Check the FMs documentation if you haven't yet.

Translate foreign currency amount to local currency

An amount in local currency is calculated from a specified foreign currency amount. For this, 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. Because the ratios for the units of the currencies involved in the translation are significant for this translation, table TCURF is always read by the program, and there must be a valid entry there for the data specified. IF exchange rate fixing is defined for the exchange rate type TYPE_OF_RATE or an alternative exchange rate 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.

Hi,

Foreign amount is the amount that you want to convert to your local currency.

Foreign currency is the currency that you want to convert to local currency.

There is a good documentation on this. Check the below functionmodule documentation.

Translate foreign currency amount to local currency

For this, 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.

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.

Sample call-up:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'

EXPORTING DATE = BKPF-WWERT

FOREIGN_CURRENCY = BKPF-WAERS

LOCAL_CURRENCY = T001-WAERS

FOREIGN_AMOUNT = BSEG-WRBTR

RATE = BKPF-KURSF

TYPE_OF_RATE = 'M'

IMPORTING EXCHANGE_RATE = KURS

LOCAL_AMOUNT = BSEG-DMBTR

FOREIGN_FACTOR = FAKTOR-F

LOCAL_FACTOR = FAKTOR-L

FIXED_RATE = FIXKURS

EXCEPTIONS NO_RATE_FOUND = 4

NO_FACTORS_FOUND = 8.

<b>Foreign curr means ????</b>

The currency to which your amount is going to be coverted.

<b>Foreign amount means????</b>

The amount you want to convert...

For example...

 CLIENT                          800          
 DATE                            20.06.1003   
 FOREIGN_AMOUNT                  565          
 FOREIGN_CURRENCY                USD          
 LOCAL_CURRENCY                  PEN          
 RATE                            0            
 TYPE_OF_RATE                    M            
 READ_TCURR                      X

Hi Singh,
