Currency conversion in Central Invoice Management

[BrittM]

We try to process an invoice in SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management, with a currency other than the company code currency.

Company code currency: EUR
Invoice currency: USD

The exchange rates are maintained in the S4 Public Cloud System.
The Currency Exchange Rate Parameter file is imported in CIM. (Not sure if this is necessary?)

When we try to submit the invoice in CIM we get the next error: "An error occurred during currency conversion. Please check if the required configuration is maintained."

When we click first "extensive edit" and only then try to submit (which is actually in the S4 system), the invoice gets posted.

Can someone inform why the error in CIM is raised and how we can solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Britt,

Since Nov 15 you can replicate the exchange rates from S/4 to CIM. I suppose the system is expecting that you do that when it refers to missing configuration. 

See the latest setup guide for the 4N6 scope item and refer to 10.4.1.1.6.6 Configure Distribution Model in SAP Master Data Orchestration for Exchange Rate.

Did you set up this replication?

Best,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen

Hi Jeroen Thank you for your reply. We have not set up this replication. We will do so and test again. Thanks a lot!

Hi Jeroen, The booster run should have already configured it. Still the same currency conversion error occurs.

hi all, 

Yes, the latest booster will setup the currency synchronization. I found MDI reporting an error because the default delivery for new S/4 Cloud systems contains ex rate defined with a valid from date 01.01.1798. 

Very strange date for SAP to choose. But if you delete them all from the S/4 Cloud and add ex rates with valid from after 01.01.1979 or later the error is gone and ex rates get synced just fine.

hope this helps, good luck!
