Documentation
Definition
Key for the currency with which amounts in a transaction are entered and recorded.
Supplementary Documentation - TWAER 0006
Use
You can use many different types of currency in transaction-related repostings in controlling.
In this field, enter the transaction currency, which is constant for the duration of the transaction. The R/3 System calculates amounts in the other currency types using this amount -- for example, the amount in cost center currency
The currency translations proceed in the following sequence:
- Translation of transaction currency to controlling area currency
- Translation of controlling area currency to the cost center or order currency.
You must only enter entries for these currency translations in the exchange rate table.
Procedure
When you enter the transaction currency in the field, the costs are translated according to the above sequence at the mean rate of the posting date.
Dependencies
Direct and indirect links exist between the controlling area and posting date fields. These links determine whether translation to different currencies is valid or not.
The fiscal year for the posting date is derived from the controlling area, which refers to a fiscal year variant. The R/3 System determines the control parameters for the controlling area from the fiscal year. These parameters use the Update all currencies field to determine whether you can post amounts in currencies other than the controlling area currency.
Supplementary Documentation - TWAERB 0006
Use
You can use any currency required for transaction-based repostings in the Controlling component (CO).
Here, enter the transaction currency, which remains constant for the life of the reposting (business transaction). It forms the basis for automatic calculations of other currency field groups, such as cost center currency.
The SAP system makes currency translations on the following basis:
- Transaction currency to controlling area currency
- Controlling area currency to cost center currency and order currency
Enter data only for these types of currency translations in the exchange rate table.
Procedure
When you enter a transaction currency, the system converts costs according to the sequence above, using the average rate on the posting date.
Dependencies
There are direct and indirect dependencies to the controlling area and posting date fields. The dependencies allow or prevent currency translation in given currencies.
The controlling area, because it determines the fiscal year variant, determines the fiscal year for the posting date. The fiscal year in turn determines the control parameters for the controlling area. Together, they determine via the field Post all currencies? whether or not to allow postings in currencies other than the controlling area currency.
