Hi

The difference between CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY and CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY is:

Foreign currency is TCURR-FCURR (From Currency)

Local Currency is TCURR-TCURR (To Currency)

So result will be slightly different for the both functions (two rates stored in the TCURR: e.g. JPY->USD rate is 0.00880, USD->JPY rate is 122.00000). Its better to use CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY, because multiplication is more exact operation than division.

Both conversion functions can return also selected rate and factors.

Thanks

hi

CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY" – This translates local currency amount into foreign currency.

An amount in foreign currency is calculated from a specified local currency amount. You may either specify the translation rate manually (Parameter RATE) or have the system determine it from table TCURR on the basis of the rate type, date and currency key. The ratios for the units of the currencies involved in the translation are significant for this translation, table TCURR is always read by the program and there must be a valid entry for the data specified. If exchange rate fixing is defined for exchange rate type TYPE_OF_RATE, or an alternative exchange rate type is defined for the currency pair, this information is transferred to the calling program.

When table TCURR is read, the foreign currency key is always taken as the first part of the key and the local currency as the second part. If this entry is not in the table, the key is re-read in reverse sequence.

Here’s a sample code:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING DATE = BKPF-WWERT

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = BKPF-WAERS

LOCAL_CURRENCY = T001-WAERS

LOCAL_AMOUNT = BSEG-DMBTR

RATE = BKPF-KURSF

TYPE_OF_RATE = 'M'

IMPORTING EXCHANGE_RATE = KURS

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = BSEG-WRBTR

FOREIGN_FACTOR = FAKTOR-F

LOCAL_FACTOR = FAKTOR-L

EXCEPTIONS NO_RATE_FOUND = 4

NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 8.

Try this also and use the following F.M's:

CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY - Converts local currency to foreign currency.

CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY - Converts from foreign currency to local currency

Code:

PARAMETERS: P_UKURS LIKE TCURR-UKURS.

DATA: BEGIN OF GI_TAB OCCURS 0,

KONWA LIKE KONP-KONWA,

STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

WAERS LIKE T001-WAERS,

END OF GI_TAB.

DATA: L_STPRS LIKE MBEW-STPRS,

L_RATE LIKE TCURR-UKURS.

IF P_UKURS IS INITIAL.

CLEAR L_RATE.

ELSE.

L_RATE = P_UKURS / 100.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING

DATE = SY-DATUM

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = GI_TAB-KONWA

LOCAL_AMOUNT = GI_TAB-STPRS

LOCAL_CURRENCY = GI_TAB-WAERS

RATE = L_RATE

IMPORTING

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = L_STPRS

EXCEPTIONS

NO_RATE_FOUND = 1

OVERFLOW = 2

NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 3

NO_SPREAD_FOUND = 4

DERIVED_2_TIMES = 5

OTHERS = 6.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING

DATE = SY-DATUM

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = L_BELOEB

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = 'JPY'

LOCAL_CURRENCY = 'DKK'

RATE = L_RATE

• TYPE_OF_RATE = 'M'

IMPORTING

EXCHANGE_RATE = L_RATE

• FOREIGN_FACTOR =

LOCAL_AMOUNT = L_BELOEB

• LOCAL_FACTOR =

• EXCHANGE_RATEX =

• FIXED_RATE =

• DERIVED_RATE_TYPE =

EXCEPTIONS

NO_RATE_FOUND = 1

OVERFLOW = 2

NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 3

NO_SPREAD_FOUND = 4

DERIVED_2_TIMES = 5

OTHERS = 6.

hope it will help you
