FAH Default Conversion Rate Type

Hello all,
IN FAH you can assign the system source 'Default Conversion Rate Type' to the accounting attribute 'conversion rate type'. Great! But what rate type will it pick up, where do you set this default rate type?
thanks
Abe

Vamsi,
You are right. I tested and I got error 95357 'There is a missing system source value. Please inform your system administrator or support representative that: There are no values for the system source Default Conversion Rate Type used by Oracle Subledger Accounting.'
So that leaves me two choices: a custom source (not recommended for performance reasons) or an additional column in the transaction object which is a bit silly as it will always be populated with the same value. Any suggestions for a better approach are welcome.
thanks

Receipt Default Conversion Rate

Hello,
We create a Receipt Interface Script to create the Transactions Automatic and receive the items from the PO, when we checked the receipt created the conversion rate was coming from the PO Header but now comes from the PO Distributions and our script has not changed, does anyone know what could have happened and how to solve it?

Default Exchange rate type at document type level for parallel currencies

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein 2 parallel currencies have been maintained (Grp & index based) against a Co Code and have maintained a default exchange type (Z2) in the Document type settings (OBA7).
But when I want to post a foreign currency document, system picks Z2 rates for Co Code currency conversion and not for Grp & index based. In fact it picks M rate for these addtional currencies.
I know that for parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type defined in transaction OB22 ( "M" rate) which is at Co Code level but I want default exchange rate type Z2 to be picked at Document Type level for all the parallel currencies.
Please suggest how to archive this.
Thanks,
Sam

Dear Sam,
The exchange rate type defined in the FI document type (-> field
exchange rate type in transaction OBA7) is only used for the currency
translation from transaction/document currency into first local
currency, not for the currency translation into second local (group)
currency or for the currency translation into third local currency.
The exchange rate types for the currency translation into second
local (group) currency and third local currency are defined in
transaction OB22.
Unfortunately there is no option to change the exchange rate of 2nd or
3rd local currency in our posting transactions. The design doesn't
regard that requirement. But you have the chance to adjust the parallel
currencies in OB22 or to change the amounts manually.
I hope this helps.

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.

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

Default customized exchange rate type

Hi friends,
I have an issue during an implementation.
I want to use a customized exchange rate type for all forex transactions for only 1 company code in the system having several company codes. Please let me know how do i set the customized exchange rate type as default for a particular company code
Regards
Srinivasan

Hi,
SAP has defaulted exchange rate type M in the function module. So if exchange rate type is not assigned to a document type, default M is picked.
In case you want to have a default ex rate type other than M, that too for a particular co.code within the client, you would have to use specific document type to which this new rate type is assigned.
There is no other way out.
Hope it resolves your issue.

User-Exit to modify exchange rate type for Accouting document

Hi,
My requirement is as follows.
I am creating an incoming invoices which in turn creates an accounting document.
The document currency for the accouting document is different from the Company code currency. In such a case, the "Exchange rate type" provided in the customization of the "Accouting doc type" is picked up and the exchange rate is determined for the conversion.
I need some user-exit/badi/bte where I can override default "Exchange rate type" for my accouting document.
Regards,
Abhishek

Provide the exchange rate in the BAPI to create the incoming invoice document.

No daily exchange rate defined for rate type Corporate

We are entering a transaction in AR for currency XDR (Nav Path in Receivables: Transactions->Transactions; Form Name: ARXTWMAI, FOrm Version: 11.0.62).
The currency XDR is supposed to be IATA Rate related and has nothing to do with Corporate Exchange Rate (i.e. Bank rate). We have IATA Rate and Corporate conversion rate types (Nav Path in Receivables: Setup->Financials->Currencies->Rates->Conversion Type).
While entering the transaction, we get this message:
"FRM-40735: ON-INSERT trigger raised unhanled exception ORA-20000.
ORA-20000: GLMCCURB: There is no daily exchange rate defined from XDR to MUR for MAY-00 for rate type Corporate.

Cause: An attempt was made to find a sequence for this document flexfield. The option says Sequential Numbering is only partially used.
Action: None is necessary unless you expected this document flexfield to have a sequence defined."
We checked the Daily Rates from XDR to MUR (Nav Path in Receivables: Setup->Financials->Currencies->Rates->Daily) and it shows only IATA rates, which is correct since XDR is not for Corporate rate type.
What we don't understand is why the error message prompts for an exchange rate to be defined from XDR to MUR for rate type Corporate.
Where is it defined that the transaction should look for rate type Corporate? Should I define it to look for IATA rate type for such kind of transaction?
Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Andrew Li,
1.For the first message, please check to your DBA, maybe there is some patches should apply.
2. For the error msg APP-01728: An assignment does not exist for these parameters. Do you use document sequence number ? If Yes, make sure your document sequence has been assigned to proper SOB, and then please check profile option for Sequential Numbering. The Sequential Numbering profile should Partially Used or Always Used.
I hope it will solve your problem

Exchange Rate Type upon PO/PR

Hi Experts,
Is there a config to default exchange rate type upon PO/PR creation? I was told that by default it will read type 'M' and I'll be the happiest man if it can link to type 'M'.
In my case, it reads from other type i.e. '2004'. Thus, I was wondering how does it reads and is it based on configuration? Thanks in advance.

