Change the currency of Operating Concern COPA

251 Views

Hi,

In my SAP environment there are 4 controlling areas. Only one of them is assigned to Operating concern. The remaining 3 have COPA inactive.

I would like to extend the existing operating concern to remaining 3 controlling areas, but before I do that I need to change the Operating concern currency as the one currently set is only relevant for only one controlling area and company code which is GBP. I need to change it to group currency - USD.

When I use F1 help on currency field in Operating Concern settings in configuration, I get information that 'once data has been posted, however, a change in the operating concern currency would cause the existing data to be interpreted as if it were posted in the new currency (for example: USD 1000.00 in old currency -> DEM 1000.00 in new currency).'

Even though we have transactional data posted in that operating concern , it is not being used by any department and we are quite happy to have existing data interpreted in USD instead of GBP. No reports are being generated in COPA currently so it will not be an issue for us. We want new data to be proper and constistent.

When I try to change the currency in operating concern config, the field is greyed out. I believe there is more complex workaround for that, but the only note I found on this is 651142 which says that SAP provides different tools to reorganize operating concern. But no further details are included.

If anybody managed to change operating concern currency, please help me with that.

Regards,

Karol
