Hello Sree,

In my system, for the same values, this function is returning a error message in T_C_ERROS.

This function reads tables TCURV and TCURF (Factor conversion).

Problably the problem is that you don´t have a conversion rate in table TCURF for this parameters.

If you debug the function, you will find wich table is missed.

I don´t have knowledge on how to maintain this tables and what this maintanace could affect.

I think that an FI functional person could help you on how to maintain it.

Regards,

Mauricio

Hi,

Try the below code.

REPORT zc1_currency_conversion .

DATA: loc_umsa1 LIKE kna1-umsa1.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_AMOUNT_TO_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING

foreign_currency = 'CAD'

foreign_amount = 450

local_currency = 'USD'

IMPORTING

local_amount = loc_umsa1

EXCEPTIONS

error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

WRITE:/ 'Converted amount is:' , loc_umsa1.

ELSE.

WRITE:/ 'Error in conversion'.

ENDIF.

Incase the funtion module is workign properly,

Try these modules,

CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY or CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY.

Hope this will be helpful.

Cheers

Hi,

I see that there are lots of FM that converts a currency from one to another.

I need a Method inside a abap class that do the same!

Any clue where to search for this (i don't what to use FM.)?
