• The Define Currency Settings for Ledgers and Company Codes configuration step, will only allow configuration for company codes without existing postings or plant assignments in the Q and P system;
• An error occurs when trying to configure a company code for an additional currency with existing postings, because it is not possible to delete postings from a company code.

It is only possible to add new currency types for a company code that has not been used yet.

This means that, an additional currency for a company code can only be added if the following conditions are true in both quality (Q) and production (P) systems:

• No journal entries have been posted for the company code;
• If actual costing is active: No changes have been made to the accounting attributes of materials that are relevant for actual costing (price determination = 3) in the company code;
• No plants assigned to the company code.

Otherwise, a check blocks currency configuration changes.
It is not possible to make any changes to the SAP standard currency types Document Currency (00) and Company Code Currency (10). You specify the company code currency (and your group currency) when setting up a system.
