Hi

create POu2019s successfully for UK company code. :

A PO is created in 8001 for a Vendor in UK in GBP for 2500 GBP. In OB08 the rate is maintained as 1GBP = 2 USD. Based on OB08 exchange rate on the date of creation the release strategy 11 which has an amount range of 0-5000 USD is determined and the it is applied. The next level 12 is 5000.01-25000.00 USD. A week later the exchange rate is changed as 1GBP = 2.10 USD.. On that day in ME29N or through users inbox ME29N when called up, it determines that the value is more than 5000 USD and applies tries to apply the 2nd level strategy and make the PO to be approved by 2nd level approver also.

Hence, the question is, is there a way that OB08 should not be called up when at a later the date the approval is being done?

Hi,

Since you have created your PO value as a Characteristic & assigned to your class, & configured your release strategies based that System will determine the PO Strategy based on the PO value.

Anyhow I guess that we have an option to make our exchange rate as fixed in our PO. So even if you create a PO on todays date & release it after 10 days, system wont determine a new release strategy even if there is a change in exchange rate.

I havent tried this. its only a guess just check it out!

Hey Vivek,

How often does this happen? Moreover Iam assuming this is an issue with change documents only.

At this point you might not be using the Fixed exchange rate indicator on the PO header.. is this because your purchases need to be valuated based on that day's currency.. Can the business side approve fixing that indicator? If the answer is no, then you cannot do it either, unless you maintain both currency fields as charateristics in the Strategy and classify them accordingly
