Available Currencies in ERP
In ERP we used to have
▪ 3 local currencies in FI (including NewGL) ▪ 2 currencies in CO
▪ 3 currencies in Material Ledger
Challenges
▪ Currency conversion not consistent for FI / CO
▪ Limited number of currencies available in ERP Reporting not fulfilling all
requirements in parallel:
▪ Local close in local currency, group reporting, regional subgroup reporting, hard currency, specific functional currency in some industries, reporting with alternative exchange rates, ...
▪ Using several controlling areas with different currencies leads to loss of a group view in a common currency
▪ Especially in transfer price scenarios lack of parallel currencies
▪ Flexible currency handling often implemented separately in SAP BW (high effort,
inaccurate, reconciliation,...) or in FI-SL (different conversion settings,...)
