Sizing Impacts on the F0911 and F0902 Tables

For companies that have transactions in the domestic currency only and that plan to convert their base currency, the conversion has a sizing impact on the F0911 and F0902 tables. Domestic-only transactions do not contain a foreign amount and, therefore, do not have a corresponding CA record. If no CA record exists in the F0911 and F0902 tables, the conversion program creates one based on the AA record. If the company has a large number of domestic-only transactions, this impacts the size of the tables. For domestic-only transactions, you can expect the number of records in the F0911 to double after running the conversion and the records in the F0902 table to double after running the repost.

Use these formulas to calculate sizing impacts:

  • (Sizing impact on F0911 table) = [(number of domestic-only transaction records à F0911 table size) + (F0911 table size before conversion)]

  • (Sizing impact on the F0902 table) = [(number of domestic-only balance records à F0902 table size) + (F0902 table size before conversion)]

  • (The number of domestic-only records) = (total of AA records) - (CA records).
