Decimal Places in Purchasing (multiple currencies)

Is it possible to change the price field to accept more than 2 decimal places in purchasing documents (contracts/PO) in a live production system for multiple currencies ?

Hi Raja,
No, if the said currencies already have transactions since, in SAP the values are stored without decimals. This the warning of SAP
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid..
But you can denote in another way viz.
1 Kg of material X = 0.012 / Kg
can be denoted as 100 kgs = 1.2

Decimal Places in purchasing

Is it possible to maintain price with more than 2 decimal places in purchasing documents (contarcts/PO)?
Thanks!
Alok

If you want to maintain 4 decimal places in price field
of Po then you can define decimal places at currency key level.For example for curreny USD if you want to maintain the 4 decimal places then kindly maintain the decimal value as 4 in table TCURX for currecy key USD.the field is CURRDEC.You can also maintain this table via customizing SPRO->General Settings->Currencies->Set decimal places for currencies.
This should helps you.

Decimal places in Purchase orders

Hello,
currently, when typing in the unit price in a purchase order, we can only use 2 decimal places. We need to be able to use 4 decimal places for materials such as paper, which we buy at 0,028 (example). Can this be modified through customizing? Currently we can play around with this price and the quantity to be able to get the correct price, but this is a hassle.
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hi
You can maintain the price in unit for 1000 pcs.
Example: 28$ per 1000 pcs.This you can maintain in master data itself.Either in material or Info record etc.

Error in decimal places while using the currency ends with 4 e.g. CNY4,USD4

Dear all,
I need ye help, the problem that a report having a field KONP-KBETR .......the report moves the decimal 2 places to the right. And so, 412.3846 becomes 41238.46. ..occurs only when the currency ends in 4 (CNY4, USD4, EUR4..)
Can you please guide.
Thanks in advance .
Rgds,
Pem

Hi,
I think you are misinterpretting the things.
1.CNY4, USD4, EUR4 are Currency keys and they does not end with 4 they are CNY, USD, EUR.
2.and KBETR is CURR(11,2) so it will always display TWO places of decimals.

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 in Hyperion Enterprise

Since upgrading to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1, we have lost the ability to see any values beyond the decimal point. I can go to View and select decimal places, but it used to appear in the bottom right corner of the Data Entry screen as Value: 7195.1548869 now all I get is Value:7195
Does anyone know how to get that Value to show all the decimal places?

Changing Decimal places in table TCURX

Hi There
We have a business requirement to change the decimal places in table TCURX from 3 Decimals to 5 Decimal places. No previous postings have been made in foreign currencies.
If no transaction data has been posted in foreign currencies yet, will this have an impact?
What will the impact be?
Regards

Hi,
Refer to this SAP text:
In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this
amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD,
be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. 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 be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can
thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of
2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists
Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.

Purchase Order three decimal places

Dear Experts
I want to change purchase order decimal places to three. Standard sap setting allow two decimal places.
My client want to create some raw material purchase orders in three decimal places. Also vendor bill is received in three decimals. But Purchase order doesn't allow three decimals, and if the same purchase order is created with two decimal places it causes huge amount difference. By this reason many purchase orders are pending. In transaction Code OY04 we can change the decimal places for currency directly. If there is any other setting to allow three decimals for mm transactions only. We have one month real time data on our production system, is it correct to change the decimal places at this stage.

OY04 it is a oneway decision, extending yes, but removing not anymore possible then. Search OSS for more infos.
If you allow more decimals, then this has not only effect on purchase orders, it will certainly effect your FI books as well.
SAP predefines the currencies in its natural design.
If a currency like dollars has smaller units like cent, then the SAP currency will show that. eg. for USD 2 decimals.
If you need more detailed prices with more than 2 decimals, then you should use the price unit which is usually next to the price fields.
instead of 1,0025 dollar you just enter 100,25 dollar per 100, this has the same effect. and this is available in material master and any condition, hence in PO and SA.

JPY Currency Decimal Places

Hi All
Today we noticed a difference in the way SAP handles a PO which has document currency JPY. The price displayed on screen for the PO was 790 JPY, but the value stored in the tables was 0.79. Any reason why this like this ? How does standard SAP handles such cases ?
Regards
Kasi

Hi
There are certain currencies like JPY/Yen for which amounts are automatically handled by SAP. Currency JPY has 0 decimals. Refer TCURX table for the details of decimal places for currencies.
In the case of JPY, system automatically multiplies values when displayed from table to screen and divides vice versa.
FM 'CURRENCY_AMOUNT_SAP_TO_DISPLAY' is used for this conversion.
Amount 7900 JPY on screen will be stored as 79 in SAP tables.
Also, in the case of exchange rate conversions, the rate maintained are for 1:100 to USD (ex). while other currencies would hold 1:1 conversion rate.
You can also check with FI consultants for more details

Decimal Places for Pricing conditions in Purchase info record

Hi guys:
In the material master, Moving average price/std price 2 decimal places, purchase info records -pricing conditions we have option of 2 decimal places.
Is there any we can increase the number of decimal places .?
Thanks
sweth

Hi,
you can either have high prices or high accuracy, but not both together (because field length stays fixed).
Don't think about a modification - to much changes would be necessary. I never have seen a situation, where you needed more than about 6 significant digits (= not '0'): high prices don't have decimals.
So you usually change a factor: Maintain prices for higher or smaller units to get into the correct range. Or you might use different currencies in different situations. You can also maintain prices per 100 or 1000 units (in case of cheap products).
If nothing else is possible, you might use two conditions: one without decimals, second one only decimals, the sum of both can be a very precise high price.
Better to use the option price unit if you want exact value in place.

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

Decimal places adjustment based on company code or currency

Hi experts,
my requirement is i have to adjust the decimal places in amount fields of internal table based on company code or currency given by user.
suppose for example in my internal tables having 5 amount fields like 1.50 1.234 1.45 1.34, 1.67 for company code is in01
the same values for VN01 should be like this
150 1234 145 134 167 ....
can any body plz tell me any functional module is there to covert or abapcode?
Thanks in advance,
veena.

That code is a bad idea. Why would you hard-code that type of action for currency/amount handling?
@poster: If the output is based on the local currency defined for the specified company code or one specified by the user, then use it. SAP handles amount output automatically with a currency specification because the currency definition identifies where/how the decimal is output.
Just use WRITE as Florian indicated but use the CURRENCY extension instead of DECIMALS. You can do this dynamically based on the company code easily...
A simple 3 line program shows you how this works:
PARAMETERS: p_wrbtr type wrbtr.
write:/ p_wrbtr CURRENCY 'USD'.
write:/ p_wrbtr CURRENCY 'JPY'.

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 in quantity depending on currency

hi
i m doing an alv list display in which i need to display a quantity field with 3 decimal places for some currencies, but for one particular currency such as 'AED'
that field should display only 2 decimal places in the output.
regards
Zarina

Hi Zarina,
Populate decimals_out with 2 for this field while building the fieldcatalog.
g_t_fieldcat-decimals_out = 2.
Note: don't declare the field as currency which will overwrite above setting.
i.e., don't use g_t_fieldcat-cfieldname in this case.
==============================================
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_s = 'USD Equi'.
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'USD Equi'.
g_t_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'USD Equivalent'.
g_t_fieldcat-cfieldname = ' '.
g_t_fieldcat-decimals_out = 2.
g_t_fieldcat-just = 'R'.
modify g_t_fieldcat index zindx.
==============================================
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Vicky
