SAP Note 19358 - Rebate paymt: Curr. transl. uses incorr. exch. rate

Symptom:

Payment using incorrect exchange rate. There may be two reasons:

• Exchange rate type 'M' is used to generate the rebate credit memo during the rebate payment although another exchange rate type is defined in the customer master record.

• Sales volumes are updated in local currency and must be translated into the currency of the rebate agreement. The translation is done using the validity end date of the bonus agreement. This is incorrect.

Cause and prerequisites

Not provided

Solution
The error is not yet completely corrected in the SAP Standard System. A temporary solution exists for problem 1. Problem 2 is solved in Release 4.0A.

With a modification, you can hard code the exchange rate type.
