Customized Exchange rate type in FICO

Hello Experts,
We have been using Standard exchange rate type M and MS in our SD and FICO Configuration.
Is it possible to use customised exchange rate type say Z in FICO configuration?
Please advise.
Regards,
UR

hi
the standard exchange rate in fi are
g..bank buying(bank is buying....exports)
b...bank selling (bank is selling ..imports)
m...average
1.for any foreign exchange traslation we first have to define the above exchage rate in ob07
2.we have to give the traslation ratios (obbs)
3.we have to give the exchage rates (ob08)
answer to u r question..
1st there should be a system defined  exchage rates types for the currency u r conversion.
example
usd to inr ...for this coversion u should define for g..b..m.
then after that u can use u r own user defined variables...(only after the sytem defined is declared.
if why is u r anwer
system takes the standard rate m if there is no conversion type found in the document types.
thanks

  • Default customized exchange rate type

    Hi friends,
    I have an issue during an implementation.
    I want to use a customized exchange rate type for all forex transactions for only 1 company code in the system having several company codes. Please let me know how do i set the customized exchange rate type as default for a particular company code
    Regards
    Srinivasan

    Hi,
    SAP has defaulted exchange rate type M in the function module. So if exchange rate type is not assigned to a document type, default M is picked.
    In case you want to have a default ex rate type other than M, that too for a particular co.code within the client, you would have to use specific document type to which this new rate type is assigned.
    There is no other way out.
    Hope it resolves your issue.

  • Custom Exchange Rate Type for Purchase Order

    Hi
    Our Financial Team doesn't want to change the Exchange Rates on a daily basis, but for place purchase orders with our overseas vendors we need the daily spot rate loaded in the system. 
    Is there way to configure a different exchange Rate type ?  and use this Exchange Rate Type for Purchase Order to use instead of Default type "M"?
    Thanks...

    Found a soluntion ...
    I have coded userexit EXIT_SAPLMEKO_001 component LMEKO001, to fill in Exchange Rate type in the Communication Structure "e_komk-kurst".
    Update Exchange Rate Type "ZCUS" under SPRO and updated exchanges in TCURR table for this type.  Then, everything else works like a charm.

  • Exchange rate type for version - error message GP541 during confirmation

    Hi FICO Experts,
    I bumped into a problem during confirmation in CO15. (I would like to get the SFG by mvt 101 and consume the raw material by 261).
    The error messase I get is:
    Maintain the exchange rate type for version 000 in 2009
    Message no. GP541
    Diagnosis
    You want to use plan version 000 with controlling area 1000 in fiscal year 2009.
    You have not specified an exchange rate type for this plan version for fiscal year 2009. Since the update of all currencies in 2009 is active in the control indicators of the controlling area, currency conversions are possible and sometimes also needed.
    It is therefore necessary to specify an exchange rate type for plan version 000 in year 2009.
    System Response
    The system will not accept your entry.
    Procedure
    1. Please maintain plan version 000 first using the function 'Change Plan Version', or
    2. correct your typing error.

  • 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

  • Selling Exchange rate type is not picking while billing

    Hi,
    We have maintained Exchange rate type B for selling and the same was assigned in customer master as well as the RV document type. While raising sale order system is picking the B rate from OB08 table, but at the time of billing system is taking the M rate. Where do i set a control to pickup only B rate? Can anybody help me on this.
    govind.

    Hi,
    Ideally at the time of billing, exchange rate type is picked up from the document type (RV in your case). However if the rate is picked up for standard exchange rate type, check if there is user exit being called for exchange rate type.
    Thanks,
    Aman

  • Foreign Exchange Rate Type - M and EURO

    Hi All,
    My customer is maintainng the M exchange rate type as
    1 USD = 106 JPY
    along with this they are maintiaing a extra Exchange rate Type EURO as
    106 JPY = 1 USD
    Comany Code Currency is JPY.
    In the document Type level they are not maintaing any of the exchage rate type. Means system is picking default exchnage rate type. As we know M is the default exchange rate type.
    So, now customer doesnt want to maintain the EURO exchange rate type.
    So,  i want to know
    1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
    2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
    3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
    4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
    Looking for early response.
    Sachin

    1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
    <There is no impact as long as this is not used by any other applications. For eg, In controlling, project system, budget, at FI document type level etc, we have option of choosing different exchange rate.
    2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
    No relation
    3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
    < You can see this at Table level eg - BKPF. But at front end I dont think it is possible atleast upto 4.6C4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
    <To my knowledge, System will not allow to maintain rates in both types. so question of option doesnt come>

  • 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 Problem

    Hi All,
    I have problem with Exchange rate conversion. The system is not picking correct Exchange rate in billing Invoice of FI from SD.
    The scenario is I have created Exchange rate type as Z and alternate currency type is FGE1. I created new one because bussines does not want to use EURX as it is fucltuating it needs fixed rate type. So I have create Z & FGE1 as exchange rate type.
    Now In customer Master I have in Sales area Tab I have maintained Z as exchange rate type. So I create SO in SO I can see it is showing me Z as exchange rate conversion value.
    So when it comes to Accounting Document the values from GBP to EUR get converted into EURX rate type. Which is very surprising to me. My company code Currency is EUR Dcouemtn CUrrency is GBP.
    So can some one give me where the problem is arising.
    Regards,
    Kiran.

