[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I need a clarification, WHile maintaining Exchange Rate in BCS,

1) how the Exchnage Rate values reflects in R3

2) Vise versa While maintaining Exchange Rate in R3 how it reflects in BCS.

a) Is there any BCS or any machanism needs to be followed?

b) What are the different ways to handle this?

1) how the Exchnage Rate values reflects in R3

- Madhu answer is correct.

2) Vise versa While maintaining Exchange Rate in R3 how it reflects in BCS.

- The same table is used for dealing woth C/T in BCS and BW - they share the same table.

Tables for C/T, though, have the same names in R/3 and BW/BCS, belong to different instances and do not communicate. In BW, though, you may copy global settings from another source systems (including R/3).

a) Is there any BCS or any machanism needs to be followed?

- not clear what is meant. Set uo the C/T funcrionality in BCS.

b) What are the different ways to handle this?

- Should be used the standard currency rates functionality (the same tables).

But the load to these tables might be:

1. manual

2. from source systems (copy as described above).

3. load from a file.

Hi Ritesh

You can also replicate the table entries from on system to another to ensure that the rates are always in sync. for example, you maintain rates in ECC / R3 which is one instance. This is connected to your BI which is another instance on which SEM BCS is installed. Now if you maintain the rates in R3, you can replicate the same rates in BI without any manual intervention. This will always ensure that the rates in the two instances are always in sync.
