Business Unit Setup - Value 2 Entries

Value 2 properties refer to the second of the four currency values that can be held on a transaction. This is the transaction currency and, as such, is not a fixed currency. The value 2 currency on a transaction may vary from one transaction to the next, so the currency code is identified on the transaction itself, for example it is entered in Ledger Entry (LEN).

Other Currency Name

A generic name given to the Value 2 currency value entered on posting transactions. For example, Transactions Currency, or Original Currency.

Other Currency Post Rule
The posting rule that controls whether or not a transaction currency value is required on each ledger transaction. Three options are available:
- Undefined (or blank) - this option prevents a transaction currency value being entered.
- Only present if entered - this option allows a transaction currency to be entered manually on a transaction. However, the value is optional, so if a transaction currency code is not entered a value is not calculated.
- Calculated if not entered - this option means the transaction currency value is mandatory. If the transaction currency code is entered, the transaction value is calculated from one of the other currency values entered (depending on the pivot currency). If a transaction currency code is not entered, the base amount and currency code are copied into the transaction currency amount and code details.
Uwaga: If currency adjustments need to be made in this currency alone, these posting rules can be overridden on a journal type.

Other Currency Am'nt Balancing
You may wish to force the transaction currency values on the transactions in a journal to balance, that is to net to zero. Sometimes, the values may not be exactly balanced due to conversion rounding errors. This option determines whether the transactions must balance, and if so how an imbalance is corrected. Two options are available:
- None - the currency values do not need to balance.
- Manual - the user must manually balance the transaction currency values in the journal.
