Synchronizing currencies

You can synchronize the list of currencies defined in the Core Database of SAP Convergent Charging with a list of currencies defined in the SAP ERP reference system. Note that synchronizing currencies:

Is only available for SAP CC users which are assigned the marketing role
Is only available when SAP Convergent Charging is connected to the SAP ERP reference system
Only takes into account the definitions of the currencies (the definitions of the ISO 4217 are not modified)
Can add new currencies and modify or remove the existing currencies
Modifies currencies stored both in the Core Database of SAP Convergent Charging and in the data caches used by the different running server instances

Caution: Currencies are used in the whole application and shared by all the SAP CC users. Because synchronizing currencies can modify existing currencies, we strongly recommend that you consult your administrator before performing this operation. If a currency is removed from the list of currencies:

This currency is unknown to SAP Convergent Charging, and a message is displayed every time a business object tries to use this currency
You cannot use this currency when creating new business objects (master data)
The charging and refilling operations based on business objects which use this currency are not possible and fail

Tasks

You can synchronize currencies when:

The currencies have been changed in the SAP ERP reference system
The SAP CC user cannot see the appropriate currencies in the list when configuring master data in the Core Tool user interface

Prerequisite

The SAP CC system is connected to the SAP ERP system.
