3426799 - Whether Down Payments can be Excluded from the Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run

Symptom

Whether down payments can be excluded from the Foreign Currency Remeasurement run.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Payables work center.
  2. Go to Foreign Currency Remeasurement Runs view.
  3. Execute a Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run for supplier ABC (ABC represents the supplier account ID).
  4. Check the log result.
  5. Under Processed Successfully tab, see that the down payment 123 is also included in the run (123 represents the down payment ID).

Cause

Currently it is the system design to include down payments in a Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run. There is no option to only exclude down payments from the run.

Resolution

Although down payments are considered in the Foreign Currency Remeasurement Run, there is a settings to decide whether the postings need to be reversed in the subsequent period.

The settings that define whether or not the Foreign Currency Remeasurement run postings are reversed in the subsequent period are maintained in business configuration, as follows:

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to Implementation Projects view.
  3. Open activity list.
  4. Open activity Foreign Currency Remeasurement Methods for Cash.
  5. Click Assign remeasurement method to accounting principle.
  6. Select the respective accounting principle.
  7. Go to tab Use for Cash
  8. Refer to column No Subsequent Reversal Posting.

If this checkbox is flagged for the respective accounting period, the foreign currency remeasurement run postings are not reversed in the subsequent period and differences are not carried over through time.
