R: Legacy Currencies

What about deleting any exchange rate entry from F0015 via P00151 ?

I didn't test what I'm saying but, if I remember well, you get error
messages (that the user can't bypass) if you try to use a currency with no
exchange rate ...

For the historical purposes, this "solution" should have no impact.

Oggetto: Legacy Currencies

Now that the Euro is finally with us has anyone come up with a way to stop
the use of legacy currencies?

For example, how can we stop users issuing purchase orders or invoices in
DEM or FRF, as they should all now be in Euro? Because we obviously have
historic data in the system we cannot simply delete the old currency codes.

Any ideas welcomed!

Thanks Andreas

That may well be a possibility from 30 June when legacy currencies are finally dead, but over the new few weeks at least there will be the final processing of documents issued in legacy currencies prior to 01 January - these will need the values in F0015 to convert to Euros. I assume you will have some of these as well.

I'm not getting any suggestions from JDE either - it seems to be a final step in the Euro conversion process that has been overlooked. Ideally I'd like to see an expiry date on exchange rates.

Have you had any luck with this?

We also want to stop people using Legacy currencies but can't figure out how to :(

Thanks

No luck at all - and JDE have no plans to do anything.

We have thought of running a few queries to check for usage but have found no practical way to prevent it.

We have done some testing on this and found that you can add a new rate with
the effective date that is appropriate for the you (depending on your
conversion date) and a zero rate. When you try to create a JE with this
rate you will get a hard error. We also got a soft error when entering the
zero rate record, which is correct.

Treasure,

Nice to see someone at JDE is not only reading these posts, but actually doing something to help.

We still have some legacy currencies going through (we are running a heavily modified CUM4 so have had an *interesting* time), but when they have all gone through I will try what you have sugested.

Many thanks
