Most of the data migration APIs' structure can only handle currency values with 2 decimals. Only a very little number of API structures can handle more than 2 decimals places. The data migration conversion rule CURR_TO_INTERN (Convert Currency to Internal Type CURR Format) and CURR_TO_INTERN_2 (Convert Currency to Internal CURR (w/o Source Currency) are used to convert currency values with 0 or 2 decimal places. They cover ~97% of the currencies used in the world.

• Newly delivered migration objects since release 2502 must support three decimal places for amount fields.
• Based on the analysis of usage and the importance to use three decimal places within the object, there is a Development Plan to enhance existing currency amount fields of migration objects to support three decimal places.
• The following existing migration objects are supporting three decimal places since 2508 now:
  • FI - Accounts payable open item (SIF_OPEN_ITEM_AP)
