Hello,

In the copy controls VTLF, you have the option to set the exchange rate at one of the following options

A Copy from sales order

B Price exchange rate = Accouting rate

C Exchange rate determination according to billing date

D Exchange rate determination according to pricing date

E Exchange rate determination according to current date

F Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered

else you can leave it blank , where it is determined form sales order. normally the sales order is the date on which the exchange rate is determined

Hope this helps

Thanks

Dear She,

I just had the same requirement last week and I would like to share my solution.

1st of all enabling Exchange Rate Field is possible with the help of ABAPers but it is not advisable...

2nd thing is I assume that u maintain Exchange Rate in OB08 regularly as per requirement.

Now you have 2 options..

1) You can cancel the Billing Document and then change the Exchange Rate in Sales Order and again create Billing Document (B'coz Exchange Rate flows from Sales Order)

2) In Billing Document Exchange Rate can be redetermined based on your settings in VTFA or VTFL Copying Controls (Field is PricingExchRate type)

So if you have maintained Exchange Rate in OB08 system will redetermin it based on PricingExchRate Type Field.

If you have maintained in this field "C" - Exchange rate determination according to billing date

then if you will change Billing Date in Header tehn Exchange Rate will also get changed according to your OB08. But make sure that Billing Document is not yet posted into FI.

Hope this wil help..

HI

As per the standard it is not possible in VF01

You can do this at the time of creation of sales order and also in Va02

else maintain the exchange rates in T code OB08
