Changing decimal places for currencies

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete begginer to SAP BI and I need to change a value in SPRO > General Settings > Currencies > Set Decimal Places for Currencies, but the option that I want doesn't exist.
I need to add a new entry with the value: currency - EUR6 and decimals 6, but there is no 6 available. Can anyone tell me where can I add this or what is the table where this information is???
Thanks in advance!
Rogério Brá

ok I think it works - just try and play
This is what I did (sort of same scenario - if you get my drift)
Currency Key MGF - translation ratio 1000:1
Exchange rate is : 11:02750 to the Euro
Invoice entered for 1,000,000.00
Currency calculated as 90.68 eur
(ie 1,000,000/(11.02750 * 1000))
You can play aroudn with direct/indirect to ge the factors right
But it works (I thought it did - I am qualified FICO honest!!)
This wont get you around displaying 6 decimals - BUT it will help with currency conversion

Changing Decimal Places for Currencies (Table V_TCURX)

The instance is ECC 6.0
We need to change the decimal places for a currency from 0 to 2 decimal places. Is there any impacts of doing that?
Also need to add some currencies which are not in the table. Is there anything need to be careful while doing this. If this table is updated, do we need to update any other tables also which may be impacted?

Hi,
It is not recommended that when postings have already been made, that a change in the currency be done, as amounts posted can become invalid or incorrect as a result (ie USD 100->1.00), which is most critical in production environment Please go through the note 137626 When you made changes via OY04, the effect of which is across all clients.
To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect, in a productive system.
You must never change decimal places in a productive system if you have documents posted with this currency. Such a change could lead to inconsistencies in these documents already posted.
In case you really decide to use decimals you may consider to use SAP conversion services for them to convert all documents aready posted as explained in note 434349.

Decimal Places in Currencies

Dear gurus,
What is the decimal places in currencied?
how it works in table tcurx.
Regards
R.Rajendran

Hello,
During operation, you must neither delete currencies used nor change their definition of decimal places. Amounts in posted documents could become invalid or incorrect as a result.
You cannot subsequently use R/3 standard functions to make a consistent change to the number of decimal places of a currency in the R/3 system that is already operatively used because the system interprets all amount values on the database according to the number of decimal places of the reference currency that is stored in the system.

Question about decimal places for currencies

hi ,experts ,
   here is the problem , when i use mb5s, i found the net price has been enlarged 1000 times . I also found the data of the table EKPO has been enlarged 1000 times. So ,i check the decimal places for currencies , i found there are five decimal places , the standard system is two decimal places .
   Does this mean that we cann't change the decimal places in SAP? If we can change , what should we do for configuration ？

Changing decimal place of price field

Hi Experts,
Can any one let me know the impact of changing decimal place of 2 digit to 3 digit for the field NETPR & NETWR in EKPO table?
Requirement is to maintain very negligible amount like 0.001 for some of the items in PIR, contract and PO.
Suitable answer will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Pushparajh S.

0,01 per 10 is certainly zero and this is not allowed.
Where is this getting rounded? can you name the field?
Of course it does not make sense if you just order a quantity of 1 haivng a price with 3 decimals when the currency allows only 2 decimals, because you cannot pay the 3rd decimal.
such prices make only sense if you buy huge quantities. e.g. 20000 kg with a price of 1,255 Euro per KG,
this is a total of 25100 Euro then, and here the 3rd decimal is about 100 Euro for the total quantity.

How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base qty

Hello PP members
How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base quantity in BOM ?
Thank You

ur first question is not understood, You can have maximum of 3 decimals in BOM item qty.
Base qty is the qty which is refered to all the BOM items.
example -
Product X, base qty 1
Raw material 1 - componen t qty= 1
Raw material 2 - Component qty= 5
This means To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1 and raw material 2 qty 5.
This means To produce Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10 and raw material 2 qty 50.
This is the meaning of Base qty..it is the referece qty refered to all the components.
About the decimal places
let us say example 2
To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1 and raw material 2 qty .0001.
When you enter this in SAP for the raw materialm 2 system will give error message that you need to enter the qty with maximum 3 decimal places, hence you need to enter as below
Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10 and raw material 2 qty .001.
This is how you need to adjsut the base qty and component qty with decimalplaces moer than 3,

How to set two decimal places in currency inr

hi,
i want to set two decimal places for my co.code currencu inr. In t-code oy04 there is no 2 decimal places. Please tell me how set decimal places so that amount in account balances should be in two decimal places.
thanks
amol

Hello,
If your currency code entry isn't in OY04 customizing step, your currency code has 2 decimal place automaticly. If you want to define a special decimal place without "2", you must define it in OY04.

Change decimal digit in currency setup

Dear All
we used SBO 2007 B for japan country
we used 2 digit decimal for JPY currency and JPY is also maintained as local currency
we have already inputed transactions in the database
but now we need to change the decimal digit from 2 digits to be without decimal
how to do it ?
please advise
thank you
Best Regards
JeiMing

Hi JeiMing,
it is very well documented that it is no longer possible to reduce the number of decimal places once you have transactions.
It is also well publicised that a database will no longer be supported by SAP should direct manipulations of the tables be detected.
The best solution of your problem is a reimplementation into a db where the Yen has no decimals. You can use copy express for the basic set up & master data & then export transactions from the old system, cut off the decimals & import into the properly set up database.
This way the customer has a clean & supportable environment.
All the best,
Kerstin

