Assigning Values for Currency Conversion

You can enter values for your actual foreign currency data in one of two ways. You can specify the
entered amount along with a conversion rate type and date and let your General Ledger application
calculate the converted amount for you. Or, you can directly specify the entered and converted amounts
and not specify the conversion rate, type and date.

Do not enter values in the following columns for encumbrance and budget foreign currency data. Enter
values for your actual foreign currency data only in the following columns of the GL_INTERFACE
table:

System-Calculated Conversion

USER_CURRENCY_CONVERSION_TYPE: Enter a currency conversion type for your actual

foreign currency transactions. Acceptable values are User, Spot, Corporate, or any other type you
define in the Conversion Rate Types form. If you enter a rate type of User, then you must also
enter a conversion rate in the CURRENCY_CONVERSION_ RATE column. For all other
conversion types you must enter a conversion date in the CURRENCY_ CONVERSION_DATE
column.

You can find a list of valid values in the USER_CURRENCY_CONVERSION_TYPE column of

the Conversion Types table (GL_DAILY_ CONVERSION_TYPES.USER_CURRENCY_
CONVERSION_TYPE).

CURRENCY_CONVERSION_DATE: Enter a currency conversion date for your actual foreign

currency transactions. If you enter a conversion type other than User in the
USER_CURRENCY_CONVERSION_TYPE column, you must enter a value in this column. If
your conversion type is User, the default value for this column is the accounting date.

CURRENCY_CONVERSION_RATE: Enter a currency conversion rate for your actual foreign

currency transactions. If you enter a conversion type of User in the USER_CURRENCY_
CONVERSION_TYPE column, you must enter a value in this column. If you enter a conversion
type other than USER, do not enter anything in this column.

User-Entered Conversion

ACCOUNTED_CR: Enter a converted credit amount for your actual foreign currency
transactions. Enter a value for the ACCOUNTED_DR or the ACCOUNTED_CR column in a
given row, but not both values in one row. You must enter a value for ENTERED_CR if you
entered a value for ACCOUNTED_CR.
