This can be done in the SAP system by going to the IMG (Implementation Guide) and selecting “Define Currencies”. Once you have defined the currencies, you can then assign a currency code to each one. This code will be used when entering or displaying amounts in that currency.

    When entering amounts in different currencies, it is important to make sure that you are using the correct currency code for each one. This will ensure that the amounts are displayed correctly in reports and other documents.
