Thanks a lot for your answers.

I have red the note and it gives the rule you have written : Group currency (30-FI) has to be the same as Controlling Area Currency (20-CO) to avoid errors in data transmissions.



Question: How do currency types 20 and 30 (group currency) relate to each other?

Answer: Currency type 20 is only known by cost accounting, whereas currency type 30 is known generally in Financial Accounting. Therefore, data transmission via the modules CO, AM, and FI works without any difficulties if type 30 is used by all. Otherwise, difficulties can arise if, for example, AM expects 30=USD but receives 10=USD and 20=USD with different values from CO for the settlement.



Do you think there are other point to consider about the company code currency and the link with CO or not ?

Because I guess that the posting is done in FI and automatically posted in CO. If the company code currency is in EUR and Controlling Area in USD, what is the process ?

Thank you

Hi,

The company code currency is EUR, whats the Group currency of company code. Check in OB22. If its USD, wont be any issue as controlling also has same USD.

I have checked, the group currency is USD.

I have made a scenario where :

- in MM, we have a stock of 10 000 USD - today

- Then, converted to EUR in FI, with an exchange rate of 1USD = 0.8E - tomorrow => 8000E

- Then converted to USD in CO, with an exchange rate of 1USD = 0.9E - in two days => 8889USD

So, I will have an amount complety different between MM and CO ?

Is my example relevant or not ? Considering the fact that we have a group currency is USD.

It is difficult to imagine the all process.

Thanks a lot

Hi ,

Also , Go through SAP note on Controlling area currency :  119428.

Usually, the controlling area currency type will be 30(Group currency)  which will be same as Group currency of all company codes in FI. (local currency of LE's can be different).

Hi Abdel,
