Multiple Currency

Hi all,
As most of you will know when posting FI documents that SAP only allows one currency to be used with other currencies being derived, such as company code currency, paralell currency etc.
As an example of what SAP does not allow is posting of a document with two line items where the currency for the first line item is USD and the second line item currency of EUR. This is not allowed as the currency is set at header level rather than line item level.
What I need is a comprehensive explanation of why SAP does not allow this as most systems competing with SAP on the SME market do allow postings like this. Systems like Axapta allow each line item to be entered with different currency so why does SAP not allow this??
Hope you can help me to understand this.
Regards,
Gudmundur

Thanks for this Dominic,
I agree on the accounting principle issue, however as I mentioned Axapta does allow this kind of posting and there the only requirment is that the document balances in the company code currency. So each line is translated into the Company Code currency and as long as DR = CR in that currency and all the automatically derived currencies they allow the posting.
Each document would therefore balance in all the derived currencies but the actual line item currency would in fact not matter to much except for reporting purpose.

Multiple Currency Payroll Payments for one Employee

Hello,
We have a requirement of paying one employee in multiple currencies (i.e in Local currency and USD). This means that such employee has two bank accounts, i.e. Local Currency Account and USD Account.
The costing of payroll costs is done in the local currency. Does anyone know any standard procedure for this?
P.S we are using Global Legislation

Hi Salman,
Have you tried this from Element Define window. There is functionality for Input and Output currency.
Hope it could meet your requirement.
Thanks

Multiple currency in PO/MIRO

Hi Friends,
In the PO, the vendor is from Japan, so the document currency is in Japan. But the freight condition currency is in MYR which we dont want to convert into JPY. Here the system converts all the condition type currencies into document corrency i.e. JPY in this case. After Goods Receipt, when I see the FI document in MIGO T-Code, all the posting
comes in JPY and when i change the postings into local currency i.e. into MYR, there is a difference of RM0.02(2 sens) in the posting. As the freight condition value is in MYR, we dont want system to change it to JPY as freight charge not relevant for PO printout. Because os the conversion factor, a podting having difference of 2 sens is done.
At the time of Invoice Posting through MIRO T-Code, all the charges are converted into JPY irrespective of their actual currency mentioned in the PO. Inside "Simulation" tab I can see the delivery/material cost in only 2 currencies i.e. JPY and MYR. I cant see the currency in USD as one of my delivery charge in PO is in USD. My invoice comes in respective urrencies as per PO. Please advise how to post invoice in multiple currencies as per the currency mentioned in PO.
Thanks & Regards
Satya

Hi,
Document currency of PO will be single and all the condition type values are converted to the document currency.
For condition types where currency conversion is required, please goto config (T code M/06), select the condition type and under Control data 2 tab, tick currency conversion. This will remove rounding of errors in case of multiple currecies.
Hope this info helps

Decimal Places in Purchasing (multiple currencies)

Is it possible to change the price field to accept more than 2 decimal places in purchasing documents (contracts/PO) in a live production system for multiple currencies ?

Hi Raja,
No, if the said currencies already have transactions since, in SAP the values are stored without decimals. This the warning of SAP
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid..
But you can denote in another way viz.
1 Kg of material X = 0.012 / Kg
can be denoted as 100 kgs = 1.2

Plan, Actual & Commitment Report in Multiple Currency

Dear SAP gurs,
Is there any report where I can see Plan, Actual & Commitments in Multiple currency (see below format). In standard SLAR reports, values are displayed in one currency at a time either I can see in INR or USD.
Here each WBS is planed in USD as well as in INR. If PO is raised in USD, then actual value should be shown against planning done in USD.
WBS Elem     Plan          Actual          Commitment
     USD     INR     USD     INR     USD     INR
WBS1.1     3000$     1000INR     500$               500INR
WBS2.2          50000INR          10000INR          300INR
Thanks,
Venkat

Dear Venkat
Each of the views in the hierarchy reports (such as 12KST1C) can
only contain values for one currency at a time (because totals for
multiple currencies would not make sense).
Since only one currency can be displayed at a time, the Trans.currency view is not meant to show values in multiple currencies; rather, the Trans.currency view only provides a reference to the user of the currency involved in the Plan and
Actual postings. For example, if the actual postings had been in
mixed currencies like:
Doc. date Cost elem.    Value COCurr CO.Cr      Value TranCurr TCrcy
   01-07-2007 911010000                 800   XXX                        1700 YYY
   01-07-2007 911010000              3,000   XXX                        3,000 XXX
Then the Trans.currency view would have contained:
Trans.currency         Plan             Actual
YYY                            0             800
XXX                         3,700           3,000
Result                     3,700           3,800
You can always switch between currencies in the report Settings ->
Currency, but only one will be displayed at once.
I hope this explanation helps you to understand the standard system
behaviour.

