Currency conversion is necessary if a transaction currency expires, for example, due to the replacement of the national currency by the euro after joining the European Monetary Union. During billing, amounts in expired currencies can be automatically converted to amounts in the replacement currency.
Currency conversion in SAP CRM billing takes place if a sales or service transaction was created in a transaction currency that has expired (is no longer a legal means of exchange) on the billing document creation date.
Note
Conversion is not supported during claims settlement or rebate settlement. For rebate processing, you overwrite the expired currency with the replacement currency in the rebate agreement.
You have activated the business function Sales and Service (CRM_SLS_SRV_1
).
To set up expired currency conversion, you need to make the following settings in SAP CRM Customizing:
Activate the billing feature Conversion of Expired Currency
in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management
, under .
Define expiry dates, reasons, and replacement currencies in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver, under
.To enable an expiry date for billing (Error fr.
field), you need to assign an expiry reason to the object type CRM Billing Document
(BUS20810
) in the activity Define Warning and Error
Dates
. To enable an expiry date for rebate settlement, you need to assign an expiry reason to the object type CRM Rebate Settlement
(BUS20830
).
Conversion during billing takes place as follows:
After the expiry date, relevant billing documents are automatically created in the replacement currency.
Accounting documents are created in the replacement currency.
The original sales or service transaction remains in the old currency.
Note
You cannot cancel billing documents and rebate settlement documents that use an expired currency.
You cannot reject business transactions that use an expired currency.
