Currency Conversion - READ_TCURR

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Im using the currency conversion FM as below

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING

DATE = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/SST_UP_DT

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/SSUBTOTA3

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = SOURCE_FIELDS-DOC_CURRCY

LOCAL_CURRENCY = SOURCE_FIELDS-LOC_CURRCY

RATE = EX_RATE

TYPE_OF_RATE = 'M'

READ_TCURR = ' '

IMPORTING

LOCAL_AMOUNT = VALUE

what is the significance of the parameter READ_TCURR?

Hi,

if you look at the definition of the import parameters of this function it describes that "READ_TCURR" means "Read exchange rate from table TCURR".

Basically you have two options when using this FM: either you pass an exchange range in the parameter RATE or you tell the FM to get a valid exchange rate (based on the other parameters you are passing to this FM) by passing an X in the parameter READ_TCURR.
