SAP Note 201445 - Info: Currency translations in settlement

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to currency translation during the settlement process in Controlling (CO). It clarifies the handling and conversion of currencies when settlements are made within CO or to Financial Accounting (FI). The problem arises when the currencies from CO documents do not match the translated amounts using valid exchange rates during the settlement process. The solution specifies settings in both CO and FI configurations. For instance, in CO, depending on year-dependent settings under Transaction OKKP, different currencies can be managed such as controlling area currency, object currency, and transaction currency. Similarly, in FI, local currencies managed are set by Transaction OB22. The settlement logic is detailed, explaining how amounts in various currencies are credited or recalculated to ensure consistent currency conversion using the exchange rate type M. The note emphasizes accurate configuration to reflect correct currency translations during settlements.
