Decimal Places for Currencies

Impact on the processes of change at MM decimals for Currencies.
We want to use foreign currency to 6 decimals anand two decimal places for the currency of society

Dear José Luis Flores ,
Please always make sure your business process not reach the limitation of overflow during
the conversion as the Price it is always with 11 characters with 2 Decimal place (9,2) in standard.
All together 13 characters.
If this limitation was reached, you will received the dump message. This is normal and you had to
make sure it suits your business requirement in the beginning to avoid any changes later . You
had to plan it before do this type of customizing in very beginning.
Thanks

  • Changing decimal places for currencies

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a complete begginer to SAP BI and I need to change a value in SPRO > General Settings > Currencies > Set Decimal Places for Currencies, but the option that I want doesn't exist.
    I need to add a new entry with the value: currency - EUR6 and decimals 6, but there is no 6 available. Can anyone tell me where can I add this or what is the table where this information is???
    Thanks in advance!
    Rogério Brá

    ok I think it works - just try and play
    This is what I did (sort of same scenario - if you get my drift)
    Currency Key MGF - translation ratio 1000:1
    Exchange rate is : 11:02750 to the Euro
    Invoice entered for 1,000,000.00
    Currency calculated as 90.68 eur
    (ie 1,000,000/(11.02750 * 1000))
    You can play aroudn with direct/indirect to ge the factors right
    But it works (I thought it did - I am qualified FICO honest!!)
    This wont get you around displaying 6 decimals - BUT it will help with currency conversion

  • Question about decimal places for currencies

    hi ,experts ,
       here is the problem , when i use mb5s, i found the net price has been enlarged 1000 times . I  also found the data of the table EKPO has been enlarged 1000 times. So ,i check the decimal places for currencies , i found there are five decimal places , the standard system is two decimal places . 
       Does this mean that we cann't  change the decimal places in SAP?  If we can change , what should we do for configuration ？

  • Changing Decimal Places for Currencies (Table V_TCURX)

    The instance is ECC 6.0
    We need to change the decimal places for a currency from 0 to 2 decimal places. Is there any impacts of doing that?
    Also need to add some currencies which are not in the table. Is there anything need to be careful while doing this. If this table is updated, do we need to update any other tables also which may be impacted?

    Hi,
    It is not recommended that when postings have already been made, that a change in the currency be done, as amounts posted can become invalid or incorrect as a result (ie USD 100->1.00), which is most critical in production environment Please go through the note 137626 When you made changes via OY04, the effect of which is across all clients.
    To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect, in a productive system.
    You must never change decimal places in a productive system if you have documents posted with this currency. Such a change could lead to inconsistencies in these documents already posted.
    In case you really decide to use decimals you may consider to use SAP conversion services for them to convert all documents aready posted as explained in note 434349.

  • Query regarding decimal places for currencies

    Dear all,
    SAP standard allows 2 decimal points as default for any condition value. However, based on the entries in TCURX table we can set number of decimal places with reference to specific currencies.
    In our system there is no entry in TCURX table against USD currency. Still the system is taking 3 decimal places against the expected 2 decimal places.
    Is there somewhere hardcoded this for US or are they any additional settings impacting this? Please help
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to set 3 decimal places. I got the reference to Note # 38881.
    This is what I did:
    1. Create a new currency US$ and set the decimal places to 3
    2. Maintained the prices using VK11.
    3. Changed the customers' sales area currency to US$
    But when I created the sales order although the system determined the prices in 3 decimals i got the following information message which keeps on showing during the entire sales order creation:
    Pricing error: Mandatory condition ZMAC is missing
    Message no. V1801
    Details are as below:
    The obligatory condition ZMAC does not exist. The document is therefore considered to be incomplete from the point of view of pricing.
    The cause can be, for example, that a condition record does not exist for condition ZMAC or that a field overflow has occurred when the condition rate was calculated.
    Procedure
    Check why the condition could not be found. Use the pricing analysis function on the pricing screen to do this. If necessary, add the missing condition manually to the document.
    I believe I am missing some configuration that should be done in pricing, not sure what. As this question has been flagged answered, hope someone would be able to help me.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    the table TCURX must be already correct.
    The last time we  change it, it's when some currency disappears for EUR.
    The problem with currency, SAP save the field like if they have decimals. For example JPY, there is no decimals. You would like to save 100, SAP will save 1,00.  And when they have to write this amount, they read the table TCURX and they know the amount must be x100.
    To make it more simple, use the statement WRITE .... (INTO ...) CURRENCY my_curr  if you play with currency with decimals <> 2
    regards

