You specify in the document type which key figures the system should post:

  • Transaction currency

  • Local currency

  • Group currency

  • Quantity

Structure

Transaction Currency

You can post (financial statement) items with a breakdown by transaction currency if:

  • The document type allows for posting in transaction currency

  • The breakdown category of the item is defined with a breakdown by transaction currency

You can post several transaction currencies in one document. The system does not check whether the balance per transaction currency is equal to zero.

Quantities

You can post quantities to financial statement items if:

  • The document type allows for posting in quantities

  • The breakdown category of the item is defined with a breakdown by quantity

A fixed value is assigned to the unit of measure in the breakdown category, which means that the breakdown category of the item determines the unit of measure.

It is possible to post to items, to which several breakdown categories with different units of measure have been assigned. In this case, you would post quantities in multiple units of measure within a single document. The system does not check whether the balance is equal to zero – neither for each unit of measure, nor for the entire document.
