Documentation
Definition
The translation process specifies the context in which the currency translation takes place.
Use
The different processes are:
CFGEN Generation of Cash Flow (Planned Records)
You use this process when cash flow records are generated. The system then reads an exchange rate for this process using the rule that was entered for the process.
The system does not save translated amounts for cash flow records. Therefore, this process is always called in simulation mode. There is no currency translation for actual records. During periodic posting, the translated values are stored in the cash flow, and these values are used when it is displayed again.
DEFAULT Default Process
The translation date is read for a given process only if there are no settings for the process (the process that requires the exchange rate).
Depending on the context, the setting can be relevant with or without the Simulation indicator being set.
REAJ Adjustment of Conditions
When conditions are adjusted, and the amount of the adjustment or increase has a different currency than the condition being adjusted, then a currency translation has to be performed during the condition adjustment. Since rent adjustments are normally made for the future, an exchange rate should be used that is valid on a defined date, such as the beginning of the month that is two months before the valid-from date of the new condition.
Depending on whether the adjustment is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator.
RECOCFPLAN CO Planning - P Records in Cash Flow
CO plan values are updated in local currency only.
If you use the Copy Cash Flow to Plan planning function, then you have to enter the exchange rate here that you want to use.
Depending on whether CO planning is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator.
REISCD Corresp./Reporting for Conditions
In reporting and in correspondence for conditions, the local currency amount can be displayed as additional information. Here you can specify the exchange rate that is used for this currency translation.
The process always determines the date for determining the exchange rate in simulation mode.
REISCF Corresp./Reporting for Cash Flow
In reporting and in correspondence for planned cash flow records, the local currency amount can be displayed as additional information. Here you can specify the exchange rate that is used for this currency translation. In the case of actual records, the system does not translate the currency. Instead, it displays the local currency amount that was valid at the time of posting.
The process always determines the date for determining the exchange rate in simulation mode.
REIV Invoicing
You can create invoices on the basis of planned cash flow records. The system can also print the local currency amount on these invoices. Specify here how the exchange rate for this currency translation is determined. Choose a setting here so that it comes as close as possible to the exchange rate used for posting. Printing invoices on the basis of the cash flow for foreign currency contracts, which were posted with the exchange rate valid at the time, is not recommended.
Depending on whether the creation of the invoice is simulated or executed in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator.
REPP Periodic Posting
You specify here how the system determines the exchange rate during periodic posting. The exchange rate you enter here is relevant for all postings that are generated directly from conditions or planned cash flow records.
Depending on whether the periodic posting is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator.
REPPCRMEMO Periodic Posting - Credit Memo and
REPPFUP Periodic Posting Receivable
During periodic posting of credit memos or subsequent receivables, you can specify here if the system uses the same exchange rate that was used for posting the originating cash flow records. Or you can specify that the exchange rate is determined "normally," for instance, based on the posting date.
Example:
Contract currency: USD, local currency: EUR
Basic rent of USD 1000 was posted on January 1, 2005.
The exchange rate for the posting date was used, so that USD 1000 was converted to EUR 900 in local currency.
The condition was changed retroactively effective on January 1, 2005 to USD 1100, resulting in a subsequent receivable of USD 100.
The exchange rate on the posting date is 1 : 0.8.
If you entered that the subsequent receivable is posted with the original exchange rate, then the amount of the subsequent receivable in euros is EUR 90. On the other hand, if the exchange rate for the posting date is used, then the amount of the subsequent receivable is EUR 80.
There are two separate processes, REPPCRMEMO and REPPFUP, for credit memos and subsequent receivables, so you can handle them separately.
Depending on whether the periodic posting is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator.
REVP Periodic Posting for Vacancy
This process is similar to the REPP process, but it relates to periodic posting for vacancy.
REVPCRMEMO Per. Posting: Vacancy Credit and
REVPFUP Per. Posting: Vacancy Receivable
These processes are similar to REPPCRMEMO and REPPFUP, but relate to periodic posting for vacancy.
RESC Service Charge Settlement
This exchange rate is used to translate the results of settlement (receivable posting). The other postings of service charge settlement are made in local currency.
Depending on whether the service charge settlement is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator. For Simulation with Subsequent Actual Settlement mode, the settings are used where the Simulation indicator is not set.
RESR Sales-Based Settlement
This exchange rate is used to translate the results of settlement (receivable posting).
Depending on whether the sales-based settlement is executed in simulation mode or in update mode, the settings are used with or without the Simulation indicator. For Simulation with Subsequent Actual Settlement mode, the settings are used where the Simulation indicator is not set.
Dependencies
Only certain translation base dates can be used for a given translation process.
