Use
As a rule, only amounts in controlling area currency are used in periodic reposting, assessment and distribution. Moreover, you can choose other field groups that should also be included in processing. You can obtain different results according to field group used.
- Object currency
The SAP System calculates sender values in object currency separately and distributes them separately. This only works if the object currency of all the objects (for example, cost centers or orders) is the same, since no conversion between object currencies takes place during processing.
For example, it is not possible to distribute a sender value to a receiver with a different currency. If this type of error occurs during processing, a warning is issued and the SAP System processes the object currency as if the indicator is inactive.
If the indicator is inactive, the object currency being posted is determined from the controlling area currency by converting it to the object currency of the sender or receiver when the sender credit/ receiver debit is posted.
Example
- The controlling area currency is USD.
- Sender A distributes 50% each to receiver B and C.
- The posted values on sender A are in object currency:
- DEM 1000.00
- For receiver B and C, object currency DEM is also set.
If "Object currency" is activated, the following values result from sender A and receivers B and C:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
-1000 DEM * 500 DEM * 500 DEM *
If "Object currency" is activated, the SAP System updates the values in object currency beside the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If it is not active, the following values result:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
- 590 USD * 295 USD * 295 USD *
If "Object currency" is inactive, the SAP System only shows the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If receivers B and C have different object currencies than the sender currency, the SAP System ignores them and posts in CO area currency.
- Transaction currency
The posted sender values in transaction currency are calculated separately, processed internally, and posted to the receivers.
If the indicator is inactive, all the sender values in different transaction currencies are grouped together, since only the controlling area currency is recorded. The debits and credits from distribution are posted with the controlling area currency.
If you want to display the sender amounts separately on the receiver, you should mark this field group. However, this creates considerably more totals records and line items because of the double updating.
Example
The controlling area currency is USD.
Sender A distributes 50% each to receivers B and C.
Sender A posted values in transaction currency are:
If "Transaction currency" is selected, the following values result on sender A and receivers B and C:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
2000 CHF
-1000 DEM * 500 DEM * 500 DEM *
-2000 CHF * 1000 CHF * 1000 CHF *
If "Transaction currency" is activated, the transaction currencies of the posted sender values remain withe the receiver values. The SAP System posts six line items (*).
If it is not selected, the following values result:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
2000 CHF
-2200 USD * 1100 USD * 1100 USD *
If "Transaction currency" is inactive, the transaction currency of the sender values do not remain on the receiver values. The sender values are combined and posted in the controlling area currency USD. The SAP System posts three line items (*).
- Consumption
If you select this field group, the posted consumption quantities are also distributed. A preconditon is that quantities must be entered on all the senders. If a quantity is missing on a sender, the SAP System issues a warning and the quantity cannot be distributed.
Posting the consumption quantity is only applicable to distribution and periodic transfers.
In assessment it is possible to group cost elements with different consumption units. This means that consumption cannot be posted with assessment.
Note
To update object currency and transaction currency separately, you must activate the "All currencies" indicator in your controlling area. If you do not do this, the field groups are not displayed because the data produced is not useful.

Definition
In the standard SAP System, only the amounts in controlling area currency are taken into account in assessment/distribution. By crossing off the relevant field groups, you decide whether the following currencies are processed, with differing effects depending on the currency.
- Object currency
The sender values in the 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 system processes the object currency as if you had not crossed off 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.
- 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 assessment are posted in the controlling area currency.
If you want to display the amounts posted by the sender separately for the receivers, you should cross off 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 German marks (DEM) and Swiss francs (CHF): DEM = 1000, CHF = 2000. If you cross off 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 assessment. If you do not cross off 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.
Note
The object currency and transaction currency field groups are only updated separately, if you have set the "All currencies" indicator for the controlling area. If the indicator is not set, the field groups are not displayed in this screen.
