Define translation ratios for currency translation in SAP S4 HANA

How to Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation in SAP

After maintaining the standard quotation and exchange rate types, the next configuration step is to define the translation ratios for the currency transactions for each exchange rate type.

Please Note: You shouldn’t change the translation ratios in the middle of the project. Everything should be configured at the initial stage before the project goes online.

In our scenario, the client is newly implemented the project and dealing with customers/vendors that are located in various USA & UK. So based on this scenario, we are going to maintain the following translation ratios

Exchange Rate Type From To Valid From Ratio (from) Ratio (to)
G USD INR 01.01.2020 1 1
B USD INR 01.01.2020 1 1
M USD INR 01.01.2020 1 1
G EUR INR 01.01.2020 1 1
B EUR INR 01.01.2020 1 1
M EUR INR 01.01.2020 1 1

Based on the ratio that you define in the SAP system, the exchange rates are getting translated.

Configuration Steps:

  • IMG Path: SIMG > ABAP Platform > General Settings > Currencies > Define translation Ratio for currency translation
  • Transaction Code: OBBS

Step 1: Execute the t-code “SIMG” in the SAP command field and enter to continue

Step 2: Follow the IMG Menu Path, ABAP Platform > General Settings > Currencies and execute the IMG activity  “Define Translation ratio for currency translation”

Step 3:  Click on “Yes” to continue to update translation ratios.

Step 4: On change view “Currencies: Translation ratios” overview screen, click on new entries

Step 4: On new entry screen, update the following details

Click on save button and save the configured details on the SAP S4 Hana system.

Note: It is a one time activity, if you are already defined the currency translation ratio, you will get an error as “An entry already exists with the same key”
