Remarks:
I am going through a decision process right now with my client regarding
this configuration. When my client first came up on SAP 9 yrs. ago,
they only had 1 currency. Since then they have made acquisitions
and now have multiple company codes with different currencies. What
I have found out is that once you set up a Company code for only one currency
you cannot turn on Multiple/Parallel currencies in that company code.
Fixed Assets are affected and so are all the AP & AR transactions.
AR & AP can run into issues when it attempt to create and additional
posting to the Group Currency because of Exchange Rate differences.
In my opinion, I beieve it was a major mistake not to have turned on
Additional Local Currencies from the beginning. What this does is
allows you to establish a "Group Currency" in the FI Module. In table
GLT0 you can see that there are columns way out to the right when you view
postings via SE16 in columns titled AMOUNT. These are the group currency
postings. You can then generate reports that pull this detail for
consolidated reporting.
