Currency Processing
For every monetary transaction extracted from the source system, the pipeline process loads the following information into the target warehouse:
-
Document currency amount
-
Local currency amount
-
Exchange rates required to convert the document currency amount into each of the three configured global currencies
For Fact tables, the warehouse stores:
-
Document Currency Amount
-
Local Currency Amount
-
Three Global Currency Amount columns (for example, GLOBAL_AMOUNT1, GLOBAL_AMOUNT2, and GLOBAL_AMOUNT3)
-
The corresponding exchange rate columns for each global currency
