Add currency to the company code

Question

Hi Gurus,
We have created a company code for libya using local currency as USD but not defined group currency ( Canadian Dollar) and hard currency (Libya Dollar) while creating the company code.
Documents were posted and POs for logistics were created using USD. Now the local authorities needs to have reports in Libian currency, when we try to add group and hard curriences systems gives us a message
"The currency type for an additional local currency cannot be changed for company code, since documents were already posted in this company code".
So the other option is to create a new company code and transfer all documents and PO from old company code.
My question is if we create a new company code how can we tackle exchange rates during that period
Is there any other option instead of creating a new company code.
Thanks for your support and will assign good points.
Thanks

Hello,
Please assess the possibility to create a new Special Ledger instead of creating another company code and migrating the required data.
In the Spl. Ledger Settings specify the Group Currency and Hard Currency as required for the original libyan company code. Carryout the rest of settings such as Installation of tables, Field movements etc.,
Importantly, at the Activity level, specify that the ledger can be posted directly and even at subsequent posting (option '3') so that there is a possibility to transfer the Documents from FI to SPL at a later point of time as well. (This way the historic data can be moved to SPL)
Once the ledger is created successfully, as a start-up activity, transfer the historic data to SPL using GCU1.
Hope this info helps you.
