How LN handles purchase order/schedule ratesBecause IFRS requires that all relevant costs be reflected in inventory, the purchase of goods must be valued against the rate at which the goods were purchased or paid. This applies to all actual costing valuation methods, including the FTP valuation method. Financial transactions created by purchase orders or schedules that impact invoice accrual ( Accounts Payable), are posted with purchase order/schedule rate data for both the debit and the credit side of the transaction. This applies when the rate determiner of the purchase order is set to Fixed or Manually Entered. Otherwise, the interim account of the financial transaction is posted with the exchange rate type of the purchase order. LN uses the exchange rate type to retrieve the rate data that was valid on the transaction date. Important! To have LN take the purchase rate into account, ensure that in the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session, on the Pricing tab, the Use Purchase Rates for Receipts check box is selected. As a result, the corresponding check box will also be selected in the following sessions:
The Use Purchase Rates for Receipts setting applies to various purchase order and purchase schedule integration document types. The interim account of these integration document types is (partially) booked against purchase order rate data. Which rate data LN uses, depends on the rate determiner.
The rates defined on the purchase order that apply to the accrual side of the transaction (order currency and financial company purchase office) are used for the interim account of the transaction as well. In a multicompany environment, the financial company of the interim account can be different from the financial company of the purchase office. As a result, the rates on the purchase order cannot be directly used: the fixed or manually entered rates must first be converted. If the currency rate is fixed or manually entered on the purchase order header, the currency system determines the currencies between which the fixed or manually entered rate is defined, and how the rate can be used for the interim account of the transaction.
