Define exchange rate types according to ledgers

Hi Everyone,
I am facing a problem about the exchange rate types.
I want to set different exchange rate types for my leading ledger and local ledger.
for example, the leading ledger 0L is defined for IFRS with default exchange rate type M.
the local ledger LL is defined for our country China and i want to use own-defined exchange rate type say Y001.
is it possible realize like this in SAP.
thank you so much!
regards,
samson

Hi, Samson:
I am not sure whether it make sense to have different exchange rate for same two currencies in different countries, for example, in China and US, exchange rates for RMB and USD are different in same situation, like buy-in...
Your question about exchange rate definition in Non-Leading Ledger - it is impossible to do that in Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers.
For the purpose of Ledger approach for parallel accounting, it is used to meet the reporting requirements basically, for example, IFRS or USGAAP or HGB, but not for exchange rate type...
If you get any surpurise information, please share with me. Thanks.
Best Regards, Lawrence

Exchange Rate Type R - Closing Exchange Rate

Hello Experts,
I am current developing ABAP AP Aging reports. I would like to ask what is the reason for defining Exchange Rate Type (R) - month end exchange rate instead of using the Standard Average Rate M.
Thanks in advance.

For exchange rate type R, you maintain month-end exchange rates in OB08 and revalue the foreign currency open items (AR & AP) and foreign currency balance sheet items into your local currency at the month-end rate. You daily transactions during the month are posted using the M rate. It is necessary to revalue the items I mentioned above at the month-end rate and report.

Exchange rate type not defined for country

Hi All,
I have noticed an error message during testing of postings using tax codes. The error message nbr is FF802 (Exchange rate type is not defined for country XX). When we are testing postings on accounts for which tax code is ignored (not relevant) it is ok. Could you please let me know where exactly we have settings and how it is related to the tax codes ? I have never seen that connection previously.
Thanks,
Points will be rewarded afterwards.

Hi Tomasz,
The exchange rate types are defined at country level in General Settings and the company codes with that country can access that. Normally the exchange rate types are defined as M, P, B and G. M is for average rate and is used in FI, while P is for planning in CO.

Exchange Rate Type per Company Code

HI Experts,
In our system the conversion rates for EURX are maintained since there are several European companies working with the system.
Now we would like to use the same SAP-system for companies in China & Taiwan. In both countries there is an individual "official" exchange rate which does not equal the exchange rates stated from the German banks and thus fed into the system.
Is there any possibility to connect a company (code) with one particular exchange rate type? Since we are dealing with countries outside of the EU.
Thanks in Advance
Siva

Hi,
as you may have recognized, the assignment cannot be made on company code (or country) level, but only on currency level. In particular, this is table TCURF.
When (almost) all possible currency combinations (from-to) are redirected to rate type EURX, then this looks like standard SAP delivery settings that you can freely change according to your needs.
If you are not familiar with TCURF maintenance, however, you should be very careful here and test every change before importing it to the productive environment.
The basic idea that I have always followed for the same or similar requirements is that local rules for a particular rate type are always control the rates to be applied when converting from any foreign currency to the currency of the particular country.
If you are a China company and your local company code currency (curr.type 10) is CNY, then you have to make the following changes to table TCURF:
First, find out all the foreign (non-CNY) currencies that you are dealing with. This may include EUR, USD, and any other currency of the world.
Then, determine (or create) a new exchange rate type in table TCURV. This should be the rate type for your "own" rates. Let's name it rate type "L" (for Local rates). Note: you can use the standard M rate type as well, but it is more transparent if you define a separate one.
Then have a look into table TCURF and find the entries as follows:
Rate type: M
From-currency: all that you are using in your business (all non-CNY that you use)
To-Currency: CNY
Valid-from: find the recent entry for each combination
With all of these entries displayed, you will find that the alternate exchange rate type field (ABWCT) in these entries is set to EURX.
Now you want to create a new TCURF entry as follows:
Rate type: M
From: the same foreign currencies as above
To: CNY
Valid-from: a newer date than the last current entry
Alternate exchange rate type: L (your new rate type) - in case you want to use just M, then leave ABWCT empty.
If you are using the L type (which I recommend), then you have to add 2 new entries to TCURF for each foreign currency:
1.
Rate type: L
From: foreign curr
To: CNY
Valid-from: 1.1.1800 (yes!)
Ratio from and to: as you want, it should be the same as in the corresponding M entry, usually 1:1, but it depends
Alternate exchange rate type: leave it blank.
2.
Rate type: L
From: CNY
To: foreign curr.
Valid-from: 1.1.1800 (yes!)
Ratio from and to: as you want, it should be the same as in the corresponding M entry, usually 1:1, but it depends
Alternate exchange rate type: leave it blank.
Finally, in OB08, you have to maintain rates like
type L, foreign curr to CNY
You are done
What is happening is the following (example you post a document in USD in your China company code)
Doc.currency USD --> must be converted to your local currency CNY
First, the system looks the current ratios for the M entry:
M, USD to CNY, valid from: recent, 1:1 and ABWCT = L !!!! (the entry you have added before)
Then it checks the ratios for L:
L, USD to CNY, valid from 1.1.1800, 1:1, ABWCT = blank
Based on TCURF, the system will look for the current rate entered under rate type L, your local rate )
Now what if a USD-based company has to post something in CNY? No changes there as the TCURF settings were not touched. They should look like this:
M CNY to USD, alt.exch.rate type EURX (or blank)
If it is EURX, then the rates enterd under EURX rate type (once USd to EUR and then CNY toi EUR) are read and the cross-rate CNY to USD is calculated.
If it is blank, then the rate entered under rate type M is used.
In both cases, no change to your current process.
It works similar if the company code is EUR based.
The main idea is: redirect all M entries in TCURF where <anycurr> to CNY to the new rate type L, but leave all other TCURF entries untouched. Direction <any> to CNY are only relevant for the China company code, the rest of the world does not care about that conversion. They might be interested in conversions like CNY to <any>, like in the above example, CNY to USD, or CNY to EUR, but that could be their German or ECB rate, you do not have to care about.

