Advantages of using "Exchange" account type

I'm trying to determine the best way of using Mail in a predominantly Outlook/Exchange environment. I see that Mail has an "Exchange" account, and describes it as follows:
An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server.
Is this really all it does? Hide the folders like "Journal", "Notes", etc? Why doesn't it hide "Calendar"? Is there some flag one can set on a folder to mark it as an Exchange folder?
Are there any other advantages of using the "Exchange" account type as opposed to an IMAP account?

Turns out the Exchange account type ignores folders like Contacts, Journal and so on (but not Calendar or Sync Issues. Grr.

Can't Send Attachments Using Exchange Account

For some reason I can't send attachments using my Exchange account on my iPhone. Pictures, Word docs, Excel Docs, doesn't matter. They just get stuck in my out box and I get the following message, "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message." I can receive attachments just fine, but cannot send or forward them. If I use any of the other email accounts on my phone, it works fine. The Exchange account is the only issue. Is this some limitation with Exchange on an iPhone or something? Anyone ever have the same problem as was able to fix it? Thanks!

I've got 38 iPhones deployed running the 3.1.2 OS against an Exchange 2007 server. Several of my users complain about the same issue, and I've seen it myself. I have found a workaround of sorts - I've found that if I've sent a message with an attachment and I get a failure to send, if I manually browse down to the Sent Items folder, that forces a replication of the Sent Items. The next time I do a manual sync, the e-mail with the attachment will go.
I presume this has something to do with Exchange trying to put a copy of the e-mail in to your Sent Items at the same time the iPhone is trying to send the message.
Potentially, this might be solved by turning off the option to always store your sent e-mails in the Sent Items. I have not yet tested that as a workaround as from a corporate standpoint and an ease-of-use standpoint, we want that e-mail in the Sent Items for reference.
If anyone has any success with this fix, please let me know.

Exchange account type - web dav?

Hi All,
I assume when I create an "Exchange" account in Mail it is communicating with the Exchange server via web dav. confirm / deny?
-Mike

Deny.
Mail uses IMAP, not WebDAV.
If you need WebDAV, you're stuck using Entourage for now.

Encoding problem when forwarding mails with attachments using exchange account

Hi,
I'm facing a special misbehaviour of mail. Scenario: With Apple Mail 7.2 I would like to forward an exchange mail with attachments. The mail is wirtten in german and uses german special characters like äüöÄÖÜ. During editing the mail everything is ok which means all characters are shown in thte correct way. When I send the mail, something magic must happen in the background.
When I look in the sent mail folder and open the mail, all special characters are show as "?". Must be an encoding problem, I gues but I don't know how to fix it.
When I send exactly the same mail with another Apple mail account (non exchange), there is no problem. So I assume it has something to do with handling exchange accounts under Apple mail.
Any idea to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
Br,
Jakob

This is a know issue with Yahoo! Email on the iPhone. When sending email, sometimes it will say it has been sent, while it really has not (and it will not show up in the sent folder).
It has been discussed quite a bit in the forums, so a search will turn up a lot of discussion, but no solid solution. Some say Yahoo is working on a fix, other that Apple is.
The most common solution (which is usually temporary), is to either reboot your phone, and/or delete and reinstall your Yahoo! Mail account on your phone.

Battery draining when using Exchange account

Hi,
I'm currently using a iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3. I alos syncronize it with a MS Exchange account (manual).
For the last 3 months or so, my battery seems to drain. It seems as if the connection between the phone and the exchange server doesn't disconnect after I've been searching or scrolled in the contact list.
I've tried the following actions but with no effect:
- Rebooting the phone
- Restore to a new phone
- Uninstall the exchange account, reboot and install the account again (makes it work for a few days in best case)
- Close all open applications
- Set the sync between the phone and the exchange account to manual (also in advanced settings)
- Manually drain the battery to empty and after that charged to full
I would be very greatfull for any tips, hints etc since I have to use the phone in my work.
Kind Regards PelleM

Here's a "me too" post. I'd love to hear if anyone makes headway with this. I am the outside Mac geek for a company that has an exchange server, mostly PCs and a handful of Macs and iPhones. All the iPhones are working like a champ save one on which the Mail application periodically stops working with the Exchange account. The calendar and contacts from the exchange account continue to sync just fine, but mail app will simply remain blank when the user clicks on the inbox.
I've been able to kill the account (on the phone) and re-setup and it'll work for 2-3 weeks and then one day simply stop. I've restored the iPhone to factory defaults twice now. This past time I've not restored the contents of the phone from a backup, but rather set it up as a new phone. We'll see if that makes a difference. I've also setup the Exchange mail account as an IMAP account as a backup. Other accounts continue to work just fine when this happens--it's just the Exchange mail account that flips out.
At any rate, if anyone has any additional info/experiences, please post as I'd be curious. I'm hoping this most recent reset will do the trick, but I'm not confident it will.
Cheers,
Stephen

Help....Mail goes crazy after update when using exchange account

Since I updated to 10.5.5 my exchange account goes haywire regularly. I was able to get it back up the last time it happened by moving to a IP address for my outgoing server, but this time nothing is working. Any suggestions????

