Problem with depreciation area (Incorrect currency exchange rate is used)

Good day to all SDN forumers!
I'm having a problem with one depreciation area that we set up. The reason why we configured this depreciation area is for us to enable to monitor all asset postings in another (group) currency aside from the local currency. We set it up in such a way that the depreciation would not post and would thus only "convert" the asset postings to group currency using the table rates in table TCURR (via OB08).
The problem is despite having defined an exchange rate for the current period, the system still picks up the exchange rate for 01/01/2001 which is incorrect. This affected all reports which displays incorrect values whenever I view the postings using the 2nd depreciation area we set up. Is there a way we can correct this?
I'd really appreciate your comments and suggestions guys. Thanks a lot and more power!

Update:
I created a new depreciation area by copying an existing area and updated some of the configuration. The problem is still there though, since the depreciation area still reflects the <b>incorrect</b> rate (similar to that of the previous depreciation area) whenever I access it using Asset Explorer. What's surprising is that even though I've already set the exchange rate (e.g. USD to EUR)  to match that of the asset's capitalization / acquisition date, the posted values still do not reflect what I defined in table TCURR. Instead, it reflects the exchange rate used by the old depreciation area. Help anyone? We are already in a production client and transfer/retirement of all the assets is not an option the client would like to undertake.

  • OB08 currency exchange rates actually used in system

    Hello All,
    We are currently in the process of evaluating vendors for a daily FX rate upload.  During the vendor evaluation process, we realized that upwards of 650 cross rates are entered into the system on a monthly basis and the team uploading the rates are not sure all are being used.  Since the daily FX upload is priced per exchange rate that is passed we'd like to make sure all of the current exchange rates maintained in OB08 are actually being used in the system.  Does anyone have ideas on how to obtain what currency exchange rates are actually used.  We're hoping to reduce our number of cross rates passed in the daily feed by elimating the exchange rates that are not used but I'm not sure how to find that out.  Thanks in advance for the help.
    Cheers,
    Jordan

    You could download all entries in table BKPF and derive unique values in currency key (WAERS).  Those are the foreign currencies that you are using in your system.  You need exchange rates between those currencies and your local currency/group currency and also between your local currency and group currency.

  • KEFC currency exchange rate issue - using end of period exchange rate

    Hello,
    We are experiencing currency deviations for manual upload file because  exchange rate type M is using exchange rate at the beginning of the period.
    We would like to use the exchange rates at the end of the period instead beginning of the period.
    Does anyone know where I can find the program that KEFC uses for exchange rates during upload and how I can modify it so that it uses end of the period exchange rates.
    Thanks,
    Bhat

    Hello Bhat,
    In case actual data (plikz = 0) is updated in COPA line items. these
    data will be updated in all currencies which are set in Customizing for
    operating concern (tcode KEA0).
    for example:  operating concern ccy = USD and company code ccy = NZD
    Now foreign ccy can be any ccy other than Operating concern currency
    and company code currency.
    Suppose you choose foreign currency = EUR and give your own KURSF
    System has to convert EUR into USD as well as into NZD.
    So it cannot use the same exchange rate (KURSF) for both conversions
    Hence for actual data upload the system always takes the 'M' rate for
    conversion.
    please also  refer to note 618114 for the issue.

  • Different currency exchange rate at time of sales order and invoicing

    Hi Friends,
    Actually,we are facing a crucial problem in Export where we would like to have the current currency exchange rate to be applicable both at excise and commercial invoice.
    Regards,

    Hi Ankur,
    Thanks for your reply.But our problem is sales order,exchange rates are defined with M type in OB08 as u have said.However when the periods are different for order entry and invoice generation we are facing the following problem.Orders are at old exchange rates and excise invoice is getting generated at current exchange rate.This is resulting in value difference between commercial invoice and excise invoice.
    Please help.

    HiI
    f you set this selection field then the settings in the ERD Setting column for this currency type are no longer relevant. The system calculates and posts exchange rate differences between order-related goods receipts and invoices not just for materials with standard price, but also for:
    Materials with moving average price
    Account-assigned transactions
    Planned delivery costs
    The valuation of the inventories or consumption is effectively done at the exchange rate for the goods receipt, and not at the exchange rate of the invoice. When you post the good receipts, the fixed exchange rate from the purchase order is not used, but the translation of the purchase order values to local currency is always done at the posting date of the goods receipt.
    If you are using the material ledger with actual costing, the system does not include the posted exchange rate differences at period-end closing in the actual prices of the materials.

