FX Transaction: One Currency to be Converted

Function

When a transaction only involves one currency that needs to be converted, the system takes the rate notation for the currency pair from the leading/following currency table (TCURR).

If you want to change over a USD/DEM transaction, you enter EUR/USD in the leading currency table. This entry is used as the new notation for the currency pair. The system determines the transaction exchange rate (VTBFHAZU-KKURS).

If the spot rate and the swap rate also need to be calculated, this is done as follows:

In the original transaction in the old transaction currency, the system uses the spot rate to calculate the corresponding spot amount required for the new rate notation.
The system calculates the new spot rate (VTBFHAZU-KKASSA) from the ratio of this amount to the leading currency amount of the converted transaction.
The swap rate (VTBFHAZU-KSWAP) is the difference between the transaction exchange rate and the spot rate.