I suggest you to check global company code(mentioned in po/pr) setting
for exchange rates in spro financial accounting ??.
Whether new po's / pr's were created from existing or old documents ?

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.
Kind regards,

Foreign Exchange Rate Type - M and EURO

Hi All,
My customer is maintainng the M exchange rate type as
1 USD = 106 JPY
along with this they are maintiaing a extra Exchange rate Type EURO as
106 JPY = 1 USD
Comany Code Currency is JPY.
In the document Type level they are not maintaing any of the exchage rate type. Means system is picking default exchnage rate type. As we know M is the default exchange rate type.
So, now customer doesnt want to maintain the EURO exchange rate type.
So, i want to know
1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
Looking for early response.
Sachin

1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
<There is no impact as long as this is not used by any other applications. For eg, In controlling, project system, budget, at FI document type level etc, we have option of choosing different exchange rate.
2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
No relation
3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
< You can see this at Table level eg - BKPF. But at front end I dont think it is possible atleast upto 4.6C4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
<To my knowledge, System will not allow to maintain rates in both types. so question of option doesnt come>

Define exchange rate types according to ledgers

Hi Everyone,
I am facing a problem about the exchange rate types.
I want to set different exchange rate types for my leading ledger and local ledger.
for example, the leading ledger 0L is defined for IFRS with default exchange rate type M.
the local ledger LL is defined for our country China and i want to use own-defined exchange rate type say Y001.
is it possible realize like this in SAP.
thank you so much!
regards,
samson

Hi, Samson:
I am not sure whether it make sense to have different exchange rate for same two currencies in different countries, for example, in China and US, exchange rates for RMB and USD are different in same situation, like buy-in...
Your question about exchange rate definition in Non-Leading Ledger - it is impossible to do that in Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers.
For the purpose of Ledger approach for parallel accounting, it is used to meet the reporting requirements basically, for example, IFRS or USGAAP or HGB, but not for exchange rate type...
If you get any surpurise information, please share with me. Thanks.

Currency Conversion for Exchange rate type "AS02"

Hi Experts,
I am gonna post the most challenging problem (regarding currency conversion) I ever faced in my 1 year of BW Carrier.Kindly provide a solution.
There are three types of currency to be used in the query for Key Figure 0NET_VALUE (so total 3 Key Figures to be created)
   1.Document currency (may be any currency)
   2.Local Currency (must be EURO)
   3.Global Currency (must be USD)
From Document currency to Local Currency(EURO) we are using Exchange rate Type "M" (in Conversion Type created in Trans RRC1) [There is no problem in this conversion]
Problem starts now--->
From Local Currency(EURO) to Global Currency(USD) we have to use Exchange rate type "AS02" (in conversion type to be created in RRC1)
but there is a Business requirement that currency rate should be as per the last day of the entered period;and this logic should work for the range of periods also.
Example :
we are executing query for the period 006/2006 (posting Period)
Last day of this period is 06/30/2006,
Currency rate would be as per 06/30/2006
And this currency rate should be same throughout the period 006/2006 in query
The example was for single period,but logic must be incorporated for the range of the periods.

