Understanding Postconversion Integrity Reports

Most of the integrity issues that appear on the postconversion integrity reports are minor rounding differences that occur when you convert from the base currency to the new base currency. Compare the postconversion integrity reports to the preconversion integrity reports to ensure that the conversion results are accurate.

Run the postconversion integrity reports in proof mode first, and then run them in final (update) mode. Final mode was created especially for the base currency conversion and is used to update any minor rounding differences that occur during the actual conversion.

Final mode:

  • Tests the integrity of data between tables with dependent relationships.

  • Locates the difference between the tables.

  • Creates adjusting entries for batches that are out of balance and corrects any integrity issues caused by the conversion. (You can use the data selection to exclude records in which you do not want to create adjusting entries.)

Run integrity reports only for those systems that the company uses.

Note: The postconversion integrity reports are described in a checklist. The checklist has one check-off (√) column to indicate that the task is complete. Run the postconversion integrity reports and complete all remaining tasks in this guide in the test environment first, and then correct 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.
