FI-GL Currency translation

Overview

The program is used to translate the amounts in local or transaction currency into the relevant group currency. Using this, the groups of accounts (basic-sets) defined in advance (due to business requirements) can be translated in different ways using varying exchange rates. This means that, for example, assets can be translated using historical rates, balance sheet accounts can be translated as at a particular key date, and income statement accounts can be translated in every period. The use of different currency translation keys leads to problems: let us assume that the sum of all accounts in local currency is zero. If this account is then translated using the same key and the same exchange rate, this would represent a multiplication of every account with a constant factor, then the balance in group currency would also be zero. However varying valuation of the same account will lead to a balance that is not zero. This, in turn, means that the balance sheet will not balance and necessitate the posting of reconciling amounts.

The currency translation is carried out in two steps. First, a standard valuation of all accounts using a "reference translation" takes place (corresponding to the spot rate translation). Second, the basic sets described above with their respective currency translation keys and their assigned exchange rates are valued. A difference is formed from the results of these two procedures. These translation differences are assigned to particular items using sets are stored directly in the data base.

In addition rounding differences can occur when translating values in group currency. These prevent a zero balance in the group currency. The rounding differences are assigned to accounts and stored directly in the data base.
