Changing Controlling Area Currency

I have a business requirement to change my group currency from CAD to USD. I would like to do it at the beginning of the next current year. I am sure there are many implications. Can anyone comment on this or refer me somewhere to get additional information on this topic. Thank you very much

Hi Christine
Do you have Material Ledger active on your system? If so then it is not possible to make changes to your currencies.
If ML is not active and you have postings already on your system. This would be a complex change. All data would
have to be removed.

Hi ,

Value Type     41     Budget
Object ind.     P     Project item
Debit type     1     Costs and credit-side payments
My case is the following :
Controlling Area Currency : USD
WBS object currency : EUR .
The budget on the wbs is in EUR ; unfortunately the bdg displayed into the report , has a Change rate that i dont' recognize .
E.G. Budget on the wbs 110000 EUR - bdg displayed into report : 120.153,85
If i launch the transaction cj31 i see the bdg , if i select controlling area currency , the bdg in USD >156.200,00.
This value is read from the table BPGE .
Why does the report S_ALR_87013558 don't read it also from there?
thanks and regards

Changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code

Hi,
Due to my client requirement, in the middle of the year, we need to change the controlling area from being same as company code to cross company code controlling area. Although the currency is same. We are going to create a new company code. Is the changing controlling area settings possible to do? what are the precautions and changes need to be taken?
One more question, we need to change the company code when the new company code is created in the system in Cost Center Masters in the middle of the year. Is this possible after changing controlling area from single company code to cross company code. Right now company code is not appearing in the cost center master.
Thanks & Regards,
Saidarao

Hi,
If both companies having transaction data its not possible,Normally before defining Organisational Strucutre only we have to deside both companies is assigning same controlling are or have to maitain separately for this we have to compare the Fiscal year,Operating chart of accounts ,if both having same then we will assign both the company codes to one controlling area if these two companies having different currencies also its not a problem.When we creating Controlling Area we have to choose option of controlling area as same company code (if one company code one controlling Area) for example if you assigning two companies then we have to use cross company code cost accounting.If u need any further information let me know.

Controlling area currency diff from comp code currency

Hi Gurus,
In all the reports for for viewing the budget vs actual, i am getting in controlling area currency(EUR) I want to view that in company code currency( INR) by default without having to change the currency.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have two options:
Enter either a target currency or one of the following currencies:
Controlling area currency
Object currency
Transaction currency
If you enter a target currency, enter the following data for currency translation:
Base currency
Date of translation
Exchange rate type
The SAP system uses these entries to convert from the selected base currency to target currency values
Hope its useful.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks..

Controlling area currency - urgent

Hi,
In a project we are using Controlling Area Currency as INR. As our group company is europe based they want us to change to EUR. We are also using PCA where currency is INR. I want to know the pros and cons of changing the same to EUR from INR.
Bye,
Ramesh

Hello
Check this if it could help you
When you create a controlling area, you specify whether the controlling area currency may differ from the company code currency, and which particular currency is to be the controlling area currency.
You can use the company code currency or the currency of a different organizational unit recorded as a parallel currency in the company code. You can also use a separate controlling area currency not dependent on the company code currency.
Cross-company code cost accounting can therefore be performed for company codes that use values recorded in different currencies. SAP recommends that you specify a consistent parallel currency for the company codes, and use this as the controlling area currency. In this case, postings in Controlling are made that are relevant for Accounting.
The following currencies are valid in Controlling:
· Controlling area currency
The system uses this currency for cost accounting. This currency is set up when you create the controlling area. It is based on the assignment control indicator and the currency type.
(see: Specifying Controlling Area Currency )
· Object currency
Each object in Controlling, such as cost center or internal order, may use a separate currency specified in its master data. When you create an object in CO, the SAP system defaults the currency of the company code to which the object is assigned as the object currency. You can specify a different object currency only if the controlling area currency is the same as the company code currency. There is an object currency for the sender as well as one for the receiver.
· Transaction currency
Documents in Controlling are posted in the transaction currency. The transaction currency can differ from the controlling area currency and the object currency. The system automatically converts the values to the controlling area currency at the exchange rate specified.
The system always translates actual data with the average rate (exchange rate type M).
You store the exchange rate type for each currency. You can specify a different exchange rate type for planning data in the version.
All three currencies are saved in the totals records and the line items. This enables you to use the different currencies for evaluations in the information system. This is only possible if you specified that all currencies should be updated for the given controlling area (see: Maintain Controlling Area).
The transaction currency is USD, the controlling area currency is EUR, and the object currency is SFR (Swiss francs). The system converts the amounts as follows:
1.) From transaction currency to controlling area currency (USD ® EUR)
2.) From controlling area currency to object currency (EUR ® SFR)
The following additional currencies may also appear as controlling area currencies in Controlling if you use cross-company code cost controlling:
Local Currency:
Company code currency (country currency) used for local ledgers in external accounting.
For each company code you can specify one or two parallel currencies (= second and third local currencies) which are stored in the documents and updated parallel to the local currency in the general ledger.
Group Currency:
Currency in which the group balance sheet is displayed.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code.
Hard Currency:
Secondary currency for countries with high inflation. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the hard currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Index-Based Currency:
Country-specific, fictitious currency stipulated in certain countries with high inflation for tax returns. You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to specify the index-based currency in the detail screen for the corresponding country.
Global Company Currency:
Currency used in a corporate group. In the CO application component you can create companies to represent divisions, regions, or product groups.
You can specify it as a parallel currency (additional local currency) for a company code. You need to store the global company currency in the detail screen for the corresponding company.
For more information on defining parallel currencies, see Customizing under Financial Accounting ® FI Global Settings ® Company Code ® Parallel Currencies ® Defining additional local currencies.

