Deviation in reporting currency between totals table and line items
in documents of level 1 (e.g., standardizing entries) through
translation with the RGCUMR00 report.
The following example should explain the problem:
Abbreviations: Itm = item or account LC = local currency
TrT = translation type RC = reporting currency
TT = totals table LI = line item
TT LI
Period 11: stand. entry 1 : Item LC TrT Rate RC RC
1042 1000 1 0.65 650 650
2044 1000- 5 0.65 650- 650-
TT LI
Period 12: stand. entry 2: Item LC TrT Rate RC RC
1042 1000 1 0.70 750 <> 700 !!!!!
2044 1000- 5 0.70 700 700
o TrT=1 forces an increase by 50 in period 12 to generate
the total value of 1400 (=2000 * 0.7) on Item 1042 as accumulated value. Item 1042 is translated in the document with the current
exchange rate and the total of both documents thus deviates from
the totals table.
o The current release status generates a zero balance for local and
reporting currencies also after translation of the documents.
Effects of a possible changeover:
o If the deviation between the totals table and line items were
corrected by placing 750 in RC in document 2, then the document
in reporting currency would no longer yield a zero balance in
many cases.
o In addition, it would be very difficult to reconstruct which
translation rate was used in the document translation.
o For compensation reasons, the local and reporting currencies
might even have a different +/- sign when translation type 1
is used.
The solution used to date will be retained for the reasons mentioned above.
