Currency fields in SAP FICO !!

In this post I thought I'll share with you all some technical information relating to the currency fields in SAP FICO. As I have been getting request to share some technical information on SAP AFS, I thought I'll expand the contents of www.erparena.com with some SAP technical info as well.

Currency Fields in SAP

The field in which the document and index currency is stored in SAP differs based on the document currency entered.

The logic below is mainly for Financial Accounting documents:

The below logic will help you get a better understanding of the best way to keep provide the appropriate fields when writing functional specifications that need to capture values in Document and the Index Currency:

• If Document Currency =  Company Code Currency (Currency Type =10)

For Company Code Currency Value:

Then take field: BSEG: WRBTR.

• If Document Currency ≠  Company Code Currency (Currency Type =10)

For Foreign Currency Value:

Then take field: BSEG: WRBTR.

For Company Code Currency Value:

Then take field: BSEG: DMBTR.

Note : When writing specs remember to take into consideration any exchange variations that could arise between the actual transaction date and the initial dates.

All the best !!
