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

Dear Gino Ruggiero,
The MM functionality always uses the "M" rate.

  • 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....

    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.

  • Default Exchange Rate Type

    Dear All,
    If we do not assign any exchange rate type to any document type or customer / vendor master data, the system picks the default 'M' exchange rate type. Can anyone let me know where this default setting has been made and whether this setting can be changed? What if I do not maintain exchange rates for 'M' instead I do it for 'M1'
    I have a scenario, wherein I want to make exchange rate type other than 'M' as default and we do not want to make it at the document type level or customer / vendor master data level.
    To make things more clear, this is not related to the realignment / foreign currency valuation. This is related to recording of invoice export / import or credit / debit notes..
    Can anyone let me know how would this be possible?

    Hi Swapvik,
    The exchange rate type always is set "M" as default. The only way to
    change the exchange rate type is with the customizing in the document type. If you are running the automatic payment program, you can also select a different exchange rate type. However, for normal document postings (trans. FB01), there is no other solution but to choose a different document type.
    For example:
    If you want to use exchange rate type B 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 exch.type comes into picture.
    Please be advised that you can not change the default exchange rate type
    for the 1st local currency. The default type for 1st local currency KURST of M cannot be changed. SAP does not allow for customers to setup a company code with an exchenage rate type other than M for the 1st local currency (because this could lead to exchange rate differences in the system which are not allowed).
    Exchange rates are defined in SAP at a Global level via transaction OB08. In the IMG documentation for transaction OB08 (path General Settings > Currencies > Enter exchange rates) it explains that:
    'The exchange rates apply to all company codes'
    'The system uses the type M exchange rates for foreign currency
    translation when posting and clearing documents. An entry must exist in
    the system for this exchange rate type. The exchange rates apply to ALL
    Company Codes.'
    Hope this information helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Default customized exchange rate type

    Hi friends,
    I have an issue during an implementation.
    I want to use a customized exchange rate type for all forex transactions for only 1 company code in the system having several company codes. Please let me know how do i set the customized exchange rate type as default for a particular company code
    Regards
    Srinivasan

    Hi,
    SAP has defaulted exchange rate type M in the function module. So if exchange rate type is not assigned to a document type, default M is picked.
    In case you want to have a default ex rate type other than M, that too for a particular co.code within the client, you would have to use specific document type to which this new rate type is assigned.
    There is no other way out.
    Hope it resolves your issue.

  • Custom Exchange Rate Type for Purchase Order

    Hi
    Our Financial Team doesn't want to change the Exchange Rates on a daily basis, but for place purchase orders with our overseas vendors we need the daily spot rate loaded in the system. 
    Is there way to configure a different exchange Rate type ?  and use this Exchange Rate Type for Purchase Order to use instead of Default type "M"?
    Thanks...

    Found a soluntion ...
    I have coded userexit EXIT_SAPLMEKO_001 component LMEKO001, to fill in Exchange Rate type in the Communication Structure "e_komk-kurst".
    Update Exchange Rate Type "ZCUS" under SPRO and updated exchanges in TCURR table for this type.  Then, everything else works like a charm.

  • 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,

  • Exchange rate type settings

    Hello,
    In same client one company code use reference currency as local currency (XYZ) for exchange rate type u2018Mu2019. Exchange rates are maintained on daily base for the exchange rate type.
    New company code with different local currency would like to maintain exchange rate on monthly.
    Both company codes use same document types in FI and other modules.
    As per my understanding it is not possible to have to different exchange rate settings for same exchange rate type u2018Mu2019 in one client.
    In case if we have to use different exchange rate type for new company code what are the things to be considered or is there any alternate way please advise.
    Thanks!
    Raju

    Hi,
        You will have to create a new exchange rate type.
    Throughout SAP rate M will be used for actual postings unless a different rate type is specified.
    You can do this in:-
                      a) Document type
                      b) F110 - rate to be used can be specified
                      c) Customer Master Sales org data (for use in SD).
    Doing a complete duplicate set of document types is unrealistic.You need to identify where the FX transactions are and create Document types only where needed.You will also need a new FX valuation type that uses the new rate.
    When faced with this situation i only create 1 additional document type, to be used for Inbound invoices.This plus b) & c) for my companies covers 90+% of the FX postings.
    Kind regards

