Foriegn Currency Valuation - Support Issue

During Foreign Currency valuation first we need to reverse the valuation done in the previous month. This is the case if it is a test run. For real valuation or productionrun we need not reverse the postings before starting valuation run as the postings will bereversed.

In the screen FAGL_FC_VAL there are three check boxes one - create postings, two -reset valuation and the other reverse postings. During the first run we select create postings and reverse postings specifying a reversal date. But due to somereasons may be error in valuation or changes etc etc we may need to reset the valuationrun done. For this we need to select reset valuation check box with a resetting reasoncode. Please note only Reset Valuation neither create postings nor reverse postings.Then the valuation will be reset and valutaion run can be done again with correctionsrequired.

If we reset valuation with the other two checkboxes active it will valuate and display thrice or four times and also sum up all the values - as per the previous valuation.

So must be careful while resetting the valuation run.

Authorization Group for Document Types

In certain Master data like Vendor, Customer, Document Types you will find a field “Authorization Group”. This au. Group is freely definable meaning you do not have to create in a separate table. This Au.Grp provides extended authorization for certain activities on the Objects.

For Eg.

Here I want to disallow a User1 to post a XY Document Type.

First just enter Authorization Group 0001 in XY Document Type Master.

Standard Authorization object for Document Types in SAP is F_BKPF_BLA. When you create a role you have to see that the authorization Object F_BKPF_BLA is maintained for your role. You can do this by checking Authorization data in the Role.

In the Authorization Object for F_BKPF_BLA, maintain the activity for Authorization Group 0001. You control this for Organization Levels like Company Code, Business Areas, and Profit Centers etc. If you want to allow another User to perform other activities, you can select that object again and enter required entries.

Now generate the profile and save. Now this particular profile is stored in the Role. Now enter the User1 in that Role under User Tab. You can skip this step if you do changes in the Authorization object from the User Master>Role>Authorization.

Don’t be assumed that it will overwrite any other authorization for that Document Type. So you have to make sure that the Authorization object is nullified/or changed to allow certain activity for that Authorization Group User1 in all the roles.

After generating the profile, perform User Comparison. This will check for the correct authorization profile has been updated in the all the User Master.
