SAP Note 27621 - Different currencies in FI and CO as of Release 3.0

Symptom:

In Release 3.0 (and for pilot customers from Release 2.2), it is possible to use different currencies for a controlling area and the assigned company codes.
Question: Can company codes and controlling areas that were set up before this be changed correspondingly?

Cause and prerequisites
Solution
Changing the existing company codes and controlling areas always requires a data conversion.
Existing master data must be checked and, if necessary, changed, because the object currency of the CO account assignment objects must correspond to the company code currency of the CO account assignment object when dealing with company codes and controlling areas using different currencies. For example, the cost center currency must be identical to the currency of the cost center's company code.
Documents already posted must also be converted, so that the updated values in controlling area currency and object currency correspond to the new currency keys for these currencies.
A standard tool does not exist for this conversion. It must be carried out for individual customers with the help of SAP's European Support Group (consultants service).
If a customer wants to set up his system in release 2.2, it is recommended implementing the desired functionality as a pilot version in 2.2. In this case, a conversion is not necessary when upgrading to 3.0.
