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.
Regards,
Lucas

Is it possible to change the standard exchange rate type?

Hi all,
at the moment, standard setting is that exchange rate type M is associated with the local currency of my company code, is it possible to define a new exchange rate type and assign it to the standard local currency instead of M?
Thanks!
Dusko

Hi
All postings and Clearing happen thro the Exchange rate type M which is the standard setting and cannot be altered. However for valuation and other purposes, we can have our own types

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.

Currency conversion with the wrong exchange rate type

Hi,
I need a currency conversion in my bex query. I have defined a currency translation key with a assignment to the exchange rate type "M".
When I check the results in the query it works with exchange rate type "EURX".
Exchange rates are in the TCURR.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hello,
We just had the same issue, and in checking the Currencies: Translation Ratios in transaction OBBS, I noticed that the currency translation key in question was set up with an entry of "EURX" in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I copied the line and created a new entry with a "Valid From" date of the current month, but without the "EURX" Alt. ERT alternate and that seemed to solve it.
Anything entered with a date after the new Valid From date would use the manually entered exchange rate, while anything with a prior date continued to use the EURX rate.
It appears to me that the "Alt. ERT" functions more as an override than an alternate, so if you want the system to actually use the "M" rate, I believe you have to ensure there is nothing in the "Alt. ERT" column.
I hope this helps.

Mass update exchange rate type (not rate) in open sales orders

Hi all,
Our requirement is to update the exchange rate type at sales order header (VBAK-KURST) for all open sales orders with a new type created. (Z001). This field does not appear in MASS transaction for sales orders despite being present in the structure MASSSDHEAD.
This field cannot be located even in VA02 transaction (I am not sure if standard SAP masks or shows this field at header; I also can't find any transaction variants assigned).
Can anyone suggest how this field can be updated for sales orders either individually or in mass mode.
Regards,
KC
SAP SD

You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
1. Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
3. click continue (don't select background)
4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
5. now start another session and go to transaction SE51
6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
Hope this answers your question

How to change exchange rate type for specific pricing condition type

Hello every one,
I have a requirement for billing ie VF01.
currently all the exchange rate are being calculated with exchange rate type 'M' by default.
but now client want it should calculate exchange rate with type 'E' for two pricing condition type for all others it should calculate with type 'M'
Please any body can help me with the exit and code which i can use.
I have checked exits SDVFX008.
but how to change exchange rate with type 'E' only for two conditions.
as changing exchange rate at document header will change exchange rate for all condition type.

You need to assign KOMK-KURST = 'E', for those two condition types. If it had been item number specific, you could have used USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK(RV60AFZZ).
Do one thing, put a breakpoint on FM 'PRICING' and then do selective runtime analysis.
Check whether any user exit/BADI/ explicit enhancement are available when condition types are processed in a loop. If nothing is available, try implicit enhancement.
Link to refer for selective runtime analysis - Runtime Analysis for VOFM
Also try with VOFM requirements ( not sure whether changing KOMK-KURST is permissable in requirement as normally we only set sy-subrc values to suppress/allow condition types ). Don't forget to assign requirements against condition types in pricing procedure.

Using an Exchange Rate Type other than 'M' in a Purchase Order

I use several exchange rate types in SAP for various currency positions, specificially with pricing.
As a result, when I create a Purchase Order I want to use a different Exchange Rate Type, instead of the standard 'M'. I have seen the rates can be placed directly in the Purchase Order, but I would like the system to look up the required rate using a specific exchange rate type.
Can anyone provide any suggestions or guidance based on prior experiences ?
thanks
gino ruggiero

Dear Gino Ruggiero,
The MM functionality always uses the "M" rate.

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.

Exchange rate type for version - error message GP541 during confirmation

Hi FICO Experts,
I bumped into a problem during confirmation in CO15. (I would like to get the SFG by mvt 101 and consume the raw material by 261).
The error messase I get is:
Maintain the exchange rate type for version 000 in 2009
Message no. GP541
Diagnosis
You want to use plan version 000 with controlling area 1000 in fiscal year 2009.
You have not specified an exchange rate type for this plan version for fiscal year 2009. Since the update of all currencies in 2009 is active in the control indicators of the controlling area, currency conversions are possible and sometimes also needed.
It is therefore necessary to specify an exchange rate type for plan version 000 in year 2009.
System Response
The system will not accept your entry.
Procedure
1. Please maintain plan version 000 first using the function 'Change Plan Version', or
2. correct your typing error.
I'd like to ask you to please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Csaba

go to Maintain Version at SPRO-Controlling-General Controlling-Organization->Maintan Version and do what ever it says. Provide Exchange rate type P or M would resolve your issue