    Hi,
    Use transaction OBA7 and check if exchange rate EURX type is defined for document type RV
    Remove entry EURX in the document type RV and maintain Z or FGE1 whichever you want....it will be done..

  • Use an alternative Exchange Rate Type for activity actual price

    Dear All,
    I try to use an alternative Exchange Rate (not M)  in controlling area version "0", I need to use a custom currency exchange rate like in planned price (here I create a new planned version with exchange rate "N").
    I find same notes and it seems that standard Sap use only Exchange Rate "M" for actual price but I notice that for example in transaction KB21N (activity allocation) system shows in additional info exchange rate "N" (input in version "0").
    Is not possibile to use other Exchange Rate for actual price, activity allocation, for confirmed activity in production order?
    Controlling area has currency type 30 (group currency EUR), this company has MXN.
    Thanks in advance for your support
    Daria

    In KB21N (activity allocation), system uses the exchange rate type you have maintained in controlling area version plan settings (transaction OKEQN). Activity allocation during the month always happen at the planned price maintained in KP26 at the exchange rate specified in plan version. During actual price calculation and revaluation during month end, it calculates actual activity price at (uses M rate to convert to controlling area currency) and revaluates consumption.
    I think you cannot use other exchange rate, see the coding in include LKSPIF00 that is used in KSII where currency type is hard coded to M, if this is plan price calculation it's picking tka07-kurst.

  • 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,

  • Utilizing different exchange rate type for same currency combination

    Hello Gurus,
    I wanted to get your opinion/experience in handling the following scenario.
    We have company codes in different countries operating using different local currencies. There is alternate exchange rate type  EURX defined for Exchange rate type M for many currency combinations due to business requirements. One country with local currency EUR is utilizing EURX SEK - EUR exchange rate combination.
    Other country with local currency HUF is making use of exchange rate type MNB as an alternate exchange rate. In one of its transaction, where VAT is being calculated on its foreign transaction, HUF company is trying to seek rate of MNB SEK- EUR where country currency is SEK and document currency is EUR.
    But since on the 'translation ratios for currency translation' table EURX being the alternate currency for that particular combination, even when we set MNB SEK EUR exchange rate, the system is obviously picks up EURX rate.
    Has anyone come across similar scenario where different countries trying to get different exchange rate types for the same combination of currency? and If so, how would that be possibly handled through config or using something custom?
    Thanks all for your replies in advance.
    Regards,
    Sagar K.

    Hi Sagar,
    In tcode OBBS, if Alt.exchange rate is used for any currency pair, then that rate is used ( EURX in this case).
    All countries in EMU region uses EURX ( which is mostly fixed after introduction of EUR).
    If the company is in different countries in Europe, then mostly EUR is used as Alt. exchange rate. which uses EUR as reference currency.
    Ther is no country specific settings in std. sap for a currency pair.
    Cheers,

  • Exchange rate type settings

    Hello,
    In same client one company code use reference currency as local currency (XYZ) for exchange rate type u2018Mu2019. Exchange rates are maintained on daily base for the exchange rate type.
    New company code with different local currency would like to maintain exchange rate on monthly.
    Both company codes use same document types in FI and other modules.
    As per my understanding it is not possible to have to different exchange rate settings for same exchange rate type u2018Mu2019 in one client.
    In case if we have to use different exchange rate type for new company code what are the things to be considered or is there any alternate way please advise.
    Thanks!
    Raju

    Hi,
        You will have to create a new exchange rate type.
    Throughout SAP rate M will be used for actual postings unless a different rate type is specified.
    You can do this in:-
                      a) Document type
                      b) F110 - rate to be used can be specified
                      c) Customer Master Sales org data (for use in SD).
    Doing a complete duplicate set of document types is unrealistic.You need to identify where the FX transactions are and create Document types only where needed.You will also need a new FX valuation type that uses the new rate.
    When faced with this situation i only create 1 additional document type, to be used for Inbound invoices.This plus b) & c) for my companies covers 90+% of the FX postings.
    Kind regards
