Documentation
Definition
Exchange rate used for the translation between foreign currency and local currency.
Procedure
In entry transactions, you only specify the exchange rate if you want a different rate to the table rate.
Dependencies
If you use the option to enter the local currency and the foreign currency amount manually when you are entering an item, a different exchange rate may result than that in the "Exchange Rate" field.
Supplementary Documentation - KURSF 0110
Use
- Line Item Entry:
The amounts in the value fields of the line items are entered in the currency you specify in the field "Foreign currency key". The system uses this exchange rate to translate into the operating concern currency.
If additional currencies (local currencies) are updated for the operating concern, the amounts are calculated by translating from the foreign currency. If the exchange rate from foreign currency -> local currency is fixed, the system uses the average rate defined in table TCURR. If the exchange rate is not fixed, the average rate in table TCURR is multiplied by a correction factor.
Example:
Operating concern currency: DEM
Company code currency: USD
Foreign currency key: ITL
Exchange rate: 1.00000
Tabelle TCURR:
Curr.typ From To Valid from Exch/rate Factor(from) Factor(to)
M ITL DEM 01.01.1996 1.01400 1,000:1
M ITL USD 01.01.1996 0.65300 1,000:1
- No Exchange Rate Fixing
100000 ITL -> * 1.00000/1000 -> 100.00 DEM
100000 ITL -> * 0.65300/1000 * 1.00000/1.01400 -> 64.40 USD - Exchange Rate Fixing
100000 ITL -> * 1.00000/1000 -> 100.00 DEM
100000 ITL -> * 0.65300/1000 -> 65.30 USD
If you make no entry in this field, the amounts are translated using the average exchange rate in table TCURR.
- Line Item Report, Displaying a Line Item:
This field contains the translation exchange rate at which the amounts in the value fields of the line items are translated from the currency entered in the "Foreign currency field" to the currency that is to be updated for the operating concern.
To receive the actual translation rate, this value must be multiplied by the corresponding translation factors in table TCURR.

Dependencies

Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Only users that enter documents for company codes using the same local currency can make an entry in the exchange rate field. This local currency must be defined in the user settings.
