Guidelines for Amount, Exchange Rate, and Currency Mode Fields for Batch Journal Entries

Observe these guidelines to determine how to enter amounts, exchange rates, and currency modes for domestic and foreign transactions when processing batch journal entries in a multicurrency environment:

Type of Transaction	Description
Domestic	If the currency code of the transaction (as identified by the value in VNCRCD of the first journal entry line) is equal to the currency code of the company, the transaction is a domestic transaction. Enter the transaction amount in the Amount field (VNAA) and enter D in the Currency Mode field (VNCRRM). Do not enter an exchange rate.
Foreign	If the currency code of the transaction (as identified by the value in VNCRCD of the first journal entry line) is different from the currency code of the company, the transaction is a foreign transaction. Enter the transaction amount in the Currency Amount field (VNACR) and enter F in the Currency Mode field (VNCRRM). The system calculates the domestic amount, based on the exchange rate (VNCRR).
Domestic side of a foreign transaction	If the currency code of the transaction (as identified by the value in VNCRCD of the first journal entry line) is different from the currency code of the company, but the Amount field (VNAA) contains an amount, the transaction is a foreign transaction. Enter D in the Currency Mode field (VNCRRM). The system calculates the foreign amount, based on the exchange rate (VNCRR).
Foreign and domestic transactions using currency mode 3	If you know both the foreign and domestic amounts, you can bypass system calculations by entering 3 in the Currency Mode field (VNCRRM) and entering amounts in both the Amount field (VNAA) and the Currency Amount field (VNACR). If you leave the Exchange Rate field (VNCRR) blank, the system calculates the exchange rate, based on the two amounts.
