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.

Utilizing different exchange rate type for same currency combination

Hello Gurus,
I wanted to get your opinion/experience in handling the following scenario.
We have company codes in different countries operating using different local currencies. There is alternate exchange rate type EURX defined for Exchange rate type M for many currency combinations due to business requirements. One country with local currency EUR is utilizing EURX SEK - EUR exchange rate combination.
Other country with local currency HUF is making use of exchange rate type MNB as an alternate exchange rate. In one of its transaction, where VAT is being calculated on its foreign transaction, HUF company is trying to seek rate of MNB SEK- EUR where country currency is SEK and document currency is EUR.
But since on the 'translation ratios for currency translation' table EURX being the alternate currency for that particular combination, even when we set MNB SEK EUR exchange rate, the system is obviously picks up EURX rate.
Has anyone come across similar scenario where different countries trying to get different exchange rate types for the same combination of currency? and If so, how would that be possibly handled through config or using something custom?
Thanks all for your replies in advance.
Regards,
Sagar K.

Hi Sagar,
In tcode OBBS, if Alt.exchange rate is used for any currency pair, then that rate is used ( EURX in this case).
All countries in EMU region uses EURX ( which is mostly fixed after introduction of EUR).
If the company is in different countries in Europe, then mostly EUR is used as Alt. exchange rate. which uses EUR as reference currency.
Ther is no country specific settings in std. sap for a currency pair.
Cheers,

Different exchange rate type for budgetting internal orders

Hi,
we would like to use a different exchange rate types when budgetting on internal orders depending on the order type.
In our current set-up the internal order types are linked to a budget profile, in this budget profile we have specified the exchange rate type to use.
Unfortunately this doesn't work (I guess this is only used to translate the total budget)
We do availability control in company code currency and on a yearly base, but each time we approve some budget we want to translate this at the most recent (monthly) exchange rate.
This works if we change the exchange rate type P each month so that it contains the most recent exchange rate on the first of januari.
Unfortunately this P-rate is also used for other things (other budget on other order types and cost center planning) here we want to be able to keep the same exchange rate throughout the whole year.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx in advance
Sven

Different exchange rate type for PO

Hi,
I have a requirement, where I need to take a different exchange rate type for one particular PO document type.
I have already maintained exchange rate type Z in Tcurr table.
I should enable system to pick this exchange rate for PO wich are created from a PO document type
Same exchange rate should be picked for GR and IR as well.
If I overwrite the PO exchange rate in PO header, GR and IR are picked default M exchange rate type.
If I maintain Z exchange rate for doc type WE and RE, the same would taken for all POs GR/IR.
I should make it available only for a PO document type and relevent GR/IRs.
Can you please advise how we can achieve this.
Your help in this regard is much appreciated.

Different Exchange Rate Type for Vendors and Customers Invoices

Dear Friends,
We have configured different exchange rate types for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable thru T Code OB07. What are the additional Config steps required to ensure that the respective buying and selling rates will apply to Accounts Payables and Receivables. We do not want to stipulate the exchange rate types in Document Types as this special exchange rates are applicable only for one of the Company Codes.
Would appreciate your help in this regard.
Regards,

Hi,
Then you can use a different document type for those company codes and can default the exchange rate type there.
OR,
The alternative wya is to use the substitution in OBBH/ GGB1 for those company codes with exit programming.

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.

Different exchange rate type M in different company codes

Dear all,
I am facing the following very inconvenience problem:
I am an SAP consultant and has ALWAYS set up exchangre rate type M, the same rate used for all company codes in the Group.
My new customer wants to have different exhange rates for ALL company codes, that means we cannot use exchange rate type M for all company codes. All company codes in Sweden could have the same exchange rate type and so on, since all the rates within a country is updated with the rate from banks in the particular countries.
I think a solution could be to create worklists for every country and to always maintain all the rates against the local currencies within the country. This means in Sweden all the rates will be maintained against SEK, but never in any other way. That menas we can never maintain the rates from SEK to EUR in Sweden, we only maintain the rates against Sweden. I Finland however, all rates will be maintained against EUR (the local currency för all company codes in Finalnd).
Could this cause problems (or inconsistency) that incorrect rates will be used?
I am very very thankful for all help I can get in this question!
Best Regards, Åsa

Hi
Here you need to concentrate on Direct or indirect quotation
If you are using EUR to SEK (LC) - use direct quotation as 8.8307 1:1 relation
If you are using SEK to EUR - use indirect quotaion as 0.1132 1:1 relation
Pls let me know if you required further help

Apply different exchange rate types in sales order and invoice

Dear Experts,
How to configure different exchagnes in sales order and invoice?
For example, use average exchange rate in sales order but current exchange rate in invoice.
Thanks!
Regards,
Wang Hui

