Management of rate types

Dear gurus,
I have trouble on currency conversion. There are different kinds of rate types such as AVG, END, historical and so on. I don't know how the system manage each kind of rate type, I mean the calculation of the values per each rate type.
For example, I want to register on the system an historical rate, but I'm not really sure if the system makes the operations automatically through business rules or, it must be done manually by the user out of the system and subsequently registered on the rate cube.
Does anyone knows how it works?
Thanks so much

Hi,
1. These Rate Types are required based upon your business demand. If business want to translate any amount with historical rate, only then you need to maintain this in the dimension.
2. All the calculation will be automatic based on the business rule and dimension property, Just business suppose to maintain the conversion rate for historical rate type.
From the below link, you can find complete detail:

I hope this will help.

Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate

Dears,
I defined, in the document type to be used for Goods Receipt, the field T003-KURST (Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate) equal to u2018Pu2019: exchange rate type used also for standard translation for cost planning.
Then, I created a Purchase Order using a vendor in foreign currency, and in the header section within tab u2018Delivery/Invoiceu2019 in field "Exchange Rate" I filled in the exchange rate valid at the moment of the Purchase Order creation and I also put the flag in the indicator "Fixing of Exchange Rate".
Afterwards, I posted the Goods Receipt against the Purchase Order created at the previous step.
My expectations were to find in FI accounting:
- 1 line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST;
- 1 line item for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) valuated using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- 1 line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR.
but when I checked the accounting document, these my expectations were not met, because:
- the line item for stock increase (transaction BSX) has not been valuated using the exchange rate defined in the document type in field T003-KURST, but a differet exchange rate that I didnu2019t find defined for this couple of currencies;
- the line for GR/IR increase (transaction WRX) has been valuated as expected using the exchange rate defined in the Purchase Order and indicated as fixed;
- the line item for difference (transaction PRD) between stock and GR/IR has been created.
The help (F1) for field T003-KURST, show the following indication:
Exch.Rate Type for Determining the Proposed Rate
    Rate type under which the proposed rate is defined for foreign currency documents.
Use
    If no exchange rate is specified in the document header when entering documents in foreign currencies, the system will automatically select a rate from the currency translation rate table. The system then converts all amounts in the document's line items using this exchange rate.
    The system uses the average rate as a default value as long as no other exchange rate type is entered here.
Based on this message, my expectation is that all documentu2019s line items have to be converted at the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST. And in the case mentioned above, the line for stock (BSX) should be converted at exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST.
While, correctly, the line for GR/IR (WRX) has been converted at the exchanged rate fixed in the purchase order.
Can you please let me know how can be fixed the problem for the line related to the stock allowing the conversion using the exchange rate type defined in field T003-KURST?
Thanks and Regards,
Jody

