Understanding External Exchange Rate Revisions

After you upload exchange rates from an external source into the F0015Z1 table, you might have to add, change, or delete specific records before you process them.

To revise unprocessed records, you use the External Exchange Rates Revisions program (P0015Z1). This program accesses records in the F0015Z1 workfile based on these key fields:

  • User ID

  • Batch Number

  • Transaction Number

  • Line Number

All key fields, except Line Number, appear on the External Exchange Rates Revisions form. The Line Number field, which is a unique number for each record, appears only in the F0015Z1 workfile.

You can also use the Revise External Currency Exchange Rates Revisions program to create a new batch of exchange rates manually in the F0015Z1 table.

The system does not validate exchange rates in the F0015Z1 workfile. Instead, it validates them when you process records from the F0015Z1 workfile into the F0015 table.

Note: If you uploaded external exchange rates for the wrong effective date, upload them again using the correct effective date. Then, if necessary, use the Review External Exchange Rates Revisions form to revise any rates manually.
