Documentation
Definition
The value date in planning determines which daily exchange rates apply for currency translation.
- If you enter a date, the SAP system uses the exchange rate for that day in all periods.
- If you do not enter a value date, the system translates currency by period. The SAP system determines an exchange rate based on the starting dates from each period, which includes potential exchange rate fluctuations in a fiscal year.
Note
This does not apply to accrual calculations or overheads in the plan. You enter the vale date in the transaction manually, by choosing Extras -> Value date.
Supplementary Documentation - PLDAT 0001
Use
You can plan primary costs in many differenct currencies. If you plan costs in CO area currency, you can calculate the amounts in the cost center or order currency automatically.
You need to specify a value date for the SAP System to find the required rate in the exchange rate table. You specify this value date in a dialog window.
If you do not specify a value date, the system takes the first date of each planning period as the default, provided exchange rates exist for those dates.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Direct dependencies to the controlling area, fiscal year, and planning parameter fields exist. These dependencies determine whether you may plan primary costs in different currencies or not.
- Controlling area and fiscal year
The controlling area and fiscal year determine if the cost accounting data bases are updated with values in currencies other than the controlling area currency (if the field "Update all currencies" is flagged for the controlling area data). If this is the case, currency translation is necesary. A dialog window appears in which you can set the value date and decide if currencies are translated according to the exchange rate for the value date or period-based. - Planning parameters
If the condition described under Point 1 is met, and if the manual cost planning field is flagged in the planning parameters, the currency field groups not planned manually are computed automatically based on the value date or period. Take note that the exchange rate type in the planning parameters affects the rate in the exchange rate table.
Supplementary Documentation - PLDAT 0002
Use
Various currencies are processed in assessment/distribution. The CO area currency is the main control currency. There are two options if the object currency (order currency or cost center currency) is also updated in the controlling area:
- Object currency is recorded separately.
- Object currency is determined from the controlling area currency at posting. Here currency translation is necessary.
You must specify a value date which the SAP System uses to find the relevant rate in the exchange rate table. You specify this value date in a pop-up. If you do not specify a value date, the system takes the exchange rate for each period - for plan values, this is the exchange rate for the first day of the period; for actual values, the rate for the last day of the period.
Examples
The assessment/distribution is run for the periods January to March. The object currency is determined from the controlling area currency. The controlling area currency is DM. A cost center uses Swiss Francs as its currency.
- February 15 is selected as the value date.
At posting, the values are for all three periods are translated at the exchange rate of 15 February. - If the value date field is not filled:
The translation for January is at the rate on 01 Jan, the translation for February is at the rate on 01 Feb, and the translation for March is at the rate on 01 Mar.
