Summary :
Utilizing currency type 30 (group currency) as a controlling area currency can present challenges in scenarios where multiple controlling areas across various currencies need to be established in a global SAP client setting. The group currency, which is determined at the client level, mandates uniformity across all controlling areas for currency type 30, complicating its use when diversity in controlling area currencies is required. While managing a maximum of two currencies in FI and CO is standard, exclusive management of currency type 20 in CO (controlling area currency) restricts its dual management in FI, emphasizing client-specific setups for optimal currency management. More detailed mechanisms on currency type effects and system configurations related to controlling area definitions are elaborated within the SAP system documentation.
