Negative Exchange rate

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the FM u201C READ_EXCHANGE_RATEu201D

if we convert AUD to USD we get = 0.8290 exchange rate

and for USD to AUD we get = -0.8290 exchange rate.

So why there is negative exchange rate and error in rates.

Hi,

This FM finds the exchange rates basesd on the exchange rates maintained in tables TCURR,TCURN and TCURF .

The conversion is correct and regarding the '_' sign , if you are inveting the conversion it puts a negative sign .

Hi

The negative sign of rate between two currency A and B means A has a value bigger than B.

So if B is 0,8 A the rate between A and B is stored -0,8, than rate between B and A will be 0,8.
