Exchange rate ratios

Hi,
We have probelm in our system,some the exchange rate ratios that are maintained in the system are wrong ,due which scaling factor is varying.
TCURF is the table ,where i can check exchange rate ratio's,but it's no allowing me to create a new entry there.
Can u help me know,where there exchange ratio's are maintained?
Thanks in advance

Exchange Rate Ratio Not Reflected in New Exchange Rate

We've reached the maximum exchange rate value between IDR and USD (9,999 to 1) based upon our current RATIO of 1,000 to 1. In our sandbox, via t-code OBBS I've changed the ratio for IDR to USD to 10,000 to 1 with a Valid From date of 12/1/2008. Then, via t-code OC41 I created a new IDR to USD rate with a Valid From date of 12/5/2008. When I press enter, the OLD ratio of 1,000 is pulled in, not the new value of 10,000. I've tried several different dates, ensuring that the rate date is the same or after the ratio date. None of these approaches change the results. Is there a RATIO activation step I need to perform before adding the new RATE?

The only way around this situation was to write down all the existing IDR-USD rates and their valid from dates and delete them via OC41. Via OBBS, I left the existing 1,000 to 1 IDR-USD ratio in place and added the new 10,000 to 1 ratio with a date greater than the ratio entry but less than the first rate date. I then readded the IDR-USD rates, adjusting the values for the new ratio, and they pulled in the 10,000 to 1 ratio.

Chaning the Exchange Rate Ratios

Is it a good idea to change the currency exchange ratios? We are needing to change some ratios. Many of the currencies already would have transactions posted. What are the impacts or side effects of making this kind of change?
Please share your experience or knowledge..

Hello,
These ratios are standard and taken from ISO. Most of the currencies will have ratio of 1:1, unlike in the case of Japanees Yen, where it is counted in hundreds. Therefore, it is not good idea to change the currency ratios even before or after the data is being posted. We need to follow the standard currency translation ratios.

Maintain seprately exchange rate for Local transction and Global Transction

Dear Guru,
In some countires of Latin america, the local exchange rate ratio between two currencies is differ than the Global exchange
rate ratio. Is it possible to maitain simultaenously two exchange rate ratio for local and global purpose in sap for day to day
transction.

Nope not possible for day to day real time posting.
But you can define a non leading ledger and can at period end do th eforeign currency valuation using that specific exchange rate for that non leading ledger.

Message no. SG028 Ambiguous... exchange rate relation

Hi Friends,
I have a free of charge order. While doing the Post Goods Issue step, I am getting the following error message
Ambiguous EUR/USD exchange rate relations
Message no. SG028
I have searched in the forum and made sure that in transaction OB08 Exchange Rate EUR/US and USD/EUR (Exchange Rate Type M) has maintained properly in the system.
I have also made sure that the entries are properly maintained in SPRO - General Settings - Currencies - Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation.
But still the error is coming, I saw in one thread, some one has reported the same problem even after maintaining the exchange rates in OB08, but no solution was suggested as far as I check. could anyone please give some inputs why the same error coming even though the exchange rates are maintained and how to fix this issue as I stuck in Post Goods Issue step
Thank you

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your time.
I've found the below entries in OBBS
M   USD    EUR     01.01.1900        100 : 1
M   EUR    USD     01.01.1900         1    : 100
Alternative currency is blank in both entries
In OB07 for exchange rate Type M all the fields (Ref. currency, Buy and Sell rate) and the check boxes are blank. it is still unclear for me being a logistics guy
While doing Post Goods Issue in other scenario I didnt have any error where currency GBP EUR invovled. In this case the OBBS entries EUR/GBP as below
M   GBP    EUR     01.01.2000        1 : 1
M   EUR    GBP     01.01.2000        1 : 1
Alaternative currency is blank in this case as well.
Does the valid from date or the ratio make any difference?
I could not clarify with my FI consultant as he is on vacation. Could you please let me know how to fix it.
Thank you

Exchange rate upload throuhg Transaction ob08

Hi,
I need to load automatically the exchange rates which are downloaded from company site which are in pounds every month to transaction ob08
I'm trying to use TBDM to upload exchange rates, and I'm having problems.
I created an excel file according the help information. But when I try to run TBDM, my list and error log file are empty. No error messages, but no results.
I tried saving the file as comma delimited and as tab delimited text file, but neither worked. When I first tried to run TBDM, it wanted me to enter a data provider, so I had to set one up in the Treasury config. Is there other config I need to do? You said something in your message about using Access to make a fixed length file. Apparently I'm missing something.
I am also trying to load through Transaction TBEX but that does work either.
I just want to know from Financials gurus if I am proceeding correctly or not.
I'd really appreciate any hints!
MaRk

