Hi,
Where ever an accounting document is created there a document type will be used for the postings and in that document type we will be assigniong like which exchange rate has to be used for which document type.
Hence the system will identify from the document type where the accounting documents are generated.
But in case of PO & SO it will be determined from the material master as per the exchange rate assifnment.

Hi,
The default for all of these is Rate M.
Via Customising it is possible in most cases to use a different rate.

Use an alternative Exchange Rate Type for activity actual price

Dear All,
I try to use an alternative Exchange Rate (not M) in controlling area version "0", I need to use a custom currency exchange rate like in planned price (here I create a new planned version with exchange rate "N").
I find same notes and it seems that standard Sap use only Exchange Rate "M" for actual price but I notice that for example in transaction KB21N (activity allocation) system shows in additional info exchange rate "N" (input in version "0").
Is not possibile to use other Exchange Rate for actual price, activity allocation, for confirmed activity in production order?
Controlling area has currency type 30 (group currency EUR), this company has MXN.
Thanks in advance for your support
Daria

In KB21N (activity allocation), system uses the exchange rate type you have maintained in controlling area version plan settings (transaction OKEQN). Activity allocation during the month always happen at the planned price maintained in KP26 at the exchange rate specified in plan version. During actual price calculation and revaluation during month end, it calculates actual activity price at (uses M rate to convert to controlling area currency) and revaluates consumption.
I think you cannot use other exchange rate, see the coding in include LKSPIF00 that is used in KSII where currency type is hard coded to M, if this is plan price calculation it's picking tka07-kurst.

All SAP Gurus,
While doing Goods Receipt against a PO (for imports), which exchange rate is picked up by the system?
From where system picks up which exchange rate to be used?

Hi Rajan
Exchange rate is picked form the Exchange table maintained by FI. Use Txn code OB08 and find out the exchange rate for the date or week or month you wish to know the details. This tabkle is common and used for all the transactional activities.

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.

Using Diffrent Exchange rate Type for Payroll

Hi All experts,
We wish to use a different exchange rate type for Payroll currency conversion. As we all know that the Payroll driver uses the currency coversion rate M and is hardcoded in the standard Programmes.
Now please suggest me whether it is possible in any means to use different currency conversion rate for Payroll?
Also we have explored the Global payroll, but the same has been not yet released for all customers, can I use it as it provides with the option of choosing exchange rate type on a particular date and have standard excahnge protection IT.
Awaiting guidance from u all....
Thanks in advance

Hi,
No i want system to pick diffrent exchange rate so i want to change exchange rate type for 1st Local Currency.
But that area is greyed out. Is there any system setting where i can maintain diffrent Exchange rate type for 1st Local Currency instead of "M". or is there any other way out that system will pick up diffrent exchange rate.
Problem is that two entities are operating in different market having same local currency but conversion rate for Foreign currency will be diffrent e.g. Local Currency EUR Exchange rate between EUR -USD in France 1.20 and Exchange rate between EUR-USD in Germany 1.25.
Is there any wayout to deal with such situation.
Please suggest.

Foreign Exchange Rate Type - M and EURO

Hi All,
My customer is maintainng the M exchange rate type as
1 USD = 106 JPY
along with this they are maintiaing a extra Exchange rate Type EURO as
106 JPY = 1 USD
Comany Code Currency is JPY.
In the document Type level they are not maintaing any of the exchage rate type. Means system is picking default exchnage rate type. As we know M is the default exchange rate type.
So, now customer doesnt want to maintain the EURO exchange rate type.
So, i want to know
1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
Looking for early response.
Sachin

1. if customer not want to maintain the EURO exchange rate then it would give any impact on the working.
<There is no impact as long as this is not used by any other applications. For eg, In controlling, project system, budget, at FI document type level etc, we have option of choosing different exchange rate.
2.Is any realtion between to maintain the two exchnange rate type.
No relation
3. On a document level, can we know that by using which exchnage rate it was processed. whether its was processed from M or EURO. We want to know the Exchange rate type of each document.
< You can see this at Table level eg - BKPF. But at front end I dont think it is possible atleast upto 4.6C4. In M Exchane rate type we have both Direct and Indirect Quotation for same currency pair. So in this case which qutation system would take for the document processing as default quotation for a exchange rate type M.
<To my knowledge, System will not allow to maintain rates in both types. so question of option doesnt come>

