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.

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

Payment Program and Spot Exchange Rate Type

Hi Everyone,
When performing wire transfers in foreign currency, my company wants to be able to have the payment program, F110, be able to convert the payment to the vendor based on the bank's spot rate at that moment in time. I found that we can use exchange rate type "G", update the rate within OB08 prior to running F110, input the exchange rate type "G" within the Parameter section within "Exchange rate type" and process the payment program as normal.
My question is this: We have a few separate companies that would use this feature with the possibility of receiving different rates from their respective banks. How would this work if 2 companies had 2 separate exchange rates for the same conversion on the same day? I found that once you enter in an exchange rate for a conversion, you are stuck with that rate for that particular day, so the amount can not be over written with another rate to be used by the second company code. Is there a way around this or is there a different way to accomplish the converting of currencies at the payment program?
Thanks.
Pete

Hi Peter
Use two different exchange rate type for bank1 and bank1. Upload the exchange rate into the system. Select house bank and specified rate type during the payment run.

Exchange rate type P is picking in contract master while ist should take M

exchange rate is maintained for M and P in OB08, we want to get the exchange rate from exchange rate type M to contract master. but it is picking from Exchange rate type P. where as echange rate 'M' maintained as a current yaer( 2011) . but exchange rate P maintained of 2010 ( previous yer). but still its a taking exchange rate type P. we want to take it From M.
Please guide us........facing this issue for so many days....
Thanks in advance....

Hello,
By default exchange rate type M will be used unless another exchange rate type for e.g. P is specified as Alternate exchange rate type. Then translation rate taged to exchange rate type P will be used.
Check "Alt. ERT" (Alternate exchange rate type) in OBBS, the suggestion is if exchange rate type M is desired then the "Alt. ERT" input should be empty 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.

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

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 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

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?

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.

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

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.

Why exchange rate type "EURX" is used ?

Dear all,
I post with FB65 a document with currency EUR.
The local currency is THB and group currency is CHF.
The document type doesn't have specific exchange rate type ==> by default the type "M" is taken.
But, when I post a document with currency EUR, the system doesn't take the type "M", but the type "EURX".
In this case, I don't want to use "EURX", but I want to use "M".
How can I do ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

Please check the configuration in OBBS. You would have specified an alternate exch. rate type (EURX) for exch. rate type M for the currency pair in question.
Please refer to the following notes as well.
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/139553
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/123819
PS: OB22 would not tell you anything.

Exchange rate type in costing run.

Hi all,
In costing run, we use price from customer info record.
Info record is in USD and material is in CAD (Canadian dollar).
During costing run, all the materials are taking exchange rate 'P'. This is correct (as 'P' is maintained in controlling area version)
But for one material alone exchange rate 'M' is being picked up.
Could you please share if you have any idea as to where to check and where the problem could have been.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DSK

HI,
Whats the CO-area currency type? I guess for the case you've mentioned there is no currency conversion possible with ex rate type "P", so ex. rate type "M" is taken as a 2nd best option.
To check if converison is possible use SE37, function module "convert_to_local_currency", use the "test" button (F8) and key in the data required for currency conversion (type of rate "P").
Best regards, Christian

Exchange rate EURX not calculate exchange rates between USD and GBP

We have set ExRt as following:
Exrt Usage Ref. crcy
EURX EMU EUR
we have "EMU" flag checked also.
We are maintaining exchange rates (EURX) for EUR with all others currencies.
We expected that, if we have a CoCode set in GBP and we post a document in USD, SAP will calculate GBP <->USD from exchange rates EURX(USD/EUR) and EURX(GBP/EUR). It seems to be incorrect because the system is ignoring EURX exchange rates and using "M" GBP-USD exchange rate and this was not expected by us.
Could you please tell me if it is correct to expect SAP calculates USD-GBP Exchange rates from EURX(USD/GBP) Exrate or I am wrong and I need to maintain "M" exchange rates for USD-GBP.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please check the following settings :
Go to IMG --> General Settings ---> Currencies ---> Check Exchange Rate types
Select the Exchange Rate Euro and check mark the EMU check box . Save it

Currency Conversion - Rate Type Selection

I have a BEx query that displays key figure in 3 columns inside a structure, using variable rate types (one rate type per column). We have rate types P, P1, and P2 loaded into currency tables.
I run this query with the following selection criteria:
Column 1 -- Key Figure in Local Currency (BRL)
Column 2 -- Key Figure converted from BRL to EUR using rate type P
Column 3 -- Key Figure converted from BRL to EUR using rate type P2
For some reason column 2 is converted using rate type P1, instead of rate type P, even though rate type P1 is not even part of the selection screen. Column 3 is converted correctly, using rate type P2. I enter the same time period for all 3 columns, and rate types P and P2 both exist for this time period.
Do you know what's going on here?
Thank you.
Nadia

Hi,
see if there is any currency conversuion type used in you report.
It can be checked in the properties of the key figures.
you can go to RRC3 to check which echange arte is used by this currency conversion.
Or if currency conversion is happening at the update rule then check if which is the exchange rate used there.
Once you have seen the exchange rate...go to t-code SPRO
SAP Netweavet->General Settings->Currencies->Enter Exchange rate .
here you cah check the latest exchange rate ...from currency to currency...and the values...based on settings of you currency conversion type it will chose the factor.
Thanks

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
