FBL5N - Effective Exchange Rate

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can someone tell me how the effective exchange rate is calculated in FBL5N? The customer invoice has a header and item exchange rate. The accounting document also has a header exchange rate, however all of these are different from the effective exchange rate.

Thanks,

Hi

Exchange rate in Header is the exchange rate which is populated from TCURR table for the corresponding posting date (translation date).

Effective exchange rate is the computed figure based on the amounts in local currency and amounts in document currency.

Ideally both of these would be same, but when you manually change the LC amounts at the time of document posting, then you get a variation between Exchange rate and Effective Exchange rate.

Hi

Thanks for the response. Can you explain how one would manually change the LC amounts at the time of document posting? I am looking at the invoice (VF02) and not sure where one could do this

Hi

Am not sure how you can do it in VF02 as the data automatically flows from Sales orders.

But you can input LC amounts when you manually post invoice via FB70.

Thanks

Hello,

Can we then display the Effective Exchange Rate in the field Exchange Rate in the Header data in the Accounting document (instead of the one getting populated from the TCURR table as per standard)? If yes, how do we do it?

Your detailed response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks n regards
