The costing items of the Controlling reference objects (such as orders, WBS elements, and cost object IDs) are entered in the transaction currency.

The costing items of the Logistics reference objects (for example, materials and sales documents) are entered in the object currency. You cannot change the currency in the cost estimate, because the currencies in the reference objects have priority.

You can display foreign currencies only in base planning objects and in cost estimates for general cost objects .

The system automatically finds the price for each item in the currency of the controlling area to which the base planning object is assigned. You can maintain foreign currencies in the header of the base planning object. You can change the exchange rates for the foreign currencies with the function New exchange rate by changing the default exchange rate type or exchange rate date.
