BPC 10.1 (SP05) Problem with Currency Conversion

[former_member232600]

Hi Experts, we have a problem with FX Restatement package. We trying translate LC to USD. After translating we don'thave any data on AUDITTRAIL with attribute 'DATA SOURCE TYPE' = "A", and attribute 'IS TRANLATED' = "Y", but on on AUDITTRAIL with attribute 'DATA SOURCE TYPE' = "M", and attribute 'IS TRANLATED' = "Y" - all work is fine.

From page 6:

"Note: Only the member with DATASRC_TYPE <> A will be converted"

And strange to see: Parent Audit ID: C_OTH - Other manual ... and children - type A - automatic!

This was sets up by integrators, and our colleagues do not particularly understand what is happening in the system.

Can you tell why such a rule that only the member with DATASRC_TYPE <> "A" will be converted?

Our colleagues run consolidation (+ busines rules, adjustments and elimination) - and the data appear on this audits with atributes DATASRC_TYPE = "A". After This they want to convert the currency from rub to dollars.
What can you think of in this case?

"After This they want to convert the currency from rub to dollars." - strange idea!

First you run Currency conversion to the required currencies, then you perform consolidation!

Well in order to recalculate already consolidated data.

My supervisor said this: For example it is not clear to me why I can not count the result of my consolidation in another currency, suddenly I need to recalculate it and hand over not only in one currency and it is logical that when consolidating I will have automatic audits, why can not I count them?

What in such cases do or such cases were not in your practice? Do not start duplicate audits?

Please don't reinvent the wheel!

First you convert LC values to the required set of currencies (RUB,USD...).

Then you perform consolidation with all required calculations.

It's incorrect from the finance point of view to simply convert consoldation results to some currency.
