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

There is not such Tcode to change the default exchange rate from the PO.
If you want you can confugure the exchange rate in the following path in the IMG,

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.

To set the "Pricing Exchange rate type" in the billing document

Hello SAP Experts,
I have a customer requirement to determine the "pricing exchange rate" as "C Exchange rate determination according
to Billing date" in Billing documents ONLY for specific Sales Org and customer Country and NOT for ALL sales orgs.. This field is present in the Item level copy control setting.
This will ensure Exchange rate will be based on "Billing date" and NOT from date copied from Sales order for that specific Sales org.
Can I write this validation in the Billing document User-exit -RV60AFZC to achieve this functionality? Or there would be some Configuation required?
If anyone has worked upon this kind of requirement or know the method to achieve this, can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.
Umesh Karane.

In that case, you can try with USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP. Alternatively, you can also add this logic to your existing routine assigned in Delivery to Billing copy control against the field "Data VBRK/VBRP". Similarly, for all such copy controls as you mentioned.

Is it possible to change the standard save location (flexible / automatically) in Adobe Acrobat XI?

It was possible in Adobe Acrobat IX to save always there where the original file (e.g. xxx.doc) was. The window that appears after clicking "save as ..." had always the location of the original file. How can I make this option in A.A. XI? I don't find any options for that.

Unfortunately, you can't. It usually works OK, but if it doesn't there's nothing you can do about it.

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.

Parallel currencies - Same currency but 2 different exchange rate type -

Hi Expert,
I need your knowledge - I want to create a romanian company with 2 currencies - the first one will be RON company currency with the standard exchange rate type used for all others company of the group (maintained monthly from German National Bank exch.rate)
The second one will be also RON, currency of the trading partner, but with a specific exchange rate type (maintained Daily from the Romania National Bank)
I would like to work in this way to satisfy the group, which need to work with a monthly exchange rate for X reasons, and our Romanian company for which the daily exchange rate is mandatory.
If you have some experience on it, please give a feedback, not in detail (certainly to much work) but at least if I can go on this way or not. if you know a black point in some transaction (I think to the fixed assets, or stock valuation ....) and if you have an advice to have the correct value in RFBILA00 for example.
Thanks a lot for your help
Nathalie

There are many approaches for different exchange rates maintainence.
Here are the information required to process your query.
1. How many company code do you have in your company
2. what is group currency maintained at client level
3. Do you use special ledger or under new gl
4. will you customer allow to deviate from the iso standards of currency maintainence like RON for romanian to ZRO for same romanian currency.
Expecting input for processing your query.

Is it possible to change the formatting of Excel in place

Hi,
is it possible to change the standard formatting of columns and texts when using Excel inplace (Excel on the web for the BPS )?
Many thanks,
Simon Cohen

Simon,
I am afraid you can't modify styles using excel in place.
Note 632333 says the following :
List of the features the Excel OWC can use from the template:
Text format - font, size, colour
Cell format - background colour, border, alignment
Number format
"Simple" formulas
Panes Split and Freeze (only for Office versions 2002(XP) or higher)
Nevertheless this applies only for cells which are not filled by BPS runtime. All texts and values written by BPS runtime into the template use standard styles. The styles cannot be changed, see below.
List of features that are not available in the Excel OWC:
Styles. Consequently no changes to the SAP standard styles are taken over to the OWC. Therefore the features mentioned above are available only for the cells not containing a transaction specific data
VB Macros. When needed, the designer can use a script language (VBScript, JavaScript) to access the DOM of the OWC. You can include HTML into a text component in the Web Interface customizing (tn BPS_WB) and place your script code there.
Cell and text formats not mentioned above (e.g. text orientation,...)
Line brakes within a cell
Panes Split and Freeze (only for Office version 2000)
Embeded elements (like form objects, pictures, background picture,...)
Having more than one worksheet in the Excel OWC
In comparison to HTML based planning layouts the Excel layouts do not identify the position of the documents.
Hope it helps,

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
Siva

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.

Group Currency Exchange rate type.

Hi
We wanted to post a foreign currency document, with a specific Exchange rate, that is specified in the Document type.
Doument Currency is getting converted into Local Currency (Company code currency) based on the exchange rate type specifed in the Document type used for posting.
But, the Group Currency is getting converted from Document currency based on the Exchange rate type : "M" but based on the Exchange rate type specified in the Document type.
Is there any way, apart from specifying Exchange rate type in Parallel Currencies.
We wanted the conversion of Both Local (Company code) & Group currencies be converted based on the Exchange rate type specified in the document type, for some specific postings.
Following is our Scenario :
Co.Code Cur - EUR
Doc.Cur          GBP
Grp Cur           USD
Document type : XY -- Exchange rate type "1111" specified in the document type.
Now when a document is posted with Document type "XY" in Document Cur : GBP.
Both Local & Grp currency to be converted based on the Exchange rate type " 1111".
Thanks
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,
I will try to explain the system behavior, regarding to the exchange
rate question, "M" is standard exchange rate type used in R/3 so it's
not possible to change this default setting. However you can assign the
exchange rate type to each FI document type at transaction OBA7. The
exchange rate type assigned here applies to both online/batch postings.
Therefore you can assign a different exchange rate type to the document
types, but not per company code. The exchange rate that you customize at
document type level is validfor the first local currency. However, for
parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type
defined in transaction OB22. Please, check your customizing there to
check your changes.
If you want to use exchange rate type B, for example, 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
exchange type comes into picture.

Needs Diff. Exchange rates type for sales trans and Purc Trans

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is that for a same foreign currency i need to pick two different rates one for purchase related activites and another for sales related activites. is that possible in standard SAP.
Example of my scenario:
My company code currency is INR.
on 10.09.2007 if i make purchase of goods in USD system picks the rate i maintain for usd from the exchange rate type "M".
On the same day if i make any sales in USD system is picking it again from the same exchange rate type "M', but i want to pick it from exchange rate type "G".
Kindly Advice me what to be done.
Thanks and Regards
Karthik

Hi,
For SD related transactions, you can maintain the exchange rate in Customer Master - Sales Area Data. In Sales Tab you can maintain "Exchange Rate Type" for transactions related to that Customer.
Probably, for MM you can continue with the standard M.
Thanks

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
