Billing to be done in multiple currencies for single customer

[Former Member]

We have single customer XXX for multiple project. so we required to do our billing to be in USD & JPY currencies both – would this be possible or we need to create a new custome with JPY currency for this.

Single customer, two different project and two different Sales order with two difference currencies.

laxmi,

Could you please elaborate on the reason why for the same customer, two different currencies are to be used?

(what is the difference between the two projects?)

Apart from what already been suggest, you can use different sales area to differentiate customer currency at customer master. As whatever, customer currency you maintain in customer master-sales data, that becomes the base for your document currency.

No doubt, as suggested by Lakshmipathi Sir

 you need to change the condition record simultaneously as otherwise, system will consider the currency from condition record if you check in condition tab of sale order.

condition record currency is really a crucial factor, which generally overlooked during conceptualize these kind of requirement.

With best wishes for new year 2013,

Jyoti,

I think your post is full of learning!

When you suggest using a different sales area, which element (VKORG or VTWEG or SPART) would you propose / think of changing (to create a new sales area)?

Side comment: When a new sales area is created, the necessary action in order to create valid condition records also has to be taken in to consideration.

Furthermore, from configuration point of view too, extra work has to be done e.g. Sales area assigned to Sales document type (t-code OVAZ)

When you say "these kind of requirement", could you please elaborate (give examples) of requirements?

Thank you, in advance!

It is not enough to change the document currency in sale order but also, you need to change the condition record simultaneously as otherwise, system will consider the currency from condition record if you check in condition tab of sale order.

Hi Sir,

      i have Observed that if we are changing the currency at the Header Level the Currency at conditions level is also changing along with Net Value.

G Lakshmipathi,

Based on my tests, I agree with siva vasireddy.

Just changing VBAK-WAERK would be sufficient.

Could you please explain why it would not be enough?

VBAK-WAERK is USD. Even if condition record has JYP; in the sales order in Tab Condition the currency and the value would be changed to USD (for final caculation; also in field WAERK).

As siva vasireddy has commented, the Net value would also be in USD (not in JYP).

Thus in my opinion, just changing VBAK-WAERK would be sufficient.

I have tested after your comments and below are the outcome.

Document Currency  GBP

Customer Currency   GBP

Condition record       USD

Sale order shows condition record currency against PR00 under the tab "Crcy" and accordingly the value has been converted based on the exchange rates maintained.

G Lakshmipathi,

Thus (the remark by siva), in the sales order, at header level change the currency (VBAK-WAERK) would be sufficient to meet this business requirement (irrespective of the currency of the condition record).

Would you agree with the above?

E.g.

Customer Currency: ARS

Requirement: Sales order currency should be GBP,

Action by user: In VA01, change VBAK-WAERK from ARS to GBP (Document Currency  GBP)

Condition record: USD (or any other currency does not matter)

(again the same question) Would the above action (by user) be sufficient?

Hi,

   you can change the Currency in the sale order itself for the same customer.
