Documentation

Definition

So that the currency amount can be converted between the internal and external data formats a currency must be specified.

A parameter name can be entered here. An import parameter with this name is added to the generated function module. When the function module is called the currency key (SAP code, not ISO code) must be assigned to this parameter.

At runtime the currency key is read from this parameter and used for converting the currency amount.

You can only enter data in the field if a currency amount exists.
