Please help. I am having lsot of issues using 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'

Question

I have the folling code and my local-amount returned is always incorrect if my exchange rate is this way 1.96-.  It keeps multiplying by 1.96 when it needs to divide.  what am I doing wrong??
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
      EXPORTING
        DATE               = COMM_STRUCTURE-CALDAY
        FOREIGN_AMOUNT     = COMM_STRUCTURE-NET_VALUE
        FOREIGN_CURRENCY   = COMM_STRUCTURE-DOC_CURRCY
        LOCAL_CURRENCY     = COMM_STRUCTURE-loc_currcy
     LOCAL_RATE         = COMM_STRUCTURE-EXCHG_RATE
       RATE               = COMM_STRUCTURE-EXCHG_RATE
       LOCAL_TYPE_OF_RATE = US_RATE_TYPE
       TYPE_OF_RATE         = US_RATE_TYPE
      IMPORTING
     exchange_rate           = t_er
     foreign_factor          = t_ff
     local_factor            = t_lf
      LOCAL_AMOUNT       = p_VALUE
EXCEPTIONS
     no_rate_found           = 1
     no_factors_found        = 2
     no_spread_found         = 3
     derived_2_times         = 4
     overflow                = 5
     zero_rate               = 6
     OTHERS                  = 7.
    RESULT = p_value.
  else.
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-NET_VALUE.
  ENDIF.

Hi
Just as I said in your previous post u should check how u transfer the value of the rate.
See this examples:
a):
PARAMETERS: P_AMOUNT LIKE BSEG-WRBTR,
            P_KURSF    LIKE BKPF-KURSF.
DATA: LOCAL_AMOUNT TYPE WRBTR.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
  EXPORTING
*   CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
    DATE                    = SY-DATUM
    FOREIGN_AMOUNT          = P_AMOUNT
    FOREIGN_CURRENCY        = 'USD'
    LOCAL_CURRENCY          = 'EUR'
    RATE                    = P_KURSF
IMPORTING
   LOCAL_AMOUNT            = LOCAL_AMOUNT
EXCEPTIONS
   NO_RATE_FOUND           = 1
   OVERFLOW                = 2
   NO_FACTORS_FOUND        = 3
   NO_SPREAD_FOUND         = 4
   DERIVED_2_TIMES         = 5
   OTHERS                  = 6
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
WRITE: P_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'USD', LOCAL_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'EUR'.
Here if you insert 1,96 in the selection-screen the value of the rate will be 1.96 - and the local value will be obteined by dividing the foreingn one.
PARAMETERS: P_AMOUNT LIKE BSEG-WRBTR,
                                 P_RATE       LIKE VBAP-NETWR.
DATA: LOCAL_AMOUNT TYPE WRBTR,
           P_KURSF      LIKE BKPF-KURSF.
MOVE P_RATE TO P_KURSF.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
  EXPORTING
*   CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
    DATE                    = SY-DATUM
    FOREIGN_AMOUNT          = P_AMOUNT
    FOREIGN_CURRENCY        = 'USD'
    LOCAL_CURRENCY          = 'EUR'
    RATE                    = P_KURSF
IMPORTING
   LOCAL_AMOUNT            = LOCAL_AMOUNT
EXCEPTIONS
   NO_RATE_FOUND           = 1
   OVERFLOW                = 2
   NO_FACTORS_FOUND        = 3
   NO_SPREAD_FOUND         = 4
   DERIVED_2_TIMES         = 5
   OTHERS                  = 6
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
WRITE: P_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'USD', LOCAL_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'EUR'.
Here if it inserts 1,96-, when the value is transfered to the variable for the rate becomes 0.00196- so the local value is obteined by multiplying the foreingn one.
So in this last case:
PARAMETERS: P_AMOUNT  LIKE BSEG-WRBTR,
                               P_KF_1    LIKE VBAP-NETWR.
DATA: LOCAL_AMOUNT TYPE WRBTR.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
  EXPORTING
*   CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
    DATE                    = SY-DATUM
    FOREIGN_AMOUNT          = P_AMOUNT
    FOREIGN_CURRENCY        = 'USD'
    LOCAL_CURRENCY          = 'EUR'
    RATE                    = P_KF_1
IMPORTING
   LOCAL_AMOUNT            = LOCAL_AMOUNT
EXCEPTIONS
   NO_RATE_FOUND           = 1
   OVERFLOW                = 2
   NO_FACTORS_FOUND        = 3
   NO_SPREAD_FOUND         = 4
   DERIVED_2_TIMES         = 5
   OTHERS                  = 6
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
WRITE: P_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'USD', LOCAL_AMOUNT CURRENCY 'EUR'.
It has the same result of the previous case because if it insert 1,96- it'll become 0,00196-.
It's very important the type of the rate is like BKPF-KURSF.
