Changing the local currency of an existing company code in SAP is not supported directly, so your approach—creating new company codes with ARS as local currency and assigning USD as a free currency (currency type 40)—is the correct and standard way in SAP.

Here’s a structured response to your key questions and requirements:

---

✅ 1. Month-End Foreign Currency Valuation for Free Currency 40 (USD)

A. Configuration for Free Currency Valuation (Currency Type 40)

• For foreign currency valuation to work on a free currency:

  • You must activate foreign currency valuation for currency type 40 in Ledger configuration (Transaction code: FINSC_LEDGER).

  • Ensure valuation methods, valuation areas, and accounting principles are correctly set for the new company code.

  • Assign the valuation method to the valuation area (OB59) and link the valuation area to the ledger/accounting principle (SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Ledgers > Ledger > Define and Assign Accounting Principles).

B. Perform Foreign Currency Valuation

Run standard SAP transaction:

• Transaction Code: FAGL_FCV

  • Ledger: Enter the appropriate ledger(s)

  • Valuation Area: Set up for USD valuation

  • Valuation Method: Matches accounting standard (e.g., ARS-GAAP or IFRS)

  • Currency Type: 40 (Free currency, USD in this case)

  • Posting Type: Only Realized/Only Unrealized/Both

  • Posting Date & Valuation Key Date: Month-end

SAP will revalue ARS balances into USD (currency 40) using configured exchange rates.

C. Output: Financial Statements in ARS and USD

Once valuation is posted, you can run reports:

• FAGLB03 (G/L account balance display)

  • View balances per ledger and currency (select local and free currency)

• FAGLL03H (G/L Line Item Browser)

  • Use dynamic selection: ledger, currency type, etc.

• S_ALR_87012284 (Financial Statement)

  • Configure for ARS and also with currency translation to USD

• FAGL_FC_VAL_MONITOR: Monitor valuation results

Also use:

• FAGL03: For G/L balances in all currencies (check which G/Ls are set for open item management)

• F.01 (Financial Statement Versions): Create versions for:

  • Local currency (ARS)

  • Free currency (USD)

✅ 2. Data Transition Strategy for New Company Code (ARS Local, USD Free Currency)

You want to create a new company code with:

• Ledger 0L for ARS (local)

• Ledger 2L for USD (free currency type 40)

And minimize historical report impact in USD.

A. New Company Code and Ledger Setup

• Define new company codes with ARS local currency (OBY6)

• Assign ledgers 0L (ARS) and 2L (USD) in FINSC_LEDGER and FINSC_CO_CODE

• Currency settings per ledger:

  • 0L: Local = ARS, C2 = Group Currency or none

  • 2L: Local = ARS, Free = USD (currency type 40)

B. Data Migration Strategy

Use SAP’s S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or classic LSMW/BDC/Batch Input where applicable.

Migrate Master Data:

• Chart of Accounts, Vendors, Customers, Cost Centers, Profit Centers, etc.

• Ensure mappings between old USD-based company codes and new ARS ones.

Migrate Open Items:

• Use Transaction FB01 or migration tool to load open items (AP, AR, GL) at historical ARS value + USD as free currency

• Use exchange rates to derive correct USD value (avoid delta in reporting)

Migrate Balances (Closing Balances):

• Upload opening balances for assets, liabilities, equity using:

  • Transaction: OASV for assets

  • Transaction: F-02 for GL balances

  • Use ARS as local currency, and manually input USD value in free currency field (BSEG-DMBE2 or DMBE3 depending on setup)

---

✅ Minimizing Data Changes in Historical USD Reports

• Old company codes (with local currency USD) can be kept for historical reporting.

• New transactional data starts from new ARS company codes.

• Use cross-company code reports to show old and new together:

  • F.01, S_ALR_*, and custom reports or Fiori tiles for multiple company codes

• Consider building a custom report that:

  • Pulls data from both old and new company codes

  • Harmonizes it in USD (based on free currency or translated ARS)

✅ Suggested Reporting Options After Transition

Report	Currency	Ledger	Description
FAGLB03	ARS / USD	0L / 2L	Balance Display
FAGLL03H	ARS / USD	All	G/L Line Item
F.01	ARS / USD	All	Financial Statement
S_ALR_87012284	ARS	0L	Local Ledger FS
Custom Report	USD	From both codes	Consolidated view
Group Reporting (S/4)	Group Currency	Any	Use for consolidated FS

---

✅ Additional Recommendations

• Document transition plan for auditors.

• Run parallel reporting for 1–2 months in both company codes.

• Validate exchange rates are consistently updated (Transaction OB08).

• Ensure proper valuation accounts are set up per valuation area.
