the exchange rate type used in TBB1 postings

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I need to change the exchange rate type used in TBB1 postings. Currently, the configuration points to the type M but we need to work with B.

I even know where I change this setting but I'm afraid that this change only affects the TRM-TM or whether it is a change that affects other modules such as FI-GL. Does anyone have this information?

Best regards,

Clau Ellis.

Hello,

The system uses exchange rate type 'M' by default - this is not a
program error, but knowingly designed to ensure that foreign amount is
always translated into local currency with the same exchange rate
(or exchange rate type).

Please refer to note 450171 for details (corrections from this note,
which are the basis for enabling the modification are already
implemented in your system).

The correction instructions of the note are for 46C, but important is
the long text, especially the solution. As I wrote earlier, exchange
rate 'M' is hardcoded in some programs. And this can not be changed in
standard. If you want to modify this you have to change calling
of the function module TB_CURRENCY_AMOUNTS_CONVERT in these programs.
You only have to do the manual modification as described in the long
text of the note, i.e. insert line:
I_TYPE_OF_RATE    = MY_TYPE_OF_RATE

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jasmine

Hello Claus/ Jasmine,

Hope you guys are doing good !

If I understood the requirement clearly the Claus want to change rate type,

I believe change should be done on below path

TRM-TM-General Settings- Organization - Define calculation indicator.

Once we define the same and assign the same into define company code additional data system will pick the same for TBB1.

Let me know if you have any further question.

Hello, Jain. Thank you for your reply.

You understood the question and I'll change the exchange rate type in customizing but my fear is if this change will affect other modules besides the TRM-TM as FI-GL. Do you have this information?

Hello Claus,

Incase you make any changes in OB08 it has impact in all the sap transaction as all the foreign exchange rate will be picked through OB08 or and OB09, How ever your requirement is only with specific to TRM so you should make this changes specifically in particular module as per your requirement.

Hope I answer your question correctly.

Claus,

Mr.Jain is correct. If you assign a Calculation indicator - which contains a different exchange rate type other than 'M' -  in the step 'Define Company Code Additional Data'  to your company code, this exchange rate type will be used in TBB1 posting. In additional to assigning the correct calculation indicator in this step, you have to check the radio button 'Use Rate type in Financial Transaction' appearing in the same place. This will impact only Transaction Manager postings. This will not affect your FI postings or any other module postings.

If you do not select this, your assignment to the company code will not have any impact.

Read the documentation for the radio button 'Use Rate type in Financial Transaction' which is reproduced below.

Hope this helps.

Use of Exchange Rate Type in Financial Transactions

• When you set this indicator, the exchange rate type applied in all financial transactions of the Transaction Manager to convert amounts into the local currency is the exchange rate type that you specify in Customizing for the Transaction Manager under General Settings -> Organization -> Define Company Code Additional Data in the area Exchange Rate Settings.
• If you do not set this indicator, conversions within financial transactions use exchange rate type M.

Dependencies

Note, however, that these settings can be overwritten by other valuation area-dependent settings. For more information, see under General Settings -> Accounting -> Organization -> Assign Accounting Codes and Valuation Areas.

Furthermore, there are exchange rate type settings for special functions, such as key date valuation. For more information, see under General Settings -> Accounting -> Settings for Position Management -> Key Date Valuation.
