Translati on of Currenc SCUR y CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_ Amount CURRENCY s etc.

All the currency amounts are stored in SAP tables as CURR(n,2) (the same as DEC(n,2)). So before any arithmetic operation value should be adjusted using the real decimals number for the given currency (stored in TCURX). Conversion Rates by type and date are stored in TCURR (+factors). Standard type is M. Date is stored in inverted format (the most recent date has the numerically smallest value). ABAP code to convert dates: o convert date p_date into inverted-date w_date. o convert inverted-date w_date into date p_date. the only difference between CONVERT_TO_LOCA L_CURRENCY and CONVERT_TO_FORE IGN_CURRENCY seems to be the following: o Foreign currency is TCURRFCURR (From Currency) o Local Currency is TCURRTCURR (To Currency) So result will be

Both CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY and CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY use complicated logic considering contents of the TCURX (Decimal Places in Currencies), TCURR (Exchange Rates), TCURF (Conversion Factors) and other tables, conversion rules etc. Often functions return error message if information in the tables is inconsistent or not maintained. To simple currency conversion can be used direct calculation based on the tables TCURR and TCURX. See also BAPIs:

Currency (since 4.0A) - to get currencies and decimals ExchangeRate (since 4.5A) - to get exchange rates and factors for a date 1. convert an amount into words 2. convert a number into words (CURRENCY=space) 3. set decimal point in an amount and return number of decimals for the currency (LANGUAGE=space)
