SAP Note 119428 - Controlling area: Currency type 20 or 30

Component : Controlling -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/119428 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In SAP environments, currency type '20' is specific to cost accounting and distinct from '30' used widely in Financial Accounting. Integration scenarios, such as the movement from CO to FI, demand consistency in currency selection, favoring types like '30' for seamless data transition and minimizing valuation discrepancies. Currency type modifications are restricted post data entry, with solutions like program ZCHGCTYP aiding conversions where configurations remain unchanged, particularly from type '20' to '30'. Updated practices post SAP 4.6A facilitate these changes without altering dependent data, though shifts involving different currency keys remain unsupported. For optimal data integrity in cases like PCA adaptations, confirming currency uniformity across modules is advisable, adapting program provisions where necessary to align with version updates.
