CU20.1 - Currency Table Translation Rates



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).
