In the SAP CC Core Server system, this updater instance is starting the initialization of the external currencies automatically because of the EIF.
The instance tries to synchronize some currency definitions from a reference system such as SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP.
Additional Information
Synchronizing Currencies with an SAP Reference System (S/4HANA or ERP): Manual Replication
Currencies and Custom Currencies
SAP Convergent Charging manages ISO and non-ISO based currency definitions. SAP CC assigns a currency to each computed amount (dynamic price) with a personalized precision level. You can process prices with up to six decimal places. Currencies are part of the business data configured in the complete SAP CC system.
SAP CC handles a proprietary definition for country or custom currencies.
An application administrator manages this business data in close cooperation with the SAP CC pricing specialists. The data maintenance depends on various reasons.
Note
-
In an integrated SAP Solution (with SAP S/4HANA or SAP Business Suite), the currency definitions are configured in the SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP reference system first. The reference system replicates the currency definitions with their number of decimal places to SAP Convergent Charging when requested by an SAP CC user.
-
If your deployment scenario is not based on this SAP Solution, each SAP currency must be configured and maintained in the SAP CC system.
-
The SAP CC Core Server system stores the currency definitions in the CURRENCY database table.
-
In SAP Convergent Charging, you do not configure currencies to manage currency conversion for the pricing configuration.
An SAP Currency is identified by an alphanumeric code (max. five digits).
-
This identification code is a three-letter code when you configure an SAP currency that represents an original country currency and that is based on the international ISO 4217 standard.
-
To manage amounts with more decimal places than an original currency, you define some secondary currencies. Use a four-digit code to configure some secondary currencies that are based on the original one but with some different precision.
-
Use a personalized code to configure some non-ISO currencies such as the PNT (Point) currency for example. PNT is defined with no decimal precision.
The currency is defined by:
- The precision, which represents the number of decimal places
- A legible name, which is clear enough to be read easily
- An ISO 4217 currency code defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO) when the currency configured in SAP CC relates to an ISO currency.
Examples
You configure an SAP CC system with the following currencies:
| SAP Currency | Precision | Legible Name | Based on ISO Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| PNT | Zero decimal places | Point | N/A |
| EUR | Two decimal places | European Euro | EUR (978) |
| EUR4 | Four decimal places | European Euro (4 Dec. Places) | |
| EUR6 | Six decimal places | European Euro (6 Dec. Places) | |
| USD | Two decimal places | United States Dollar | USD (840) |
| USDN | Five decimal places | (Internal) United States Dollar (5 Decimal Places) | |
| USD6 | Six decimal places | (Internal) United States Dollar (6 Decimal Places) |
Based on these currencies, you can model and design some pricing logic for your marketable end-customer services.
For example:
- In pricing catalogs, reusable charge and redefine charge plans are associated to a single or multicurrency
- In customer master data, subscriber accounts are associated to a currency; subscriber mapping tables can include some currencies.
SAP Convergent Charging manages some definitions for the IS0 4217 currency codes to facilitate the configuration of ISO-based country currencies. In SAP CC, you configure the necessary ISO currency codes (three-letter code, numeric code, minor currency unit, and ratio). The international ISO 4217 standard is the reference from the International Standards Organization (ISO).
An application administrator manages this business data in close cooperation with the SAP CC pricing specialists. The data maintenance depends on various reasons.
Note
The SAP CC Core Server system stores the ISO currency code definitions in the ISO_4217 database table.
