Symptom
While posting a billing document, error F5718: Conversion factors for rate type & currency XX -> YY deviates from type "M" occurs in Manage Billing Documents app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
In SSCUI 102568 - Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation, the translation ratios/conversion factors for the currency pair under exchange rate type are missing or differ from those under rate type M. You can only use an alternative rate type if the conversion factors for that rate match the factors for all currencies with rate type M.
For example, if you use exchange rate type &, and the rates between currencies X and Y are specified as having a 100:1 ratio, but the ratio for rate type M is 1:1, you will get an error message when you try to post.
Resolution
In SSCUI 102568 - Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation, change the ratio for the alternative exchange rate type & to be the same ratio for exchange rate type M.