  • Decimal places for JPY currency in change documents

    Hi Gurus,
    For opportunities in SAP GUI the change documents for JPY show incorrect numbers.
    The number is divided by 100 (two decimal places added).
    Checked the CDPOS table and found the values already divided (two decimal places added).
    SPRO->General Settings->Currencies->Set decimal places for currencies is set for 0 decimals for JPY.
    Is there any way I can get correct values in the change documents?
    Please advice. Any hint is useful.
    Thx,
    Martin Kuma

    Hi Naren,
    Thank you for the tip, however the TCURX table is changed via customizing and should be changed only during the system initialization.
    What I would like to do, is to assure that the system displays the values in change documents correctly. It should apply the currency conversion for the data displayed the same way it does for all the tables.
    Do you have any idea, how should I do this?
    Regards,

  • How to set  two decimal places in currency inr

    hi,
    i want to set two decimal places for my co.code currencu inr.  In t-code oy04 there is no 2 decimal places. Please tell me how set decimal places so that amount in account balances should be in two decimal places.
    thanks
    amol

    Hello,
    If your currency code entry isn't in OY04 customizing step, your currency code has 2 decimal place automaticly. If you want to define a special decimal place without "2", you must define it in OY04.

  • More DECIMAL places for MM price-Not Global

    I have read the <u>many</u> postings on decimals. However, I have not seen the exact scenario I'm inquiring about.
    I want to increase the decimal places from 2 to 4 for the cost of materials we purchase (i.e. supplier price), but I do NOT want to set this as a global aspect for the company when dealing with numbers/currency.
    It's not just a simple matter of setting a different unit of measure, because let's say we order a reel of capacitors - the reel may come in qty of 1,000 or 2,500 (only one example). So, we really need to set price by (ea). The problem is that many of our parts price at .0014 (example) and in SAP that shows a cost or price [depending on where you're looking] of zero. Plus, the Purchasing agent sends a PO with incorrect price information.
    <b>It would be very helpful if anyone could tell me how to increase the number of decimal places for specific fields as opposed to globally.</b>
    Thanks you!!

    The right tool to do that is the pice unit. This is in the system for ecatly that purpose, to provide more precision in prices. It has nothing to do with unitz of measure that is used for logistical purposes.
    If you have a price 0f 0.0014 each you can set a price unit of 1000 and will have a price of 1.40 for 1000. You still can have only 500 or even 1 on stock. the calculation done if you receive your 2500 will be 2500 * 1,40 / 1000 which is of course the same as 2500 * 0,0014

  • Decimal Place for Percentage

    Hi,
    Where do we change the number of decimal places for percentage?  Currently it is set as 3places. (e.g. 1.234% change to 1.2345%)
    Thanks,

    Hi Shiva,
    As for the link you gave, we don't want to change the currency decimal place.  We only want to change the number of decimals shown in a percentage value. (such 1.2345% instead of 1.234%)
    Thanks,

  • Removing the decimal places of currency field

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a currency type field ( to be more specific a field like BSEG-WRBTR) .
    How do i eliminate the decimal places for this field.
    ie if the value is 345678.91, i need to make it 345678.
    Is there a standard keyword or something for this?
    Points will be given to all the helpful answers.
    Thanks,
    Nobin.

    You can use the FLOOR function to get the largest integer value without decimal.
    Like:
    DATA: W_RESULT TYPE I.
    W_RESULT = FLOOR( P_AMT ).

  • Decimal Places in Currencies

    Dear gurus,
    What is the decimal places in currencied?
    how it works in table tcurx.
    Regards
    R.Rajendran

    Hello,
    During operation, you must neither delete currencies used nor change their definition of decimal places. Amounts in posted documents could become invalid or incorrect as a result.
    You cannot subsequently use R/3 standard functions to make a consistent change to the number of decimal places of a currency in the R/3 system that is already operatively used because the system interprets all amount values on the database according to the number of decimal places of the reference currency that is stored in the system.

  • Decimal places for unit of measure

    Dear All ,
    If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
    whether it will work ?
    and where it will impact

    Hi
    No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.