Hi all,
I also need to apply different exchange rate between sales order and Invoice.
E.g:
condition type currency (komv-waers) sales document currency (komk-waerk) company currency (t001-waers)
In my example, each of above currencies can be different:
komv-waers = EUR
komk-waerk = USD
t001-waers = GBP
I tried through VTFL transaction but it is not working in all situations cause VTFL allows me to manage situations where
komk-waerk NE T001-waers
But I need to convert condition types where
komk-waerk EQ T001-waers but
komv-waers NE komk-waerk
Can I manage this situation through SAP standard and/or VTFL transaction?
Is there any other solution?
I really hope you can help me

POSTING WITH A DOCUMENT TYPE WITH DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RATE TYPES

Hi there,
We have different company codes in the same client. These companies are situated in various countries.
I like to use the same document type with several exchange types M and X(specific for countries). Posting in MM and SD are ok by defining a exchange rate to master records of customers and vendors. Unfortunately I could not find a way to post documents from FI using the same document type.
Is it possible and how?
Thank you,
melike

Hi,
In accounting editing options (Transaction code FB00) - in the tab Document entry - there is an option to select the check box Exchange Rate from first line item. If this is selected, the exchange rate entered manually in the first line item will be copied in the header automatically. This could be one of the options you can consider.
However, the hitch is it involves manual entry which could result in human errors.
Thanks

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.

Currency Conversion for Exchange rate type "AS02"

Hi Experts,
I am gonna post the most challenging problem (regarding currency conversion) I ever faced in my 1 year of BW Carrier.Kindly provide a solution.
There are three types of currency to be used in the query for Key Figure 0NET_VALUE (so total 3 Key Figures to be created)
   1.Document currency (may be any currency)
   2.Local Currency (must be EURO)
   3.Global Currency (must be USD)
From Document currency to Local Currency(EURO) we are using Exchange rate Type "M" (in Conversion Type created in Trans RRC1) [There is no problem in this conversion]
Problem starts now--->
From Local Currency(EURO) to Global Currency(USD) we have to use Exchange rate type "AS02" (in conversion type to be created in RRC1)
but there is a Business requirement that currency rate should be as per the last day of the entered period;and this logic should work for the range of periods also.
Example :
we are executing query for the period 006/2006 (posting Period)
Last day of this period is 06/30/2006,
Currency rate would be as per 06/30/2006
And this currency rate should be same throughout the period 006/2006 in query
The example was for single period,but logic must be incorporated for the range of the periods.

