The next step in this activity is to look at how to specify a maximum exchange rate in SAP ERP.<br />

Define a Maximum Exchange Rate Difference<br />

In SAP R/3, it’s possible to set a maximum exchange rate difference for each type of foreign currency.<br />

This setting specifies the maximum exchange rate deviation allowed between foreign currency and local<br />

currency, in percentage terms. Maximum exchange rate differences are performed at the company code<br />

level and are therefore company code dependent.<br />

When you enter a foreign currency manually into the system and specify the appropriate exchange<br />

rate in the document header, the system will perform a validation check for the exchange rate difference,<br />

calculate the percentage exchange rate deviation, and compare it to the defined maximum exchange rate<br />

difference. If the exchange rate difference exceeds the maximum exchange rate difference you defined, the<br />

system will issue a warning. This measure ensures that any errors are identified and rectified early.<br />

For example, if 10% is specified as the maximum exchange rate difference, when the exchange rate<br />

exceeds this specified rate, the system will automatically identify this problem and issue a warning message.<br />

Figure 6-5 illustrates how the system performs checks in SAP ERP using a flowchart.<br />
