Documentation

Definition

If you choose this option, currency translation checks if a reduction in the item's value occurred in the period. An average exchange rate is then calculated for the values of the prior period(s), which is then taken for the currency translation.

Example

The item x is observed:

Period    LC    LC cum.    GC cum.    Exchange Rate    Average Exchange Rate

001    1000    1000    1500    1.5    1.5

002    1000    2000    3500 (a)    2.0    1.75 (b)

003    1000-    1000    1750 (c)        1.75

Explanations:

LC - value in local currency
cum. - cumulative
GC - value in group currency

(a) GC cum. = 1500 + 2000
(b) Average exchange rate = GC cum. / LC cum. = (1500 + 2000) / 2000 = 1.75
(c) GC cum. = 3500 - 1000 * 1.75
