Exchange rate maintanance in OB08

Dear All,
In OB08 I have maintained  customised exchange rate type as IMP for Imports and EXP for Exports. Whenever an Import PO is created I have want the exchange rate to be picked from IMP Exchange rate type. However system is taking Rate maintained in M by default.
Could you kindly suggest what should be done so that system picks up rate maintained in IMP instead of M while creating Import PO by default.
Regards
Karthikeyan G

Hi,
Double check "Alt. ERT" (Alternate exchange rate type) in OBBS, the suggestion is if exchange rate type IMP is desired then enter IMP in input field under "Alt. ERT" column on the row where exchange rate type 'M' and the corresponding currency pair for e.g. USD:GBP (assuming USD is local currency and GBP is foreign currency) is maintained.
Kind regards,
John Chin

  • Is there any alternative tcode to maintain Exchange rates other than OB08

    Hi All,
    Just i want to know is there any alternative tcode for maintaining exchange rate other than OB08.
    I want to maintain the exchange rate for one perticular user only.
    Thanks,
    suraj

    Exchange rates are valid for everyone, they cannot be maintained for a single user. However it is possible to create separate exchange rate types and maintain separate exchange rates for them. These types could be added to some special document types, but it only works in FI.

  • Fixed exchange rate in PO vs the exchange rate maintained in OB08

    Dear experts,
    When I input a PO in ME21N, I noticed that there is a field letting me to input exchange rate.
    And I also know that the exchange rate the system automatically picks is from what we have maintained in OB08.
    Can I understand that if we have no value input in ME21N, then the systems picks the exchange rate we setup in OB08 when we post invoice in MIRO?

    Let me take an example to check if my understanding is correct.
    In a German comapny, one PO is created in USD.
    The exchange rate from USD to EUR is already maintained in OB08. I did not tick the fix indicator (not matter I input any rate in PO). The system will pick the rate from OB08 in MIGO and invoice posting, right?
    Another scenario, I input the specific exchange rate in PO, and tick the fix indicator. The system will pick the rate from PO for MIGO and invoice posting, right?
    Is there any chance we can input differenct exchange rate in GR or invoice from the one we used in PO?

  • Exchange Rate derived from OB08 while making payments

    Dear Team,
    We have posted a document with exchange rate 1Euro = 70 Inr manually, but when i post a payment transaction for the same in INR the exchange rate for the same line item is derived based on the rate maintained in OB08 for EURX Exchange Rate which gives us a wrong value while making a payment, suppose if rate is 72 INR then 2INR stands as open item in my Vendor balance (Difference).
    So Kindly advice how do i rectify the same so that the rate does not get derived from OB08.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi,
    first reverse your entry.
    I hope your vendor invoice is posted in EUR and posted payment with INR currency. (with Loc Curr)
    If your bank account GL curr is also INR, then post your F-53 with EUR currency and manually maintain the exch rate in the header data as you did while posted inv earlier.
    This will resolve your issue.

  • Difference between ob08 and oc41 Transaction code in Exchange rate

    Hi,
    Can any one help me out what is the difference between OB08 and Oc41 in transaction code in Exchange rates...
    Thanks in Advance
    Sivanand

    hi Siva,
    When foreign currencies are valuated, all the open items that were posted in a foreign currency are valuated. The valuation is based on the individual open items in a foreign currency, that is, each open item in a foreign currency is valuated individually.
    The exchange rate table is OB08
    AND
    OC41 is another transaction to the exchange rate table.
    When you try to change you cannt change the rates sometimes.... but u can see the rates displayed.......

  • OB08 currency exchange rates actually used in system

    Hello All,
    We are currently in the process of evaluating vendors for a daily FX rate upload.  During the vendor evaluation process, we realized that upwards of 650 cross rates are entered into the system on a monthly basis and the team uploading the rates are not sure all are being used.  Since the daily FX upload is priced per exchange rate that is passed we'd like to make sure all of the current exchange rates maintained in OB08 are actually being used in the system.  Does anyone have ideas on how to obtain what currency exchange rates are actually used.  We're hoping to reduce our number of cross rates passed in the daily feed by elimating the exchange rates that are not used but I'm not sure how to find that out.  Thanks in advance for the help.
    Cheers,
    Jordan

    You could download all entries in table BKPF and derive unique values in currency key (WAERS).  Those are the foreign currencies that you are using in your system.  You need exchange rates between those currencies and your local currency/group currency and also between your local currency and group currency.

