Documentation
Definition
Use
You use the procedure for exchange rate determination to define how the exchange rates are determined in currency translation.
You specify the procedure for exchange rate determination in Customizing of the currency translation method.
Consolidation offers the following standard procedures:
- Exchange rate type: for selecting one of the exchange rate tables stored for the SAP exchange rate types
- Exchange rate indicator: for using an exchange rate type depending on the version and date
- Investments: for determining an effective exchange rate from the additional financial data for changes in investments
- Equity: for determining an effective exchange rate from the additional financial data for changes in equity
You can also create additional procedures for exchange rate determination in the customer namespace (which starts with a letter). The custom procedures, along with the standard procedures, are offered for selection in Customizing of currency translation methods.
If you specify a parameter when creating a procedure for exchange rate determination, this parameter is also offered for selection when the procedure is listed.
At the time of execution, whenever a custom procedure for exchange rate determination is encountered, the system calls the Business Add-In for exchange rate determination (UC_CTR_XRPROC). There you can freely determine the exchange rate for each data record being translated.
Dependencies
Example
In your legacy data transfer, you want to use historical exchange rates for certain consolidation units. You have stored these exchange rates in customer-defined tables - one for each consolidation unit. And for the remaining consolidation units you want to use exchange rate indicators for determining exchange rates.
To do this, you create a new procedure for exchange rate determination with the parameter exchange rate indicator. You use this procedure (instead of the normal exchange rate indicator) in the currency translation methods. Then, in the Business Add-In you either determine the exchange rate yourself or you switch to the normal procedure exchange rate indicator, depending on your requirements.
