An exchange rate type is used for exchange rate CHF/CHF which is defined as a fixed exchange rate . However the exchange rate with which the system should continue to calculate is different from this fixed exchange rate.

Hello

For this error i am giving more details. company code currency is CHF frame work order has posted in CHF. In PO exchange rate it has picked up /1.0000 and fixed exchange rate check box has not selected. While doing MIRO the system has picked after entering PO number curreny CHF and exchange rate /1.00000. i think this is correct.

In OB22 first local currency is CHF ,translation taking transaction currency as basis and Group currency is USD , translation taking first local currency as basis, and index based currency is CHF. , translation taking as transaction currency as basis . for all we are using exchange rate type M . i am getting the error msg type F5 and message number 768.Doc type it is taking KB. for doc type KB no exchange rate type has assigned.

Hi,

If exchange rates other than the fixed exchange rates are used, the system displays warning messages or error messages.

Check the document type for this Invoice and check exchange rate that is being picked up.It could be a diff ex rate type.Usually system picks the M type,but if u want the system to pickup a diff ex rate other than M you can mention in the document type.

Thanks

It seems in PO the buyer has checked the box fixed in the foreign currency.

If so system while doing the transaction it will pick up that rate in PO only.

Please check and confirm
