As the name suggests group currency is used to enable cross-company postings in controlling for company codes which use different company code currencies
Hard currency
Hard currency is the currencies based on country of the Company code therefore hard currencies are the same for all Company codes defined in the one country. The configuration for hard currency is performed at the country level
