SAP中Exchange rate type EURX到底干嘛用的

SAP中Exchange rate type EURX到底干嘛用的？
网上找了半天，发现百度什么都语焉不详。在sap note发现一个note解释很清楚。
简单说，就是针对2000年左右欧元实施的时候，把原来非欧元国家货币对欧元国家货币，比如USD:FRF 美元对法郎，因为这个法郎不再是法定货币，现在是EUR欧元 ，但是原来设定的兑换设计类型MM，SD的事务还存在。那么就是引入 Alternative Exchange rate type EURX。
设计USD对EUR，EUR对FRF的EURX来转换。

123819 - Exchange rate type EURX in Releases as of 4.0A


Solution

Current information:

If you start production operation with Release 4.6, the new 'Exchange rate entered at indirect quotation' function requires that you make some changes in Euro currency Customizing, which are described in detail in Note 169631 'Currency Customizing for euro on Release 4.6'.

For more detailed information on the 'Exchange rate entered at indirect quotation' refer to Note 150103 'Extent and effects of the indirect quotation'.

 

 

The following description is relevant for Release 4.0A and higher. See also Note 77984.

In particular, consider Note 120420

(collective note for Customizing of the currency tables). This note contains information as to which note has answers to detail questions for the currency Customizing.

 

1.) Participating and non-participating currencies

 

If a company maintains business relationships with third countries

(states which do not participate in the European Monetary Union), there are two options, to represent the currency translations for these business transactions by configuring the currency tables.

These are described below.

• You can maintain relations between participating/non-participating currencies, (for example USD-DEM ) and maintain the respective exchange rates the same way as before.
  Here, you enter the direct exchange rates between the non-participating currency and the participating currency as before.
  Some of the non-participating states will want to use this alternative option.
  Since these exchange rates, (for example USD-DEM), no longer exist officially, you have to determine this exchange rate from the fixed exchange rates and the exchange rate of the non-participating currency to EUR.
  Many banks will supply these exchange rates as a service.
  Legally this option is still allowed.
• A second alternative consists of setting up an additional exchange rate type 'EURX'. This uses the reference currency EUR. Note the following procedure:

a) First create a new exchange rate type EURX, for processing a currency translation for business transactions between a non-participating and a participating currency.

b) Every currency combination affected, for example USD to DEM, must be converted to the new calculation method. These currency combinations which up to now have been maintained in the R/3 System with exchange
