Currency amounts from stock valuation, invoice verification, material cost estimates, and order settlement are translated into the other currencies in the respective areas and updated in SAP Material Ledger as shown below.
Amount is translated into the currencies managed in SAP Material Ledger at the current exchange rate. In standard SAP, exchange rate differences are calculated by comparing the exchange rates at goods receipt and invoice receipt. This can be changed through the Invoice Verification configuration menu.
Values are not translated in SAP Material Ledger, but transferred directly from the two currencies or valuations from SAP Material Ledger. The amount in the third currency is translated from the company code currency using the average rate.
Results are not translated in SAP Material Ledger, they are transferred directly from the standard cost estimate. The amount in the third currency is translated using the amount in the company code currency and the exchange rate at time of marking.
Note that the translation procedure mentioned above could cause some discrepancies on the price of a material from one currency to another over a period of time. You define how you would like translations to occur in the financial accounting configuration and you can choose whether translations should be made starting from the transaction currency (currency in which an individual document is generated in the system) or from the company code currency. The exchange rate type to be used can also be determined in this configuration, typically the average rate is used.
