Hi Raj,

The need is that,

As per my knowledge

the currency and Quantity depends on the configuration.

Currency depends on the country you are specifying..

Both will have the pre-defined formats to display and to calculate, hence u need to use the reference fields.

If any one gives more info, I am thank full to them.

Regards,

Sreenivasulu Nallani.

HI,

When u enter the AMOUNT, the CURRENCY must be given. For example, if u give 1000 for amount, but it should know whether it refers to Rupees or Doller or Pound. So for CURR, the CUKY(Currecy Key) must be given.

Similary, when you enter a QUANTITY, say 1000, we should specify the UNIT for this. Whether it refers to METRE, or CENTIMETRE or any other unit. So, for QUAN, we should specify the UNIT in the Currency/Quantity field.

Reward points if useful

Cheers,

Shanthi

Hi,

By using there is no need to do check whether for any currency decimals or not, it will display basing on th curreney fiedl.

You want to display 1000.00 in different currencies

For Example

KWD : It will display as 100.000 "For KWD there are three decimals by default it will take care. Similarly for JPY

JPY : It will display as 100000. For JPY there are no decimals.

For QUAN.

Conversions will be taken care by system itself.

Thanks,

Sriram Ponna.

When you say quantity is 100, what it refers to - 100 pc, 100 bundles or 100 kg or 100 metres??? The unit of qty defines whether it is PC, KG, M etc...

In the DB, SAP stores all amount values with 2 decimal places. But when SAP reads it, it interprets it based on the currency associated with the amount field.

Try the FM BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_EXTERNAL. Pass the amount obtained from DB and the currency. This will give you back the actual interpreted value.

Check the TCURX table for the currencies with other than 2 decimal places.

Hope this helps.

Reward points for all helpful answers.

Thanks,
