Hi folks,
I know this is a long shot that anyone can help but here goes..
Our site has local currency BOB and an additional local currency (local currency 2) USD.
So we usually get 2 local currency amounts in documents, a BOB amount and a USD amount.
When clearing in local currency BOB we are getting a lot of exchange rate difference postings for documents that are in foreign currency. We want to stop the exchange rate difference postings when we clear in local currency BOB, as it is not necessary to post a difference for clearing.
The setting in OBY6 for this is tick box "no forex rate diff. when clearing LC"
However even when this is ticked in OBY6 I STILL get the gain/loss exchange rate postings when for example a EUR document is cleared using the local currency amount in BOB. I am sure I have seen this setting work before, but not with an additional LC2. Maybe the LC2 being USD means that this setting can no longer work? We are on 4.7.
Thanks all
Got an answer from SAP on this issue
Please be informed that
OBY6 "no forex rate diff. when clearing in LC": please regard the
documenatition. The flag is only relevant for the local currency (= 1st
local currency). In your case the 2nd local currency is concerned. That
is the reason exchange rate difference items were generated for hard
currency.
So if you use a second currency forget using the OBY6 setting, you have to 'disregard the documentation'. You can never stop the exchange rate difference posting because either LC or LC2 will find a difference if the rate differs on clearing.
