Use

In this step, you determine which currency you want to use as your reference currency for budgeting.

Example

The headquarters of your organization is in the United States, but you have subsidiaries in Germany and Great Britain. Headquarters controls the budget planning and therefore, the reference currency is USD. The budgets for the subsidiaries are, however, created in euro and GBP (£) respectively. When you run a consistency check, the system converts all budget amounts into USD and displays how much has been distributed and how much is still available in USD. The budget amounts for the subsidiaries are displayed in the chosen national currencies.

Activities

  1. Determine which time periods you require in your organization and in which currency they should be calculated.
  2. Enter a validity period.
  3. Enter a currency.
  4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until you have defined all necessary time periods and their respective currencies.

Note

You should not change the reference currency for a time period once you have defined it, as this could cause problems for budgets that have been created.

For example:

You have an entry in this table that is:

01/01/2000 - 12/31/9999 USD

If you have already created budgets until the end of 2003, then you should not change this entry until end of 2003. At the start of 2004, you can update the entry, as follows:

01/01/2000 - 12/31/2003 USD

01/01/2004 - 12/31/9999 USD
