SAP Note 783877 - Currency translation: FAQ

Component : Currency translation / Expiring currencies -

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses FAQs about currency translation using TCUR* tables. It explains how exchange rates in TCURR relate to TCURF factors, necessary because rates in TCURR reference a record in factor table TCURF in a fixed numerical format. The system accesses these tables using a combined key of exchange rate type, from/to currencies, and date. Entries remain valid until updated. Handling variations is possible through customization in the TCURV table, which defines exchange rate settings. TCURR supports direct and indirect quotations; the method influences how table TCURF is accessed and vice-versa. Additionally, the note details operations with single-usage exchange rates during transactions, handling currencies with reference currencies different from the transaction currencies, and considerations for maintaining proper factors in TCURF to avoid overflow issues.
