Hello,
I need to set up the following scenario for a purchasing flow in foreign currency.
Local currency = EUR, foreign currency = USD
Material valuated at MAP
PO value = 1000 USD
Good receipt day 1, exchange rate M on that day : 1 USD = 0.8 EUR
Debit Inventory 1000 USD 800 EUR
Credit GR/IR 1000 USD 800 EUR
Invoice receipt day 2, exchange rate M on that day : 1 USD = 1 EUR
SAP as standard does the following (alternative logic, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/45/5c4a52eedd2f95e10000000a155369/content.htm) :
Debit GR/IR 1000 USD 800 EUR
Credit Vendor 1000 USD 1000 EUR
Debit unrealized FX diff 0 USD 200 EUR
We don't want this, we want the following posting :
Debit GR/IR 1000 USD 800 EUR
Credit Vendor 1000 USD 800 EUR
Meaning that the IR picks up the fx rate from the GR and no fx diff posting is generated.
Fx diff will only be posted when the vendor is paid.
I know it's possible to enter an exchange rate manually in MIRO , but is there a way to automate this ?
Thanks for your insight,
Rom
