Documentation
Definition
The currency translation category controls when the amount in valuation currency is translated from the amount in position currency as part of position management. The amounts are translated with the exchange rate type specified on the position date.
Use
This setting applies when translating the amount in valuation currency for operative business transactions. Operative business transactions are not dependent on a valuation area when they are entered. They include all business transactions in transaction management such as investments, borrowing, purchases, sales, or charges. The setting does not apply to derived business transactions, valuations, or accruals/deferrals.
The different settings mean the following:
- Different Valuation Currency: The amount in valuation currency is only translated if the valuation currency is different to the local currency. If the valuation currency and local currency are the same, the amount is transferred.
- Always Translate: The amount in valuation currency is always translated from the amount in position currency.
Dependencies
If you select Always Translate, the amounts in valuation currency in the corresponding valuation area may be different to the amounts in local currency in transaction management. This may be the case even if both currencies are the same. The amount in local currency is displayed in both securities account management and transaction management in the same way. The amount in parallel position management may therefore be different.
