Regarding Adding group currecny in open purchase order

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Guru

I am trying to understand concept of group currency.

We added parallel currency in middle of Fiscal year 2015. at that time we had many open purchase orders was available. now because of that situation every time Finance team needs to do adjustment entries every period. Is there any way that I can add group currency in all open invoices. I tried to understand OSS note 39919 for this issue.

I need help

here is an example please check screen shot

Above mention is an open purchase order. now if I want to add our group currency (30). our company code currency is USD and our group currency is also USD. Please can any body help me for adding group currency in open purchase order. I am trying to add group currency in open purchase order.

Thank you

Hi Mona,

Did you introduce group currency (2nd local currency) subsequently by yourself?

This is supposed to be done by SAP-SLO group.  Otherwise, this will result in inconsistencies.

Hi Mona,

Please get in touch with SAP-SLO team as soon as possible. 

Subsequent activation / introduction of currencies need a table level update which we are not supposed to do.

Some of the complexities here are as below....

1) Table level update of currency value and balancing at document line item level.

2) All open POs and SOs update

3) Modify Chart of depreciation and creation of new depreciation area, if that company code has asset accounting enabled

This is typically a 4 to 6 months project for a typical all modules enabled company code.

Check OSS 39919 for more details...

Hi Mona,

I'm afraid you can't fix this by yourself.   There is a big risk in updating the tables directly.  SAP will not support in future.  I strongly recommend to touch base with SAP to get this inconsistency fixed.

Hi Mona,

I understand your point of view. 

According me, this has to be resolved by SAP-OSS team to prevent further data inconsistencies.  I don't find any other alternative.

Hi Madhu

I gone through note you mention. OSS 39919 it was great help,

following question I have

1. Does all our historical data will settle if we follow this note

2. Is it advisable to do all this thing in FY period 02. or you advise to wait until next year end.

Thank you

Mona

Hi Mona,

1) Yes.  You need SAP-SLO help to do this.  They will update all the line items of relevant company code at database level with one exchange rate.

2) There is no year dependency to do this.