  • Display currency exchange rates

    OC41 seems to always default to a "change" mode.
    Auditors are unhappy.
    I need to see the data, but I do not want to change the data
    Is there a separate transaction for display only?
    If not -  suggestions??
    Thanks
    Althea

    There are three T Codes for currency exchange rates - OC41, OB08 and S_BCE_68000174.  Give your users authorization (display only - your Basis/Security team should help you with this) to any of these T Codes.
    Some more T Codes for the same transaction - OKUS, F-62

  • Replicating currency exchange rates

    In SRM, table TCURR lists the currency exchange rates. When replicating the exchange rates from R/3 to SRM using program BBP_GET_EXRATE, it'll ask me for a logical system. However, when viewing TCURR, logical system information is not displayed.
    Since my SRM system is connected to two R/3 systems, it seems that after replicating exchange rates from the second R/3 system, TCURR is replaced with rates from the second R/3 and rates from the first system have been overwritten. TCURR in SRM looks identical to TCURR in the second R/3 system and not the first R/3 system.
    Is it so because it's assumed that exchange rates are universal and they should be the same regardless of which R/3 system they come from? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    SN

    The program BBP_GET_EXRATE is used to replicate the currency rates from the backend system to the SRM system. The currency table is TCURR, as you explained.
    The reason why this program BBP_GET_EXRATE asks for the logical system is that, there could be more than backend system connected the SRM for business reasons. When you choose a logical system, the RFC destination of the logical system is found by the program and this RFC destination is used to call the function module 'SBIC_EXRATE_TRANSFER' in the respective R3 system.  This function module will be in the respective backend system and gives the data of the TCURR table with it.
    There will be a call to 'SBIC_CURRENCIES_TRANSFER' in the backend system based on the RFC destination determined.
    The currency rates independent of the backend system should be the same as it is universal, so you can maintain only one currency conversion for a pair of currencies.
    Please reward points if you find it useful. 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.

  • To maintain foreign currency exchange rates

    Hi,
    Please help me with this scenario.
    I want to maintain  foreign currency exchange rates.Kindly tell me the process to maintain these rates. and also please tell me that is their any feasibility to maintain exchange rates on daily basis.
    Regards,
    Pavani reddy

    Hello,
    you can also use currency worklists in order to maintain exchange rates on daily basis. In order to enable this functionality you have to maintain the following configuration:
    1) Define Currency Worklist using the following path: SAP Netweaver - General Setting - Currencies - Define Worklist for Exchange Rate Entry (specify the name of the worklist, short description and maintenance interval);
    - assign exchange rate to the worklist using the following path: SAP Netweaver - General Setting - Currencies
    2) Assign Exchange Rate to the Worklist (please specify your exchange rate type, from and to currencies, the name of the worklist previously created as well as quotation type).
    3) In order to maintain exchange rates you will have to use t-code TCURMNT (you can also find this transaction under standard SAP Menu (Fin. Accounting - GL - Environment - Current Settings - Enter Exchange Rates using a Worklist).
    In my opinion, this t-code is more user-friendly than the standard OB08. But it's now up to you to decide whichever to use.

  • Maintain foreign currency Exchange rates

    HI Sap Experts,
    Maintain foreign currency Exchange rates , whether it is month end activity or year end activity.
    for this what is the t/code what are the parameters are need to be given.
    Regards,
    Prabhakar

    Prabhu,
    At the very minimum, this is monthly activity ... however, if the company has large volume of transactions in foreign currency, then these rates are typically maintained on daily basis.
    You can maintain exchange rates for relevant currency pairs using T. Code S_BCE_68000174. Corresponding configuration tasks are in IMG under NetWeaver General Settings.

  • Currency exchange rate

    I, have a question regarding the Currency exchange rate.
    We have a total of 20 -25 different local currency data records in R/3.
    In BW reprot we need to convert all these local currency to CDN.
    Can anyone suggest me how to do it and anylinks that would help me, please help me as i am new to BW.
    thanks
    SAM

    You can set the translation directly in the query and BW calulates the conversion at runtime. Obvious you must specify the type of exchange rate, the date of reference, and so on...
    In the BEx Analyzer, there are two possibilities for handling different currencies :
    1 Definition of a currency translation per key figure in the query definition
    2 Ad hoc currency translation in the Workbook (after having executed the query)
    You can find here some info:

  • Unknown currency exchange rate ???

    In invoice i have 2 items.
    the price (PR00) of one of them is OK.
    the other has a mistake in its price (PR00).
    all the details (dates...) are the same in the 2 items.
    the problematic item:
    price of 1.98 ILS, OTY=9000, currency exchange rate is 4.20400.
    the result is 74,880. it should be 74,915.28... (1.9890004.20400).
    why the result is wrong?
    [the currency exchange rate at the pricing date of the invoice is 4.20400.
    the culculation of the 74,880 used the currency exchange rate 4.20202 - which does not exist in the currency exchange rate table.]
    thanks

    Hi:
    I hope that you can see it from table TCURR. In this table you can select the FCURR (begin curr), TCURR(translated curr) GDATU (inverted date. 99999999 - youdate). The exchange rate is reflected in the field UKURS.
