Currencies and Organizational Units to be Changed Over

Component Preparation for Consolidation

The consolidation staging ledger is always changed over during the central changeover with the standard package.

Component EC-CS Consolidation

Org unit	Currency	Changeover in Consolidation?	Explanations
Cons unit	Local currency	Yes	see 1.
Ledger	Ledger currency	Yes	see 2.
Cons group	Cons group currency	No	see 3.
Client	Group currency	No	see 4.
	Transaction currency	No	see 5.

Explanations:

The system changes the local currency of the consolidation units selected for the changeover.
The system changes the ledger currency of the ledgers selected for the changeover.

After a ledger is changed over, all consolidation groups assigned to the ledger that do not report in local currency automatically report data in the new currency.

A ledger is assigned to each consolidation group for each version. The consolidation group currency is the same as the ledger currency and, hence, is converted during the changeover of the ledger currency.

For example, if two cons groups are managed in the same ledger with the ledger currency DEM, you cannot continue to manage one cons group in DEM and start managing the other in euros.

The group (or client) currency is also used by other SAP components. This is why it is not converted during the Consolidation changeover.
Transaction currency values in Consolidation are changed over as follows:

Transaction currency values for financial data are converted if no breakdown by transaction currency is specified for an item in Customizing.
Transaction currency values for standardizing or consolidation entries are converted if the document type used for the entry concerned does not support posting in transaction currency.

In both of the above cases, transaction currency values are only changed over in the balance carryforward for the changeover year.

This ensures that no values originating from previous local currency values are entered in the transaction currency field of current-year records.

Note

If a consolidation processing ledger is set to currency type 30 (group currency), its currency type must be changed to 80 (ledger currency) before the first euro changeover takes place. Otherwise, the Consolidation changeover cannot correctly process the ledger if the reporting currency (used by the Consolidation system) is based on the client (group) currency. The client currency is already converted by the standard package during the central changeover.

The system automatically changes currency type 30 to currency type 80. When the first euro changeover package is started – regardless of which package, the program RGCEUR40 is executed during the FILL phase. This program changes any consolidation processing ledgers with currency type 30 to currency type 80, and sets the ledger currency to the client currency.
