For each currency pair you can define either the indirect quotation or the direct quotation as the standard quotation for the exchange rate.
This setting is used for the following activities:
- When you process the exchange rates table you can enter the exchange rate either as a direct or an indirect quotation. If the exchange rate you enter does not have the same quotation as the standard quotation set up here, the exchange rate is highlighted to show this. Check in this case that you have entered the exchange rate in the correct field.
- An exchange rate is only taken from the exchange rates table if it has already been given by the user or another function. If this is a type of exchange rate that demands translation using a reference currency, the standard quotation is used if the direct exchange rate (cross rate) is to be determined for further processing. The direct exchange rate is provided as standard quotation.
- In the majority of the transactions there is an input help (F4) for the exchange rate fields. This allows you, amongst other things, to calculate the exchange rate from two currency amounts entered. The result is given with the quotation set up for that currency pair.
Further notes
You can reduce the number of entries to be maintained by using generic currency keys.
If one or both currency keys are left blank, this means that this can be used for all currencies. The standard quotation for a currency pair is determined internally as follows:
- A search is made for entries that match the 'from' and 'to' currencies of the currency pair to be checked.
- If no entries can be found, a search is made for entries that match just the 'to' currency and where the 'from' currency is initial.
- If no entries can be found, a search is made for entries that match just the 'from' currency and where the 'to' currency is initial.
- If no entries are found, a search is made for entries where both the 'from' and the 'to' currency are initial.
- If no entries can be found, the direct quotation is taken as the standard quotation.
The entries are sorted according to this access method and then by validity date: The system checks the entries in the given sequence (points 1 to 5) and then, on the highest level on which entries have been found, selects according to validity date. Entries with a validity date that is earlier than the translation date are ignored. From the remaining entries, the entry is taken that has the most current validity date but that is still earlier than the translation date to be checked. The date used to fetch the exchange rate from the exchange rates table, such as the posting date in the accounting document, is used as the translation date.
