Validity of exchange rates are not considered in APO DP planning books

Dear SAP Gurus
There are couple of posts on this topic without any conclusive reply and so I am posting this again.
We plan and manage data in multiple currencies and wish to maintain the same in APO DP. We have defined an exchange rate type in the planning area which is used for planning purposes. Please note that we have defined only one planning area for all global products hence data is stored in one currency only.Exchange rates between different currencies for this exchange rate type are maintained in ECC and then transferred to APO via RSA1 using standard functionality. While exchange rates are maintained with validity (valid from date) in this table, APO DP planning books only consider latest exchange rates. This behaviour changes the data in the planning book every time there is a change in the exchange rates and is a complete nonsense.
I believe there is a macro function CURR_CONV_FACTOR() which can be used to bring exchange rates as key figures in the planning book based on validity but given that this macro works only between 2 exchange rates and we use 10 different currencies, its not feasible to use this macro function for all combinations.
Is there any other way to have exchange rates based on validity ? Does SAP has any guidelines / best practice on how to handle multiple currency scenarios in DP.
We are on APO V5.1.
Thanks
Zorba

Dear Nitish
Thanks for the message.
Unfortunately your observation is not correct. If you change an exchange rate with future validity,
currency data in the entire horizon (past and future) adopts to that exchange rate.
It doesn't matter whether KF is ready for input or not as data is stored in any one currency only in PA and conversion happen only when you change the currency in the planning book (column 0)
Do some more testing and you will notice the above behaviour.
btw, which version of SCM are you on ?
Cheers
Zorba, the Budha

"An Exchange Rate Does not Exist" error while creating an item

Hi..
Pre-requisites: RMS is installed without base data
We are trying to create an item in RMS by filling the required information in "Item Maintenance window" and "Supplier details" screen. After this is done when we select the "Retail by Zone" link and the application prompts an error message : "An Exchange Rate Does not Exist", and all the values in "Retail by zone" screen are not populated. How do we ressolve this?
Thanks in Advance

Also, make sure that if a currency has a rate entry for example, 01-jul-2010, then make sure that ALL other currencies have a rate entry for 01-jul-2010, even if the rate has not changed for other currencies - a little trick I learned from an Oracle consultant.

Exchange rate differences not found in CKM3

Hi ML Experts,
PO has been raised with foreign currency. At the time of GR, the same price has been paid at the same exchange rate. Only the other charges like custom and CVD charges were paid in an increased exchange ratio. Hence, all these exchange rate differences got posted to the accounts assigned in KDM/KDR. But when I see in CKM3, exchange differences are not found. .Is there any setting imissing or should be done?.

Hi,
Thanks Shaubhikg. This OSS notes describes about how the closing entries takes care of the both price and exchange differences of the material procured and production variances. But still my answer is unanswered.
My worry ts that since the exchange differences were captured in accounts of KDM but not seen when I see the material in CKM3. Any more inputs from you or from other fellow brethern!

Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM?

Hi Gurus,
Yesterday I insert a new row at OB08 tx. at backend system (R/3) for exchange rate of May 17,2010, the value was 10.00. Then I run the BBP_GET_EXRATE program to replicate the info to SRM.
But when I created a purchase order (PO) the value was 12.24 for exchange rate (this value 12.24 is the value for the previous day May 16, 2010).
Today morning (May 18, 2010), I inserted another row at R/3 and replicated to SRM, the new value for May 18 was 11. I create another PO and the value was 10 for exchange rate (the value for yesterday).
But when the PO is transmitted to R/3, the exchange rate is the correct.
My question is: Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM? Exists an aspect of memory in SRM that it has to be refreshed? Why SRM is getting the exchange rate for yesterday? Is an issue for time zone?

Hi Muthu,
I'm in Extended classic.
I already discovered what is happening. At the time of being creating the purchase order (PO), it takes the exchange rate of the delivery date of the shopping cart (SC). But when the order is authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3, it takes the exchange rate of the date of creation of the PO.
Two checks of budget exist:
1.- When creating PO (exchange rate date of delivery date of the SC's item)
2.- When authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3 (exchange rate date of creation date of the PO)
If exchange rate of delivery date of the SC is lower than exchange rate date of creation of the PO, there are cases in which it is marking budget error.
Now my question is: It is a standard behavior? (to take different exchange rate)

How to determine fixed exchange rate or not on contract SD?

Hi all,
I am looking how we can determine if a contract has got fixed exchange rate or not?
In header data (first tab) we can see currency and exchange rate but I do not see a flag (as in PO) for fixing this one...
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
We can check the and maintain exchange rate by following setting,
IMG->SAP NetWeaver>General Settings->Currencies--->Enter Exchange Rates
There are other setting also under the same currencies tab.
Thanks,

Exchange rate account not defined

While doing F-04 for a particular bank incoming clearing account, I am getting an error saying : exchange rate account not defined for G/L account and currency INR.
All the postings in the account are in INR and I have also done settings in OBA1 for KDF.
Please help
Thanks

Why would I need to maintain exchange rate settings if all entries are in local currency?
One more observation:
During f-04 clearing, when I toggle between local currency and clearing currency, there is a difference of 25000000.
Any ideas?
Thanks

How to check Exchange rates are daily updating in BW

Hi All,
How can we check whether currency exchange rates are updating from R/3 to BW.
If not how can we update daily from r/3 to bw in Background Job?
How can we do manully in BW?
Thanks in Advance,
C.V.

