Diagnosis

This message involves a problem with the currency conversion to the euro.

You tried to reverse an existing document with the manual billing transaction, but the currencies in the documents are different: The current document has currency , while the existing document has currency .

To convert correctly, the price used must be defined in both currencies. The price for both currencies must be identical in both the time slices and the blocks.

Please note the following when converting the price and net amounts:

The net amount is converted to the euro using the valid conversion rate. The price amount is taken from the price table. This results in the following problem:

Normally, the net amount is calculated by multiplying the quantity by the price. Because the price amount from the price table can be different due to the mathematical conversion to the euro, multiplying the quantity times the price amount does not necessarily result in the displayed net amount.

Example:

Old document in DM:

Price amount in DM     1.00 / kWh

Quantity    100 kWh

Net amount in DM     100.00

Price in EURO    0.5*

*The exact price in EURO is 0.51129...

Before the transfer to the new document, the net amount is multiplied by the defined conversion rate. The new price amount is taken from the table.

New document in EURO:

Price amount in EURO     0.5 / kWh

Quantity     100 kWh

Net amount in EURO    51.13 EURO

The net amount differs due to rounding the EURO price before multiplying the price by the quantity.

A simple multiplication would result in a net amount of 50.00 EURO.
