How to set Account Currency in app Manage G/L Account Master Data?
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
If a currency other than the company code currency is specified, users can only post items in that currency to this account. (An exception to this is exchange rate differences resulting from valuating G/L account balances.)
If the company code currency is specified, users can post items in any currency to this account.
Additionally, the account currency for cash accounts is by default set to the company code currency in the G/L master data. This means that for these accounts, the currency field is not editable and is always filled with the company code currency. See details in follow KBAs
