How to change exchange rate, if transaction posting is in local currency?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We set all BP master currency ALL

Local Currency is TSH

System Currency is USD.

While making payments to the Vendors in local currency, system currency is updating as per the rate in exchange rate table. Is there any option to overwrite exchange rate at the time making payments. Or else any work around for this.

Hi Srinivas Y,

Multicurrency (MC) BPs have all their balances held in local currency, system currency is just for reporting. The system will always apply the exchange rate that is defined for the day that you're making the payment on.

You cannot update the journal entry that is created automatically, but you can create a manual journal entry with system currency only, thus adjusting the amount. Please see SAP Note 909074.

All the best,

Kerstin