AuC requires an area in the controlling area currency EUR

Hi,
In our new business scenario we have one country in Europe which uses currency EUR and another country is Morocco which uses currency MAD.

There is a one controlling area and two different company codes for two different countries. In Controlling area our configuration is Currency Type - 20(Controlling Area Currency), tick the check box of Diff.company code currency and curency is EUR. While I am creating Internal Order for CWIP asset of Spain where currency is EUR I am not getting problem of crating CWIP asset through KO01.
While I am creating Internal Order for CWIP asset of Morocco where currency is MAD I am getting problem of creating CWIP asset through KO01. Error shows as :
AuC requires an area in the controlling area currency EUR
Message no. AY310
Diagnosis
The controlling area currency EUR is not managed in any of the areas of the asset under construction that is to be created. However, this currency is required for the capital investment measure.
System Response
Error message: Creating the AuC or releasing the order/ WBS element is not possible; or changing the asset under construction is not possible.
Procedure
Check if you manage the controlling area currency in one of the depreciation areas in Asset Accounting, especially in asset class M999. If you do not, then define such a depreciation area. Make sure that this depreciation is active in asset class M999.
You can save the order / WBS element if you remove the investment profile that was entered.
u2022 If you are in the 'Change asset' transaction, check if you have deactivated a depreciation area that manages controlling area currency EUR. Re-activate this depreciation area.
What will be the probable solutions ?
Best Regards,

AuC requires an area in the controlling area currency USD

Hi,
when i posting AUC through Internal Order i am getting error "AuC requires an area in the controlling area currency USD message no.AY310"
Diagnosis
The controlling area currency USD is not managed in any of the areas of the asset under construction that is to be created. However, this currency is required for the capital investment measure.
System Response
Error message: Creating the AuC or releasing the order/ WBS element is not possible; or changing the asset under construction is not possible.

Check if you manage the controlling area currency in one of the depreciation areas in Asset Accounting, especially in asset class 1200. If you do not, then define such a depreciation area. Make sure that this depreciation is active in asset class 1200.
You can save the order / WBS element if you remove the investment profile that was entered.
If you are in the 'Change asset' transaction, check if you have deactivated a depreciation area that manages controlling area currency USD. Re-activate this depreciation area.
Please help me in this issue.

Hi Venkat,
I think you need to maintain depreciation area for the controlling area currency USD for atleast the asset class (i.e.1200)..Then the problem will be solved.
In the error text only, SAP has given clear cut procedure.

