If items have already been specified in the purchasing document, the price per purchase order price unit is not changed if the currency and/or the exchange rate is changed in the document header (this also applies to the creation of POs with reference to a requisition).
Example: Item 10 DM per 1 pc.
Currency changed from DEM to USD with exchange rate 2
Expected value in item: 5 USD per 1 pc.
Displayed value in item: 10 USD per 1 pc.
Design decision: Were the purchase order price to be translated, in the event that the currency were entered wrongly, precisely this system behavior would be undesired.
SolutionInitiate price conversion explicitly: Select item and then:
"Item -> Conditions -> New price determination". After entry of the value (which has been manually converted into the equivalent value in the relevant currency), the price determination process is carried out.
A further possibility is to create info records (material/ vendor) in the required currency. However, this only helps in the creation of a PO - not with regard to changes.