Exchange rate types

Hi gurus,
we are on an int. project impl. between spain and india.
my problem is two company uses "M" as exchange rate types, and enter exchange currencies according to M. for example exchange currency eur usd in spain and exchange currency eur usd in india are different.
In company code implementation Exchange rate type M implemented for these two company codes.
the problem is : I want the system use "M" exchange currencies entered for my country,

Hi,
if you tell me what currency (or currencies, see transation OB22) your company codes are using, I an help you further.
Espacially what is the local company code currency (check in OBY6) and do we have parallel currencies defined in OB22. Do we have global company ID's (T880) assigned to company codes (in OBY6) ? If yes, what currencies those global company ID's are using?
Thank you
Csaba

Exchange rate type P is replaced with M

Hi,
We are using CATS for time booking and the process is as follows:
1) CAT2 -> Hours booked.. Lets assume: 9 HRs
2) CATS_APPR_LITE - > Time sheet approval -> Approved 9 Hrs
3) CAT9 -> CATS data transfer to cost object(PM order) -> During this transaction, system does calculate the amount needs to be tranferred based on price maintained in KP26 and hours booked. Lets say KP26 price is $100. That means controlling document will be generated for amount $900.
Note - As per system configuration, exchange rate type will always be P whenever CATS posting will happen and controlling document gets generated. That means, currency conversion will take place based on the exchange rates maintained for type P.
So as per business requirement, we have done an enhancement to the existing CATS process:
Price is manually determined at the time of CAT2 and same will be considered till the controlling document is generated. So, no price determination during CAT9. Therefore the strategy says it is a manual determiination of price and the Exchange rate type is determined as "M" and thats an issue because we do want to pass manual price but we want Exchange rate type as "P" as well.
Is there any way out or settings availabe in SAP or any user exit or an enhancement to achieve this functionality?
Thanks,
Aby

Hi Aby,
I believe these notes contain good information for this case:
1073979 (which I think is already in your system and therefore this behavior).
and
691613 (which explains the strategies)
Also, please check the entry you have defined in the transaction OKEV.
There, the system will make the translation depending on the
exchange rate defined.
I hope this helps.

Lucas

Exchange Rate Type default different from M for a company code

Dear SAP guru,
Would you shed some light on this?
How would we be able to default/assign a different exchange rate type from M at a company code level?
I have a company code - finance company - that every foreign currenty transaction needs to be translated using different exchange rate type (i.e. daily hedge rate) than other operating companies.
The OB22 screen makes it appear as M rate is specificied as 1st currency in company code, but grayed out and not able to change.
Please help me with your expertise on this.
Kind regards

Hi,
ExRateType is hardcoded in
Main Program     SAPL0F03
Source code of   L0F03I01
*------- Daten zur ersten Hauswährung -
rfcu4-curtp = '10'.
rfcu4-bwer1 = '0'.                                        "AT 23039
rfcu4-kurst = 'M'.               <<<<<
rfcu4-cursr = '1'.
rfcu4-curdt = '3'.
The reason why the assignment of exchange rate type M to the first company code currency is a historical reason. A lot of coding within the SAP system is directly developed under the prerequisite that the exchange rate type for the first company code currency is M.
As you described you want to setup several company codes in one client that all have the same first company code currency but should use different exchange rates. To solve that issue there are 2 ways available:
The first way is that you use the functionality to assign an exchange rate type to a document type. That would mean a lot of work because in that case you would have to define all document types seperatly for
every company code.
The second possible solution is that you use different names for the fist company code currency.
That means for example that you name the first company code currency in company code 0001 USD and in company code 0002 US1. So you can use different exchange rates for the same currency.because in that examle USD and US1 are only different names for the same currency. Using this approach you can have different exchange rates for different companies with the same company code currency by setting only different names even though the exchange rate type M is fix asigend to the first company code currency.

