Multiplying Currency Field

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to multiply 2 fields (TYPE KBETR) and store the result in a field (KBETR). When I multiply 722.00 * 279.00 value is getting stored as 20143800.00 instead of 201438.00. Why? & how to correct it.

Thanks in advance.

Balaji Viswanath.

Try debugging your code. It should work fine.

data: field1 type KBETR,
      field2 type KBETR,
      field3 type KBETR.

field1 = '722.00'.
field2 = '279.00'.

field3 = field1 * field2.

WRITE: / field3.

Output:

201,438.00

Hello Balaji,

Do you have "Fixed point arithmetic" set in the attributes of your program.

Hi,

The resule field should also the type KBETR.

i ahve writen an example program and it is working fine

data: var1 type KBETR.

data: var2 type KBETR.

data: var3 type KBETR.

var1 = '722.00'.

var2 = '279.00'.

var3 = var1 * var2.

Write:/ var3.

What is the aim of the operation ? In which business case do you have to multiply an amount by another amount ? What is the unit of the result ? Square currency unit ?

Hi Balaji,

If you are handling Japan/Korean currency then it will be multiplied by internally 100 by SAP itself . Please check the function module CURRENCY_AMOUNT_SAP_TO_DISPLAY. Here you have to pass the amount and currency key then you will get the SAP display for the amount entered.

Hi,

Actually I have written the code inside include MV45AFZZ in turn it's under include SAPMV45A, in that Fixed point arithmetic is not selected. Since it's standard SAP program I can't change it. So now I am dividing the output by 100.

Thanks to everyone.

Hi Balaji,

Yes, you will need to divide by 100. With fixed point aritmetic this calculation would have been performed successfully.
