Documentation

Definition

Key determining the transaction 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:

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.