Hi,
This question is very old but when you look for this in Google this is the first page that comes up.
To make your own uploadable table in Excel you need to follow this structure:
Required means that you must fill that field and Empty means that should leave it blank.
The length describes the length of the field. It's very important the length of the field because if you don't use that length then it won't work the upload.
1 Data Class (Fixed value '01') - Length 2 - Required
2 Key 1 FROM currency - Length 20 - Required
3 Key 2 TO currency - Length 20 - Required
4 Category Interest type - Length 15 - Required
5 Date Calculation Date (Format DDMMYYYY) - Length 8 - Required
6 Time Calculation Time (Format HHMMSS) - Length 6 - Empty
7 Value Value of Data - Length 20 - Required (Use dot for decimals not commas)
8 Currency Not applicable - Length 20 - Empty
9 FROM Ratio Translation Ratio from - Length 7 - Required
10 TO Ratio Translation Ratio to - Length 7 - Required
11 Other Not applicable - Length 5 - Empty
12 Status Error status (values 50..99) - Length 2 - Empty
13 Error message Error message - Length 80 - Empty
In excel you can define the column width with right click in the column. Doing that define every column with the previous length exposed. Fill the required fields.
You should use define every field in "Text" format because numbers like the first one: 01, must be 01 and it won't work with just 1. The same with date, if you have a date like 5012015 it won't work and has to be 8 digits like 05012015 (05.01.2015)
After you define every column width and define the required fields. Remember to delete the headers if you used them.
Finally save the file as .prn (Formated Text Space Delimited) and upload TBDM.
That's it

Exchange Rate Type M in MIRO

Hi
We have some issue in exchange rate . When i am doing MIRO this time i have geeting error enter rate / USD rate type M for 04.12.2009 in system setting.we have process different types Invoices with different currency in Miro to get this error message.
After i m exit in this MIRO screen. Than again enter MIRO T. COde and enter PO number this time i have no geeting any error.
We have check all the seeting in OB08 all are perfect. Colud please help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance
Why this error is geeting in first time.

Srikanth,
Yes, exactly it is the rate upon 28.01.2011that should be relevant for the actual document.
Exchange rate has not entered manually in document header by interface nor by user. Interface only feed document amount and currency i.e. no rates.
Standard quotation in table TCURN for GBP=>USD is:"1" Direct quotation valid from 01.01.1800
Standard quotation in table TCURN for "Blank"=>GBP is:"2" Indirect quotation valid from 01.01.1800
Translation ratio for currency pair GBP => USD for exch rate type M is 1:1, valid from 01.01.1800, alt ERT=blank.
Translation ratio for currency pair USD=> GBP for exch rate type M is 1:1, valid from 01.01.1800, alt ERT=blank.
Translation ratio for currency pair USD=> GBP for exch rate type M is 1:1, valid from 31.10.2010, alt ERT=blank.
Maintained exchange rate valid for the period 31.12.2010 - 30.01.2011 for exchange rate type M is 1 USD= 0.64114 GBP
Amounts in document are
Doc. Curr. Amount= 187.44 GBP
LC2 Amount= 281.16 USD
Rate used for LC2 Amount in document equals 1 USD = 0.6667 GBP
Correct LC2 Amount with rate 1 USD= 0.64114 GBP should be 292,35 USD.
Kind regards,
Linda

Exchange rate differences not found in CKM3

Hi ML Experts,
PO has been raised with foreign currency. At the time of GR, the same price has been paid at the same exchange rate. Only the other charges like custom and CVD charges were paid in an increased exchange ratio. Hence, all these exchange rate differences got posted to the accounts assigned in KDM/KDR. But when I see in CKM3, exchange differences are not found. .Is there any setting imissing or should be done?.

Hi,
Thanks Shaubhikg. This OSS notes describes about how the closing entries takes care of the both price and exchange differences of the material procured and production variances. But still my answer is unanswered.
My worry ts that since the exchange differences were captured in accounts of KDM but not seen when I see the material in CKM3. Any more inputs from you or from other fellow brethern!

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.

