Definition

Receipts and advances in foreign currency can be reimbursed or paid in an alternative hard currency or foreign currency The hard currency must be stored for the country of the employee's company code in the view 'Define countries'.

Example:
An employee of a Mexican company travels to Canada and receives for the receipts paid in Canadian dollars reimbursement in the hard currency (USD) stored generally for Mexico.

The system offers the following options:

  1. Reimbursement of foreign currency receipts in trip currency
    All receipt reimbursements and advances are paid and posted in trip currency.
  2. Reimbursement of foreign currency receipts in hard currency
    All foreign currency receipt reimbursements and advances are paid and posted in hard currency and all receipts and advances in trip currency in the trip currency. This can not be overridden in dialog.
  3. Reimbursement of foreign currency receipts per receipt in trip currency or hard currency
    For each foreign currency receipt or advance, you can choose the trip or hard currency as accounting currency. The accounting currency is preassigned as described in point two.
  4. Reimbursement of foreign currency receipts per receipt in any foreign currency
    For each foreign currency receipt or advance you can choose either the trip currency, hard currency or a foreign currency of your choice as the accounting currency. The accounting currency is preassign described in point two.

Limitations:

  • The hard or foreign currency is not used for trip expense types in expense category 'V'.
  • For transfer to HR Payroll Accounting, all amounts are converted to the accounting currency of Payroll Accounting. Consequently, the hard currency can not be used for payment via Payroll Accounting.
  • Usage of credit card clearing in connection with the hard or foreign functions is currently not possible. The exchange rates supplied by credit card companies always refer to the trip currency.
  • Payment via DME in connection with the hard currency functions requires additional bank details:
    An employee's account can only be maintained in one currency. DMA needs, therefore, in addition to bank details for 'Trip expenses' or 'Main bank', a connection to which amounts in hard currency can be transferred. This connection is to be stored in infotype 0009, type HC2, Trip expenses in hard currency.
  • Payments via DME using the foreign currency function is not possible at present.
