General Configuration for Currency Translation of Opening Balances

When using currency translation code I, you can choose if the currency translation on journals should be detailed or not.

A detailed currency translation uses the rate ratio for the same journal type and journal number from the previous year. The not-detailed currency translation, which is the default option in the system, uses the rate ratio for the same journal type from the previous year. You select the detailed currency translation of I coded accounts on journals in the general configuration.

Keep the Journal Numbers

If you select the detailed currency translation it is important that you use the same journal numbers between the years. If you do not want to keep the journal numbers between the years, we recommend that you do not select the detailed currency translation.