Exchange rate type company code dependent

Hi Experts,
as I know in SAP it's not possible to maintain exchange rate types per company code. In function module FI_CURRENCY_CHECK the exchange rate type "M" will be always set for all postings.
Now I need a possibility to maintain exchange rates company code dependent. Do you think it's a good idea to change the above mentioned function module so it's possible to set an own exchange rate per company code? Do anyone have experiences or other solutions?
I also know that it's possible to set per document type an own exchange rate type and also it's possible to set in V_TCURF an alternative exchange rate type for "M". But both are not an option for me.
Best regards
Christian

Hi,
You cannot have diff exch rate types for different company codes, since exch rate maintainance will be at client level only.
Practically yours is a peccular requirement.
We can't figure out how system will behave in case if you modify th eFM as you said.

Customized Exchange rate type in FICO

Hello Experts,
We have been using Standard exchange rate type M and MS in our SD and FICO Configuration.
Is it possible to use customised exchange rate type say Z in FICO configuration?
Please advise.
Regards,
UR

hi
the standard exchange rate in fi are
g..bank buying(bank is buying....exports)
b...bank selling (bank is selling ..imports)
m...average
1.for any foreign exchange traslation we first have to define the above exchage rate in ob07
2.we have to give the traslation ratios (obbs)
3.we have to give the exchage rates (ob08)
answer to u r question..
1st there should be a system defined exchage rates types for the currency u r conversion.
example
usd to inr ...for this coversion u should define for g..b..m.
then after that u can use u r own user defined variables...(only after the sytem defined is declared.
if why is u r anwer
system takes the standard rate m if there is no conversion type found in the document types.
thanks

Payment Program and Spot Exchange Rate Type

Hi Everyone,
When performing wire transfers in foreign currency, my company wants to be able to have the payment program, F110, be able to convert the payment to the vendor based on the bank's spot rate at that moment in time. I found that we can use exchange rate type "G", update the rate within OB08 prior to running F110, input the exchange rate type "G" within the Parameter section within "Exchange rate type" and process the payment program as normal.
My question is this: We have a few separate companies that would use this feature with the possibility of receiving different rates from their respective banks. How would this work if 2 companies had 2 separate exchange rates for the same conversion on the same day? I found that once you enter in an exchange rate for a conversion, you are stuck with that rate for that particular day, so the amount can not be over written with another rate to be used by the second company code. Is there a way around this or is there a different way to accomplish the converting of currencies at the payment program?
Thanks.
Pete
Edited by: Peter Zaborowski on Sep 26, 2008 2:35 PM

Hi Peter
Use two different exchange rate type for bank1 and bank1. Upload the exchange rate into the system. Select house bank and specified rate type during the payment run.

Exchange rate type P is picking in contract master while ist should take M

exchange rate is maintained for M and P in OB08, we want to get the exchange rate from exchange rate type M to contract master. but it is picking from Exchange rate type P. where as echange rate 'M' maintained as a current yaer( 2011) . but exchange rate P maintained of 2010 ( previous yer). but still its a taking exchange rate type P. we want to take it From M.
Please guide us........facing this issue for so many days....
Thanks in advance....

