As If Currency Processing

When you set up column definitions, you can specify whether to enable the display of the data in an as if currency when you generate the records to view. You can enable the as if currency processing for these column types:

  • Non-JA Budget Amount Ledgers

  • Billing Amount

    Only certain billing amount options enable you to use as if currency processing. For example, you cannot enable as if currency processing for billing amounts for units.

  • Formula

  • Ledger Type

    Though you can select the As If Currency Enabled check box for any ledger type, the system does not apply as if currency processing to ledgers set up as unit ledgers.

On the Work with Project Status Inquiry form, you specify the as if currency code and the currency exchange rate date. When you generate the records to view, the system applies the exchange rate for the currency code and displays amounts for the enabled columns in the Project Status Inquiry form in the as if currency.

You can convert the threshold amounts in visual alert columns to an as if currency by specifying the as if currency in the Threshold Currency Code field on the Project Status Inquiry Column Definitions form. See Setting Up Columns with Visual Alerts.

Note: To use multicurrency processing, you must enable multicurrency processing in the General Ledger constants for your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system.
