Problem with Exchange rate upload using BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_CREATE

kishorepallapothula — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:38:15 GMT

Dear Abaper,

I have a problem using BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_CREATE in my program.

I have a currency pair USD to VND (vietnam) which is 1 : 21025.

Bapi is not allowing the value more than four degits.

it will allow only 4 digits and 5 decimals eg : 9999.99999. How can i pass this value to the bapi. My functional consultant created a ratio 1 USD : 100 VND so i am doing 21025/100 and passing the value 210.25 to the BAPI, But bapi internally calculating again and its posting (210.25/100) = 2.1025 which is wrong.

Please halp me how to resolve the issue. <removed by moderator>

Thanks

Kishore P

I never used that BAPI yet, but its documentation describes a similar scenario for parameter EXCH_RATE... did you try to follow that?

They are talking about a relationship of 1 unit_A = 12173.8 unit_B, but it looks like this should cover the case you're describing.

Well, what I meant is this.

You have a scenario where 1 USD is worth 21025 VND.

The BAPI documentation describes the solution when 1 CUR_A is worth 12173.8 CUR_B. That is the same like yours, except the numbers are a bit different.

Following the solution in the BAPI documentation, you should be able to pass the necessary values to the FM... but as I said, I never used it myself, so you'll have to follow that description to see if this indeed will get the result you're after. It should.
