currency translation result xxxxx is too large - SG106

[Former Member]

How to handle posting large dollar amount transactions that convert to foreign currency with large TCURF from ratio and throw error SG106? For instance, conversion of USD to SLL uses a 1 to 1000 conversion ratio and an exchange rate of approx. 0.30. Length of the converted amount in SLL exceeds length limit of the currency amount field when USD amount exceeds $3,000,000.

Some have suggested only way to handle is to split the document into multiple line items each with an amount less than $3,000,000. Any better way to handle this?

Thanks

Thanks AP.

Most notes on SG106 fix program errors. Note 1151658 seems to be correcting a program error that causes SG106. That is not my issue. SG106 is a valid error. What I'm looking for is how other companies handle this situation.

In our case we have frequent large dollar amount transactions with a local currency that has a high exchange ratio to USD. The ratio we are facing is around 1 to 3300. Transactions with USD amount greater than 3,000,000 are resulting in SG106 error because amount in local currency exceeds 9,999,999,99,99. I think SAP's suggestion is that we manually split the transactions into multiple transcations with smaller dollar amounts. That is not always possible, especially when dealing with automated processes.

I am looking for other work arounds.
