Hi Friends,
We have maintained 'M" exchange rate type in OB07 and activated "inverted exchange rate' column only.
So, when user is creating PO with fixed exchange , then is it necessary in OB07 that exchange rate type 'M' should also have "FIXED" column to be ticked.
IF Not- then please can you all let me know where can we configure in SAP so that user can also use fixed exchange rate in PO.
Many thanks in advance,
RD
Configure it according to business requirement ?

Hi,
In purchase order header you select check box fixed exchange rate then same exchange rate is used for invoice verification in MIRO, no exchange difference between invoice and PO will be calculated in this case.
Thanks!

Hi, RD.
I am not sure I understand your issue. Are you getting any error messages?
You are able to enter a different exchange rate from that of the PO by first entering the exchange rate in the 'Detail' tab before entering the PO number. This is due to technical restrictions and can't be avoided.
Please read section 3 of note 331910
Calculation of the values for parallel local currencies in FI:
The conversion rules are set in Customizing (Transaction OB22) and used for value calculation. You can make the following settings:
- Exchange rate type
- Base currency
- Conversion date
It is not possible to enter an exchange rate manually for these.
Sorry if I have misunderstood your inquiry in the first place. If that has been the case, could you please supply more details? Maybe a step by step of the procedure you are trying to do?
Thanks,
M Trein

Hi Marcelo,
Many thanks for your time and writing to me.
Sorry If I havent made myself very clear. At present I am not getting any error, but just for my query I wanted to know in OB07 what is the fuctionality of the FIXED column.
Bacically our user has used "fixed exchange rate" in PO , but further when creating MIRO- our system is not creating subsequent debt ( as per our MIRO Workflow process user are not suppose to acivate/select "subsequent debit" BOX on line item, subequent process should take place in background)
So, I was thinking if at all we are suppose to use "fixed exchange rate" in PO.
I hope i am not making it very complicated and hoping to get any answers for my first part of the query.
Mnay thanks in advance,
RD
Hi Jeyakanthan,
Thanks for your quick reply.
As we all know SAP performance assiatance is vey helpful amd somethimes it leads to another set of query. In this scenerio I have posted this query after reading through performance assistance and that has lead me through another query.
It is always very clear that if we activate FIXED column, and if user is not using fixed exchange rate in PO then system will pop an error.
Hence, before doing any testing I wanted to hear from expert .........if somebosy has experinced i.e. what will happen if we do not activate FIXED column and when user will use fixed echange rate in PO what are implication we will have in MIRO process and so on .........
Thanks again,
Hi,
There is no direct connection between the FIXED flag in OB07 and the PO.
The fixed flag in OB07 is only for when the rates contained in the exchange rate type NEVER change.
It was used for eg The transfer from the old European currencies to the EURO and also when Rumainia changed its currency (1000 Old = 1 New). Through using a seperate exchange rate type with the fixed flag, only the new currency exchange rates had to be maintained, items posted in the old currency where converted via the fixed exchange rate type from the new rates.
Do not set the flag for M !!
Kind regards