Exchange rate type M not picked in FB60 foreign currency entry

Hi
My local currency is   USD. I   have defined exchange rate for   ' USD and EUR   '    for exchange     type M and type EURX.
In FB60, system picks the exchange rate defined for exc. type EURX,   but   I   want it to pick exch. type M.
Also i   have set   exch type M in docu type KR.   Still it does not pick   exc type M.
Pl advise
Thanks
kamala

I am thinking that most likely you have specified EURX as Alt. ERT (alternate exchange rate type) for exchange rate type M for the currency pair USD:EUR in IMG node 'Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation" (T Code OBBS). Remove it and retest FB60; it should pick the M rate.

Alternate Exchange Rate Type Not Picked while converting from Document Currency to Group Currency

Hello Gurus,
We have setup an alternate Exchange Rate type MNB for rate M for the postings happening in Hungary. Local currency is HUF. Group currency is USD.
If the document currency is, lets say, EUR, latest MNB rate is correctly picked up (EUR to HUF) and postings are correctly converted into local currency (HUF).
Although, for the same document, when a group currency is being calculated (EUR to USD), exchange rate type M is being picked up. Same happens if document currency is HUF. Even then, the conversion is based on exchange rate type M.
Is this a normal SAP behavior? How to prevent/correct this? This is also throwing off balances when we check in FAGLB03 or BSEG values in local and group currencies. In OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M and we may not want to make any changes there as it is setup at global level.
Do we need to run any valuations after the fact? if so, how?
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
You mentioned that "in OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M". Then, I'm wondering how MNB is picked up for the first local curr. conversion to HUF? It should be 'M' instead. There must be some settings in your instance for such behavior. Can you check that?
Actually, Group Curr. conversion happens with the rate defined for 2nd Loc.Curr.in OB22 which is 'M' in your case. Therefore, all the transactions are converted with M instead of MNB.
Since you can't change OB22 per global co.policy, the exch.rate defined in OBA7 will overrule OB22. However, you've to make sure it's set up for all doc.types which are affected and posted in different curr. than HUF.
As a workaround, another thought would be to maintain the same conversion rate for both exch.rate types MNB & M, for eg. HUF > USD rate is the same both exch.rate type MNB & M. This way, you ensure all transactions are posted with correct exch.rate irrespective of whatever rate type is used.
From business, & global org. perspective, I'm sure they are sending the 'M' exch.rates to all their sister concerns monthly, so they would like to consolidate results as per standard rate in their system. Then, why ,as a local company, would you like to fiddle with standard process? It's a management decision, please run them through again before going ahead.
Thanks,
Nirav

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..

Chintan Joshi

Exchange Rate Type 'M'

I have maintained average rate 'M' for currency translation and done direct quotation method. However, while doing a posting, system picks up some other exchange rate type (say, EURX) and exchange rates.
I am not able to understand why exchange rate type M is not being picked up ?
Please help me out.

Thx for the responses.
I found EURX type is available in the system. But I dont want to default it for my postings. I want the system to pick up type M. I have not defined any type at the document level.
Please help.

Exchange rate types with referency currencies in BW currency translations

Hello Guru's:
Will BW currency translation keys utilize 'reference currency' functionality on exchange rate types? I want to translate between two currencies (CNY to HKD) that don't have a direct rate, but both have rates for USD.
I have:
- exchange rate type BU10 defined with USD as reference currency
- exchange rates for BU10 with relevant validity dates entered from CNY to USD and from HKD to USD.
- exchange rate factors for BU10 relevant validity dates entered for CNY to USD, HKD to USD, USD to CNY, and USD to HKD.
- a currency translation key defined taking source currency from transactional data (0CURKEY_LC), exchange rate type from a variable, target currency from a variable, and time reference as end of 0FISCPER.
The translation from CNY and HKD to USD works, as does translation from USD to either HKD or CNY, but not CNY to HKD or vise versa. So I wonder whether BW currency translation keys can even use the reference currency concept. Or maybe there are constraints on translation key configuration that must be observed to make them work for this situation.
Kind regards,
Aron

I solve it after using RSRT to debug the currency translation. The must be an additional entry in TCURF for the source and target currencies, not just for the source currency to reference currency and reference currency to the target currency. In my example from the original post, an entry from CNY to HKD is required.
