Exchange Rate type Assignment to Company Code

Hi,
I'm working on the implementation of a new company code on a SAP R/3 4.6c release. I've created a new exchange rate type EURH (with transaction OC47) and I would like to know hot to assign it to my new Company Code.
Is there a specifc standard transaction? Could you please suggest me a possible solution.
Thanks!

Hi
Exchange rate type you cannot assign to a company code. Where as you can specify explicitly while document entry.
By default in SAP for a new company code system will use 'M' rate as standard. If you want to replce this exachange rate type with your new exchange rate type then goto SPRO --> General Settings --> Currencies --> Define transilation ratios for currency translation
Maintain new exchange rate type as Alt.ERT against 'M' rate then system will take new exchange rate instead of 'M' rate. Otherwise as I said earlier, you can use created exchange rate type in any company code by specifying in document entry or payment program, or you even can assign ex.rate type to a Document type, etc.,
Hope above helps.
Regards
Siva

Exchange rate maintainance as per company code or ledger in OB08

Hello,
Is it possible to maintain exchange rate as per company code or ledger in exchange rate table.
If not, please suggest any other alternative where I can maintain exchange rate as per company code or ledger.
Regards,
Tapan

In table T882, you can see ledger and company code assignment; with currency keys and additional currency types used for company code/ledger. You have option to choose the currencies at ledger and company code level, but not the currency type. Exchange rate type 'M' is used and even hard coded in many programs/transactions for actual postings. In planning, to some extent you have the option to choose exchange rate type, default is 'P'.

Exchange Rate Maintenance for two company codes..

Friends,
My client is having two company codes
X = India
Y = USD
US Company code is live for the last few years and India Company code is created recently and the same is live now.
Now when the US company code creates Purchase Orders / Scheduling agreements, the following error is encountered.
"Enter rate INR/EUR rate type M for 31.07.2008 in the system settings.:"
Now my question to the forum is that
1. If we maintain the exchange rates in OB08 will there any other effect ?
2. Is this error because One more company code is added to the same client which is operating in INR ?
3. When US Company code is not all transacting with India Company Code why is this error encountered.
Appreciate if some one can explain the pros and cons of this please. I am basically an MM consultant and I would also like to know the FI impact in this scenario, hence posted this question in FI forum.
Regards

Hi,
At the time of initial installation SAP would make EUR as base currency, so any new company code you create needs to have an exchange rate defined to the base currency EUR.
In your case you can define exchange rate to EUR and process PO, as per my knowledge there will not be any impact of this.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Exchange Rate type determination in PO

Dear all,
During purchase order creation for a foreign vendor, system looks into the exchange rate tables to determine the exchange
rate between the local currency and order currency (foreign currency).
During the rate processing system always takes the rate mainatined with exchange rate type "M".
We have a requirment where we want the system to look into the specfic exchange rate type for a company code.
For Eg, PO's created for the hungary company code, should look into the exchange rate maintained with exchange rate type HU01 which is mainatined in exchange rate tables and not from exchange rate type "M".
I searched all config elements on the MM side but could not find any. I also understand that we could set this using the invoice document type, but we need to have the po determined the right exchange rate type.
We are implementing SRM and the shopping cart or the PO created goes through the same logic , it finds the rate maintained in exchange rate type "M"only.
Kindly advise if we could set this config somehwere or could control through data.

Harish

Hi,
it is the sap std behaviour while creating the PO, picking of the exchange rate from the specified tables and from specified type.Seems you can not change.

Exchange rate type settings

Hello,
In same client one company code use reference currency as local currency (XYZ) for exchange rate type u2018Mu2019. Exchange rates are maintained on daily base for the exchange rate type.
New company code with different local currency would like to maintain exchange rate on monthly.
Both company codes use same document types in FI and other modules.
As per my understanding it is not possible to have to different exchange rate settings for same exchange rate type u2018Mu2019 in one client.
In case if we have to use different exchange rate type for new company code what are the things to be considered or is there any alternate way please advise.
Thanks!

Hi,
    You will have to create a new exchange rate type.
Throughout SAP rate M will be used for actual postings unless a different rate type is specified.
You can do this in:-
                  a) Document type
                  b) F110 - rate to be used can be specified
                  c) Customer Master Sales org data (for use in SD).
Doing a complete duplicate set of document types is unrealistic.You need to identify where the FX transactions are and create Document types only where needed.You will also need a new FX valuation type that uses the new rate.
When faced with this situation i only create 1 additional document type, to be used for Inbound invoices.This plus b) & c) for my companies covers 90+% of the FX postings.
Kind regards

New exchange rate type

1. Our client would like to maintain a new exchange rate type for the company code W100. Presently there are some 20 company codes are useing EURX exchange rate type including the company code W100.Is it possible to maintain new exchange rate type only for the company code W100 and what are all the procedure has to be followed to maintain the new exchange rate type?
Thanks and Regards,
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Ex-rate types are not limited to company codes. But a new created Ex-rate type XXZZ (OB07) even with all currency translation ratios and maintained Ex-rates (OB08 or TCURMNT) does not effect anything unless it is used (e.g. for foreign currency valuation,...). Steps for creating a new Ex-rate see in General settings / currencies in the Customizing.

