Definition

Rate type under which the proposed rate is defined for foreign currency documents.

Use

If no exchange rate is specified in the document header when entering documents in foreign currencies, the system will automatically select a rate from the currency translation rate table. The system then converts all amounts in the document's line items using this exchange rate.

The system uses the average rate as a default value as long as no other exchange rate type is entered here.

Procedure

If you do not want to use the average rate (rate type M) as the default value for the document type selected, enter the rate type you want to use (bank buying rate, bank selling rate, group exchange rate, ...) here.

Dependencies

You can only use an alternative rate type if the conversion factors for that rate match the factors for all currencies with rate type M.

The exchange rate type entered here will not have any effect on automatic payment transactions. Since the document type for automatic payments depends on the payment method, which in turn can be determined by the amount to be paid converted to local currency, you have to determine your local currency amounts prior to selecting the document type. The selected exchange rate type, then, is not yet known at the time of currency conversion.

In spite of this, it is still possible to preset an exchange rate type for each payment run, independent of document type.

Examples

If you use exchange rate type XY, and the rates between currencies CURR1 and CURR2 are specified as having a 100:1 ratio, but the ratio for rate type M is 1:1, you will get an error message when you try to post.