Hi,
First of all check what time and how frequently the R3 system gets updated with the new/changed exchange rates. Depending on that you'll need to fix up the timings after the R3 system has been updated.
If you use PCs or any scheduling tool you can easily schedule them in the background using the background jobs.

Exchange rate difference not going to the correct GL account

Hello,
In the transaction OB09, I have given the GL account 702000 for exchange rate difference realized loss and gain.
I have also maintained the exchange rates in the transaction OB08.
In transaction F-44(clear vendor), I give the foreign curreny(EUR) in the entry screen. When I do a charge off difference, however, I need to enter the amount in local currency(USD) because our bank operates in the local currency. When I do a document simulate, it puts the exchange rate difference into another GL account (703030 - that we have defined for unauthorized deductions) and not the one defined for the exchange rate difference(702000). This does not happen if I enter the amount also in the foreign currency.
Could anyone tell me the reason for this and the correction measures.
Any helpful suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rugmani

Hello,
The original problem is resolved. The current exchange rate was not getting uploaded to the system and as a result, the old exchange rate was being used. So it was putting the difference into the other account.
That has given rise to another problem. We use the TBEX to upload exchange rates from a centrally maintained spreadsheet. The upload is giving the following errors:
Securities master data EUR do not exist!
Interest rate master data CNY is missing
Suggestions and correction measures will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Leading Zeros of Consumption in historical time series are not considered

We are using VM MRP Type and weighted average model to calculate forecast value using historical consumption values. I have 36 historical periods(months) but have consumption incurred only in last period i-e "1". I have choosen a weighted group 01 (20% for 1-12 month, 30% for 13-24 month, 50% for 25-36 month). Using these setting it should calculate the basic value as 1*0.5/12 = .042 but it gives "1" as basic value not considering leading zero consumption value in historical time series. If i put a value in first period it calculates correctly and considers the leading zero.
We have implemented note 1113276, 1145764 & 1113277 and have chosen CV_OPTION="X" in the interface as per theses notes instructions but still while executing the forecast it is not considering the leading zeros.
We are using ECC 6.0 MM with 602 support pack.
Need urgent help in this regard.

Have you followed the steps as per SAP Note 1113276 , Just check below link with same subject discussed check it helps you,

R/3 numbers are not reflected in APO

HI
i transfered planned order from PPDS to R/3. it successfully CIFed as production order but R/3 production orders are not reflecting in APO. all integration models are in active status. what will be the reason

Hi Thennarasu,
One or more of the input products(components) have special procurement key set in R/3 material master for withdrawal from another plant.
Planned orders are changed in SAP APO and then the conversion indicator is set to initiate conversion into a manufacturing order.
But the queue from SAP APO to SAP R/3 hangs with an error message that indicates that the material in question is not maintained in the certain storage location of a specified plant.
As a result, the planned order is not converted.
Check to maintain the storage locations in customising - Enterprise Structure->Definition->Materials Management->Maintain Storage locations. Here maintain the storage locations of the Plant from which you are procuring the components under the Plant which requires them.
Please confirm
Regards
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

User are getting kicked out of SNP planning book

Hello Experts
I hope you can help me out here!
From time to time we are experiencing strange issue for SNP user's .. User are getting kicked out from SNP planning book
Please help us.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
As far as I know, users should not get kicked out unless someone terminates their session.
Even if they lock some data and the same data is needed by some job, it's the job that would fail showing data lock. Similarly, if some other uses tries to access the locked data, the user who is accessing later would face the issue of not being able to go to edit mode.
It's possible to write programs that could specifically do this work of kicking out users before we run batch jobs, but let me assume that this is not the case with you.
One possibility is that there is issue in livecache and so users are not able to access livecache or get kicked out from their active session (e.g. your log area gets full, then users would soon get kicked out after seeing the system hanging initially). This you would need to check at the time when users face issue. This would also mean that other processes that need livecache should also fail e.g. GATP, or SNP planning or PPDS planning related jobs would fail at the same time.
If you could share exactly what error message the users are seeing, that could be helpful in resolving the issue.
Thanks - Pawan

Mass update exchange rate type (not rate) in open sales orders

Hi all,
Our requirement is to update the exchange rate type at sales order header (VBAK-KURST) for all open sales orders with a new type created. (Z001). This field does not appear in MASS transaction for sales orders despite being present in the structure MASSSDHEAD.
This field cannot be located even in VA02 transaction (I am not sure if standard SAP masks or shows this field at header; I also can't find any transaction variants assigned).
Can anyone suggest how this field can be updated for sales orders either individually or in mass mode.
Regards,
KC
SAP SD

You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
1. Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
3. click continue (don't select background)
4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
5. now start another session and go to transaction SE51
6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
Hope this answers your question
