired.

Cancel the Bill of Exchange Liability

Once the due date of the bill of exchange has elapsed, including any country-specific period for the bill of exchange
protest, we can cancel the bill of exchange receivable for our customer and the bill of exchange liability.

Entries for Bill of Exchange Receivable


Assume we transfer the bill of exchange receivable to our bank for discounting. The bill amount is credited to our bank
account and shown on our bank statement. Given a maturity period of 90 days and a discount rate of 7 %, the bank charges
a discount of USD 199.50. The bank also levies charges of USD 5.00 on we, which it adds to the discount charge, making a
total of USD 204.50.

The following entries arise from this example:


The incoming payment to our bank account is posted. The bank credits our account with USD 11,178.40 only, (USD 11,400
minus the bill of exchange charges). Once the incoming payment has been entered, the system posts the bank charges to
the corresponding expense accounts.
The system automatically posts an offsetting entry to a bank clearing account. This offsetting entry records the bill liability
(liability to recourse) to the bank. If our customer defaults on the bill of exchange when it becomes due, this liability to
recourse is realized and we are liable to pay the bill of exchange amount.
Reversing the Bill Liability
After the bill of exchange becomes due on September 13th and the country-specific bill protest period has elapsed, the bill
of exchange can no longer be protested and we are released from our potential liability. We can now clear the potential bill
liability from our bank clearing account and the bill receivable from the customer account. When we reverse the potential
bill liability, the system automatically posts to the special G/L account "Bills of exchange receivable" and clears the bill
receivable there.

The following entries arise from this example:


We select the bill of exchange, the date of which has elapsed (including any protest period). The system generates a
reverse posting for the bank sub account and for the customer account, and clears the bill of exchange liability from both
accounts.
The system also posts a credit entry for the bill of exchange amount to the customer account and the special G/L account
"Bills of exchange receivable".

Memorandum Entries (Noted Items - (F-49))

We can use the following navigation also.

These can be used for recording Bank Guarantee or any other entries which we don t want to post in the customer Account
and the general ledger A/c. It will be working as single sided entry.

These entries will have no effect on the Financial Books. We use them only for the record purpose and after the purpose is
over we can reverse the same

Create the transaction with the posting key as 09 or 19

And the Special GL Indicator as D

Customer Account Number and Amount is to be filled.

Fill in the Bank Guarantee Due Dates so that on the Maturity Date we can reverse the same.

Fill up the Bank Guarantee Number in the Assignment Field and Details in the Text Field.

This will be single screen entry and simulation is not there as it doesn t affect the finance Books.
Save the Document

For viewing the noted items we have to go to Line Item Display FBL5N - Display/ Change Line Items

Select the Noted Items for viewing only noted Items or select Normal Items and Noted Items for all the items.
We can view the noted Items in the Line item Display here it forms the part of the Customer Balance and effects the
balance of the Customer. If we want to see only Noted Items Click on Noted Items only and we can get the List of noted
Item.

Note : We can get the total listing for the Guarantees Received and Given / Taken.
On the other hand if we see the Customer Ledger Balance it does not incorporate these Noted Items / Memorandum
Entries

Go to FD10N - Display Balances and see the balance

In the Above statement it was showing balance of 108000 INR


And in the Customer Balance it is showing balance of 98,000 INR

Hence it does not affect our financial Books by using Noted Entries.
If we click on cumulative balance we can get the detail line item wise entry without noted items.
In general it appears as the open item as it cannot be matched with any finance transaction. For Removing the Line items
from this statement, on the lapse of the guarantee or the Maturity of the same we have to reverse the document so that
the effect is nullified.

Reversal of Noted Entries (FB08)

As normal documents are reversed we can same way reverse the Noted Entries by using FB08
Provide the Noted Item Document Number, Company Codes, Fiscal Year and Reversal Reason

Bills of Exchange liabilities are managed in SAP by first posting the payment through a Bill of Exchange to clear the receivable against the customer. If the bill is used for refinancing and passed to a bank, it should be posted to a special account until it expires. Once the due date and protest period have passed, liabilities are canceled by reversing the bill liability, clearing it from both the bank and customer accounts. The system posts the transaction back to the special G/L account ‘Bills of Exchange receivable’ .

The foreign currency revaluation impacts the General Ledger by altering the balance of foreign currency accounts based on current exchange rates. The process involves posting unrealized and realized exchange rate differences to separate financial statement adjustment accounts. Profit or loss from these valuations is posted to specific revenue or expense accounts, affecting the overall ledger balance. These valuations are reversed on specified reversal dates, maintaining the original balance while recording exchange differences .

Customer advance transactions in SAP are handled by using the T.code F-29, where a special GL indicator '2' is specified to accept transactions. The process involves simulating the entry to ensure correctness, and then saving the document to finalize the transaction. This method ensures that customer advances are accurately reflected in the books .

The entry of a customer invoice in SAP is reflected in the General Ledger by specifying the company code for which the invoice is being booked. The invoice number is entered in the Reference field, and the values in the Text field are printed on the Sales Invoice. After entering the income account in the next line item and clicking enter, the entry is posted to the General Ledger, where it can be viewed in Journal Ledger .

Handling foreign currency exchanges in SAP involves using the T.code 'FAGL_FC_VAL' for Foreign Currency Valuation. All open items in a foreign currency are individually valuated. The exchange rate differences are posted as unrealized or realized differences depending on item clearing and current rates. These postings affect a financial statement adjustment account and are recorded as expenses or revenue accounts for exchange rate differences .

Reversing contingent liabilities related to Bills of Exchange involves using transaction code F-20. The process starts by entering a '+' in the entry field to signify the reversal. The transaction is then saved, which eliminates the previously recorded contingent liability from the financial records, effectively clearing it from the General Ledger and the customer's account. This cancellation is essential after the maturity or protest period has elapsed .

Refunding an advance to a customer is done using transaction codes F-31 or F-18. This process is similar to making payments to a vendor, as it involves processing open items, selecting respective lines, and saving. The transaction for refunds can be processed using the navigation path, and like vendor payments, it requires selecting the appropriate lines to finalize the refund .

Printing pay-in slips in SAP involves entering the Bank GL Code, Company Code, Document Type, and Date to execute the report. This function is significant as it provides a record of bank transactions and receipts, ensuring transparency and accuracy in banking operations. It enables the reconciliation of bank statements with the organization’s records, thus maintaining financial integrity .

Maintaining exchange rates in SAP involves entering the exchange rate type, from and to currency codes, and saving the data. This procedure is necessary because it ensures accurate transaction posting and clearing using the current exchange rates. The exchange rates must exist in the system for transactions to be processed correctly. Adjustments occur at the client code level, affecting all company codes and maintaining consistency in financial reports .

Noted items in SAP are used for recording purposes only, such as documenting bank guarantees without affecting the customer account or the General Ledger. These entries have no effect on the financial books, appearing instead as single-sided entries for records. They need to be reversed upon maturity to nullify their effect on financial statements, and they do not contribute to the customer ledger balance .
