Amazing step by step explanation. Im in PP but it is good to understand what FICO consultants do. This is because sometimes we encounter FICO related errors during a new implementation, because the config wasnt updated yet. So it helps to point out the error source for the FICO member to fix. Thank you.

[@AbdullahGalal]

of course , plus it will help you in "fighting" meetings against FICO 😁, we clash a lot with PP

Thank you so much for the valuable video. Always learn lots of tips and good information from your each videos. I am a big fan of your videos and looking forward to watching more. This is what I have understood on document currency- document currency can be company code currency or it can be vendor /supplier currency . for example if my vendor is from India and my company is in Europe then my company's document currency is in INR and company code currency is in Euro..

[@AbdullahGalal]

Yes but it can also be any currency we want to use even if different from vendor currency

Is it possible for you to answer it? If we consider scenario where 1st local currency is EUR (CT10), 2nd local currency is USD (CT60 - Glob Comp curr) and 3rd Local currency is JPY (CT30 Group curr) in which currencies can I set up material ledger? Obviously in EUR, but will I be able to have 2nd currency in the material ledger as USD in this scenario? Thank you again in advance.

Hi Sir, it's really great experience with this video and I got to know many things in currency part in sap. Thanks for the video. you have explained in s4 hana point of view that is fine. And also i'm requesting you to explain in ECC 6.0 for Parallel currency where we can maintain only 3 maximum currencies. Thanks in advance.

[@AbdullahGalal]

I don't create videos on ECC since it's outdated, but you can find many blogs explaining this

[@asharafalia]

Also where can we define the whole group in SAP consisting multiple companies. I have become fan, you explain topics with so much clarity. You make things easy.

Dear AG This video is very informative. But I would like to know if our system is already productive and transactions are posted in that company code and later we want to implement parallel accounting then how can we achieve it?

[@bhushanvaradkar5750]

Thanks Abdullah.. this is very much informative. Just one question.Even if we get multiple currencies in financial document but in Finance submodule like Fixed Asset,Material ledger there is limitation on usability of Currencies right?

[@AbdullahGalal]

Yeah but it improved with S4HANA, you can have parallel currencies in fixed assets and material ledger now but that's a more advanced topic

[@chitupolushankar]

Hello Abdullah Gamal.. thank you for sharing very good document. I have some observation from my experience that, source currency type should not be document currency and it should be company code currency. For example, we have company code currency and group currency both USD. There was a forex gain/ loss from EUR (document currency). So system post zero amount in EUR and 110.50 USD as amount in company code currency. In case if you maintain above setting like source currency is document currency for currency type 30, amount in group currency is zero. If that is the case, when we check the financial statements in currency type 10 and 30 (where both are USD), you face amounts mismatch. Hence I suggest to use source currency type as company code currency for any parallel currency. please correct me if Im wrong.

[@kamleshjadav3285]

So from Business scenario point of view, what is the difference between Group currency and Global Company currency? Will they be the same currency?

[@AbdullahGalal]

It all depends on your business requirements. If you have a customer asking for many currencies you will start mapping them to different types

[@munikumarr1]

Thank you for sharing the very useful videos on SAP, I have been following you in KZbin for about 2 years. I have small requirement on foreign currency. I have an Invoice in different currency but the payment should be made in different currency and the Invoice should be auto cleared after the payment from F110. is this possible is there any document i car refer for this requirement solution. Eg. Invoice is EUR 100 and I am going to pay the same in USD Equaling lets say 90USD, can I include the EUR Invoice in F110 for payment in USD currency and is it possible to clear the Invoice document automatically after the payment is released.

[@AbdullahGalal]

F110 should clears all the paid invoices so it should clear this one too. I see this is an old comment, have you figured this out?

[@davidds9435]

[@asharafalia]

Thanks for such a nice explanation! I just have a doubt about companies and group as a whole. For example- There is corporate group Relyance. This has 3 business lines 1. Relyance Telecom 2. Relyance FMCG 3. Relyance Power. Relyance telecom has business in India and US. Relyance FMCG has business in China and Japan. Relyance power has business in france and UK. So In SAP Relyance Telecom will be defined as a company.( Z100) two co codes will be created one for India(1000) and one for US(2000). these co codes will be assigned to Company Z100. This company currency will be Group Currency or Global Company currency? Also we can get report at company level. How Financial report can be drawn at the whole group level that is for Relyance group.

[@AbdullahGalal]

@@AbdullahGalal We have two rates at which we procure USD, one at the bank rate and one from the parallel market. Both the rates are different owing to the market dynamics. And also due to certain legal regulation some Raw Materials imported in the country are not allowed to procure forex from Bank at bank rate and hence have to procured at Parallel Market rate. So now we have procurement of RM at different rates . We need to track the CNF rate of procurement based on the exchange rate used for procurement. How do we do that?