Hello Jody,
kindly consider the information contained under the attached note:
191927 - Posting logic: GR for foreign currency PO.
As stated in it:
Postings to the material stock account (BSX):
In order to be able to determine the value of the stock posting, the
valuation methods which exist in the material master in local currency
(standard price, total value of stock) must be converted into document
currency. This translation is thus carried out on the posting date with
the exchange rate type that is assigned to the FI document type used,
that is, independent from the exchange rate defined in the purchase
order!
If no exchange rate type is assigned to an FI document type, the system
uses exchange rate type M.
Please, check in your system the settings stored in the customizing
transaction OBF4 for the document type WE (Goods receipt). If the field
'Exch.Rate Type for foreign currency documents' is empty, the exchange
rate type M is used.
The fixed conversion rate in the purchase order refers to the valuation
approach in the purchase order and, therefore, to the costs for the
purchased material. Therefore, the posting amount to the GR/IR clearing
account (WRX) is converted according to the fixed conversion rate in the
purchase order header.
On the other side the fixed conversion rate in the purchase order is not
designed for converting the posting values to the material stock account
(BSX). This conversion reflects the situation of the valuation of the
material stock and is therefore designed to be independent of the
conversion rate defined in the purchase order. This is what note 191927
outlines.
In the note 191927 you will also locate relevant information about the
postings to the KDM key:
Exchange rate differences (KDM):
As of Release 4.0A, exchange rate differences (KDM) can be posted to a
separate account. The exchange rate differences result from the
difference of the clearing value on the GR/IR clearing account (WRX) in
document currency that is translated to the current exchange rate stored
in the system in local currency from the clearing value in local
currency that is determined with the conversion factor from the purchase
order or the invoices.
The offsetting entry for the exchange rate differences is settled with
the price difference.
(Price difference = GR/IR amount - stock value - exchange rate
difference)
KDM is only posted during the GR if the flag T169P-XPLCU is initial,
therefore, KDM postings will not occur during incoming invoices.
This is determined in the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Logistics Invoice Verification
   -> Incoming Invoice
      -> Configure How Exchange Rate Differences Are Treated
Here, you have the following options per Company Code:
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the goods receipt and the
   exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt.
.- The exchange rate differences will be calculated from the difference
   between the exchange rate at the time of the invoice receipt and an
   assumed exchange rate that is valid for a specific amount of time,
   such as a year or a season.
.- No exchange rate differences will be calculated. Instead, differences
   from exchange rate variations will be considered as price differences
   and posted to a price difference account.
The field T001A-CURDT for the company code will determine which date is
relevant to calculate the exchange rate difference.
This is set under the IMG path:
Financial Accounting
-> Financial Accounting Global Settings
   -> Company Code
      -> Multiple Currencies
         -> Define Additional Local Currencies
So, finally, the value for KDM calculates as difference between
GR/IR amount in local currency - GR/IR amount in foreign
currency*exchange rate.
I hope this information can be of help.
cheers

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.
Thanks,
Nirav

Exch.rate type

Hi,
According Russian legislation need to do posting for all operations in foreign currency using exch.rate set by Cental Bank of Russian Federation.
Currently when we try to do posting in EUR, system uses exch.rate type EURX, which is managed not only by Russia and sometimes is different from needed exchange rate.
So, need some change in customizing to start using exch.rate type M.
And also, any authorization change or org.procedure change, that will prevent change of this exchange rate by non-Russia users.
So, what are the configuration have to do for this?
Thanks in advance.
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
1) Define Additional curriences
2) Mantain exchange rate types (OB07)
3) Currency translation ratio ( OBBS )
4) Currency Exchange Rates ( OB08)
5) Define Valuation Method (OB59)
6) Automatic posting procedure (OBA1)
Hope this will help You

Add Exchange rate type to Selection Screen in BEx

BW Experts,
Business raised a request to add Exchange Rate Type(KURST) from TCURR table in the selection screen of BEx so that they can select the required rate and target currency for a particular key figure.
In Query Designer we can provide variable for currency by going into the context menu of key figure but not sure how to provide a variable on Currency Conversion Key.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
-Bobby.

Hi there,
You could with user exit define a variable ready for imput but in step 1 prefill the variable with only those values, but this would still when the user executes when pressing F4 be able to check all that. Nevertheless that variable would be prefilled with the values you wish in user exit.
Another option is to mark 0RTYPE in RSD1 as authorization relevant and manage different authorization values for the users. This way you could when the user presses F4 see only values he/she is authorized.

Enter rate / EUR rate type M - Replace item with MDM 3.0 catalog item

Hello,
Up on importing a requested item with an MDM 3.0 catalog item via the 'replace with calog item' functionality we're getting the following error:
Enter rate / EUR rate type M for dd.mm.yyyy in system settings
The from and to currency are both EUR. I first of all don't get it why anything related to exchange rates is happening here.
Edit: I've investigated the problem a little more and it seems like the MDM currency mapping is not correctly set-up. The currency value maintained in MDM seems not to be taken into account when importing to SRM.
Anybody knows how to (pre-)view the OCI mappings from MDM > SRM?
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Masa,
I knew and had already checked that place. But what I actually ment is how can i see the MDM filling for f.e. NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY. I would like to know whether MDM is actually providing the NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY.
The field NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY for our repository is mapped with Price Information-Currency. This should suffice but it isn't.
I've tested the following: defaulting my users Local Currency to USD instead of EUR in the PPOMA_BBP attribute -> add MDM catalogi item in SC -> Currency is USD. While MDM currency is EUR. It's not mapped/read..
The field Price Information-Currency in MDM Data Manager contains as far as i can see value: EUR.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Tim