Sry for beeing a bit unclear, still early in the morning :P
I´d try this:
go to ~/Library/Prefrence/ delete "com.apple.mail.plist", log out and back in again, launch Mail
Still dont work?
Go to Mail Prefrences/Accounts/ delete your account and set it up again

Cannot use Microsoft Exchange account to connect to Google Apps hosted accounts.

I am the Desktop and Device support Coordinator for my Department. We use Google Apps to host our email, calendar, docs, etc. On iOS and Android devices to connect we use an exchange account.
Email: [email protected]
Server: m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Username: username
And it works just fine. However when we give the touchpad the same info, we get an error, bad username or password. This is using passwords greater than 12 characters, with spaces and special characters.
Username: username
Email: [email protected]
Server: https://m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Any though on what we are doing wrong, or does webos exchange accounts not suppor this?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

First, changing the password and trying it again with the "Google" account type doesn't work. And it shouldn't, on every other device (Android, iOS) if we try it with the standard "Google" account it does not work.
Now on every other device we use the "Microsoft Exchange" account type and it does work. Because Google provides a Microsoft Exchange account to act as a connector to their services.
Remember, this is not a standard google account, this is an App account, and as such cannot use the standard google login. If I tried to login to any of our app service (mail.google.com, calendar.google.com, docs.google.com) from it's google site it fails. The only way we can access the account is through a special login page that ties into our single sign on (mail.example.com, cal.example.com, docs.example.com), or use the Exchange Connector.
Now if the Microsoft Exchange account connection does not work in webOs to connect to Google, great. We return our tablets, and discourage pre's. But I really like webOS and would really like to use the touch pad and keep my pre.

Different exchange rate type M in different company codes

Dear all,
I am facing the following very inconvenience problem:
I am an SAP consultant and has ALWAYS set up exchangre rate type M, the same rate used for all company codes in the Group.
My new customer wants to have different exhange rates for ALL company codes, that means we cannot use exchange rate type M for all company codes. All company codes in Sweden could have the same exchange rate type and so on, since all the rates within a country is updated with the rate from banks in the particular countries.
I think a solution could be to create worklists for every country and to always maintain all the rates against the local currencies within the country. This means in Sweden all the rates will be maintained against SEK, but never in any other way. That menas we can never maintain the rates from SEK to EUR in Sweden, we only maintain the rates against Sweden. I Finland however, all rates will be maintained against EUR (the local currency för all company codes in Finalnd).
Could this cause problems (or inconsistency) that incorrect rates will be used?
I am very very thankful for all help I can get in this question!
Best Regards, Åsa

Hi
Here you need to concentrate on Direct or indirect quotation
If you are using EUR to SEK (LC) - use direct quotation as 8.8307 1:1 relation
If you are using SEK to EUR - use indirect quotaion as 0.1132 1:1 relation
Pls let me know if you required further help

Exchange rate type for vendor invoice

Hi,
How to know which exchange rate type is being considered during postings vendor invoice in foreign currency.
Company code currency is EUR and I am posting an invoice in USD.
I checked OB08 and exchange rate with type M does not match with one calculated in FB60.
I checked document type KR (OBA7) -exchange rate type 'M' is mentioned.
I checked additional currencies for company code (OB22) - all currencies use exchange rate type 'M'
So how to check which exchange rate type is being used by system.
Thanks.

Hi
For posting vendor invoice which doc type are you using. If other than KR check that one also in oba7. And for OB08 you have to check for Ex rate M from EUR to USD what is the curr rate.

Payment Program and Spot Exchange Rate Type

Hi Everyone,
When performing wire transfers in foreign currency, my company wants to be able to have the payment program, F110, be able to convert the payment to the vendor based on the bank's spot rate at that moment in time. I found that we can use exchange rate type "G", update the rate within OB08 prior to running F110, input the exchange rate type "G" within the Parameter section within "Exchange rate type" and process the payment program as normal.
My question is this: We have a few separate companies that would use this feature with the possibility of receiving different rates from their respective banks. How would this work if 2 companies had 2 separate exchange rates for the same conversion on the same day? I found that once you enter in an exchange rate for a conversion, you are stuck with that rate for that particular day, so the amount can not be over written with another rate to be used by the second company code. Is there a way around this or is there a different way to accomplish the converting of currencies at the payment program?
Thanks.
Pete
Edited by: Peter Zaborowski on Sep 26, 2008 2:35 PM

Hi Peter
Use two different exchange rate type for bank1 and bank1. Upload the exchange rate into the system. Select house bank and specified rate type during the payment run.

