Remarks
KDB is for Bank balance
KDF is for open item (incl bank clearing)
Therefore we should not set main bank
account (which normally is line item display
and not open item managed) in KDF, as it
already taken into account by KDB.
If we set main bank account to KDF, the
revaluation will take over and book
revaluation value to the following GL
account: 28000000 and 17900000

Dear All,
In my last implementation I was involved in configuring "Foreign Currency Valuation".
I would like to share my knowledge
During foreign currencies valuation, all the OPEN ITEMS that were posted in a foreign currency are valuated at the date when
executed. All OPEN ITEM loss or gain are posted temporally at month end and revered the next day.
You will need to create some new GL accounts for Loss/Gain on exchange and Account to post Adjustment in Balance Sheet
From the user side Transaction Code F.05 - Valuation of Open Items in Foreign Currency is used.
The menu path is: Accounting > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Periodic Processing > Closing > Valuate > F.05 Foreign Currency Valuation - The two important details in the General Selection are the Valuation Method & Valuation Area
(both details are extracted thru configurations)
The configuration for Valuation Method is done in SPRO, TCode OB59 (Defining Valuation Method) - This is where you define
your Evalution Method - how do you wish your currencies to be evaluate. By default we will used EVR and KTO (You may
double click to review the details)
Now type TCode OBA1 - Prepare Automatic Postings for Foreign Currency Valuation.
The two transaction used are
1. KDB - Exch. Rate Diff. using Exch. Rate Key
2. KDF - Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct
Let starts with "KDF" A pop window will pop, type in your Chart of Accounts.
Here you will list all the A/R GL that involved transactions dealing in foreign currencies.
