KP98 - Differences because of exchange rate types

Hello,
I am using KP98 transaction to copy actual data to plan data.
I take CO area currency for example and the system copy the amount correctly in my CO area currency, but in object currency there is a difference because of the exchange rate types ( actual and budget exchange rate types are different)
Is it possible to copy the same amount in the two currencies?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
during copying the data in CO area currency are converted into local currency based on the ex.rate settings in the CO version definition, the local curr. data is not really copied.
If you have an ex. rate that is changed every period it should be possible to copy the first period (with the correct ex.rate settings in CO version definition), change the ex.rate setting, copy the next period, change the ex. rate setting again, copy again,...
Best regards, Christian

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 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.

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
taro

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 not visible

I want to maintain my own currency convertion method in BW ,we can do this in T-code RSCUR
I have maintaned my Exchange rate type in the table TCURR and then use this as the Exchange rate type in T-code RSCUR but when I press F4 ifor Exchange rate type in RSCUR I am unable to see my value
Pls help me out
priya

Dear Maya,
I guess this is because exchange rate types are stored in a separate table TCURV. In TCURR you just have exchange rates.
Could you please check if your exchange rate type is stored in this table as intended?

Exchange Rate Type Problem

Hi All,
I have problem with Exchange rate conversion. The system is not picking correct Exchange rate in billing Invoice of FI from SD.
The scenario is I have created Exchange rate type as Z and alternate currency type is FGE1. I created new one because bussines does not want to use EURX as it is fucltuating it needs fixed rate type. So I have create Z & FGE1 as exchange rate type.
Now In customer Master I have in Sales area Tab I have maintained Z as exchange rate type. So I create SO in SO I can see it is showing me Z as exchange rate conversion value.
So when it comes to Accounting Document the values from GBP to EUR get converted into EURX rate type. Which is very surprising to me. My company code Currency is EUR Dcouemtn CUrrency is GBP.
So can some one give me where the problem is arising.
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi,
Use transaction OBA7 and check if exchange rate EURX type is defined for document type RV
Remove entry EURX in the document type RV and maintain Z or FGE1 whichever you want....it will be done..

Exchange rate type

Hello everyone,
I would like to know the differences between the different exchange rate types, particularly EURO, EURX and M.
From what I've read:
EURO is the fixed currency between old EMU-participating currencies and the Euro (DEM<->EUR, ...).
EURX is a variable rate between non-participating currencies and the Euro (USD<->EUR, ...)
What about M? What's the relationship between M and EURX?
How are these exchange rates maintained?
Is there such a thing as an average monthly exchange rate in SAP?
Best Regards,
Luís.

Hi:
M exchange rate type is maintained in Territory where floating rate of exchange is in voyage..ER are maintained in OB08 with type M along with rates for foreign currency,,TCURR and TCURF are the tables where ER are stored.Open item Valuation in foreign currency are done based on rates entered in OB08...Hence when ER is fluctuating we use an average ER type M as provided by SAP...This can also be made specific to document type in OBA7..

Exchange Rate Type Specific for ICB

Hi fiends,
In our company, we're currently using exchange rate type USDX (it was defined in OBBS, where the exchange rate type "M" is assigned to "USDX" (which we're updating on a daily basis).
However, for the ICB (intercompany business process) I don't wanto to use the exchange rate type USDX, I want to use the exchange rate type ICB, which we will maintain on a periodic basis.
What customzing should I activate to enable the system to distinguish when to use the the ICB exchange rate type (for ICB PO's)?
I don't can't default the exchange rate type in the document type level (OBA7), because we use the same document type for ICB and non-ICB PO's.
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Hi Alex,
You should update the OB22 and assigned the parallel currencies with the right Exchange rate. Instead of assign USDX or M, you might choose another ExRteType for this inrco comapany.

Pricing exchange rate type

Hello All,
Please expalin the on pricing exchange rate type in copy controls.
Copy from sales order
Price exchange rate = Accouting rate
Exchange rate determination according to billing date
Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
Exchange rate determination according to current date
Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered
User will change the bill to party during billing based the bill to part currency will be determined at billing header.
But currency in sales order is INR and if user changes the bill to party(Foreign) currency in billing will be EURO
and user want to cancel the invoice cannot able to cancel because currency from sales order to billing is different.
How can we fix the issue. Can we use any of the above mentioned pricing exchange rate types to fix the issue.
Best regards,
ramesh

Hi
See SAP Note 22781 - Exchange rate in accounting, exchange rate type, problem C. It explains how to work the data en table TVCPF (data mantained in tcode VTFA). I suggest to set a break point in this coding and debug it to undertand how it works.
I hope this helps you

Pricing Exchange Rate Type in Copy Control VTFL

Hello,
We have Pricing Exchange Rate type in the Copy control from Delivery To billing ( VTFL) at item level.
This Exchange rate type is used for price determination in the billing document. there are several options available for this field.
A     Copy from sales order
B     Price exchange rate = Accouting rate
C     Exchange rate determination according to billing date
D     Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
E     Exchange rate determination according to current date
F     Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered
Normally the Exchange Rate in the accounting document is determined based on the rate available in the system on the billing date.
now what is the difference between "B" and "C".
I could not find any change in the way it processed when i put B or when i put C .
Does any one know what is the impact on the system if we select B or C. In what scenarios we use "B" and in what scenarios we use "C"
Your answers are much appreciated.

Hi,
what is the difference between "B" and "C".
B Price exchange rate = Accouting rate
This value is used to determine the EXCHANGE RATE based on the Rate maintain in the ACCOUNTING DOCUMENT TYPES in OBA7 Transaction code irrespective of what determined in the ORDER
C Exchange rate determination according to billing date
This value determines the EXCHANGE rate based on the Rates maintained in the Transaction code OB08 and get the values from the table TCURR based on the BILLING DOCUMENT DATE.

System will determine the exchange rate type based on value maintained in exchange rate table.Tcode OB08.
It will post the difference if any in the GL mentioned in transaction event key KDM in tcode OBYC.

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

AP- Why exchange rate type between Post invoice and Post payment is differe

AP- Why exchange rate type between Post invoice and Post payment is different ?
Hello,
I have question
when post AP invoice , document type KR
document date = 11.12.2009
posting date = 31.12.2009
entry date = 05.01.2010
this document using exchange rate type B (standard translation at bank selling rate) on 31.12.2009 (use posting date )
but when post payment for above document,document type ZP
document date = 25.06.2010
posting date = 25.06.2010
entry date = 24.06.2010
this document using exchange rate type M (standard translation at average rate) on 23.06.2010
please answer
why do post invoice and post payment use different exchange rate type?
and why at payment donot use posting date for get exchange rate ?

Nanas,
Sorry if im not being clear...
My point is: the difference rates customization for payments is done at FBZP.
At Paying Company Codes, you have 4 flags for exchange rates differentes.
At Control Data look:
*Do not Post any Exchange Rate Differences:
If the indicator is not set, the difference between the exchange rate at the time of posting and the exchange rate at the time of payment is determined for items which are posted in foreign currency. The payment program uses the translation rate in the currency table in the system for this purpose.
*No Exchange Rate Differences for Partial Payments:
Has the effect that the payment program for partial payments (requests for payment using transaction F-59) does not post exchange rate differences.
*Processing of Bill of Exchange Payments:
*Separate Payment for each Payment Reference
Regards
Bruno
