Setting the multi-currency ledger requirements
The bulk of the multi-currency processing options are set for a business unit, for
the entire SunSystems suite, in Business Unit
Setup.
There are, however, some options that must be set using Ledger Setup (LES) to control the Financials multi-currency processing.
Ledger Setup options allow you to determine:
- The currency value to be used for payments (this setting can be changed for each payment run).
- The currency conversion rate to be used to consolidate the ledger.
- How currency revaluation gains or losses should be posted.
- Whether or not asset register values should be maintained in second base or reporting currency.
If you are using Financials as a Broker Ledger, it is also used to determine whether the currency revaluation process includes or excludes true-rated transactions.
