If fixed Exchange rate is not given in PO header details, the it will take exhange rate maintained using T code OB08.
Pl maintain exhange rate both ways for Type M ie IR to GBB & GBB to INR.

Are two Exchange Rate types possible in Controlling ?

Hi SAP Experts,
My Client wants Exchange rate type "P" for Planning/Budgeting only and Exchange rate type "M" for all other documents in controlling.
In versions for fiscal year 2011, Exchange rate type "P" was configured and all documents in Controlling have been posted with exchange ate type "P" till now. Now Client wants two different exchange rate types only for documents that get posted in controlling.
Is there any way to restrict exchange rate type "P" only for Planning/Budgeting and Exchange rate type "M" in other Controlling documents ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
K.S.K

Thank You very much Ajay Maheshwari. I have tested the scenario in our testing system and it worked fine. The system picked exchange rate type "M" in CO actual postings and exchange rate type "P" for CO planning, since "P" was maintained in versions for year 2011.
Thanks again for quick turnaround.

Exchange Rate type Posting wrongly in GR

HI all,
when i create Purchasing Order I gave Exchange Rate 58.10(Euro to Inr)
But comes GR System is taking Average Type (M) = 58.77
we want in GR same as a PO Rate.
Can you tell me anyone how to configure and where to change in Configuration.
Plse help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
At the time of GRN system picks exchange rate from Exchange rate table ; t-code OB08.
Maintain the required exchange rate in the said table & take GRN.
If user wants the exchange rate same as PO to do the same 2 options are available
1) Maintain the same exchange rate in OB08
2) In Purchase order header level option is there to fix the exchange rate. tick that option.

How system calculate Exchange Rate for material?

I have some doubt how system calculate exchange rate for material when doing GR.
For example, standard price of material is 0.01 USD per ea. PO is created in foreign currency (THB) with qty: 40,000 ea (THB 2,852.00)
Actually when I do GR ea then accounting doc is:
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB)
for 2nd and 3rd line item, exchange rate M (THB -> USD) is 0.03108 which is correct.
Could anyone advise where system get exchange rate for 1st line item?

Hi
First of all, as mentioned by you, the exchange rate for Item 2 and 3 is not 0.03108.. It is as below, based on the figures given by you...
Dr. Inventory 400 USD (12,800 THB)........ Exch rate is 0.03125
Cr. GR/IR 88.64- USD (2,852.00- THB)....... Exch rate is 0.03108
Cr. Variant 311.36- USD (9,948.00- THB).... Exch rate is 0.0313
I guess the item 3 is just a derivation from Items 1 and 2.. The Price diff results as a difference between std cost and purchase price...
I believe, the exchange rate would have been 0.03125 at the time of GR... You need to check this in your system... For sure, it uses exch rate type M in the standard... Check if 0.03125 (USD -> THB) or 32 THB -> USD exists in your system at all
Item 2 is based on your PO negotiated rate...

Exchange Rate Types Used In What Transactions

Hi Experts!
I was inquiring on if there is a way to see all exchange rate types ("M" and alternative exchange rate types), with respects to where they are used, posted, and most importantly, what all transactions use them. The exchange rate types we use are M (system), Z1 (custom), and 0011 (custom). Even if there is a SAP note, on this, that would be helpful too. Urgent! Thank you for your time!
WC

