Deactivating the second home currency
Did you know?
Many of our DCW customers still have DEM as their second local currency. Apart from the fact that these figures are no longer relevant, they take up storage space in the system and the automatic conversion into the second local currency still generates currency-specific DEM postings in the event of rounding differences, which are unnecessary.
Where can you see whether the second house currency is still active?
You can easily check this by pressing the F8 key (Select Client) in the DCW menu, then selecting option 5 in front of one of the working clients and pressing Enter. Then enter 1 in the first field (Basic Client Data). The following screen shows whether the local currency 2 is still active.
What do you need to bear in mind when deactivating?
The user guide contains the following important information:
Once the transition period for the currency changeover has expired, the second house currency can be deactivated. Deactivation must take place at the beginning of a financial year. From this date onwards, all applications will only work with the main currency, and the historical second currency will no longer be available to regular users. Posting is no longer possible in any financial years prior to the date entered. This means that only a date immediately after the end of a financial year that has already been certified should be entered. It is not possible to reset the date retrospectively. Evaluations and reports in the secondary currency are then only possible for a special user with the profile “DCWCURMNG” (DCW Currency Manager).
How do you deactivate the second house currency?
You need system administrator rights to deactivate the second house currency. Switch to the base client and select the menu item “Maintain Client”. Then select option 2 for the client to be changed and then 1 again for “Client master data”. Here you will now see F11=Deactivate HW2 in the function key area. Press F11. You must now enter a key date (start of the financial year to be selected) and confirm the action with the Enter key and then F6.
Then log out of DCW and restart the asynchronous jobs so that the changes take effect.