Exchange Rate Type For MIRO

Hi, expert
My customer has a specific requirement. For AP, use exchange rate type B, for AR use exchange rate type G. The easist way is to set in the document type (Table T003), but this table is cross company code. Here only one company code need it.
So my proposal are following:
FI direct posting:
AR and AP exchange rate are substituted by a user exit. In the substitution, the field BKPF-KURSF should be release for substitution, change the table GB01
SD invoice posting:
Set Exchange rate type G in the customer master of sales area, then the AR is posted with exchange rate type G. The substitution in FI is not effective in SD invoice posting.
MM LIV posting:
During MIRO , the substitution in FI don't work here. and other User Exit not work.
Is there any other method to make sure the exchange rate type change to B in the MIRO?
Thanks!

Exchange Rate Type "EURX"

Hi,
I wonder if some more familiar with this issue and can help educate me on it. In the Enterprise Compensation Function module (and other standard deliver by SAP), HR_ECM_CONVERT_CURRENCY, it is hard code to use exchange rate type "M"
With that, in table TCURR, we maintain type M between all countries.
i.e.: USD to CHF
However, per SAP direction for EURO currency, it is best practice to use exchange rate type "EURX"
i.e.: USD to EUR
So my question is how can compensation module translate when they are hard code to use type "M" and "M" is not maintain between non-EURO and EURO?
Is there a linkage somewhere I do not see. Can someone shed some light into that?

Hi
Check OBBS transaction, have you maintained any alternative Exchange rate types?

Currency Conversion for Exchange rate type "AS02"

Hi Experts,
I am gonna post the most challenging problem (regarding currency conversion) I ever faced in my 1 year of BW Carrier.Kindly provide a solution.
There are three types of currency to be used in the query for Key Figure 0NET_VALUE (so total 3 Key Figures to be created)
   1.Document currency (may be any currency)
   2.Local Currency (must be EURO)
   3.Global Currency (must be USD)
From Document currency to Local Currency(EURO) we are using Exchange rate Type "M" (in Conversion Type created in Trans RRC1) [There is no problem in this conversion]
Problem starts now--->
From Local Currency(EURO) to Global Currency(USD) we have to use Exchange rate type "AS02" (in conversion type to be created in RRC1)
but there is a Business requirement that currency rate should be as per the last day of the entered period;and this logic should work for the range of periods also.
Example :
we are executing query for the period 006/2006 (posting Period)
Last day of this period is 06/30/2006,
Currency rate would be as per 06/30/2006
And this currency rate should be same throughout the period 006/2006 in query
The example was for single period,but logic must be incorporated for the range of the periods.

