Definition

The currency type is a key describing a currency with regard to:

  • Its role within the R/3 System
  • The valuation method with which the amount arose, if you use functions for parallel valuation.

Use

The currency type is required to be able to transfer amounts between different components of the R/3 System such as Financial Accounting and Controlling (using interfaces).
