Ledgers Affected by the Conversion

The programs for the base currency conversion convert amounts in all ledgers, except for the:

• Foreign currency ledger (CA).

  The foreign transaction amount in the CA ledger is not converted.

• Unit ledger (AU).

  Amounts in the AU ledger are not converted; however, the currency code is converted. The next paragraph briefly explains this.

  Even though unit records are not associated with currency codes, the system stores a company currency code on the unit record. When you convert the base currency of a company, the conversion program converts the amount and currency code in the actual amount ledger (AA) along with the currency code in the corresponding AU ledger. It does this so that after converting a company, both the AA and AU ledgers reflect the new company currency in the Account Balances table (F0902).

• Currency-specific ledgers.

  Ledgers that contain a currency code in the Special Handling field in UDC table 09/LT and a currency code in the Denominated Currency Code field in the Ledger Type Master Setup program (P0025).

  If you do not want the conversion programs to convert amounts in a specific ledger, assign a currency code to the ledger type. The conversion programs do not convert amounts in currency-specific ledgers.

  Note: If you do not want to convert the budget amounts to a new base currency, create a new ledger type such as BX, assign a currency code to the ledger, and enter the budget amounts. The system does not convert amounts if the ledger type has a currency code assigned to it.

• Alternate currency ledgers (XA, YA, and ZA).

  The transaction amounts for the detailed restatement ledger types XA, YA, and ZA are not converted. If you try to convert a currency-specific ledger, the system issues an error message.
