-->Set Currencies

 

 Check currency codes

The currency table must have entries for all currencies which occur in your business transactions.

Standard settings

In the SAP standard recipient system, all currencies are defined according to the international ISO standard.

SAP recommendation

SAP recommends that you use the ISO standard for your additional entries.

If your entries do not correspond to the ISO standard, you will not be able to use data exchange in international communication (e.g. bank clearing transactions).

Actions

1. Check the currency entries for completeness.

2. Add the missing currency entries as required.

3. Use the ISO standard for your additional entries.

 

 

Set Calendar

 

Maintain calendar

The public holiday and factory calendar is a central module in the SAP System. It is used in many areas

(e.g. in Logistics and in Human Resources) in the standard version.

You can use calendar maintenance to maintain and display the components of the calendar system. The

public holiday and factory calendar data calculated from calendar maintenance is directly available to the

system.

A factory calendar is allocated to your plant via another Customizing function.

The calendar system consists of the following components:

• Public holidays

Definitions for public holidays: Calculation rule for date, religious denomination etc.

• Public holiday calendar

Any composition of public holiday rules.

• Factory calendar

Definition of workdays including special regulations, under the assignment of a particular public
holiday calendar.

Standard Settings
The system delivers definitions of all common public holidays and public holiday rules, as well as a standard factory calendar.
A main memory area of 400000 Bytes is reserved for calendar data in the standard version. This is the minimum buffer size, which you should not go under.

Activities
Check whether all the definitions for public holidays and public holiday rules that you need are available in the system. If necessary, maintain the public holiday definitions and copy them to new or existing public holiday rules.

Create factory calendars if necessary.
 
Public holidays

Further Notes
Calendar buffer
If you want to increase the size of the calendar buffer, maintain the parameter zcsa / calendar
area with the maintenance transaction for system profiles. Restart the system for the value to take
effect.

Transport
Changes to calendar data are not automatically included in a correction request.
For the calendar data to be utilizable in another system, use the function Transport in the initial
screen of the maintenance transaction.

Note that you cannot transport individual public holidays or calendars. You can only transport
calendar data in its entirety. When you do this, all public holidays, public holiday and factory
calendars existing in the target system are deleted.
