About Currency Revaluation and Translation

Currency Revaluation and Translation can be run independently or at the same time depending on your requirements.

Note:
You should only run Translation independently if the document and home currencies are the same, for example, EUR and EUR. If you have documents in currencies other than the home currency, you must also run Revaluation.

Currency Revaluation

You might want to perform a currency revaluation (CRV) in the following situations:

• At period end. You might want to revalue your income statement to eliminate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations.
• At year end. You might want to revalue the company’s balance sheet so that it values the assets and liabilities of the company at the exchange rates applicable on the balance sheet date.

You can revalue special periods, with some restrictions:

• If you are revaluing income statement data, only the opening period Period 000 can be revalued.
• If you are revaluing balance sheet data, both Period 000 and 100 can be revalued.

Currency Translation

You might want to perform currency translation in the following situations:

• At period or year end you need to consolidate and report your financial results in a presentation currency i.e. a currency that is not your home currency.
• You are part of a Group of Companies who consolidate and report their financial results in a common presentation currency.

Currency Revaluation and Translation Process

This is the CRV process:

1. Provide the selection criteria.
2. Decide if you want to perform Revaluation, Translation or both.
3. Generate the CRV documents.
4. [Optional] Review the generated documents.
5. Post the documents to create the revaluation transactions. This can be done at the same time as Generate or after a review.

Depending on your selection criteria, one or more CRV documents are generated. You can identify all the documents generated from a single revaluation process by their group name and description. See About CRV Groups for more information.

The Currency Revaluations tab displays a home page that lets you quickly create and locate your CRV documents.

See the related tasks and Currency Revaluation and Translation Example for more information about performing a currency revaluation.

Notes

• Do not post any documents to a period that is being revalued. Wait for the whole currency revaluation process and all related batch jobs to complete before continuing to post documents.
• You cannot perform a CRV in multi-company modeState in which the current user has more than one current company selected. Data entry is disabled until the user returns to single-company mode. Enable multi-company mode when you want to generate reports that contain data from more than one company. or single-currency mode.
• Revaluation affects the home currencyThe main working currency of the current company. only.
• Translation affects the dual currencyThe currency in which your corporate headquarters reports financial statements. This defaults to, and is normally the same as, the corporate currency. only.
• When transactionA record created when documents are posted to the general ledger. Transactions must balance (sum to zero) in home, dual, and document currency. lines are selected for revaluation, only those with a general ledger account set to "Allow Revaluation" are retrieved.
• If the selected analysis level is "Summary Level", the balancing entry transaction line items posted to the Revaluation Unrealized Gains/Losses GLA or Currency Translation Adjustment GLA are grouped by GLA and Dimension.
• If the selected analysis level is "Detail Level", you can choose to group the balancing entry transaction line items posted to the Revaluation Unrealized Gains/Losses GLA or Currency Translation Adjustment GLA by standard analysis fields (Account, Product, Bank Account, Tax Code). You can also choose to group the balancing entries and the CRV summaries by custom fields set up for sub-analysis mappingMapping of custom fields at header and line level for the purpose of profitability reporting.. See Managing Sub-Analysis Mappings for details of the setup required.
• The revaluation reserve account (Revaluation Unrealized Gains/Losses GLA) cannot be revalued, but entering a reversing period when creating your revaluations eliminates the need to revalue your reserve.
• The revaluation reserve account (Revaluation Unrealized Gains/Losses GLA) can be translated if you have selected the Unrealized Gauns/Losses GLA checkbox on the GLA.
