Definition

In the standard SAP System, only the amounts in controlling area currency are taken into account in assessment/distribution. By flagging the relevant field groups, you choose whether the following currencies are also processed, with differing effects depending on the currency.

  1. Object currency
    Sender values in object currency are computed separately and distributed in separate fields. This only functions when the object currency of all the affected objects (cost centers, orders...) is the same, since no translation between object currencies takes place during processing. For example, it is not possible for a sender to distribute to receivers with a different object currency. If this occurs during processing, a warning message is displayed and the SAP System processes the object currency as if you had not flagged the indicator.
    If the indicator is not set, the object currency to be posted is determined from the controlling area currency by translation to the object currency of the sender or receiver when the sender credit and receiver debit are posted.
  2. Transaction currency
    The posted sender values in the transaction currency are computed separately, processed internally, and updated to the receiver in the posted transaction currency.
    If you do not set the indicator, all the sender values in different transaction currencies are grouped together since only the controlling area currency is recorded. The debits and credits from the distribution are posted in the controlling area currency.
    If you want to display the amounts posted by the sender separately in receiver, you should enter an "X" in this field group. This procedure creates considerably more totals records and line items.
    Example: The controlling area currency is USD. Sender A distributes 50% each to receivers B and C. On sender A, the posted values are recorded in the transaction currencies DEM and CHF: DEM = 1000, CHF = 2000. If you flag the transaction currency field group, receivers B and C are charged with transaction currency amounts of DEM 500 and CHF 1000. Sender A is credited with the corresponding amounts. A total of 6 line items are posted for the distribution. If you do not flag the field group, both sender values are combined, so that you obtain a total for example of USD 2200. This results in a debit postings of USD 1100 each to B and C. This amount is charged in the transaction currency USD. The sender is credited with USD 2200. A total of 3 line items are posted.
  3. Consumption
    If you flag this field, the posted consumption quantities are distributed as well, provided the quantities on all the senders are fully maintained. If this is not the case in a sender, you receive a warning message and the quantity is not distributed.

Note

The object currency and transaction currency field groups are updated separately if you set the "All currencies" indicator for the controlling area. If the indicator is not set, the field groups are not displayed in this screen.
