Currency Conversion Error

Former Member — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:24:03 GMT

In one of my report for Foreign Currency Conversion I am using the FM 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'

The foreign Currency value is 19,120 but in debugging it is shown as 191.20 but finally displaying in the output as 19,120.

After converting, Local currency calculated is shown as 47397 in debugging whereas it should be 473.97 and is displayed in the output as 474.

Please suggest any possible solution to avoid the rounding of the last digits.

Hi Marina,

I understand your problem.

The problem over here is the data type which is for the local and foriegn are different and hence you are facing the problem.

Please give the same data type you would get the correct output.

Hi marina,

in this FM 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY' is correct . in your case you have :

CLIENT

DATE

FOREIGN_AMOUNT

FOREIGN_CURRENCY

LOCAL_CURRENCY

RATE

TYPE_OF_RATE

READ_TCURR

as import parmaters.

Type of rate M=Average rate G=Bank buying rate B=bank selling rate rate.

check the long text inside the function module -> import parameters.. then set the value accoriding to that.

regards,

safel
