3557452 - Exchange rate for accounting is not updated properly

Symptom

When creating the billing document, the exchange rate for accounting in header level is not updated properly based on the billing date maintained in "Currency Exchange Rates" app.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

One of the possible causes is that the exchange rates are maintained under other types in the "Currency Exchange Rates" app. 

Resolution

Maintain the exchange rate under type M "Standard translation at average rate".

Other possible causes:

Exchange rate for FI postings (field VBRK-KURRF):

  • Specifies the currency exchange rate between document currency and local currency. When a billing document is posted to financial accounting, the system also forwards this exchange rate to enable subsequent processing.
  • Customer invoice
    If there is a manual entry in the sales order field VBKD-KURRF (Goto -> Header -> Accounting), then it is copied into VBRK-KURRF. Otherwise VBRK-KURRF is determined during invoice creation from the "Currency Exchange Rates" app according to the billing date. It is supposed that manual entry has higher priority. The exchange rate for Accounting (field VBRK-KURRF) is always determined with exchange rate type M, even though a different exchange rate type is maintained in the customer master record. It is possible to influence on VBRK-KURRF_DAT field in your own data transfer routine then assigned to copy control to get exchange rate for FI postings (field VBRK-KURRF) recalculated if document currency is not the same as local currency. 
  • Intercompany billing
    VBRK-KURRF is always redetermined.
    It is because sales order and intercompany invoice could have different local currency, so it doesn't make sense to copy the exchange rate.
