Note

The exchange rate type in the planning parameters is only relevant for the FI-SL component.

In controlling, you can also use alternative exchange rate types for plan. However, these are not defined in the planning parameters; they are defined for a plan version per fiscal year.

For actual, the average rate is always used for the currency translation.
