Currency Conversion Process
In most implementations, the source system provides only the Document Currency Amount, which is the default input for currency processing.
When only the document currency amount is available:
-
The source adapter identifies the corresponding Local Currency Code through lookups based on the source system configuration.
-
The extract mappings provide the load mappings with:
-
Document Currency Amount
-
Document Currency Code
-
Local Currency Code
-
-
The load mappings calculate the Local Currency Amount using the applicable exchange rates.
-
The load mappings retrieve the configured Global Currency definitions and their corresponding exchange rates.
-
The Document Currency Amount is converted into each of the three configured Global Currencies, and the converted amounts are loaded into the warehouse.
