XA, YA, and ZA Examples: Foreign Currency Transactions Before and After the Conversion

The base currency conversion converts foreign currency transactions differently, depending on whether the original transaction is in the currency of the new base currency.

Review these examples to understand how the conversion converts and updates the transactions in the F0911 table:

  • Foreign transactions that are not in the currency of the new base currency.

  • Foreign transactions that are in the currency of the new base currency.

The examples provide amounts before and after the conversion for the alternate currency ledgers (XA, YA, and ZA) and the AA and CA ledgers. In the examples, a company with a base currency of the Canadian dollar (CAD) converts to the U.S. dollar (USD).

Note: For illustration purposes, the tables in the examples provide amounts and currency codes before and after the base currency conversion. As you review the examples, remember that the conversion does not change the actual currency code in the CRCD field of the F0911 table, but instead retains the currency code of the original transaction.