Mass update exchange rate type (not rate) in open sales orders

Hi all,
Our requirement is to update the exchange rate type at sales order header (VBAK-KURST) for all open sales orders with a new type created. (Z001). This field does not appear in MASS transaction for sales orders despite being present in the structure MASSSDHEAD.
This field cannot be located even in VA02 transaction (I am not sure if standard SAP masks or shows this field at header; I also can't find any transaction variants assigned).
Can anyone suggest how this field can be updated for sales orders either individually or in mass mode.
Regards,
KC
SAP SD

You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
1. Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
3. click continue (don't select background)
4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
5. now start another session and go to transaction SE51
6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
Hope this answers your question

How to change exchange rate type for specific pricing condition type

Hello every one,
I have a requirement for billing ie VF01.
currently all the exchange rate are being calculated with exchange rate type 'M' by default.
but now client want it should calculate exchange rate with type 'E' for two pricing condition type for all others it should calculate with type 'M'
Please any body can help me with the exit and code which i can use.
I have checked exits SDVFX008.
but how to change exchange rate with type 'E' only for two conditions.
as changing exchange rate at document header will change exchange rate for all condition type.

You need to assign KOMK-KURST = 'E', for those two condition types. If it had been item number specific, you could have used USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK(RV60AFZZ).
Do one thing, put a breakpoint on FM 'PRICING' and then do selective runtime analysis.
Check whether any user exit/BADI/ explicit enhancement are available when condition types are processed in a loop. If nothing is available, try implicit enhancement.
Link to refer for selective runtime analysis - Runtime Analysis for VOFM
Also try with VOFM requirements ( not sure whether changing KOMK-KURST is permissable in requirement as normally we only set sy-subrc values to suppress/allow condition types ). Don't forget to assign requirements against condition types in pricing procedure.

Error while creating PO- ENTER AUD / MYR rate type M(Currency).

Dear Friends,
While creating PO (PO-Currency with MYR u2013 Malaysia Curr), I faced this error message:
Error:: ENTER Rate AUD / MYR rate type M for 11/02/2009 in system settingsu201D
In OB08, I maintain the currency conversion, then system allowed. But:
Query:   My PO currency is MYR (Malaysia currency)
        Why system checking with AUD.
                Any config?
Please help.
Best regards,
LEINAL

Hi Leinal,
There is a config missing in SPRO-img.
Go to t.code OB08 and check for the dir and indir quot for currency conversion for
AUD to MYR and vice versa.
Hope either of the above 4 combinations is not maintained for the specific date.
Cheers
Arun.

Using an Exchange Rate Type other than 'M' in a Purchase Order

I use several exchange rate types in SAP for various currency positions, specificially with pricing.
As a result, when I create a Purchase Order I want to use a different Exchange Rate Type, instead of the standard 'M'. I have seen the rates can be placed directly in the Purchase Order, but I would like the system to look up the required rate using a specific exchange rate type.
Can anyone provide any suggestions or guidance based on prior experiences ?
thanks
gino ruggiero

Dear Gino Ruggiero,
The MM functionality always uses the "M" rate.
Not able to release Purchase doc.

HOw to see currency pairs in Exchange rate type

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to see currency pairs in an exchange rate type?
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure this is a right solution. But I have some inputs on your requirements:
1. For traveller cheques you may create a new payment method and do the required configuration for automatic payment program. Don't generate any payment medium while running APP.
2. For currency notes (cash payment) I am not sure how it works. But probably it is possible by creating an account (account ID) for a particular house bank and use that (house bank & account id) for making payment.
Per my knowledge we have never used payment method cash (currency notes) in APP. But logically it would work by create a new payment method and doing the required config for APP.
Please update if you found a better way to do this.
thanks & regards,
Kumar
