Copy Control : LF delivery to F2 Billing

[Former Member]

Can anyone advise in the copy control from LF to F2 for standard item 'TAN', the pricing exchange rate type = blank is for what purpose? Seems it's behaving similar to 'C' where the exchange rate follows the billing date when executing VF01. Why does SAP provide a blank selection?

Thanks

Hi Peter

This is used when the exchange rates are calculated while billing document creation.

When a sales order is created with document currency different from company code currency, the exchange rate will be determined based on the sales order creation date. This value will be available in sales order.

However during invoice creation, the client would like to determine the exchange rate again based on say billing date/billing document creation date /sales order creation date itself etc. This functionality is of vital importance in commodity trading/forex trading etc. In those cases we can mention the exchange rate type in copy control.

In normal situations, the exchange rate defined in the sales order will be automatically copied without any repricing in the invoice document. Hence it will always be the exchange rate as available on the date of order creation.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.
