FAGL_FC_TRANSLATION FAS52 New GL ECC 6.0

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Hello,

The new program for Translating GL Balances (FAS 52) gives the option to use different exchange rate types for balance sheet and P&L accounts, however unlike the old program, it does not let us take the adjustment to
the original account. This is due to the fact that the configuration for translation is at the FS item level instead of the individual account level. US GAAP requires the translation balances to be booked back to the
individual accounts instead of the adjustment accounts.

I can use the FAGL_FC_VAL program to translate at the individual account by using valuation area but this program does not give the option to book different exchange rate types for balance sheet and P&L account.

Any pointers or advise on this issue is highly appreciated.
Thanks
