When executing a drill-down report, you can translate the currency columns into other currencies under Settings -> Currency. To do this, you must enter a "currency translation type" which you can define here. The translation date is important for currency translation types. Here, you can choose between three options:

  • the current date
  • a date defined here
  • a date resulting from a characteristic value.

These characteristics may be the fixed characteristics "Period" and "Fiscal year" included in every aspect, or other characteristics (of type "D" (date)) defined by yourself. You must create translation types if a currency translation is to be carried out based on this characteristic.

Actions

You create a translation type by selecting an exchange rate type, with either a normal or inverse exchange rate and either a fixed or variable translation date.

A currency translation type with an inverse exchange rate is useful if the amounts have already been translated and the original values are likely to be displayed again in a drill-down report.

Example

You have, for example, maintained the following exchange rates:

DEM     USD     1.60

USD     DEM     0.63

When translating from USD to DEM using an inverse exchange rate, the exchange rate 1/1.60 = 0.625 is used and not the exchange rate 0.63.