Hello,
By default exchange rate type M will be used unless another exchange rate type for e.g. P is specified as Alternate exchange rate type. Then translation rate taged to exchange rate type P will be used.
Check "Alt. ERT" (Alternate exchange rate type) in OBBS, the suggestion is if exchange rate type M is desired then the "Alt. ERT" input should be empty on the row where exchange rate type 'M' and the corresponding currency pair for e.g. USD:GBP (assuming USD is local currency and GBP is foreign currency) is maintained.
Kind regards,

Exchange Rate Type per Company Code

HI Experts,
In our system the conversion rates for EURX are maintained since there are several European companies working with the system.
Now we would like to use the same SAP-system for companies in China & Taiwan. In both countries there is an individual "official" exchange rate which does not equal the exchange rates stated from the German banks and thus fed into the system.
Is there any possibility to connect a company (code) with one particular exchange rate type? Since we are dealing with countries outside of the EU.
Thanks in Advance
Siva

Hi,
as you may have recognized, the assignment cannot be made on company code (or country) level, but only on currency level. In particular, this is table TCURF.
When (almost) all possible currency combinations (from-to) are redirected to rate type EURX, then this looks like standard SAP delivery settings that you can freely change according to your needs.
If you are not familiar with TCURF maintenance, however, you should be very careful here and test every change before importing it to the productive environment.
The basic idea that I have always followed for the same or similar requirements is that local rules for a particular rate type are always control the rates to be applied when converting from any foreign currency to the currency of the particular country.
If you are a China company and your local company code currency (curr.type 10) is CNY, then you have to make the following changes to table TCURF:
First, find out all the foreign (non-CNY) currencies that you are dealing with. This may include EUR, USD, and any other currency of the world.
Then, determine (or create) a new exchange rate type in table TCURV. This should be the rate type for your "own" rates. Let's name it rate type "L" (for Local rates). Note: you can use the standard M rate type as well, but it is more transparent if you define a separate one.
Then have a look into table TCURF and find the entries as follows:
Rate type: M
From-currency: all that you are using in your business (all non-CNY that you use)
To-Currency: CNY
Valid-from: find the recent entry for each combination
With all of these entries displayed, you will find that the alternate exchange rate type field (ABWCT) in these entries is set to EURX.
Now you want to create a new TCURF entry as follows:
Rate type: M
From: the same foreign currencies as above
To: CNY
Valid-from: a newer date than the last current entry
Alternate exchange rate type: L (your new rate type) - in case you want to use just M, then leave ABWCT empty.
If you are using the L type (which I recommend), then you have to add 2 new entries to TCURF for each foreign currency:
1.
Rate type: L
From: foreign curr
To: CNY
Valid-from: 1.1.1800 (yes!)
Ratio from and to: as you want, it should be the same as in the corresponding M entry, usually 1:1, but it depends
Alternate exchange rate type: leave it blank.
2.
Rate type: L
From: CNY
To: foreign curr.
Valid-from: 1.1.1800 (yes!)
Ratio from and to: as you want, it should be the same as in the corresponding M entry, usually 1:1, but it depends
Alternate exchange rate type: leave it blank.
Finally, in OB08, you have to maintain rates like
type L, foreign curr to CNY
You are done
What is happening is the following (example you post a document in USD in your China company code)
Doc.currency USD --> must be converted to your local currency CNY
First, the system looks the current ratios for the M entry:
M, USD to CNY, valid from: recent, 1:1 and ABWCT = L !!!! (the entry you have added before)
Then it checks the ratios for L:
L, USD to CNY, valid from 1.1.1800, 1:1, ABWCT = blank
Based on TCURF, the system will look for the current rate entered under rate type L, your local rate )
Now what if a USD-based company has to post something in CNY? No changes there as the TCURF settings were not touched. They should look like this:
M CNY to USD, alt.exch.rate type EURX (or blank)
If it is EURX, then the rates enterd under EURX rate type (once USd to EUR and then CNY toi EUR) are read and the cross-rate CNY to USD is calculated.
If it is blank, then the rate entered under rate type M is used.
In both cases, no change to your current process.
It works similar if the company code is EUR based.
The main idea is: redirect all M entries in TCURF where <anycurr> to CNY to the new rate type L, but leave all other TCURF entries untouched. Direction <any> to CNY are only relevant for the China company code, the rest of the world does not care about that conversion. They might be interested in conversions like CNY to <any>, like in the above example, CNY to USD, or CNY to EUR, but that could be their German or ECB rate, you do not have to care about.
