Internal currency initialization of period totals ("history") tables

Period totals data and statistics data are also converted to the new currency during internal currency initialization. This is to avoid that amounts in the new home currency and in the previous home currency are mixed if some of the period-totals data is presented after the conversion and when the statistics are used for analyses.

If you have doubts about the correctness of the period totals and opening balances tables, you can use the Rebuild Opening Balance/History from Transactions (tfgld3203m000) session before you carry out the internal currency initialization.

After the internal currency initialization, you must use the Rebuild Opening Balance/History from Transactions (tfgld3203m000) session to include all postings due to rounding differences in the history. You can use this session at any time after the internal currency initialization, but it is advised to do it shortly afterwards to avoid unexpected rounding differences in the period totals.

You must also check the instructions present in the Recurring Transaction Instructions Recurring Transaction Instructions (tfgld1107m000) session for possible unbalances caused by the rounding of amounts.

If LN detects an imbalance in the transaction history, the following message for the history tables tfgld201-206 appears in the error log of the conversion run:

• Rounding difference too large in: company / year / period / period type

If the error message appears for the tfgld106 Finalized Transactions table, the chart of accounts is already out of balance. This situation cannot be solved. Running the Rebuild Opening Balance/History from Transactions (tfgld3203m000) session cannot repair the balance. In this case, contact your LN implementation consultant.
