Hello Emad,


To avoid many future trouble, it will be a nice idea to activate group currency at the beginning of a financial year. Acitivate at country level (OY01) and at co.code level(Ob22). Also make sure to clear all open items before activating.


How to evaluate the historical data after activation of group currency needs to be tested.Adding a new currency needs depth analysis about the impact to various modules.  Pl see the note-399919 which details the process for maintaining additional currencies.


Regards,


Sam

If new currency is activated without clearing existing open items, then those open items will not get cleared later. Those open items need to be reposted again and cleared. So think carefully about the consequences before you act. Good luck

Hi Emad,

As far as my knowledge is concerned if new currency is activated without clearing existing open items, then those open items will not get cleared later. Those open items need to be reposted again and cleared.


If you are unsatisfied with the result, deactivation not possible, however you can go to ob22 and delete the new group currency. Then  clear the old open items. Then come back and activate the group currency again. Pl try it in the quality instead of messing up with the production server.