ME22N change Exchange rate type at price condition level

Hello,
In ME22N exchange rate type is 'M' by default. When a price condition has currency different than purchase order this 'M' rate is used.
Now I need to change this 'M' rate but for particular price conditions (and exchange rate type can be different for each price condition). Don't ask me why:-) This requirement comes from business consultant and he knows that there is no user exit for this. I need to modify standard. The problem concerns items price conditions.
I'm not asking you for a complete solution, but maybe you can give me a hint where to start? What is the function module which perform price calculation (where exchange rate is used) in ME22N.
I tried to change KOMK-KURST in price condition rule (the procedure which is called to check if price condition has to be calculated or not). It is called for each price condition and I know a name of price condition. But I think the exchange rate type is read at the beginning and stays unchanged even I changed KURST.
I also found function module READ_EXCHANGE_RATE, which has rate type 'M' by default. I could put my modification in place where it is called. But it is not called when I press button Update price. It is only called when I change the currency of condition and press enter. This FM is called in few places in ME22N but not when I'm refreshing prices. Maybe during a refresh it has already an exchange rate? If so, READ_EXCHANGE_RATE could be a solution, but... It is not called when price conditions are created for the very first time (when I create PO item). Maybe system calls different FM?
I also tried to use trace (ST05) to see where systems reads from TCURR, but I think some buffers are used and TCURR is not in trace.
So now I'm stuck hoping for your help.
Best regards

Hello Rafal ,

The problem is that if I set a new exchange rate type, it will be the same for all price conditions. My requirement is to have different exchange rate type for each price condition. The pricing procedure will loop at each price condition, and depending on condition name I need to have different exchange rate type.
Example:
condition XMER is in EUR and must be converted to USD (factor should be 1,234)
condition XMET is in EUR and must be converted to USD (factor should be 1,567)
Now the factor is the same for all price conditions.
I have found interesting table XKOMV. It contains price conditions and there is a field with factor value. Now I will look for the place where this table is filled with data or for the place where I can modify factor values before XKOMV is used in pricing procedure.

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 not working during plan assessment in T Code KSUB

Hello Experts
We had different exchange rate types created for different plan versions. We had Exchange Rate Type Z1 for Plan Version 01.
We had maintained the same in Planning settings for the fiscal year 2011.
We had created a new plan assessment cycle with version 1.
Now when we execute assessment cycle it is not using the exchange rate from 01/01/2011. Instead it is selecting the rate from 01/01/2010.
Is there something wrong when we copied fiscal year 2011 from 2010 for version 01.
Request your inputs and help on this.
Thanks
Satya Alapati

Hi Ajay
Thanks for the information.
We had not maintained the value date for any of our versions since we keep changing the rates for every period and wish to have the system pick the latest rate for the period.
It has been the case in earlier years also.
Thanks
Satya

Different exchange rate type M in different company codes

Dear all,
I am facing the following very inconvenience problem:
I am an SAP consultant and has ALWAYS set up exchangre rate type M, the same rate used for all company codes in the Group.
My new customer wants to have different exhange rates for ALL company codes, that means we cannot use exchange rate type M for all company codes. All company codes in Sweden could have the same exchange rate type and so on, since all the rates within a country is updated with the rate from banks in the particular countries.
I think a solution could be to create worklists for every country and to always maintain all the rates against the local currencies within the country. This means in Sweden all the rates will be maintained against SEK, but never in any other way. That menas we can never maintain the rates from SEK to EUR in Sweden, we only maintain the rates against Sweden. I Finland however, all rates will be maintained against EUR (the local currency för all company codes in Finalnd).
Could this cause problems (or inconsistency) that incorrect rates will be used?
I am very very thankful for all help I can get in this question!
Best Regards, Åsa

Hi
Here you need to concentrate on Direct or indirect quotation
If you are using EUR to SEK (LC) - use direct quotation as 8.8307 1:1 relation
If you are using SEK to EUR - use indirect quotaion as 0.1132 1:1 relation
Pls let me know if you required further help
