incorrect hard currency exchange rate

97 Views

Dear Expert,

I have a client with the company currency USD the second currency (Hard currency) is VND. In OB22 I have maintained the second currency as hard currency and the exchange rate type is M.

The user had maintained the exchange rate as follow on 22.11.2010 for exchange rate type M

1EUR = 1.3974USD and 1USD = 19,500VND

When user did a posting on 22.11.2010 and the translation date for the posted document is also 22.11.2010 but the system choose the exchange rate as follow

Document currency EUR 1464.82 , local Currency USD 2,043.00 and local currency2 VND 41,105,134.32

When I use the EUR amount divided by USD amount the exchange rate is 1EUR = 1.3974USD which is correct.

However, when I use the USD amount divided by VND amount the exchange rate I got is 1USD: 20,119.99VND.

This is strange to me as the SAP should use the exchange rate maintained in SAP which is 1USD = 19,500VND. However, system use exchange rate 1USD: 20,119.99VND where I could not found such exchange rate in the exchange maintenance in SAP.

Does anyone know how come SAP will choose such an exchange rate?

Thank you

Max
