Understanding Additional Conversion Programs

After you run and successfully complete the conversion tasks and the ordered conversion programs, you must run the additional conversion programs. The additional conversion programs are designed to run separately from the base currency conversion so that you can control the exchange rate and the records to convert.

For example, the conversion workbench does not convert amounts on records if certain fields are not in a table or if certain values on a record are invalid or blank. To convert these amounts, you must run several additional conversion programs. If records do not include a company or business unit, the additional conversion programs assume that the associated amounts are in the domestic currency of the company.

Each time you run an additional conversion program, you specify a conversion plan name in the processing option. The additional conversion program uses the exchange rate assigned to that plan to convert amounts for all additional conversion programs except the Price Variable Conversion program (R894075EB), which uses the exchange rate from the F0015 table. Some of the additional conversion programs also have a processing option that enables you to select the from currency code in which to convert records. For all additional conversion programs, you can also use data selection to specify records to convert.

Important: Do not run an additional conversion program multiple time s over the same data. The additional conversion programs convert amounts every time you run them, regardless of whether the amounts have already been converted.

The additional conversion programs are for these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems from Oracle:

  • Localization

  • Expense Management

  • Real Estate Management

  • Customer Relationship Management

  • Sales Order Management

  • Advanced Pricing

  • Procurement

  • Grower Management

  • Operational Sourcing

  • Blend Management

  • Agreement Management

  • Advanced Transportation Management

  • Service Billing and Contract Billing

  • Equipment and Plant Management

  • Product Data Management

  • Contract Management

  • Stock Valuation

Run only the additional conversion programs that apply to the systems that you use.

The additional conversion programs are described in a checklist. The checklist has one check-off (√) column to indicate that the task is complete.

Note: Run the additional conversion programs and complete all remaining tasks in this guide in the test environment first, correcting any data issues in both the test and production environments. Later, when you are satisfied with the results of the conversion in the test environment, complete all of the tasks again in the production environment and go live.
