SAP S/4HANA Finance 1610Oct 11, 2018 — SAP S/4HANA Finance 1610 provides users with the flexibility of using two main currencies plus eight freely definable currencies. The translation of the user-defined currencies, whether real time or not, is based on the currency configuration completed after executing transaction code FINSC_LEDGER. The eight freely definable currencies allowed by SAP S/4HANA Finance 1610 are available in all ledgers (leading, non-leading, and extension), but they are not available in the material ledger or Asset Accounting (FI-AA).