Hi..
There is no corresponding source key figure in the InfoSource for the target key figureof the InfoCube.
a. A source key figure of the same type can be assigned to the target key figure
(for example, sales revenue instead of sales quantity revenue).
If the currencies of both of the key figures are the same, no currency
translation can take place.
If the currencies are different, a translation can take place either using a
currency translation type or by simply assigning a currency.
The following table provides an overview of possible combinations with different
currencies in the source and target key figures:
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) No CT
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) CT or assignment
b. If there is no corresponding source key figure of the same type, then you have
to fill the key figure for the data target from a routine.
If the target key figure has a fixed currency, no currency translation is
carried out. This means that if translation is required, you have to execute
it in the routine.
If the target key figure has a variable currency, you also have to assign
a variable source currency to the routine. Using the F4 help you can
select a currency from the variable currencies in the communication
structure. You have two options:
You can select a variable currency and assign it.
You select a currency translation type and a currency into which you
wish to translate (To currency).
The To currency is, by default, the target currency if it is included in the
communication structure.
Creating a Routine for Currency Translation:
If you want to translate currencies in the update even though the currency translation is not
available for one of the above reasons, you can create a routine. Choose Routine, set the
Unit Calculation in the Routine and choose Create Routine. In the routine editor you get
the additional return parameter UNIT, the value of which is used to determine the target
1. save the query and it under role
   see to it is in   : Restricted and calculated key figures --->   properties of k.f
2. exeute the query
3. the currency translation --> by target currency usd choose OK
conversion type : MEANTODAY Fixed target currency current date (MT)
4. Go back to the query definition by chossing chage query ( global definiton)
5. in the context menu for % share sales vouume of incoming orders, choose properties --> formula collision --> result form this formula choose OK
Note that -
your should alos set the currency translation in the properties for the two key figures sales voule EUR , choose properties ---> currency conversion key : fixed target currency , currrent date ( MT) --> target currency : American Dollar . choose   OK
<b>The translation key is a combination of different parameters that establish how the exchange rate for the translation is executed.
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and the target currency, the exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.</b>
The source currency is determined from the data record or dynamically from the master data of the specified InfoObject (currency attribute)
The target currency can either be fixed in the translation key or selected at the time of translation.
You can also use an InfoObject (currency attribute) to determine the target currency.
The exchange rate type distinguishes exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame next to each other, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored and can be maintained in a central table (TCURV).
The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable
The fixed time reference can either be a fixed key date that is stored in the translation type, or be determined using the system date when executing the currency translation.
If the time reference is variable, then the point in time for the exchange rate determination comes from the value of a time characteristic (InfoObject). The reference can, for example, be the end or the start of a fiscal year or a calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. It can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject (for example, trading day).
Currency translation in the BEx
When selecting a translation key with a fixed target currency     this currency will be added automatically to the query definition
Also, you can use translation keys selecting their target currency at the time of translation. These can be applied in two different ways:
Selection of a specific target currency in the query definition (1)
Entry by variable (2)
Dynamic translation keys require input from the InfoCube !
InfoObject value will be read during query execution
Examples:
dynamic time reference (p.eg. 0CALDAY)
      time characteristic
target currency determined by InfoObject (currency attribute)
     characteristic which contains currency in its attribute table
the corresponding InfoObject has to be part of the InfoCube
1.Define the currency attribute in the InfoObject maintenance
The currency attribute has to be a unit InfoObject of type currency
The unit InfoObject must be an attribute of the characteristic
The currency attribute should be filled in the master data table of the corresponding InfoObject (manual maintenance or upload via InfoSource)
2.Enter the InfoObject in the translation key maintenance
Only InfoObjects with a currency attribute can be used in translation keys (p.eg. 0COMP_CODE)
At the time of currency translation the value for the source currency / target currency is then derived for every record from the master data table of the specified InfoObject
All values for a query are translated ad hoc (after having executed the query) using a translation key
Depending on the translation key a fixed target currency will be used for translation or you will be able to select the target currency
The ad hoc currency translation offers only restricted functionality (selection of translation key and target currency) compared to the currency translation in the query definition
Do not forget to create your translation keys before starting your work in the Business Explorer Analyzer
Example:
You load the following record to your InfoCube:
Company Code:                1000
Amount in Source Currency:      500,-
Source Currency:                FRF
Target Currency:               ?
In the Update rules, you are now using a translation key which derives the target currency from the InfoObject 0COMP_CODE. During the Update Process the target currency will then be read for Company Code 1000 from the master date table of 0COMP_CODE.
With the currency translation in the Business Explorer, the source currency can currently only be determined from the data record.
Only translation keys with a fixed exchange rate type can be used in the BEx
Translation keys with a dynamic time reference (from an InfoObject) can only be used in the query definition. It is not possible to fill the InfoObject by a variable !
Translation keys getting their target currency from a currency attribute can only be selected in the query definition
When getting the dynamic reference from an InfoObject (p.eg. 0CALDAY) the currency translation will apply to each record read from the database. That means it will use the date in this record for the currency translation.
When using a variable you will restrict the output of your query to a certain amount of data. For example, you would translate all invoices of March 11 with the translation date March 11
This means, the requirement show me all invoices in my cube in group currency, conversion date: 14.07.2001 could not be solved by a variable input for 0CALDAY
I hope this would help...
with regards,
hari

Exchange rate type determination

Hi,
Just wanted to know how a exchange rate TYPE is determined by SAP in sales order or any FI document?
Currently for us, the exchange rate type used by SAP is EURX and I am wondering how this type is determined (not type M), if:
1. Nothing is defined in customer master
2. Nothing is defined in Additional Local currencies (OB22)
The company is Poland and company code currency is EUR. Is it to do anything with Euro currency.
Please help me?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
The system by default uses Exchange Rate Type M for any currency translation in the system. You can use a different exchange rate type in your system, instead of Type M, by defining the alternative exchange rate type in transaction code OBBS.
Please assign points.
Thanks,
Madhav Nanduri

Exchange Rate Type Specific for ICB

Hi fiends,
In our company, we're currently using exchange rate type USDX (it was defined in OBBS, where the exchange rate type "M" is assigned to "USDX" (which we're updating on a daily basis).
However, for the ICB (intercompany business process) I don't wanto to use the exchange rate type USDX, I want to use the exchange rate type ICB, which we will maintain on a periodic basis.
What customzing should I activate to enable the system to distinguish when to use the the ICB exchange rate type (for ICB PO's)?
I don't can't default the exchange rate type in the document type level (OBA7), because we use the same document type for ICB and non-ICB PO's.
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Hi Alex,
You should update the OB22 and assigned the parallel currencies with the right Exchange rate. Instead of assign USDX or M, you might choose another ExRteType for this inrco comapany.

Pedro