Hi..
There is no corresponding source key figure in the InfoSource for the target key figureof the InfoCube.
a. A source key figure of the same type can be assigned to the target key figure
(for example, sales revenue instead of sales quantity revenue).
If the currencies of both of the key figures are the same, no currency
translation can take place.
If the currencies are different, a translation can take place either using a
currency translation type or by simply assigning a currency.
The following table provides an overview of possible combinations with different
currencies in the source and target key figures:
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) No CT
if Source key figure currency is fixed , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is fixed then Currency translation (CT)   CT
if Source key figure currency is variable , Target key figure currency is variable then Currency translation (CT) CT or assignment
b. If there is no corresponding source key figure of the same type, then you have
to fill the key figure for the data target from a routine.
If the target key figure has a fixed currency, no currency translation is
carried out. This means that if translation is required, you have to execute
it in the routine.
If the target key figure has a variable currency, you also have to assign
a variable source currency to the routine. Using the F4 help you can
select a currency from the variable currencies in the communication
structure. You have two options:
You can select a variable currency and assign it.
You select a currency translation type and a currency into which you
wish to translate (To currency).
The To currency is, by default, the target currency if it is included in the
communication structure.
Creating a Routine for Currency Translation:
If you want to translate currencies in the update even though the currency translation is not
available for one of the above reasons, you can create a routine. Choose Routine, set the
Unit Calculation in the Routine and choose Create Routine. In the routine editor you get
the additional return parameter UNIT, the value of which is used to determine the target
1. save the query and it under role
   see to it is in   : Restricted and calculated key figures --->   properties of k.f
2. exeute the query
3. the currency translation --> by target currency usd choose OK
conversion type : MEANTODAY Fixed target currency current date (MT)
4. Go back to the query definition by chossing chage query ( global definiton)
5. in the context menu for % share sales vouume of incoming orders, choose properties --> formula collision --> result form this formula choose OK
Note that -
your should alos set the currency translation in the properties for the two key figures sales voule EUR , choose properties ---> currency conversion key : fixed target currency , currrent date ( MT) --> target currency : American Dollar . choose   OK
<b>The translation key is a combination of different parameters that establish how the exchange rate for the translation is executed.
The parameters that determine the exchange rate are the source and the target currency, the exchange rate type and the time reference for the translation.</b>
The source currency is determined from the data record or dynamically from the master data of the specified InfoObject (currency attribute)
The target currency can either be fixed in the translation key or selected at the time of translation.
You can also use an InfoObject (currency attribute) to determine the target currency.
The exchange rate type distinguishes exchange rates that are valid in the same time frame next to each other, for example, the bid rate, ask rate or middle rate. The exchange rate types are stored and can be maintained in a central table (TCURV).
The time reference for the currency translation can be either fixed or variable
The fixed time reference can either be a fixed key date that is stored in the translation type, or be determined using the system date when executing the currency translation.
If the time reference is variable, then the point in time for the exchange rate determination comes from the value of a time characteristic (InfoObject). The reference can, for example, be the end or the start of a fiscal year or a calendar year, a period and a month or even to the exact day. It can also be determined using a customer-specific InfoObject (for example, trading day).
Currency translation in the BEx
When selecting a translation key with a fixed target currency     this currency will be added automatically to the query definition
Also, you can use translation keys selecting their target currency at the time of translation. These can be applied in two different ways:
Selection of a specific target currency in the query definition (1)
Entry by variable (2)
Dynamic translation keys require input from the InfoCube !
InfoObject value will be read during query execution
Examples:
dynamic time reference (p.eg. 0CALDAY)
      time characteristic
target currency determined by InfoObject (currency attribute)
     characteristic which contains currency in its attribute table
the corresponding InfoObject has to be part of the InfoCube
1.Define the currency attribute in the InfoObject maintenance
The currency attribute has to be a unit InfoObject of type currency
The unit InfoObject must be an attribute of the characteristic
The currency attribute should be filled in the master data table of the corresponding InfoObject (manual maintenance or upload via InfoSource)
2.Enter the InfoObject in the translation key maintenance
Only InfoObjects with a currency attribute can be used in translation keys (p.eg. 0COMP_CODE)
At the time of currency translation the value for the source currency / target currency is then derived for every record from the master data table of the specified InfoObject
All values for a query are translated ad hoc (after having executed the query) using a translation key
Depending on the translation key a fixed target currency will be used for translation or you will be able to select the target currency
The ad hoc currency translation offers only restricted functionality (selection of translation key and target currency) compared to the currency translation in the query definition
Do not forget to create your translation keys before starting your work in the Business Explorer Analyzer
Example:
You load the following record to your InfoCube:
Company Code:                1000
Amount in Source Currency:      500,-
Source Currency:                FRF
Target Currency:               ?
In the Update rules, you are now using a translation key which derives the target currency from the InfoObject 0COMP_CODE. During the Update Process the target currency will then be read for Company Code 1000 from the master date table of 0COMP_CODE.
With the currency translation in the Business Explorer, the source currency can currently only be determined from the data record.
Only translation keys with a fixed exchange rate type can be used in the BEx
Translation keys with a dynamic time reference (from an InfoObject) can only be used in the query definition. It is not possible to fill the InfoObject by a variable !
Translation keys getting their target currency from a currency attribute can only be selected in the query definition
When getting the dynamic reference from an InfoObject (p.eg. 0CALDAY) the currency translation will apply to each record read from the database. That means it will use the date in this record for the currency translation.
When using a variable you will restrict the output of your query to a certain amount of data. For example, you would translate all invoices of March 11 with the translation date March 11
This means, the requirement show me all invoices in my cube in group currency, conversion date: 14.07.2001 could not be solved by a variable input for 0CALDAY
I hope this would help...
with regards,
hari

Exchange rate types with referency currencies in BW currency translations

Hello Guru's:
Will BW currency translation keys utilize 'reference currency' functionality on exchange rate types? I want to translate between two currencies (CNY to HKD) that don't have a direct rate, but both have rates for USD.
I have:
- exchange rate type BU10 defined with USD as reference currency
- exchange rates for BU10 with relevant validity dates entered from CNY to USD and from HKD to USD.
- exchange rate factors for BU10 relevant validity dates entered for CNY to USD, HKD to USD, USD to CNY, and USD to HKD.
- a currency translation key defined taking source currency from transactional data (0CURKEY_LC), exchange rate type from a variable, target currency from a variable, and time reference as end of 0FISCPER.
The translation from CNY and HKD to USD works, as does translation from USD to either HKD or CNY, but not CNY to HKD or vise versa. So I wonder whether BW currency translation keys can even use the reference currency concept. Or maybe there are constraints on translation key configuration that must be observed to make them work for this situation.
Kind regards,
Aron

I solve it after using RSRT to debug the currency translation. The must be an additional entry in TCURF for the source and target currencies, not just for the source currency to reference currency and reference currency to the target currency. In my example from the original post, an entry from CNY to HKD is required.

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

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.

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

Bruno