Financial Plan in Multiple Currency

Hello,
In the HTML screens I want to create Budget Lines using Multiple Currencies. This means create a line in USD for a certain Task and for the same Task create also an Euro line. I've checked the Multiple Currency option at the Financial and Workplan also added each Currency to the Work - and Financial Plan. Still I'm not able to enter Budgte Lines in other than the functional currency USD. Can someone help me out on this one or send information how this functionality has to be ste up in Release 12?

First you need to do setup for the Multiple Currencies under "Plan Settings" Tab of Planning Options. Check "Plan Amounts in Multiple Currencies" check box and in the "Currency" Tab select the different currencies like EURO and give the rate.
Now go to your Budget Lines and add 1 budget line using your default USD currency. Now select that Budget Line which you have created using your Default Project Currency and also select "Add Currency: EURO" from the Drop Down List of "Select Planning Elements" and press GO button. This will create another Budget Line using EURO Currency. Now enter the Quantity & Cost and see the difference of Cost Calculation.
I hope it's clear for you.

Reporting Multiple Currency Rates

Hi
Wonder if anyone has completed a report or know's a way of creating a currency report with more than one translation rate, ideally in SAP standard reports (Painter, Query or Drill-down etc).
The report is from PCA and we have GBP as the main currency. We need to submit a report in EUR with 5 (yes 5!) different exchange rates on the report.
The report layout is as follows:
Act Act Fcst Fcst Bud
Mth Ytd Mth Ytd Ytd
Each column has a different rate Translated from GBP into EUR.
We would ideally like to maintain the exchange rates in the standard way, so we can default them in the report, or allow the users to enter the individual rates in the selection screen.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Bryn

Hi Shivaji,
If Kenya is you Business Area and you want all reporting at Business Area level. You need to do the following:
1.Balance sheet of kenya branch is to be prepared in INR: In OBY6 for your company code check the box Business Area in Fin Statements and make Business Area as mandatory field for all your transaction.
2.day to day transactions at kenya is to be at their currency (KES) only as per statutory requirement in kenya .
While doing transaction the transaction currency will be KES and maintain Exchange rate in OB08
3.Receipt or payment may be in KES or USD
4. sale to nearby countries will be invoiced in their currencies & payment made by them will be in their currency or USD.
Please use the concept of Multiple Currencies.

Multiple currency conversion via one variable possible?

Hello,
following problem:
I have a report which contains different currencies (e.g. EUR, CHF, etc.).
In this report we have different calculated key figures (on cube level).
Each key figure have different currency conversion (maintained in rrc1).
Question: Is it possible, when the user starts (execute) a report one variable
pops up e.g. display all key figures in USD all different currency conversions will be reflected? In the system I don't know where.
Any idea?

Ok, I find a solution by myself.
In the AdminInfo object is a property called MultiCurrencyCheck. When this is set to cc_NoMessage, I can save the journal entry.
If you want to change this setting in Business One:
Select Administration --> System Initialization --> Document Settings --> Per Document tab --> Journal Entry tab
There is a check box "Allow multiple currency transactions". The description is wrong and it should say "Block multiple currency transactions", like the other. When it is unchecked, I can make multiple currency transaction otherwise not.

Report Painter - Multiple Currencies

Hi,
I would like to know on how you create multiple currencies in report painter. We have a requirement
whereby we have 3 different columns:
Current Year (Actuals) ---> Exchange rate Type X
Prior Year (Actuals)
Plan Current Year -
> Exchange rate Type Y
My question is how can i create a report that will enable me to prompt for exchange rate of Actuals and Plan data as we would like the user to enter different exchange rate type for actual & plan.
Appreciate your help.

