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.

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.

Decimal places in currencies from flat files

Hi experts,
I am facing a problem in the way BI is managing decimal places when I extract them from tex files. I have read a lot of post and make a lot of changes and the problem persits. Here is my problem. I am uploading data from text files. These files come from 6 different source systems. All developments are already in production so changing the way they send the data it would be the most expensive solution at this point.
For all currencies ratios I receive in the file could contain these 3 kind of values:
5.45
3.2
4
Decimal indicator is "." but it is not always present and sometimes is follow 1 decimal pla or 2, which is ogial to expect depending of the nature of the value. I haven't been able to make it work for all the cases.
I have set "." in RSCUSTV1 as decimal separator. I tried number format "direct entry" in the extraction Tab of data source. I have tried all possible combinations in the tab fields with data type CURR, DEC, even CHAR and Internal or External format, and any configuration I have made works only for some cases and not for the others. I don't know what else I can look at. Your help will be highly appreciated and rewarded with points.
Regards,
Raimundo Alvarez

HI guys and Thanks for your help.
I could solve my problem. There were some issues already fixed (a combination of the external property in the tab fields, the configuration for decimal separator and a problem with the currency). The main one was giving me the headache that I am trying to import a currency but I was not receiving the currency from the source because is always the same (Colombian Pesos). This one has an special configuration in table TCURX that was making the decimal places be wrong. I solved requesting the currency from the source even if it was a constant value.
Thanks for your help,
Rai.

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

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,
Rajesh Singh

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.

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 ).

Output Changes with respect to change in decimal places in currency

Dear All,
We had a requirement to implement 3 and 4 decimal prices in USD and GBP respectively. As per SAP recommendation we created new currencies USD3 and GBP4 and configured other stuffs. Now we are able to enter prices in 3/4 decimals. However the sales order and invoice outputs are showing incorrect prices in 2 decimals itself. For example if I enter unit price as 2.145 the output shows it as 21.45.
Please let me know what need to be fixed?
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
This can be due to various reasons.
1. Please check your personal settings in SU01. Due to the features here, you may get different notation in the output type.
2. There can also be a problem due to the code in the output type .We had the same problem, and found the root cause to be in the output program and rectified it. Now it is fine.
3. Also, check your standard configurations on these currencies once, though I am sure they are done fine.

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
Fred

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,
Martin Kuma
