Specifications
Currency Translation Codes U, V, X and Z
If there is a specification for an account in the main form (balance sheet or income statement), you can define the accounts so that you can run the currency translation on the accounts in the specification, then copying the converted amounts to the account in the main form. This is defined when you create the specification accounts and in the Reconciliation between Account 1 text box enter a reference to the account in the main form, which the converted values will be copied to. This should, however, already have been entered to ensure proper reconciliation between the accounts. In the main form, the currency translation code for the account must be U, V, X or Z, which means that if the specification accounts are reported for the present period, the converted value is copied from these accounts to the account in the main form. If there are no values on the specification accounts, the account will instead be converted at the closing rate (U), the average rate (V), the average period rate (Z) or not at all (X).
Integrated Accounts
If you are working with integrated accounts, that is, where the same account is used in several forms, the account will automatically obtain its value in the converted currency using the currency translation codes for the account or summation rules. Because of this, the currency translation codes U, V, X or Z are never needed for the integrated accounts.
Extended Dimensions
This method also works for accounts divided into extended dimensions, such as products or markets. Reconciliation is defined from the account divided into extended dimensions with the highest level of detail, with a reference to an account with less details.
Summation Accounts
You can only use conversion codes U, V, X or Z for detail accounts, which means that you cannot copy converted values to a summation account.
