The Preparatory Phase of Manage Currencies includes activities that must be performed before you can enhance accounting data with new currencies, in both the test and production systems. All settings, which have been defined in the preparatory phase, except Complete Preparations, must be transported into the production system during the downtime.

Before you defined the settings in the Preparatory Phase, you must maintain general information in the General Settings for Currencies. The general settings for currencies include the setup of the new currencies such as currency exchange rate types, exchange rates, and further currency settings.

Here you define the following currency settings:

  • Definition of the currency type
  • Assignment of a currency to the currency type
  • Currency calculation logic during posting
  • Assignment of the new currency type to the combination of company code and ledger

After you have maintained the general settings for currencies, you can run the following activities in the Preparatory Phase:

  • Define Settings for Currency Types
  • Create Project for Managing Currencies
  • Determine Accounts for Rounding Differences
  • Define Account Assignment to Reconcile Aggregated Values
  • Make Settings for Notifications
  • Define Number of Jobs
  • Prepare Follow-On System and Transport Configuration
  • Complete Preparations

These activities should be performed in the sequence that they are listed. This means that you need to define the currency type and assign it to a combination of ledger and company code before you create a project for managing currencies.

The project settings are compared with the currency settings in the ledger configuration. If you have defined a new currency for a ledger that uses extension ledgers, the extension ledgers will also be enhanced with this new currency.

Accounts for rounding differences must be determined. These accounts are necessary to create documents and line items in journal entries that are used to correct any rounding differences.

The following activities are optional:

  • Define Account Assignment for Reconciling Aggregated Values
  • Make Settings for Notifications
  • Define Number of Jobs

These activities help you optimize the reconciliation steps, the performance of the currency conversion, and allow you to notify responsible persons in specific currency conversion situations.

Before you Complete Preparations and start the project to Manage Currencies, in a test or production system, you should prepare these systems. You should ensure that the previous fiscal year has been closed and that balance carryforward has been performed. Furthermore, you must assign the authorization object FINS_MPROJ to all users who can run the data conversion. All necessary settings need to be transported to the follow-on systems.

NOTE The transport and import of necessary settings into the production system occurs during the downtime. Ensure that no business processes are posted while the new currency settings are imported or during the completion of this conversion project for the affected company codes.

The final activity of the preparatory phase is Complete Preparations. In this activity, important settings are checked and a snapshot of currency conversion relevant settings is taken. After the currency conversion, this snapshot is used to compare these settings with the snapshot that was taken before the currency conversion. This comparison ensures consistent data conversion.

The activity Complete Preparations changes the status of the project and allows you to start the currency conversion. It is the first activity, which needs to be performed in a production system after the configuration has been imported.
