Data collection: Conversion exit and Input Conversion of Local Currency

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm collecting transaction data from BI where the local currency for one company has no decimal places.

Therefore if I collect the data with no conversion, the value is multiplied by 100 in BCS .

has anyone used the Conversion Exit or Input Conversion options?

- any feedback, tips or useful documentation/links you can point me to?

All help much appreciated.

Hi TheScotsman,

I'm almost sure that the reason of this behaviour but the special treatment of some specific currencies (see the OSS note 153707). Just check if you have the currency in the TCURX table.

If yes, then please go through the links:

Thanks Euguene - this was the root of the problem.

The legacy ERP system did NOT have TCURX populated for KRW but the current ECC6 susyem does have TCURX populated for KRW, so when they loaded legacy data in ECC6, there was a multiplication by a factor of 100 for KRW balances.

Althoguh there were no errors in BCS configuration or tables, nobody noticed until we collected the data in BCS.
