Summary :
When using the SAP Material Ledger with active settings, discrepancies can occur between transaction currency values and parallel currency values during goods receipt postings for purchase orders. In cases where the purchase order currency matches a parallel currency managed in the material ledger, such as USD, system-generated postings will occur in three currencies: the transaction currency (USD), the local currency (euro), and the parallel currency (USD). However, the computation logic for these currencies varies, notably resulting in discrepancies in the transaction and parallel currencies. This divergence primarily affects inventory and GR/IR clearing postings, potentially leading to variances in price difference postings. The discrepancy stems from different valuation methods applied to transaction and parallel currencies, with only the latter accurately reflecting historical purchase order data. For accurate inventory valuation, focus solely on values in the parallel currency.

Key words :
usd local currency euro parallel currency managed, gr/ir clearing posting, local currency euro, purchase order currency corresponds, parallel currency managed, group currency usd, historical exchange rates, values correctly determined, price difference posting, purchase order history
