Payment amount in Foreign Currency

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The Company code Currency is GBP.

However we have an employee who we'd like to reimburse based on the amount entered in Euros on the trip transaction screen (The employee is based in Spain). This is for Non Credit-card expenses.

At the moment, the system converts the EUR amount to GBP and then settles the employess in the GBP equivalent.

I have tried to make some changes in the Global settings for Travel management but with no luck.

Please help.

Hi,

You can settle the trip in Foreign currency, this is possible to do

this, you can do the following in IMG:

Travel Management

Travel Expenses

Master Data

Control Parameters for Travel Expenses

Define Global Settings

you can among others define the 'Settlement of Foreign Currency

Receipts'. Here you can choose e.g. 'Choose Foreign Currency Per

Receipt'. Then the field 'Accounting Currency' becomes ready for

input in PR05 or TRIP. If you do that, the amounts are also posted

e.g. in EUR to FI.

hi,

Thanks,I have made the changes to the global settings. The Accounting Currency field is not appearing on either trip or PR05 screen.

Hi,

You will have to activate the accounting currency field through FITVFELD only. What Raynard has suggeted will make that field editable so that you can settle in foreign currency.
