Incorrect Translation from Document Curreny to Local currency 2

Question:

The local currency is MYR and group currency as USD.


Document entered as MYR 4020 but the USD currency(LC2) translated to 3036.71 for
the month of April. The amount get converted based on 1.32 rate (document type =
KR).
in the OB08 the M rate maintained as MYR/USD = 4.07750 (Indirect quot) & USD/MYR =
4.07750 (Direct quot)
What is the cause of the incorrect translation rate?

Answer:

There could be different causes:


1. User manually entered exchange rate when posting.
2. in your printscreen I see that posting date is the same but exchange rate is
different. so it is probably calculated not from posting date. Please check
configuration of your Company code (transaction OB22) and check field Type of
Translation Date for LC2. and then check OB08 for correct dates.
3. Exchange rate was changed between postings (check change log for OB08, if it is
switched on).
4. Exotic one. Could be that you have configuration of Alternative exchange rate
type for M MYR USD (check transaction OBBS, be aware it is time dependant).
