Hi gurus,
I´ll try to simplify this strange issue affecting IDOCS, exchange rates and cost centers.
The problem is with a Sales interface through IDOCS.
We have discovered that inserting a cost center in the IDOC (for revenue P&L accounts), this is affecting the final values, when the FI journal is incoming with a document currency (i.e. EUR) different from the local one. (i.e. GBP)
How this can be? I mean: when we add a cost center to the P&L account (it has to go with cost center, because the account is also created as Cost element), the values in the local currency are not what expected, despite the IDOC file reflects the correct amount to post (in EUR and in GBP). But, when we delete the cost center, before processing the IDOC (in a given P&L account which is not cost element and does not require a cost center), the processing of the IDOC is perfect, and the amounts posted are just what is declared in the IDOC.
This perfomance is detected in IDOCS which are posted in document currency different from local currency. The difference is detected when they use cost centers, and it is in an item of the local currency, whereas the values for the document currency are perfect.
How this can happen??
Any hints on how to have the correct amounts using cost centers? I understand by correct, the amounts posted when there is no cost center in the IDOC. We need to use cost centers on those P&L accounts, but system does not post the exact amounts in both currencies (only in EUR), although the IDOC is sending the exact amounts to post: in EUR and in GBP. There is a change when posting, due to the cost center....
Please, any ideas on what to check or do?
Thanks in advance
