In this process step, you can define additional currencies per company code which you would like to manage parallel to the local currency. In this case, you can choose between the following:

• Group Currency

Group currency is the currency that is specified in the client table or which is to be entered there.

• Hard Currency

Hard currency is a country-specific second currency that is used in countries with high inflation.

• Index-Based Currency

Index-based currency is a country-specific fictitious currency that is required in some countries with high inflation for external reporting (for example, tax returns).

• Global Company Currency

Global company currency is the currency that is used for an internal trading partner.

For the additional currencies, define the following data:

• Currency type

The currency type specifies the role of the additional currency (for example, group currency).

• Exchange rate type for the currency translation

The exchange rate type determines which exchange rate stored in the system is used for calculating the additional amount fields. As with the local currency, you can use the exchange rate type M (average exchange rate) or any other exchange rate type.

• Source currency for the currency translation

The amounts in the additional currencies can be calculated based on the document currency or on the local currency.

• Date for translation

For translating amounts, the exchange rate can be determined according to the translation date, the document date or the posting date.

You may not change the currency type after company codes are productive.

1. First define one or two currency entries in addition to the first local currency.
2. The group currency must be defined in the client.

You must store the global company currency in the internal trading partners to which the currency is to apply. To do this, branch to the detail screen of the corresponding company.

1. If you want to use the country-/region-specific currencies "Hard currency" or "Index-based currency" as additional currencies, you must enter the currency in the countries/regions to which the currency is to apply. To do this, branch to the detail screen of the country/region in question.
2. You can define a line layout variant for the line item display of the amounts in the additional currencies. For more information about line layout variants, see Define Display Format

If you manage additional currencies, you can change the default settings in the "Automatic Posting" activity. In this process step, you define the numbers of the accounts to which exchange rate differences are automatically posted for the valuating of open items and foreign currency valuations. The account determination when rating the open items and when posting exchange rate differences can be set here depending on the currency type. In this way, you can distinguish the accounts by currency type. Gains and losses from exchange rate fluctuations are then posted to separate accounts for the individual currency types, for example, local currency or group currency.

In the default settings, the specification of the currency type is missing for all entries. If you want to vary the account determination depending on the currency type, replace the entries for which no currency type exists with entries specifying the currency type.

For more information, see Prepare Automatic Postings for Foreign Currency Valuation

The amounts in the additional currencies are stored in the documents and updated in the general ledger. The group currency, like the document currency and local currency, is updated in the predefined ledger "00".

If you manage additional currencies other than the group currency, you must specify the ledgers in which the currency amounts are to be updated. The corresponding default settings are to be made in the “Special Purpose Ledger” component. For more information, see the associated Implementation Guide.