Hi,
I'm afraid, it's not possible via Report Painter (to have different columns calculated by different rate); you'll have to develop a report in ABAP for this.

Eli

Multiple currency prices for items

Where do you set up multiple currency pricing for an item.
The scenario that I have is for oil products from Shell oil. I have created an item for each product but can only set up the price in GBP on the item record purchasing tab. However the price is in different currencies eg USD and EUR depending upon which supplier site / delivery point is required.

Hi CrashOverRide,
In our practice regarding multi-currency consolidation:
1. We define the local currency of each small enterprise.
2. Set up a currency conversion rules.
3. Create a group currency where you will define what currency each of the small enterprise will be consolidated to.
4. Set up the consolidation business rules.
The idea will be is that, first all of the small enterprise will be translated to a common currency that is defined in your group currency and then from there, the consolidation rules will apply. So depending on how many currency you want to view your consolidated data, your need to create a group currency for each.
Hope this helps,
Marvin

Material Ledger Multiple Currency

Hello,
We have a problem with ML - multiple currency.
I am working in a retail company and they dont have product costing. they are using material ledger only for multiple currency.
but they never run ckmlcp. $ is company code currency and EUR is group.
here is the problem, we bought something for 15 $ (10 EUR) and after sometime the currency rate changes and when we tried to sell or transfer the material for 15 $ this time system calculates the euro side as 11 EUR. we dont have a problem with $ but our COPA reports with EUR shows this 1 EUR as loss or revenue ?
to make it short
buy for    15 $ (=10 EUR)
sell for   15 $ (= 11 EUR) ---> 1 EUR stays and shown as loss or revenue in COPA reports with EUR ???
i believe if we run ckmlcp system revaluates the euro side with the new currency rate but i am not sure.
One more question can we run ckmlcp if we dont have product costing ???
thank you..

Hi,
I was confused at first. The multi-currency capabilities are suited to keep the historic curency information and make material valuation in parallel currencies independent from the current exchange rate
So in your example:
buy for 15 $ (=10 EUR)          --> 10 EUR wil become the material valuation
sell for 15 $ (= 11 EUR)       --> stock value will be reduced by 10 EUR (not 11 as would the current exchange rate suggest)
But you are right for the sales price ori the CO-PA revenue in EUR. This will still use the current exchange rate and would lead to the 1 EUR profit because you have the material on stock valuated with 10 EUR but sell it with 11 EUR price.
Material ledger would not prevent the profit/loss and also not counter-post it, even if you used CKMLCP. The actual price would even after ML closing be 10 EUR and no revaluation of consumption would be necessary. The sales prices is an 'external' decision and normally not determined by material valuation, therfore the sales price will not be adapted by material ledger calculations.
Sorry, I have no proposal how to get rid of that. Search ratther in CO-PA currency conversion than in ML.
best regards,
                    Udo

IF i want multiple currency conversion inthe report how to do

IF i want multiple currency conversion in the report how to do

HI
Basically currency translation is going to be happen based on OB08 Table. this table is exists in ERP and BI as well through some internal program the BI OB08 table will be updated based on ERP.
if you want to maintain the currency translation if it is 3.X Tcode os RRC1 is it is BI7 RCUR.
there you can maintain how many conversions you want according to your requirement

Can you expand on your question a bit?

Multiple currencies per entity in data form

Is it possible to disable users changing currency code in data forms with "Allow multiple currencies per entity" option?
I want users can see currency code for cell in data form, but can't change it.

Hi,
A really simple script would be
function customCellValidatePre(row, col, cell) {
//check app
if (equalsIgnoreCase(applicationName,"Enter App Name")){
// check form
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"Enter Form Name"))
// enter 3 digit valid currencies for application
var validCurrs = new Array("USD", "ZAR", "AUD", "CLP", "BRL", "CAD", "GBP", "EUR");
if(listContainsName(validCurrs,cell.value)){
// looks like user has tried to update a currency code
cancelDrag();
EnterCellx(row, col, true);
return false;
Just enter a set of valid currencies for your planning application.
The script just basically checks if any of your currency codes have been entered, if they have it will just return back to the cell without updating the currency code.
Cheers
John
