CU20.1 - Currency Table Translation Rates

**Form Purpose
Use Currency Table Translation Rates (CU20.1) to define and maintain
translation rates for a currency relationship and translation code in a
currency table.

**More Information
Translation rates are used to translate the balances of one company's base
currency to the base currency of another company for reporting and
consolidation. This process is commonly performed once per period, after
individual companies complete period closing.

Translation rates defined on this form are used for all companies associated
with the currency table. You can use CU20.3 (Company Translation Rates) to
define overriding translation rates for a specific company.

To define and maintain translation rates for multiple currency relationships
and translation codes for a currency table for a period, choose the Period
button to open the Currency Table Period Rate Entry subform.

You must select Yes in the Currency Translation field in the Currency form
tab on GL10.1 (Company) to translate rates for a company.

NOTE If the currency relationship displays as triangulated (as is the case
for Euro-bound currencies), you cannot assign a  translation rate to that
relationship. Instead,  you must assign a translation  rate between each of
the currencies and the  triangulation currency (in this case, the Euro). To
define a currency  relationship as triangulated, use CU02.1 (Currency
Relationship).
