2354911 - Wrong Currency is Showing for Settlement Amount in the Expense Report

Symptom

Settlement Amount is showing the wrong currency while you are creating an Expense Report.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Travel And Expense work center.
  2. Click New and choose Expense Report on Behalf.
  3. Enter the employee ID and all other mandatory data.
  4.  Navigate to step 2- Expenses and enter the required details.

Here you can see that the Settlement Amount is showing in XXX currency instead of YYY.

Cause

The reason is due to the currency of the country the respective employee is hired to.

For Example: An Employee 123 was hired in Country USA, but is assigned to an organization unit located in India. Result: The Expense Report Settlement Amount for the employee appears in USD not in INR, which is the standard behavior of the system.

 

Resolution

The settlement currency is being derived from the local currency of the hired country instead of the local currency of the country in the organization unit.

  1. Go to Personnel Administration work center.
  2. Select Employees view.
  3. Search for Employee ID and check the Country column. (Note that the Country column is hidden per default. It can be displayed through the Personalize menu, at the top of the screen.)
