Currency Translation
You can use currency translation to convert amount key figures with currency fields that exist in the source system in possibly different currencies into a standard currency in the BW system (the local currency or company currency for example). Another application serves as the currency difference report, where you can compare the actual exchange rates with the exchange rates that were valid on the posting date, thus determining the effect of changes to exchange rates. |
