Posting non-base currency journal entries

Posting non-base currency journal entries is similar to posting base currency journal entries. You can post entries multiple times during an accounting period, but ensure to post all entries before you close an accounting period.

See the information about posting journal entries in the General Ledger User Guide.

  1. Access Journal Posting (GL190).
  2. Post the entries.

    All amounts posted are converted to the company base currency in the GLAMOUNTS (UNIX/Windows) or DBGLGAM (IBM i) file.

    Subsystem transactions are transferred to the General Ledger with non-base currency amounts associated with them. Depending on the journal hold procedures being used, the subsystem entries will be posted when you run this program.

    If your company is set up for currency ledger, then the applicable undistributed retained earnings is calculated for each transaction currency.
