Profitability Analysis lets you update data in multiple currencies. This is useful if your organization works with one global currency (operating concern currency) but has subsidiaries that carry out their business transactions in a local currency (company code currency).

However, note that activating the second currency doubles the number of actual postings, which has an influence on system performance.

In IDES, the operating concern currency is EUR, while the subsidiaries in non-European countries use the respective local currency as their company code currencies.

In this scenario, you will create a sales order and the corresponding delivery and billing document, and see how these are reflected in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
