    Set Multiple Currencies

    Uploaded by

    This document provides instructions for setting up multiple currencies for a company code or group in SAP. It describes going to transaction codes OY01 and OB22 to define additional local currencies for parallel currencies. It recommends establishing a "Group Currency" from the beginning by turning on Additional Local Currencies, which allows consolidated financial reporting in that currency. Failing to do this originally can cause issues when trying to enable it later for fixed assets and AP/AR transactions.

    How To Set Multiple Currencies For Company Code or

    Remarks:
    I am going through a decision process right now with my client regarding this
    configuration. When my client first came up on SAP 9 yrs. ago, they only had 1
    currency. Since then they have made acquisitions and now have multiple company codes
    with different currencies. What I have found out is that once you set up a Company code
    for only one currency you cannot turn on Multiple/Parallel currencies in that company
    code. Fixed Assets are affected and so are all the AP & AR transactions. AR & AP can
    run into issues when it attempt to create and additional posting to the Group Currency
    because of Exchange Rate differences.
    In my opinion, I beieve it was a major mistake not to have turned on Additional Local Currencies from the
    beginning. What this does is allows you to establish a "Group Currency" in the FI Module. In table GLT0
    you can see that there are columns way out to the right when you view postings via SE16 in columns titled
    AMOUNT. These are the group currency postings. You can then generate reports that pull this detail for
    consolidated reporting.
