Transaction currency in BAPI BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Iam using table COVP to sum up the value in transaction currency, corresponding to

a cost element group. I mean for all the cost elements that fall in the cost element group,

Iam getting the value from COVP and then summing up.

Now, Iam trying to post the summarised value using BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST.

What exactly should i give as the currency key in table 'CURRENCYAMOUNT' (Table passed to BAPI)

Hi nsp nsp,

this may be a consulting issue: All postings you collect from COVP were converted to local (company code or account) currency when posted. That means summing up transaction currencies may be not quite right especially for high-inflation currencies like i.e. Turkish Lira.

This is the first issue.

The second, currency for posting the summarised value, depends on the business scenario. What are the accounts involved in your postings? Are they General Ledger accounts? Do you use parallel accounting technique?

The decision should be according to the expected target values; possibly you have to do currency conversion.

Yes they are general ledger accounts.

Iam not aware of the techniques you have mentioned.

Which currency conversion should I do?

Hi nsp nsp,

I don't know the scenario at all.

I suppose you should get the cost amounts in local curremcy and post it to general ledger in local curremcy.

Please discuss it with functionals.
