2813867 - Exchange rate is unclear for Actual Costs in App Revenue Recognition & Review Customer Projects

Symptom

You find the total Actual Costs values in App Revenue Recognition (Event-Based) - Projects and App Review Customer Projects. The exchange rate between 2 currencies is not easy to understand.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

Check the total Actual Costs values in App Revenue Recognition (Event-Based) - Projects and App Review Customer Projects.

Cause

The total Actual Costs field shows the sum value for all the Actual Costs happened on the project. Different exchange rates may be used since the actual postings happened on different dates. It's not correct to compare total Actual Costs between currencies, since the values were calculated with mixed exchange rate.
It's also explained in Page 126 of Revenue Recognition Cookbook:

For revenue recognition, the system takes the exchange rate
at project creation date.

Resolution

You should analyze exchange rate on posting level, not on total value.

If the project is set to "Completed" and if you execute Revenue Recognition for the project, the system will balance the values in different currencies.