Exchange rate type company code dependent

Hi Experts,
as I know in SAP it's not possible to maintain exchange rate types per company code. In function module FI_CURRENCY_CHECK the exchange rate type "M" will be always set for all postings.
Now I need a possibility to maintain exchange rates company code dependent. Do you think it's a good idea to change the above mentioned function module so it's possible to set an own exchange rate per company code? Do anyone have experiences or other solutions?
I also know that it's possible to set per document type an own exchange rate type and also it's possible to set in V_TCURF an alternative exchange rate type for "M". But both are not an option for me.
Best regards
Christian

Hi,
You cannot have diff exch rate types for different company codes, since exch rate maintainance will be at client level only.
Practically yours is a peccular requirement.
We can't figure out how system will behave in case if you modify th eFM as you said.

Default Exchange Rate Type

Dear All,
If we do not assign any exchange rate type to any document type or customer / vendor master data, the system picks the default 'M' exchange rate type. Can anyone let me know where this default setting has been made and whether this setting can be changed? What if I do not maintain exchange rates for 'M' instead I do it for 'M1'
I have a scenario, wherein I want to make exchange rate type other than 'M' as default and we do not want to make it at the document type level or customer / vendor master data level.
To make things more clear, this is not related to the realignment / foreign currency valuation. This is related to recording of invoice export / import or credit / debit notes..
Can anyone let me know how would this be possible?
Full points guaranted

Hi Swapvik,
The exchange rate type always is set "M" as default. The only way to
change the exchange rate type is with the customizing in the document type. If you are running the automatic payment program, you can also select a different exchange rate type. However, for normal document postings (trans. FB01), there is no other solution but to choose a different document type.
For example:
If you want to use exchange rate type B instead of M, in customizing you have to give Alt Ex.Type as B against M. So that it will take B rate whenever M is applicable. If you want this B rate to be applicable for specific document types then you can do the same at document type definition itself. Otherwise you can do the same At Payment program level/ Revaluation. These are the only places where exch.type comes into picture.
Please be advised that you can not change the default exchange rate type
for the 1st local currency. The default type for 1st local currency KURST of M cannot be changed. SAP does not allow for customers to setup a company code with an exchenage rate type other than M for the 1st local currency (because this could lead to exchange rate differences in the system which are not allowed).
Exchange rates are defined in SAP at a Global level via transaction OB08. In the IMG documentation for transaction OB08 (path General Settings > Currencies > Enter exchange rates) it explains that:
'The exchange rates apply to all company codes'
'The system uses the type M exchange rates for foreign currency
translation when posting and clearing documents. An entry must exist in
the system for this exchange rate type. The exchange rates apply to ALL
Company Codes.'
Hope this information helps.

Group Currency Exchange rate type.

Hi
We wanted to post a foreign currency document, with a specific Exchange rate, that is specified in the Document type.
Doument Currency is getting converted into Local Currency (Company code currency) based on the exchange rate type specifed in the Document type used for posting.
But, the Group Currency is getting converted from Document currency based on the Exchange rate type : "M" but based on the Exchange rate type specified in the Document type.
Is there any way, apart from specifying Exchange rate type in Parallel Currencies.
We wanted the conversion of Both Local (Company code) & Group currencies be converted based on the Exchange rate type specified in the document type, for some specific postings.
Following is our Scenario :
Co.Code Cur - EUR
Doc.Cur          GBP
Grp Cur           USD
Document type : XY -- Exchange rate type "1111" specified in the document type.
Now when a document is posted with Document type "XY" in Document Cur : GBP.
Both Local & Grp currency to be converted based on the Exchange rate type " 1111".
Thanks
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,
I will try to explain the system behavior, regarding to the exchange
rate question, "M" is standard exchange rate type used in R/3 so it's
not possible to change this default setting. However you can assign the
exchange rate type to each FI document type at transaction OBA7. The
exchange rate type assigned here applies to both online/batch postings.
Therefore you can assign a different exchange rate type to the document
types, but not per company code. The exchange rate that you customize at
document type level is validfor the first local currency. However, for
parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type
defined in transaction OB22. Please, check your customizing there to
check your changes.
If you want to use exchange rate type B, for example, instead of M, in
customizing you have to give Alt Ex.Type as B against M. So that it will
take B rate whenever M is applicable. If you want this B rate to be
applicable for specific document types then you can do the same at
document type definition itself. Otherwise you can do the same at
payment program level/ Revaluation. These are the only places where
exchange type comes into picture.

I have one compnay code for Hoilland Compnay 2000 & Second for Switzerland 1000. Both the companies should have local & Copany Code currency as EUR but for both the company code exchange rate should be different as per rate provided by their banks.
hence request you to please inform if any user exist or BADI is ther to over write the exchange rate M by any other exchange rate at the time of MIGO or PO creation & Sales Delivery.
Thanks & Regards,

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 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.
