hi there,

Does anyone has a good document explaining how PCM does currency conversion.

Can we convert to several target currencies in one model?

Regards.

Yes, (although not very detailed) see section 8.4.7 in the PCM user guide on http://help.sap.com/bopcm

Thank you Jef, but you are right the manual is not really detailled.

As far as i understand we can have only one target currency per model.

I need to find some time to test how to set the currency rates, the input and the output report.

If anyone has a model including this setting , please share the xml file or simple screenshot..

Hi,

Monetary data is handled by storing data in numeric fields. PCM handles multiple currencies, and can convert between currencies instantly according to local preferences.

Stored monetary data is also assigned to a currency, so the system is aware of the currency that each value represents. The application also automatically handles consolidation of data in different currencies.

There are no limits imposed on the number of currencies that the application can handle. Design of the model to take advantage of versions and periods allows hedging calculations to be implemented.

Hi,

currency rate are loaded as currencyrate. BE careful though, it applies for a version/period combinations, not the date of the record.

As for report, currency is a dimension that you can select like any other. What PCM cannot do is match a country with its local currency (well, you can do that, but with some rules AND the currency displayed will be a technical one).
