Understanding the Conversion Workbench
When you run the conversion workbench, you run it by conversion plan, and the system converts the records for the companies that are defined in that plan. Some clients set up only one conversion plan, whereas others set up multiple plans. Clients with multiple plans must run the conversion workbench one plan at a time and, upon successful completion, delete the conversion log before running the next plan.
Review this list for information about what you can expect while the base currency conversion is being processed:
An hourglass button appears on the Euro Conversion Workbench form (WP98413D) and remains there while the conversion programs are being processed.
You cannot perform any functions on the Euro Conversion Workbench form while the conversion programs are being processed.
You cannot run any other application programs while the conversion programs are being processed.
You can track the progress of the conversion programs by completing one of these tasks:
Review the conversion status in the Table Conversion/Merge Log program (P984052).
To access this program from the Windows environment, select Table Conversion/Merge Log from the Advanced Operations menu (GH9611). Alternatively, type P984052 in the Fast Path field.
Work with the Submitted Reports program (P986116).
To access this tool, select Submitted Reports from the System Administration Tools menu (GH9011). Alternatively, type P986116 in the Fast Path field.
Upon completion of each conversion program, the system displays an online report that indicates exceptions (errors).
If no exceptions exist, the online report indicates header report information only and is blank.
Refer to this list throughout the base currency conversion.
