Hi

What is your exact business need ? Change rates maintenance ? Which R/3 version and SRM scenario are you using ?

Because you don't have to take care about the SC item currency. The requestor can add items from a catalog, potentially with items on N currencies (USD, EUR, GBP...), or add some items manually, selecting a currency from the list.

The SC total value will be calculated in the user's default currency defined as an attribute in PPOMA_BBP.

This is this amount/currency that is used in WF starting conditions.

Later, in follow on documents, the prices are converted in the vendor currency.

As you can see, the initially selected currency is converted.

The main requirement is to maintain exchange rates up to date in your SRM system.

You have 2 options to control the available currencies in the drop down list box:

-> using the BADI BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY, with method GET_CURRENCY.

change currency validity dates in SPRO, as SRM will propose non expired currencies

->To define a default currency as favorite for all users, create an entry in table BBP_CURRENCY_FAV, with owner = SAP_DEF_USER (this can also be controled in the BADI).

Please check the currency in your WF starting conditions.

Usually, the attribute CUR in your org structure is the currency used by the WF at "header level". (for example : shopping cart total value). Of course, if you maintain specific line item starting conditions, you have to make sure that the correct currency is mentionned else you get an issue.
