Exchange rate differences with account assigned PO

[ngiannopoulos]

Good afternoon.

Could you please advise on how to go about managing and posting exchange rate differences in he case of POs with account assignment? I assume they should be somehow different than these without account assignment, since they do not involve GR or, in case they do, this GR is not valuated.

I have read notes 700468 and 980402, which state that this functionality does not exist in standard system, and it can be acquired if i implement note 980402 and support packages SAP_APPL 600 SAPKH60012 and SAP_APPL 602 SAPKH60202. However, we are in SAP HANA 1709 and i am not sure if this note and the support packages are relevant for us. I am worrying about the consequences, especially because even by reading the note, the note was not really clear to me.

Closing this question, i would like to ask (a) if someone could help me understand on how to handle exchange rate differences in the case of POs with account assignment and (b) what are the prerequisites and what should i take care about if i go forward with the note 980402 corrections

Thank you very much

Best personal regards
