Documentation
Definition
Number periods to be used as the calculation base for the translation timeframe.
Use
Choose this option if currency translation should include only the specified number of periods, rather than including the data records of all past periods (as in cumulative translation).
For example, by specifying a maximum number of periods, you can have the system retranslate only the values of the current year, but not the values of the prior year (which are reflected by the balance carryforward).
Dependencies
Example
The following changes in values might result if you were to use a translation timeframe "Number of Periods Included: 12" with monthly consolidation:
Period Value Total Exch Value Total
in LC in LC Rate in GC in GC
000 1000 1000 -- 500 500
001 500 1500 0.5 250 750
002 200 1700 0.6 170 920
003 300 2000 0.7 280 1200
Without the balances carried forward (period 000) the result would be identical to cumulative translation.
In this case, however, in period 003 the year-to-date value in group currency is computed as follows:
500 + ( 500 + 200 + 300 ) * 0.7 = 1200
In contrast, cumulative translation computes as follows:
2000 * 0.7 = 1400
