Exchange Rate Type upon PO/PR

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is there a config to default exchange rate type upon PO/PR creation? I was told that by default it will read type 'M' and I'll be the happiest man if it can link to type 'M'.

In my case, it reads from other type i.e. '2004'. Thus, I was wondering how does it reads and is it based on configuration? Thanks in advance.

Yes it definitely defaults to M. Is there a valid M type x-rate defined for the currencies you're looking at?

I suggest you to check global company code(mentioned in po/pr) setting

for exchange rates in spro financial accounting ??.

Whether new po's / pr's were created from existing or old documents ?

Nick,

There's no value being maintained in OBDA including M. May I know what is it (OBDA) for?

Nick/Redriver,

Yes, I did maintain type M in OB08. Yet, it still reads other exchange rate type.

Have a look at tx OBDA see if a rate type, other than M, has been set there.

HI,

In OB08 maintain with exchange rate type M , valid from , from currency , rate (dir. quot.) and to currency

(and also consult with your FI consultant )

it will come to PO.

I know the Finance guys can change the type but it's very unusual.
