Extended Dimensions

If there are different extended dimension levels used on the opening balance account compared to the accounts included in the closing balance, summation is done to the extended dimension level of the opening balance account. If, on the other hand, the opening balance account uses a more detailed extended dimension level than the accounts included in the closing balance, no matching is possible and the previous year’s closing rate will be used instead (for I coded accounts). Accounts with currency translation code C will not be converted at all.

Rules

Table 1. Matching rules for extended dimensions
Closing Balance (CB)	Opening Balance (OB)	Matching
With the extended dimension.	Without the extended dimension.	The details from the CB are summed up to the level of the OB.
With a different extended dimension compared to the OB.	With a different extended dimension compared to the CB.	No match, the closing balance rate from the previous year is used instead (code I). If the extended dimension level is more detailed for the accounts included in the closing balance than for the opening balance account, matching is possible since the details from the closing balance is summed up to the level of the opening balance.

With the same extended dimension as the OB.	With the same extended dimension as the CB.	Match, amount (code C) or rate ratio (code I) from the previous year is used.
Without the extended dimension.	With the extended dimension.	No match, the closing balance rate from the previous year is used instead (code I). For more information, see Special Rules for Currency Translation Code C
