Guidelines for Amount, Exchange Rate, and Currency Mode Fields for Batch Vouchers

Observe these guidelines to determine how to enter amounts, exchange rates, and currency modes for domestic and foreign transactions when processing batch vouchers in a multicurrency environment:

Type of Transaction	Description of Values for Multicurrency Fields
Domestic	If the currency code of the transaction (identified by the value in the Currency Code field, VLCRCD) is equal to the currency code of the company, the transaction is a domestic transaction. Enter the transaction amount in the Gross Amount field (VLAG) and enter D in the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM). Do not enter an exchange rate. If you are entering discount information, complete the Discount Available field (VLADSC). If you are entering tax information, complete the Taxable Amount (VLATXA), Non-Taxable Amount (VLATXN), and Tax Amount (VLSTAM) fields.
Foreign	If the currency code of the transaction (identified by the value in the Currency Code field, VLCRCD) is different from the currency code of the company, the transaction is a foreign transaction. Enter the transaction amount in the Currency Amount field (VLACR) and enter F in the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM). The system calculates the domestic amount based on the Exchange Rate field (VLCRR). If you are entering discount information, complete the Foreign Discount Available field (VLCDS). If you are entering tax information, complete the Foreign Taxable Amount (VLCTXA), Foreign Non-Taxable Amount (VLCTXN), and Foreign Tax Amount (VLCTAM) fields.
Domestic side of a foreign transaction	If the currency code of the transaction (as identified by the value in the Currency Code field, VLCRCD) is different from the currency code of the company, enter the domestic amount in the Gross Amount field (VLAG). Unlike a foreign transaction, you do not enter an amount in the Currency Amount field. Enter F in the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM). The system calculates the foreign amount based on the exchange rate (VLCRR). If you are entering discount information, complete the Foreign Discount Available field (VLCDS). If you are entering tax information, complete the Foreign Taxable Amount (VLCTXA), Foreign Non-Taxable Amount (VLCTXN), and Foreign Tax Amount (VLCTAM) fields.
Foreign and domestic transactions using currency mode 3	If you know both the foreign and domestic amounts, you can bypass system calculations. Enter the foreign currency amount in the Currency Amount field (VLACR) and enter the domestic currency amount in the Gross Amount field (VLAG). Enter 3 in the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM). You must complete the Exchange Rate field (VLCRR); however, the system does not validate the exchange rate against the amounts entered or against the F0015 table. Mode 3 does not calculate discounts and taxes. If the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM) is 3 and you want to process discounts, you must complete the discount information in the Discount Available field (VLADSC) and Foreign Discount Available field (VLCDS). The system does not calculate discounts based on the payment term. If the Currency Mode field (VLCRRM) is 3 and you want to process taxes, you must complete all tax fields. The system does not calculate tax amounts based on the Tax Rate/Area (VLTXA1) and Tax Explanation Code (VLEXR1) fields.