Exchange Rate being multiplied twice instead of divide and then multiply

Dear All SAP Gurus,
When my client was posting an Import PO (Foreign Currency = USD - Local Currency = PKR) in MIGO & MIRO, which were both entered on different dates, there was an exchange rate difference which was posted to the correct GL Account but with the wrong amount. Although I have defined the exchange rate correctly in OB08 for both direct quote and indirect quote. I have also maintained the translation ratio as 1:1 in OBBS.
I have checked that the correct rate in being applied in FB60 and F-53.
Exchange rate I am using is as follows:
15.10.2010 = 1 USD = 85.65
19.10.2010 = 1 USD = 85.90
The system should behave like this:
15.10.2010 - 700,000 PKR = 8,172.80 USD
19.10.2010 - 8,172.80 USD = 702,043.20 PKR
The system is behaving like this:
15.10.2010 - 700,000 PKR = 59,955,000.00 USD
19.10.2010 - 59,955,000.00 USD = 5,150,134,500.00 PKR.
I am a FI Consultant. Let me know if I am missing something. My MM Consultant is also testing whether is there something missing from his side. Kindly guide me on the above issue.
Best Regards,
Anss Shahid Essani

I have checked that the local currency is the same as my company code currency. I have also checked the ratio in OB08 and that is 1:1.
The PO is partially made in USD and Partially in PKR. In MIGO the conditions made in USD is correctly picking up the rate, that is 1USD = 85.95 PKR, but the condition maintained in PKR is showing the rate as follows, 1 PKR = 85.95 USD.
In MIRO, the system is then multiplying the rate again 85.95 USD = 85.95*85.95 PKR.
Although this is an unusual error, though we are still checking the conditions maintained in PO.
Kindly highlight me if you come with anything that we may be missing...

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 precedence

Hi,
If i have created an exchange rate for the combination of USD and GBP and GBP and USD (inverse) which combination will be given the first preference in determining the valid exchange rate.
Example :-
USD : GBP = 0.63910
GBP : USD = 5.00
In this example by error i maintain a rate of 5.00 for GBP : USD so essentially we have 2 different rates for difference combination of the same pairs. When posting documents which rate will be used?
Edited by: FICO Consultant on Jan 4, 2012 9:38 AM

Hi
Check OBBS transaction code. You can maintain different exchange rate types for same pair and have different translation ratio's.
For one exchange rate type, for one currency pair there can be only one data.
When you are posting in GBP as document currency and your local currency/company code currency is USD, it will take 5.
You can test this by giving currency as GBP and simulating a transaction in your test system. And also try vice versa.

Import PO picking wrong exchange rate

Hi,
Import PO is picking worng exchange rate. we have maintained ZIMP ERT for import exchange rate but system is picking ZEXP ERT for import.
Please advise.
Regards,
Raj

Hello Ravi,
1. Check the exchange rate maintained in OB08 for the currencies that involved in the F-02 postings on which you are trying to post the document (ie., Posting Date of the doc -> Check for the posting date of the doc and the rate maintained for that particular date in OB08)
2. Check the 'Source Currency' field in OB22 transaction. This controls whether the translation curr base should be either your transaction currency or 1st local currency.
3. Check the ratio maintained for the currencies that involved for translation in OBBS transaction. Is it 1:100 or 100:1

Utilizing different exchange rate type for same currency combination

Hello Gurus,
I wanted to get your opinion/experience in handling the following scenario.
We have company codes in different countries operating using different local currencies. There is alternate exchange rate type EURX defined for Exchange rate type M for many currency combinations due to business requirements. One country with local currency EUR is utilizing EURX SEK - EUR exchange rate combination.
Other country with local currency HUF is making use of exchange rate type MNB as an alternate exchange rate. In one of its transaction, where VAT is being calculated on its foreign transaction, HUF company is trying to seek rate of MNB SEK- EUR where country currency is SEK and document currency is EUR.
But since on the 'translation ratios for currency translation' table EURX being the alternate currency for that particular combination, even when we set MNB SEK EUR exchange rate, the system is obviously picks up EURX rate.
Has anyone come across similar scenario where different countries trying to get different exchange rate types for the same combination of currency? and If so, how would that be possibly handled through config or using something custom?
Thanks all for your replies in advance.
Regards,
Sagar K.

Hi Sagar,
In tcode OBBS, if Alt.exchange rate is used for any currency pair, then that rate is used ( EURX in this case).
All countries in EMU region uses EURX ( which is mostly fixed after introduction of EUR).
If the company is in different countries in Europe, then mostly EUR is used as Alt. exchange rate. which uses EUR as reference currency.
Ther is no country specific settings in std. sap for a currency pair.
Cheers,
