Rounding Problems
Rounding problems may also occur when using
currency translation code D, if you, for example, spread a yearly
budget over the months.
In the next example, the local amount, 120, is spread over the months with an increase of 10 per month. The average period rate is 7.95 each month. The account used is a main account with no decimals defined.
| Period | LC | LE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0301AC | 10 | 80 | (Calculated as 10 * 7.95 = 79.5 = 80) |
| 0302AC | 20 | 160 | (Calculated as: 80 + ((20 - 10) * 7.95) = 160) |
| 0303AC | 30 | 240 | |
| 0304AC | 40 | 320 | |
| etc. | etc. | etc. | |
| 0312AC | 120 | 960 |
If currency translation code M with average year rate 7.95 is used instead, the translated value as per 0312AC is 954, calculated as 120 * 7.95 = 954. The rounding difference when using currency translation code D in the example is 6.
