Summary :
In SAP FI, discrepancies between local and group currencies, despite identical currency types, can arise due to the configuration in 'Financial Accounting Global Settings.' Here, up to three local currencies can be managed, with the secondary and tertiary currencies optionally derived from the transaction or the primary local currency. This flexibility supports different valuation perspectives (e.g., company code, group) and specific needs like inflation adjustments or consolidation requirements. Adjustments in secondary currency calculation can result in variations when converting from primary currency for group reporting, reflecting values aligned with group consolidation principles rather than original transaction values. Customizing settings should be cautiously adjusted to cater to these translations, preferably post year-end closings.
