Foreign exchange gain/loss on GR on purchase order

[Pushpa1]

Hello Gurus,

We have foreign currency purchase orders and requirement is to post the foreign exchange gain /loss at the time of Goods Receipt.

Exx. If PO is in EUR and at the time of PO exchang rate is 1EUR = 1:50 USD and at the time of GR .. the exchange rate changed to 1 EUR= 1:25.

We would like the exchange gain/loss posting to be created for the 0.25 exchange rate difference in the GOods Receipt posting.

As of now, the GR is just posting into inventory and GR/IR account. 

Is there a particular system config required to achieve above?

Thank you!

AFAIK it wouid require either

• Set the fixed rate on the Purchase Order
• Use some development (there is no clearing at posting of GR, but usually at IR wher the gain/loss is posted vs inventory account)

I did test with the fixed rate on PO. It’s just posts the inventory and PPV at PO rate but does not create the posting for exchange gain/loss.

There are many Customizing to analyze in your system such as exchange rate type, Did you already consider the Invoice Posting with a third exchange rate?

Did you already read 308008 - FAQ: Posting logic: GR/IR clearing account or 2684884 - Posting logic for exchange rate differences (moving average price material) ?

We are using M rate and there is no third currency to be used. These OSS notes are very old and pre-requisite is Material ledger is not active. We are in S4 HANA and material ledger is mandatory

I didn't mention a 3rd currency but a 3rd exchage rate (date)

1. PO creation date
2. GR date
3. IR date