Hi..
There is no corresponding source key figure in the InfoSource for the target key figureof the InfoCube.
a. A source key figure of the same type can be assigned to the target key figure
(for example, sales revenue instead of sales quantity revenue).
If the currencies of both of the key figures are the same, no currency
translation can take place.
If the currencies are different, a translation can take place either using a
currency translation type or by simply assigning a currency.
The following table provides an overview of possible combinations with different
currencies in the source and target key figures:
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) No CT
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) CT or assignment
b. If there is no corresponding source key figure of the same type, then you have
to fill the key figure for the data target from a routine.
If the target key figure has a fixed currency, no currency translation is
carried out. This means that if translation is required, you have to execute
it in the routine.
If the target key figure has a variable currency, you also have to assign
a variable source currency to the routine. Using the F4 help you can
select a currency from the variable currencies in the communication
structure. You have two options:
You can select a variable currency and assign it.
You select a currency translation type and a currency into which you
wish to translate (To currency).
The To currency is, by default, the target currency if it is included in the
communication structure.
Creating a Routine for Currency Translation:
If you want to translate currencies in the update even though the currency translation is not
available for one of the above reasons, you can create a routine. Choose Routine, set the
Unit Calculation in the Routine and choose Create Routine. In the routine editor you get
the additional return parameter UNIT, the value of which is used to determine the target
1. save the query and it under role
   see to it is in   : Restricted and calculated key figures --->   properties of k.f
2. exeute the query
3. the currency translation --> by target currency usd choose OK
conversion type : MEANTODAY Fixed target currency current date (MT)
4. Go back to the query definition by chossing chage query ( global definiton)
5. in the context menu for % share sales vouume of incoming orders, choose properties --> formula collision --> result form this formula choose OK
Note that -
your should alos set the currency translation in the properties for the two key figures sales voule EUR , choose properties ---> currency conversion key : fixed target currency , currrent date ( MT) --> target currency : American Dollar . choose   OK
<b>The translation key is a combination of different parameters that establish how the exchange rate for the translation is executed.
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and the target currency, the exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.</b>
The source currency is determined from the data record or dynamically from the master data of the specified InfoObject (currency attribute)
The target currency can either be fixed in the translation key or selected at the time of translation.
You can also use an InfoObject (currency attribute) to determine the target currency.
The exchange rate type distinguishes exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame next to each other, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored and can be maintained in a central table (TCURV).
The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable
The fixed time reference can either be a fixed key date that is stored in the translation type, or be determined using the system date when executing the currency translation.
If the time reference is variable, then the point in time for the exchange rate determination comes from the value of a time characteristic (InfoObject). The reference can, for example, be the end or the start of a fiscal year or a calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. It can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject (for example, trading day).
Currency translation in the BEx
When selecting a translation key with a fixed target currency     this currency will be added automatically to the query definition
Also, you can use translation keys selecting their target currency at the time of translation. These can be applied in two different ways:
Selection of a specific target currency in the query definition (1)
Entry by variable (2)
Dynamic translation keys require input from the InfoCube !
InfoObject value will be read during query execution
Examples:
dynamic time reference (p.eg. 0CALDAY)
      time characteristic
target currency determined by InfoObject (currency attribute)
     characteristic which contains currency in its attribute table
the corresponding InfoObject has to be part of the InfoCube
1.Define the currency attribute in the InfoObject maintenance
The currency attribute has to be a unit InfoObject of type currency
The unit InfoObject must be an attribute of the characteristic
The currency attribute should be filled in the master data table of the corresponding InfoObject (manual maintenance or upload via InfoSource)
2.Enter the InfoObject in the translation key maintenance
Only InfoObjects with a currency attribute can be used in translation keys (p.eg. 0COMP_CODE)
At the time of currency translation the value for the source currency / target currency is then derived for every record from the master data table of the specified InfoObject
All values for a query are translated ad hoc (after having executed the query) using a translation key
Depending on the translation key a fixed target currency will be used for translation or you will be able to select the target currency
The ad hoc currency translation offers only restricted functionality (selection of translation key and target currency) compared to the currency translation in the query definition
Do not forget to create your translation keys before starting your work in the Business Explorer Analyzer
Example:
You load the following record to your InfoCube:
Company Code:                1000
Amount in Source Currency:      500,-
Source Currency:                FRF
Target Currency:               ?
In the Update rules, you are now using a translation key which derives the target currency from the InfoObject 0COMP_CODE. During the Update Process the target currency will then be read for Company Code 1000 from the master date table of 0COMP_CODE.
With the currency translation in the Business Explorer, the source currency can currently only be determined from the data record.
Only translation keys with a fixed exchange rate type can be used in the BEx
Translation keys with a dynamic time reference (from an InfoObject) can only be used in the query definition. It is not possible to fill the InfoObject by a variable !
Translation keys getting their target currency from a currency attribute can only be selected in the query definition
When getting the dynamic reference from an InfoObject (p.eg. 0CALDAY) the currency translation will apply to each record read from the database. That means it will use the date in this record for the currency translation.
When using a variable you will restrict the output of your query to a certain amount of data. For example, you would translate all invoices of March 11 with the translation date March 11
This means, the requirement show me all invoices in my cube in group currency, conversion date: 14.07.2001 could not be solved by a variable input for 0CALDAY
I hope this would help...
with regards,
hari

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.

Default New exch.rate type at Purchase Order.

Hi,
We would like PO to be created with new Exch.rate type.
Are there any settings in MM/FI to default a different exch.rate type say u201CZu201D instead of u201CMu201D at the time of PO?
There is one in FI Doc. type, but it refers at the time of GR or IV, whereas we want to change at PO.
Will appreciate if someone can throw some lights?
Thanks,
Nirav

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Is the user exit for exch.rate type?? I understand the exit to keep the exch.rate fixed.
but, I believe it should be std. config. in SAP to define somewhere which exch.rate type should be used by PO.Because, currently PO is refering to "M" which we want to replace with new exch.rate type.
Thanks,
Nirav
