Changing PO default currency using BADI

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I received a requirement to use the same currency in PO than was chosen in PR.

For example,

• a PO from PR created in USD should be in USD

• a PO from PR created in EUR should be in EUR

I am trying to do this using BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST but despite I assign the value of currency from PR in methods PROCESS-HEADER and PROCESS-ITEM the value is not changing. I checked trying to change any other field like "item text" for example and it works, so I guess I'm using the BADIs the right way.

Do you know any other way to do this o maybe the clue to this particular problem.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastián Ligueros

the currency in the PR is usually your home currency (from company code)

The currency in the PO is the currency that is maintained in vendor master.

A PR is generic can be assigned to a vendor in USA which has prices in USD, or to a vendor in Germany which has the prices in EUR, or to a vendor in England with GBP.

Do you really think that the vendor is lucky if create the PO in USD while the offered prices are in EUR.

I understand your point and that explains very much why SAP works the way it works. Nevertheless I solved the issue updating field waers using BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. At first I couldn't make it work because the field WAERS was set as "only visible". I changed it to "obligatory",

Thanks,