  • System is taking Exchange Rate Value from PO at the time of MIRO

    HI GURUS,
    The problem is that the system is taking the value of exchange rate from PO when we are doing MIRO. We do not tick the field -fixed rate -in PO but still the system is taking the value of exchange rate from PO and not from the exchange rate maintained in OB08. In PO ,the value of exchange is rate is coming from the data maintained in OB08 but it becomes outdated by the time of MIRO. Please help.
    Regards,
    Mukesh

    Hi Mukesh,
    Please check mentioned conditions according SAP Note 128
    Exchange rate differences between goods receipt and invoice receipt are posted under the following preconditions:
    The invoice is posted in the same (foreign) currency as the purchase order.
    The exchange rate in the purchase order is not fixed.
    As a basic rule, an exchange rate difference is only posted as substitute for a price difference, that is, only in the case of stock material (standard price with variance or moving average price with stock shortage/undercoverage). The exchange rate difference results from the following calculation schema:
    GR value in foreign currency at GR exchange rate
    GR value in foreign currency at IR exchange rate
    In the process, the quantity situation is of course taken into account. For example, in the case of IR before GR no exchange rate difference is posted, and in the case of "partial" invoices a proportional exchange rate difference is posted.
    For cancelled invoices/credit memos, the following applies:
    All invoices/credit memos/subsequent debits must be posted in the same (foreign) currency. (However, not necessarily in the PO currency). The exchange rate difference results from the following calculation schema:
    Previous IR value in local currency at average exchange rate of previous invoices/credit memos/subsequent debits
    IR value in local currency at exchange rate of present credit memo (in relation to the total quantity invoiced)
    Here, too, an exchange rate difference is only posted as substitute for a price difference.
    For delivery costs, exchange rate differences are posted to the stock account as long as stock coverage exists. No price difference lines are generated.
    During the goods receipt no currency check is carried out and therefore, only the local currency is updated in the invoice.
    Regards

  • Exchange Rate difference posting during MIRO posting

    Hi ,
    We are facing an issue for exchange rate difference posting during MIRO.
    PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date. Vendor in PO has different currency than company code currency. Exchange rate maintained in OB08 for this period is taken in PO.
    PO value & GR value is same. Due to raw material cost there was price difference posted during GR posting.
    (i.e. Raw material cost - GR/IR value = Price difference amount)
    During posting MIGO, 3 accounts got posted.
    Raw material cost account got debited & offset credit to GR/IR account & price difference account (in vendor & company code currency also)
    During posting MIRO, 4 accounts got posted.
    Vendor account got credited with GR/IR amount & offset to GR/IR account debit.
    Exchange rate difference account got credited & offset to price difference account (in company code currency only)
    Since PO creation , GR posting & IR posting done on same date, then why system has posted exchange rate difference account in local currency only during MIRO posting ?
    Your inputs appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    there is a setting in configuration of logistics invoice verification where you can control the calculation and posting of exchange rate differences. If you had the setting active that exchange rate differences are calculated against a planned exchange rate, that might lead to the kind of postings you describe. Please check.
    best regards,   Udo

  • Exchange rate difference coming in BRS

    Dear FICO Experts,
    we created 3 bank g/l accounts like main, reciept and pmt. but currency assigned in control data is USD bcoz all transaction vll be posted in USD. We also defined house bank master data in FBZP for the same.My company code curency is INR. Now we maintain exchange rate on 1st day of the month. For e.g. we defined exchange rate as on 01/11/11 say 46 per USD and my user posted one journal entry on 03/11/11 for 1000 USD @ 47 as per bank transaction. Now when m doing BRS on 03/11/11 for the same transaction, system is taking exchange rate defined in ob08 i.e. 46 and there for while doing BRS system is showing exchange rate difference G/L for Rs 1000 (46000-47000) which i dont want. bcoz act transaction amt is 47000.
    Please advice for steps to be followed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Ravi,
    Thanks for ur prompt reply but I have already done OBA1 configuration and therefore, exchange rate difference G/L is coming. My requirement is that, we dont to post any amount in exchange rate difference while doing BRS.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Exchange rate message in PO

    Dear experts,
    I receive a warning message "exchange rate deviates by 7%" when changing the exchange rate during PO creation.
    I would like to change it to an error message.
    In " IMG > MM > Purchasing > Environment data > Define attributes of system messages", I have set the message to 'E' for
    version : 00
    application area: 06
    No : 208
    I have also added 'MSV' =  00 in the parameter id of the user master but the message is still a warning. What shall I do next?

    Hello
    Are you trying to say that exchange rate defaulted during Purchase order creation is different from exchange rate maintained in OB08 t code?
    I'm facing the same problem but i do not want to convert Message No. 06208 from warning to error.
    Are you able to find the source from where the rate has been defaulted in your Purchase Order? If yes, kindly let me know about it.
    Maximum exchange rate difference defined has been defined through OB64 t code.
    Thanks.