CJI3 Report - Balance in Controlling Area currency after settlement

Hi Friends,
When I run CJI3 report for one of my projects, the system displays the actual costs in Controlling Area Currency and Object Currency. Controlling Area currency is USD and Object Currency is EUR. After settlement, for one of the cost elements, the CJI3 report shows 0 EUR actual costs balance under Object Currency and displays 19.5 USD actual costs balance under Controlling Area currency. This seems to be coming from PM05 order and the the posting dates are different.
Why there is balance shown in Controlling Area currency (USD) (may be due to exchange rate difference according to me..)?
How this issue can be resolved so that I can go ahead to close the project?
One more thing related to the same issue, when I run CN41 (Structure Overview0 report), it shows a difference actual costs balance (3201USD)? Why is it different from CJI3 report? Which report is correct?
Thanks & Regards,
Balakrishnan

you need to check two things -
are you settling the PM05 order to WBS before settling the WBS itself
or
there seems to be another account to make provision for exchange rate fluctuation - check that out

Posting in Controlling Area Currency

Hi
We have the following Scenario
Actual Balance in WBS Elements X is 15000.00 AUD (Object Currency) and 12000.00 USD(Controlling Area Currency)
We have transffered the balance from X WBS Element to Y WBS Element by netting of the Object Currency to Zero.
Resulting that the revised balance as below :
Object Currency = 0.00 AUD
Controlling Area Currency = 1000.00 USD.
We like to net of the Controlling Area Currency also in WBS Element X.
Is there any way of posting the same in Controlling Area Currency Alone.
We want the solution urgently.
Thanks and Regards
Ramesh KR

Activate Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency

Hello,
I have controlling area currency USD and company code currency INR. When I do WIP run then system is giving error messages "contr.area currecy is missing" and "not find valid cost component structure" and suggesting to maintain "Cost Component Split in Controlling Area Currency".
When I maintain then after that I am not able to run CK11N for std.cost estimate only with the error "cost componenet spit costed with zero" and also system giving this message on front screen of ck11n, means not allowing to go into ck11n result screen.
Could you please give me some tips or check point on this issue.
Thanks
Regards
Ravi

I'd revert to the Cost Component per Co Area currency config that you were forced to delete (as per your other post) - but this time, just for a Costing Type or a specific Val Variant and check the results.
Maybe that'll throw some light... also check if you maintained all the Exchange Rate config in your system... check General Settings for all the config that is required.
Cheers.

RA data only updated in Controlling Area currency..

Hi Guys,
When we run the Results Analysis for WBS Elements, we are getting the message " RA data only updated in Controlling Area Currency ".
How can we make this message gone or why is the system updating only in CO Area Currency.
Thanks
Srik.

Hi,
The company code currency for this WBS is different from the Co Area Currency assigned in the Co Area definition.
However still system is updating only in the Co Area Currency.
Thanks,

NEW GL profit center report in Controlling area currency

Hi all,
Could anybody suggest me,
how do we have the New GL profit center report in controlling area currency.
or else if any possibility for report painter report please suggest.
Thanks
kishore

Hi Kishore
New GL PCA values are stored in FAGLFLEX* tables.
These are FI tabls and they store values in 1st 2nd and 3rd currency of FI. If your control area current is same as anyof these, you can access report in that currency
Else, you can do the conversion inside your report using a static exchange rate

Changing controlling areas

Hi All,
I want to know if the co area in cj20 can be changed , if it can be changed please tell me how to change the co area from 1000 to 2000

Hi vineeth ,
I agree with others..You can not change Controlling area in project after get saved...
But for further project you can create a new project profile and don assign controlling are there.
While creating project system will ask for that in cj20n.
And if you dont want to change new project profile then You can do like that...While creating project in cj20n you can change controlling are before saving the project.
Hope it will help you
Thanks

Controlling area currency copied to cost condition: DP90/91

In my example, the transaction currrency is 0 USD but the CO area currency is -15.09 AUD. I can see that after running DP90, the controlling area currency has been picked up.
When I checked ODP1 for transaction currency characteristic, the 'No summarization' has been checked. So it should have picked the transaction currency. But it is picking the CO currency. Is this so because cost in Trans currency is 0 and zero cost cannot be transferred to a cost condition?

Check the following note whether it helps you:-
Note 157020 - Assembly: Incorrect currency for transfer EK01/EK02

Hello
I have almost similar question...
When executing a profit center report for a company code with another currency (SEK) than the Controlling Area currency (DKK) I get the figures in DKK. When executing a Cost Center report for the same area I get the figures in SEK because of 'Object currency' in RPC0.
Will I not be able to get data in Profit Center reports in SEK without make a currency 'translation' where I have to choose an Exchange rate type and date?
Thanks in advance
