Documentation
Definition
Indicates the translation model that is used.
Use
- If you activate this indicator, the SAP System's internal translation modules are calculated using a different algorithm. The algorithm complies with the European Union's guidelines for monetary union.
When currencies are translated using a reference currency, a triangular method is applied. This means that an interim figure is calculated in the reference currency. Then this interim figure is converted into the required currency. The interim figure is rounded to the number of decimal places available for the reference currency plus one extra decimal place.
Note: This procedure cannot be used if the rate category is "Spreads". - If you do not activate this indicator, a triangular method is still used when you translate currencies using a reference currency (provided that the rate category is not "Spreads". However, the interim result is not rounded. This method also meets the EU standard, which stipulates that the interim results are to be rounded to at least three decimal places in the reference currency.
If the rate category is "Spreads", the triangular method cannot be used, and hence the EU guideline cannot be met.
Dependencies
If you activate this indicator, you have to specify a reference currency.
Example
You want to translate DEM333.68 into FRF. The following indirectly quoted rates are used:
From currency To currency Middle rate
DEM EUR 1.95583
FRF EUR 6.55957
If the indicator is activated, the calculation is as follows:
EUR amount = 333.68 / 1.95583 = EUR 170.608 (rounded to three decimal places)
FRF amount = 170.608 x 6.55957 = FRF 1119.12 (rounded to two decimal places)
If the indicator is not activated, the calculation is as follows:
FRF amount = (333.68 / 1.95583) x 6.55957 = FRF1119.11
In this case, the interim result in EUR has more than three decimal places.
