Use

In reporting for Overhead Cost Controlling (Cost Center Accounting, internal orders, business processes) you can display values in any currency as well as values in controlling area currency, transaction currency, or object currency. This particularly applies in the double currency phase for the European currency union. In this phase, you need to be able to display values in the Euro currency (as a freely selected currency) as well as the controlling area or object currencies in reports.

You can use the following options for defining or displaying reports in Overhead Cost Controlling, in a freely selected currency:

You can define a currency translation in the selection screen for reports. If other translations were defined using the options below, the system executes this translation as well. This means that the system may execute two currency translations. Once the report has run, you can change or deactivate the settings for the currency translation interactively.

For customer-defined reports, the key figure Costs in target currency is provided in the Report Painter for column definitions. If you use this key figure during report definition in a column, then the following additional parameters appear in the selection screen for the report: Target currency, exchange rate date, and exchange rate type , for example, in the report for Cost Centers: Currency Translation (1S3W).

To do so, go to the SAP Easy Access menu, and choose Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Information system -> Report selection -> More reports -> Cost Centers: Currency Translation.

To insert the target currency, the exchange rate date, or the exchange rate in the report texts, use a text variable from the selection criteria category.

SAP provides the following Report Painter standard reports. You can load this from the SAPServ as an alternative to the most important standard reports for cost centers and internal orders (available in the languages of the European currency union) in a variant that enables you to translate into any currency required.

Cost center reports (Library 1EU)

Internal order reports (Library 6EU)

From Release 4.0, you can enter user-dependent settings for the report currency. This is for all reports that use the basic key figure (costs in report currency) SWKG. To do so, choose Cost Center Accounting -> Information system -> User settings -> Report currency.

You can specify any target currency, source currency (= reference currency, such as controlling area currency), and an exchange rate date and exchange rate type.

You can also make these settings for reports in the following applications:

Most of the standard reports provided by SAP use the SWKG key figure (costs in report currency).
