Hi,

During CAT7 cost calculation happens based on the hourly rate maintained for the cost centre / activity type combination. This rate is maintained in KP26 transaction. In there, normaly, we can have the values maintained either in object currency / controlling area currency. System does conversion based on the exchange rate type that is maintained in your version used for cost planning. Hope this helps.

Dear Sreekanth,

thanks for your feedback. I checked that actual verison used for price updating (activity/cost center), version 0, has setted only fyscal year 1950, so for current year (2011) I would have expected error message for fiscal year not inserted, while it seems that onother exchange rate is used, linked to other version. How is it possible?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Normally if the current year rates are not maintained then system will take which is the next available. If you are using Newtork Costing then check the costing / valuation variant which is defined for that. In that variant we have an option to choose a different version (if needed). Once you identidfy your version, then in OKEQ you have to check what is the exchange rate type maintained for that version. System will use that exchange rate type with latest available rate.
