Entry Function: Entry in EURO 

Use

This function is only relevant during the dual currency phase of the changeover to the euro between 01/01/1999 and 01/01/2001.

If the changeover of the settlement currency to euro is not made during this time, all receipts will require the exchange rate of the foreign currency to the previous country currency. If, however, you want to enter a foreign currency receipt with euro as the foreign currency, you can use the function Entry in EURO to determine and use the correct exchange rate of the foreign currency to the previous country currency.

Prerequisites

The settlement currency in SAP R/3 Travel Management is not EUR but the previous country currency of the EMU country. You set up the travel expenses settlement currency in the Customizing for Travel Management, under Travel Expenses ® Dialog and Travel Expenses Control ® Dialog Control ® Store default values for dialog.

Features

The Entry in EURO function is available in the following Travel Expenses entry scenarios:

Example

A traveler in Great Britain, a country not participating in the European Monetary Union, exchanges DEM for GBP.

Using the Entry in EURO function, the system calculates the required exchange rate for DEM to GBP for you.
