Symptom
- For a supplier invoice without PO posted with X amount GHS, the derived Group Currency amount is P amount USD.
- Expected Group Currency amount is approximately Y USD based on maintained exchange rates.
- Configuration context: Group Currency USD (Currency Type 30) derived from Company Code Currency (Type 10) with exchange rate type M
- Application area: Manage Supplier Invoices.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition ;
- Fiori UI for Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Open the Manage Supplier Invoices app.
- Create a supplier invoice without purchase order for a company code where the company code currency is GHS and the group currency is USD.
- Post the invoice with an amount of GHS X.
- Observe the Group Currency amount in USD: USD Y instead of approximately USD P.
- Note configuration: Currency Type 30 = USD with source currency type 10 and exchange rate type M.
Cause
- Group currency conversion follows the path: company code currency (GHS) → group currency (USD) using exchange rate type M and the quotation method configured for the currency pair.
- The maintained value is a “multiply” kind of number but is stored/treated with a “divide” quotation.
- Due to this mismatch, the system divides the GHS amount instead of multiplying, producing an excessively large USD amount (P USD instead of Y USD).
- Currency Type 30 (USD) is derived from Currency Type 10 (company code currency), so the misquoted rate directly impacts the group currency amount.
Resolution
- Verify the intended financial rate and the current exchange rate entries for the GHS↔USD pair: value, quotation method (direct/indirect), and conversion factors in the Currency Exchange Rates app.
- If exchange rates are loaded from an external feed, correct the feed/source so a manual fix is not overwritten on the next load.
- Align the rate value with its quotation method:
- If the system warns that the newly entered rate conflicts with the standard quotation setting, reconcile the rate and the quotation setting so they match; do not ignore the warning.
- Identify documents posted with the incorrect group currency amounts; reverse and re-post them after correcting the exchange rate, using the appropriate posting dates as guided by Finance.
