Definition

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

  • Its role within the SAP 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 SAP system such as Financial Accounting and Controlling (using interfaces).
These are the currency types allowed for valuation, sorted lists and other closing operations.
