Coversion between two different currencies in Purchase Order

647 Views


Dear All

Currently we have some cases where Purchase Order header currency and item condition currency differs

For example

PO header currency is CNY and item condition currency is EUR

In item conditions we have maintained 2.38 USD which will reflect in item net price of the PO as 14.62 CNY. SAP does this conversion automatically based on exchange rates

But for populating the item condition in Purchase Order header currency into particular field in Purchase order outbound idoc we use 'READ_EXCHANGE_RATE' and then convert using exchange rate obtained from this FM.

This FM gives exchange rate of 6.14513. As per calculation 2,38 USD * 6.14513 = 14.6254094. Then in program we rounds of this 14.63 .But as mentioned above and also in EWCT SAP converts to 14.62.

So would like to know how SAP does this conversion OR is there any other FM or way we should use to do this conversion

Please let me know your thoughts

Regards

Shyam
