exchange rate

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding exchange rate type. I receive a request from my business user to have the possibility to manage a kind of exchange rate different by brand/products across europe

I was wondering if it is possible to set it in sap.

Do you know also how I can manage an exchange rate between multiple currency, for example Eur to GBP to Zloty?

Thanks in advance for your help

Use Tcode OB08 - maintain the exchange rate

So, maintain exchange rate (based on user requirement) with relevant Exchange rate type and currency.

Exchange rate type is key under which you define exchange rates in the system.

Its is use to define different exchange rates you must specify exchange rate types. For instance, you can use the exchange rate type to define a bank buying and selling rate and an average rate for the translation of foreign currency amounts. You can use the average rate for foreign currency translation, and the buying and selling rates for the valuation of foreign currency amounts. The following are the different type of Exchange rate type

100* -Reference value = group value

1001 -Current exchange rate

1002 -Average exchange rate

1003 -Historical exchange rate

1004 -Current exch. rate prior year

200* Reference value = group value

2001 -Current exchange rate

2002 -Average exchange rate

2003 -Historical exchange rate

2004 -Current exch. rate prior year

B -Standard translation at bk.selling rate

EURO -EMU regulation, fixed exchange rates

EURX -EMU regulation, variable exchange rates

G -Standard translation at bank buying rate

I Intrastat exchange rate type

M - Standard translation at average rate (generally preferred by sales guys)

P -Standard translation for cost planning

Thanks & Regards