Decimal places in currencies from flat files

Hi experts,
I am facing a problem in the way BI is managing decimal places when I extract them from tex files. I have read a lot of post and make a lot of changes and the problem persits. Here is my problem. I am uploading data from text files. These files come from 6 different source systems. All developments are already in production so changing the way they send the data it would be the most expensive solution at this point.
For all currencies ratios I receive in the file could contain these 3 kind of values:
5.45
3.2
4
Decimal indicator is "." but it is not always present and sometimes is follow 1 decimal pla or 2, which is ogial to expect depending of the nature of the value. I haven't been able to make it work for all the cases.
I have set "." in RSCUSTV1 as decimal separator. I tried number format "direct entry" in the extraction Tab of data source. I have tried all possible combinations in the tab fields with data type CURR, DEC, even CHAR and Internal or External format, and any configuration I have made works only for some cases and not for the others. I don't know what else I can look at. Your help will be highly appreciated and rewarded with points.
Regards,
Raimundo Alvarez

HI guys and Thanks for your help.
I could solve my problem. There were some issues already fixed (a combination of the external property in the tab fields, the configuration for decimal separator and a problem with the currency). The main one was giving me the headache that I am trying to import a currency but I was not receiving the currency from the source because is always the same (Colombian Pesos). This one has an special configuration in table TCURX that was making the decimal places be wrong. I solved requesting the currency from the source even if it was a constant value.
Thanks for your help,
Rai.

Decimal Places for Currencies

Impact on the processes of change at MM decimals for Currencies.
We want to use foreign currency to 6 decimals anand two decimal places for the currency of society

Dear José Luis Flores ,
Please always make sure your business process not reach the limitation of overflow during
the conversion as the Price it is always with 11 characters with 2 Decimal place (9,2) in standard.
All together 13 characters.
If this limitation was reached, you will received the dump message. This is normal and you had to
make sure it suits your business requirement in the beginning to avoid any changes later . You
had to plan it before do this type of customizing in very beginning.
Thanks

Query regarding decimal places for currencies

Dear all,
SAP standard allows 2 decimal points as default for any condition value. However, based on the entries in TCURX table we can set number of decimal places with reference to specific currencies.
In our system there is no entry in TCURX table against USD currency. Still the system is taking 3 decimal places against the expected 2 decimal places.
Is there somewhere hardcoded this for US or are they any additional settings impacting this? Please help
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi All,
I have been trying to set 3 decimal places. I got the reference to Note # 38881.
This is what I did:
1. Create a new currency US$ and set the decimal places to 3
2. Maintained the prices using VK11.
3. Changed the customers' sales area currency to US$
But when I created the sales order although the system determined the prices in 3 decimals i got the following information message which keeps on showing during the entire sales order creation:
Pricing error: Mandatory condition ZMAC is missing
Message no. V1801
Details are as below:
The obligatory condition ZMAC does not exist. The document is therefore considered to be incomplete from the point of view of pricing.
The cause can be, for example, that a condition record does not exist for condition ZMAC or that a field overflow has occurred when the condition rate was calculated.
Procedure
Check why the condition could not be found. Use the pricing analysis function on the pricing screen to do this. If necessary, add the missing condition manually to the document.
I believe I am missing some configuration that should be done in pricing, not sure what. As this question has been flagged answered, hope someone would be able to help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh Singh

Changing Decimal places in table TCURX

Hi There
We have a business requirement to change the decimal places in table TCURX from 3 Decimals to 5 Decimal places. No previous postings have been made in foreign currencies.
If no transaction data has been posted in foreign currencies yet, will this have an impact?
What will the impact be?
Regards

Hi,
Refer to this SAP text:
In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this
amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD,
be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. To change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime
aspect be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can
thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of
2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists
Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.

Change decimal places in a KF

Hi,
I have a KF Amount with Data Type = CURR.
This KF has a data element associated ( automatically associated when is created) with Lenght 17 and Decimal places 2.
The KF is used in a ODS as Data Field.
Now the user want to update the field, with 5 decimal places.
I tried, but I couldn't change the Data Element. I read a thread that the Data Type has to be change to FLOAT instead of CURR, but when I see the Data Element it changed to Lenght = 16 and Decimal places = 16, and I cant set the decimal places.
So, Could someone help me?
Thanks, Federico

Hi Federico,
The table 'TCURX' determines how many decimal places the Key figure display the values. Mostly they are of 2 decimal places but in the query you can changing in the properties of the key figures to display 5 places. But you would typically not see all correct values. It will just do a rounding with 5 decimal places.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Hima

Changing Decimal Places in CUNI

hello,
my company's requirement as of the moment is to increase the decimal places being displayed during service request for Activity Unit (AU). current setup is 3 decimal places. we need it to at least 10 to ensure almost exact computation.
i tried changing the decimal places in TC CUNI, but it wouldn't let me proceed. Per error message the ISO code for AU is similar with PC, which is PCE. Upon checking in DEV, PC has no ISO code, but it has in PRD (PCE).
1. how do i go about the ISO code error?
2. what is the impact of changing the decimal places now that the system is live for 8 months now? will it affect existing POs?
3. if it is no longer advisable to change the setup, how will we dispose the difference between the billed amount of contractor against the amount generated during GR/IR and MIR7?
thanks in advance, gurus.

thank you for your inputs, Jeevan. we've tried up to 100,000 since any more will make the PO exceed the original contract amount.
the contract involved will be delivered in a span of many months, and billing and payments will depend on percentage of completion.
i hope someone can enlighten me as to how other companies do it, best practice or not. i'm pretty sure those in construction or property development will find this case familiar. or maybe point me to an article or anything.
thank you for taking the time.
