You cannot switch plants: Different decimal points (see long text)
Help Document

Diagnosis

During data entry, you have entered or changed a plant. You have also, either previously or in the same step, entered at least one external plant.

  • EXBWR (Externally entered posting amount in local currency)
  • EXVKW (Externally entered sales value in local currency)

After this entry, the system determines which currency is the default in the plant. For each currency, you can make settings in Customizing under Set decimal places for currencies to specify the number of decimal places. This means that the currency and number of decimal places can change depending on the plant:

  • The currency in plant has decimal places.
  • The currency in plant has decimal places.

(If you have not entered a plant, the ERP system always uses two decimal places).

Switching the decimal places would cause the following situation to occur:

  • Example 1)

    You have entered an external posting amount in local currency for '1234' for plant '0001' (currency: Euro, decimal places: 2). After conversion, the amount is displayed as follows: 1.234,00.

    You then change the plant to '0002' (currency: Japanese Yen, decimal places: 0). Now the external amount is converted according to the new currency, so that the correct value (with regard to contents) would not be displayed: 123.400.

  • Example 2)

    The default values for transaction MIGO do not contain a default for the 'Plant' field. This means the system cannot determine a currency. In this case, the ERP system always uses two decimal places. If you now enter an external posting amount in local currency of '1234' with plant '0002' (currency: Japanese Yen, decimal places: 0), the system uses two decimal places instead of 0. For this reason, the external posting amount '1234' would not be converted into the correct value (with regard to contents) 123.400.

Procedure

To avoid this situation, proceed as follows:

  • For example 1)

    You can only switch plants, where the number of decimal places would change, if you have not yet entered an external value. Therefore, you should first enter the correct plant before you enter an external value. If you have already entered an external value, you must delete this value before you switch plants.

  • For example 2)
    • Alternative 1:
      • First, enter the plant and confirm with Continue. You can now enter the external value.
    • Alternative 2:
      • If you post to the plant with the different number of decimal places (not two), then the default values (Settings -> Default Values) should contain this plant as a default. This means that you can immediately enter the external value.
