Decimal error in table BSEG.

Question

Dear experts,
I will present my problem in a scenario.
I'm using txc FB70 to make an invoice in currency COP (columbian peso) or MXP (mexican peso).
When using MXP it works fine, but with COP the amount entry in table BSEG gets divided by 100.
The reason is that the amount field in bseg is packed with decimal 2 and FB70 automatically adds *.00 on every amount (that does not already have it) entered by me. Thus 150 becomes 150.00. This is fine except in my system the currency COP is not allowed to contain any decimal and therefore, somehow it get stored as 1.50 instead.
I have tracked what I believe to be the fault to the FM CURRENCY_AMOUNT_IDOC_TO_SAP which returns the value of 1.50 when entering 150 in a currency that do not contain decimals. I also found a note that described this error (69944) but it was posted in 1998 referring to txc MR01, and should be taken care of in following releases.
So my question is: Is this the way it should be? is my system obsolete (missing updates of some sort)? or is there an alternative way of reading the data from BSEG? for instance a flag that says I need to multiply by 100 in these scenarios. I know it is a long shot, but still I cannot imagine that this is something that only me have encountered.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Johan,
I do not think, that there is something wrong with your definitions. Please, read the following note 126857 and you will see how the system treats these cases storage-wise.
