Exchange rates can be entered as a direct or indirect quotation. Here you can maintain two prefixes that can be used to differentiate between direct and indirect quotation exchange rates during input and output.
Example
Your local currency is EUR. You enter a business transaction in the transaction currency USD. '/' has been defined as the prefix for indirect quotation and ' ' for direct quotation (' ' = no prefix necessary). You can then either enter the exchange rate as a direct quotation without a prefix, e.g. '0.97234' or as an indirect quotation with prefix '/', e.g. '/1.08456'.
Standard settings
If you do not set up a prefix here, the standard setting is valid:
- ' ' for direct quotation exchange rates
- '/' for indirect quotation exchange rates
The prefix ' ' means that you can enter the exchange rate without a prefix.
Recommendation
If you use mainly direct quotation exchange rates, you should set the prefix for
- direct quotation as ' '
- indirect quotation as a different symbol, e.g. '/'
In this way you can continue to enter direct quotation exchange rates without a prefix in transactions where the exchange rate has to be entered manually.
If, in addition to direct quotation exchange rates, you increasingly use indirect quotation exchange rates, you should define a prefix that is not ' ' for both quotation types, e.g:
- '*' for direct quotation
- '/' for indirect quotation
This configuration does not allow exchange rates to be entered without a prefix and is therefore suitable for the transition phase. Users who previously only used direct quotation exchange rates, i.e. entering rates without a prefix, can no longer enter the rates in the usual manner. Entries made without a prefix are rejected. The user is thus forced to consider which the correct quotation is and enter the rate with a valid prefix. This reduces the risk of incorrect entries being made.
If you use mainly indirect quotation exchange rates at your company, you can change the settings again and set the prefix for
- direct quotation, e.g. to '*'
- indirect quotation to ' '
This configuration allows indirect quotation exchange rates to be entered without a prefix whereas the less used direct quotation exchange rates must be entered with a prefix.
Further notes
The exchange rate prefixes determine the display of the exchange rates on the user interface. For input this affects the transactions executed manually and the use of batch input. For output this affects the display and change transactions and also lists and reports. The internal presentation of exchange rate fields depends on the configuration of the prefixes for the user interface. Changing the prefixes in a running production system is risky. If such a change seems meaningful, you should coordinate and plan this in your company with care and be sure to inform all the affected areas.