Hi Will,
Execute transaction code OB07 to see all the exchange rate types within your system.
The following should help you to understand where they are used and which transactions used them.
In planning, exchange rate types are used to specify exchange rates used for different purposes at the same time in the system. Existing entries may not be deleted.
When exchange rate conversions take place between many different currencies, using a reference currency can simplify maintenance of exchange rates. For the exchange rate types concerned, you then only have to specify the exchange rates in relationship to the reference currency for all currencies. The SAP R/3 System then carries out all exchange rate conversions in two steps, using the reference currency.
As well as a buying rate "G", you can also maintain a selling rate "B".
The buying rate is that under which the average rate "M" is recorded.
When maintaining a buying rate, enter the appropriate currency type for the average rate. This reduces the amount of work required in the conversion table.
The selling rate is that under which the average selling rate is recorded.
The user need only maintain the conversions for the average rate. The conversion occurs by determining the average rate and then adding the difference between the rates to this rate.
If an entry for a currency conversion is missing, the indicator Invert ensures that the reversed currency relationship, should one exist, is available for the conversion.
Standard settings
The standard R/3 System includes exchange rate type P (standard translation for cost center accounting).
Note
When you create a controlling area, the SAP R/3 System creates version 000 automatically for 5 years. Rate type P is defaulted.
The R/3 System uses rate type M for currency conversion during postings and clearings of documents.
Recommendation
Before creating your own exchange rate types, check those offered by SAP and use them if appropriate.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

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.

Lucas

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.

Alternate Exchange Rate Type Not Picked while converting from Document Currency to Group Currency

Hello Gurus,
We have setup an alternate Exchange Rate type MNB for rate M for the postings happening in Hungary. Local currency is HUF. Group currency is USD.
If the document currency is, lets say, EUR, latest MNB rate is correctly picked up (EUR to HUF) and postings are correctly converted into local currency (HUF).
Although, for the same document, when a group currency is being calculated (EUR to USD), exchange rate type M is being picked up. Same happens if document currency is HUF. Even then, the conversion is based on exchange rate type M.
Is this a normal SAP behavior? How to prevent/correct this? This is also throwing off balances when we check in FAGLB03 or BSEG values in local and group currencies. In OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M and we may not want to make any changes there as it is setup at global level.
Do we need to run any valuations after the fact? if so, how?
Thank you for your inputs in advance.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
You mentioned that "in OB22, we have local currency1 and local currency 2 setup with exchange rate type M". Then, I'm wondering how MNB is picked up for the first local curr. conversion to HUF? It should be 'M' instead. There must be some settings in your instance for such behavior. Can you check that?
Actually, Group Curr. conversion happens with the rate defined for 2nd Loc.Curr.in OB22 which is 'M' in your case. Therefore, all the transactions are converted with M instead of MNB.
Since you can't change OB22 per global co.policy, the exch.rate defined in OBA7 will overrule OB22. However, you've to make sure it's set up for all doc.types which are affected and posted in different curr. than HUF.
As a workaround, another thought would be to maintain the same conversion rate for both exch.rate types MNB & M, for eg. HUF > USD rate is the same both exch.rate type MNB & M. This way, you ensure all transactions are posted with correct exch.rate irrespective of whatever rate type is used.
From business, & global org. perspective, I'm sure they are sending the 'M' exch.rates to all their sister concerns monthly, so they would like to consolidate results as per standard rate in their system. Then, why ,as a local company, would you like to fiddle with standard process? It's a management decision, please run them through again before going ahead.

Nirav

Selling Exchange rate type is not picking while billing

Hi,
We have maintained Exchange rate type B for selling and the same was assigned in customer master as well as the RV document type. While raising sale order system is picking the B rate from OB08 table, but at the time of billing system is taking the M rate. Where do i set a control to pickup only B rate? Can anybody help me on this.
govind.

Hi,
Ideally at the time of billing, exchange rate type is picked up from the document type (RV in your case). However if the rate is picked up for standard exchange rate type, check if there is user exit being called for exchange rate type.
Thanks,
Aman

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,

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 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.

How can we know where the exchange rate type is used?

Hello experts,
I have a question regarding exchange rate type.
There is a custom exhange rate type ZXXX in our system, however, we don't know where this exchange rate type ZXXX is used. Is there any method that we can find where this exchange rate type is used?
Many thanks.
Christina.
Edited by: Christina wang on Nov 28, 2008 4:28 AM

Exchange Rate Type is created in SPRO:-SAP Net Weaver>General Settings>currency>Check Exchange Rate type.
It is used for maintainace of Exchange Rate in OB08 for direct & indirect quote..
