I was trying to convert EUR to CHF from a purchase order and I'm currently having a brain fog.

The Exchange rate is 1.08085 as seen in ME23N.However, I'm not sure if I would divide or multiply the EUR with the exchange rate so I'm trying it with the function module CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY. However, no values were returned upon trying in SE37.

         CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
           EXPORTING
*            CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
             date                    = sy-datum
             foreign_amount          = 73.72
             foreign_currency        = EUR
             local_currency          = CHF
             RATE                    = 1.08085
*            TYPE_OF_RATE            = 'M'
*            READ_TCURR              = 'X'
*          IMPORTING
*            EXCHANGE_RATE           =
*            FOREIGN_FACTOR          =
*            LOCAL_AMOUNT            =
*            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
                   .
         IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
         ENDIF.

Invalid code. You must indicate quotes for decimal number literals (and text literals too, of course), and indicate a variable for the exporting parameters. Did you try only in SE37, or in ABAP program. I advise to always test in ABAP program, especially when SE37 doesn't work.

         CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY'
           EXPORTING
             date             = sy-datum
             foreign_amount   = '73.72'
             foreign_currency = 'EUR'
             local_currency   = 'CHF'
             RATE             = '1.08085'
             ...
           IMPORTING
             LOCAL_AMOUNT     = local_amount.
