Symptom
While creating a Purchase Order, the subjected error is triggered.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Navigate to New Purchase Order in common tasks.
- Enter all necessary details (where supplier's currency is XXX and company's currency is YYY).
- Click on Check button. Error is raised.
(XXX and YYY stands for the currency acronym)
Cause
No exchange rate was maintained between currencies XXX and YYY for Rate Type Z.
(Z stands for the Exchange Rate Type)
If Ship-to address is different from company's address, then Ship-to country's currency is considered as currency YYY, as tax calculation is based on the Delivery address which in turn decides tax country. Thus this error is raised by the Tax Calculation.
Resolution
To maintain the exchange rate between currencies XXX and YYY for Rate Type Z follow the below steps:
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Select Implementation Projects.
- Open Activity List.
- Navigate to Fine Tuning.
- Search forActivity Tax on Goods and Services.
- Then select Currency Conversion Type.
Here the country of company A whose currency is YYY, exchange rate type has been maintained as Z.
(A stands for the Company ID)
- Go to General Ledger work center.
- Select Edit Exchange Rates in common tasks.
It is noted that in for Rate Type Z there is no entry against the currencies XXX and YYY maintained.
It is necessary to either maintain the desired exchange rate between currencies XXX and YYY for rate type Z or change this setting and make the rate type as default instead of Z.
Note: The Purchase orders created after maintaining the exchange rate only will consider the changed/newly created exchange rates automatically. However for the already created purchase orders apply a dummy change in the purchase order like mentioned below:
- Remove the quantity on one line item and then click on check button.
- Then re-enter the same quantity and then click on check button again (no error occurs).
- Click on order button.
