Hi

The R/3 System distinguishes between the transaction currency (entry currency) and the local currency (ledger currency). The transaction currency is the currency in which a transaction, such as posting an incoming invoice, is entered. The amount entered in transaction currency is then translated into the local currency and both amounts are stored in the document. This means you can always make reference to the business partner’s currency when sending correspondence such as payment reminders. You can therefore enter business transactions in national currency in the R/3 System even after the changeover to the euro. This corresponds to a foreign currency transaction with the only difference being that the euro has fixed exchange rates. Before changing over the ledger currency to the euro, the euro is managed as a foreign currency. Between the changeover and the end of the dual currency phase, the national currency will appear as a foreign currency.

Thanks

Hi prasad,

Document Currency :(VBAK-WAERK)

The system proposes the document currency from the customer master record of the sold-to party. You can change the currency manually in the document. If you change the currency, the system recalculates prices for the entire document.

Local Currency -

The currency of a company code (country currency) in which the local ledgers are managed.
