Understanding How to Review Accounts In Domestic, Foreign, and As If Currencies

You can review amounts for a general ledger account in both the domestic and foreign currencies a currency other than the currency in which the amounts were actually entered. For example, you can review amounts in the Japanese yen as if they were entered in the U.S. dollar or you can review amounts in the euro as if they were entered in Canadian dollars, and so on.

You use these general ledger inquiry programs to review domestic, foreign, and as if currency amounts:

• Account Ledger Inquiry (P09200).

• Account Inquiry by Object Account (P09201).

• Account Inquiry by Category Code (P09202).

The Account Ledger Inquiry, Account Inquiry by Object Account, and Account Inquiry by Category Code programs allow you to review amounts from the F0911 table in two ledgers, such as the domestic (AA) and foreign (CA) currency ledgers, at the same time. If you use detailed currency restatement processing, you can review the alternate currency ledger (XA) used for reporting alongside the AA ledger.

Depending on how you set a processing option for these programs, you can review amounts in one of these formats:

Format	Description
One-Ledger Format	Displays amounts for one ledger only. Use this format to view: Domestic (AA) or foreign (CA) amounts only. As if currency amounts for the domestic or foreign currency. You select a menu option that acts like a toggle between the domestic or foreign amounts and the as if amounts.
Two-Ledger Format	Displays amounts for two ledgers. Use this format to view: Domestic and foreign currency amounts at the same time. Domestic and as if amounts at the same time. You can view only as if amounts associated with Ledger Type 1.