  • Exchange rate type determination

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know how a exchange rate TYPE is determined by SAP in sales order or any FI document?
    Currently for us, the exchange rate type used by SAP is EURX and I am wondering how this type is determined (not type M), if:
    1. Nothing is defined in customer master
    2. Nothing is defined in Additional Local currencies (OB22)
    The company is Poland and company code currency is EUR. Is it to do anything with Euro currency.
    Please help me?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    The system by default uses Exchange Rate Type M for any currency translation in the system.  You can use a different exchange rate type in your system, instead of Type M, by defining the alternative exchange rate type in transaction code OBBS.
    Please assign points.
    Thanks,

  • Exchange Rate Type Specific for ICB

    Hi fiends,
    In our company, we're currently using exchange rate type USDX (it was defined in OBBS, where the exchange rate type "M" is assigned to "USDX" (which we're updating on a daily basis).
    However, for the ICB (intercompany business process) I don't wanto to use the exchange rate type USDX, I want to use the exchange rate type ICB, which we will maintain on a periodic basis.
    What customzing should I activate to enable the system to distinguish when to use the the ICB exchange rate type (for ICB PO's)?
    I don't can't default the exchange rate type in the document type level (OBA7), because we use the same document type for ICB and non-ICB PO's.
    Thanks in advance.
    Alex.

    Hi Alex,
    You should update the OB22 and assigned the parallel currencies with the right Exchange rate. Instead of assign USDX or M, you might choose another ExRteType for this inrco comapany.

  • Exchange rate type from infoobject 0RTYPE

    In my query I need to do currency conversion using the exchange rate type value in the infoobject 0RTYPE of  my infocube.
    Query  only allows me to use the variable on 0RTYPE but not the value available in the infocube for 0RTYPE.
    If one of the record had 0RTYPE = 'M' then the amount of that record should be converted using 'M' if another record in the cube has 0RTYPE = 'EURX' then the amount of that record should be converted using 'EURX' as the exchange rate type.
    But if I use the variable on 0RTYPE at any time I'm able to convert using just one exchange rate type.Is it possible that I can convert based on the exchange rate type 0RTYPE value in the infocube of each data record.

  • Default Exchange rate type at document type level for parallel currencies

    Hi,
    I have a scenario wherein 2 parallel currencies have been maintained (Grp & index based) against a Co Code and have maintained a default exchange type (Z2) in the Document type settings (OBA7).
    But when I want to post a foreign currency document, system picks Z2 rates for Co Code currency conversion and not for Grp & index based. In fact it picks M rate for these addtional currencies.
    I know that for parallel currencies, the system will always use the exchange rate type defined in transaction OB22 ( "M" rate) which is at Co Code level but I want default exchange rate type Z2 to be picked at Document Type level for all the parallel currencies.
    Please suggest how to archive this.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Dear Sam,
    The exchange rate type defined in the FI document type (-> field
    exchange rate type in transaction OBA7) is only used for the currency
    translation from transaction/document currency into first local
    currency, not for the currency translation into second local (group)
    currency or for the currency translation into third local currency.
    The exchange rate types for the currency translation into second
    local (group) currency and third local currency are defined in
    transaction OB22.
    Unfortunately there is no option to change the exchange rate of 2nd or
    3rd local currency in our posting transactions. The design doesn't
    regard that requirement. But you have the chance to adjust the parallel
    currencies in OB22 or to change the amounts manually.
    I hope this helps.

  • Exchange Rate type Assignment to Company Code

    Hi,
    I'm working on the implementation of a new company code on a SAP R/3 4.6c release. I've created a new exchange rate type EURH (with transaction OC47) and I would like to know hot to assign it to my new Company Code.
    Is there a specifc standard transaction? Could you please suggest me a possible solution.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Exchange rate type you cannot assign to a company code. Where as you can specify explicitly while document entry.
    By default in SAP for a new company code system will use 'M' rate as standard. If you want to replce this exachange rate type with your new exchange rate type then goto SPRO --> General Settings --> Currencies --> Define transilation ratios for currency translation
    Maintain new exchange rate type as Alt.ERT against 'M' rate then system will take new exchange rate instead of 'M' rate. Otherwise as I said earlier, you can use created exchange rate type in any company code by specifying in document entry or payment program, or  you even can assign ex.rate type to a Document type, etc.,
    Hope above helps.
