Hi,

Is there any way to change the reporting currency assigned in the Ledger? I cannot edit it since it is grayed out. See below screenshot.

 

Regards,

Kristine

    RE: Changing reporting currency in AX 2012 R2

    Hi Andre,

    I am trying to change my clients company accounting currency from USD to GBP and I am getting following error. Can you help. I have checked this perticular voucher in my system and it relates  opening balances to 2014 posted into the system on 31/12/2013 to run opening process.All the lines in this journal have the same voucher number and the lines have different currencies which balanced based on accounting currency.Below is the error.

    Please suggest

    Voucher GnrJrl00000032 is already used as at date 31/12/2013.

    The transactions on voucher GnrJrl00000032 do not balance as per 31/12/2013. (accounting currency: 0.00 - reporting currency: 27,186.74)

    Voucher GnrJrl00000032, date 31/12/2013, account 8063, transaction currency amount 0.00, accounting currency amount -43,900.38, reporting currency amount 0.00, currency USD, text

    Since we aregetting our error when trying to receive pruchase orders, I found that we can prevent the posting error by setting up an accrual account in Inventory management - Setup - Posting - Posting, select the Purchase Order tab and configure needed account(s) in the "Purchase, accrual" parameter.

    Accounting will have to revise this setup.

    @Ayesha: It is about having the previous fiscal year closed; not the current.

    Note that I did not talk about closing the periods, but closing the year. Separate from the periods the fiscal year has also a status.

    Hi André,

    Yes I know how to close the periods, I just don't know how come the reporting currency wasnt' configure on this test server. Our development server has the configuration but it seems nobody remembers setting it. Annoying point is, no posting is allowed if the reporting currency isn't defined... Seems like AX should prevent this before hand!!!

    Closing the periods didnt solve the problem anyway and it was a pain to reactivate them as it is not allowed, so I changed the update code on the ledger period table to open the periods I had just closed.

    Regards,

    Eric

    Well, the error is pointing out to previous periods, not actuals. Putting periods of this year on hold shouldn't resolve this issue.

    In our case, like in most cases, the previous year is closed.  To be sure we ran a second time a closing of the year, but unfortunately we still hit the same error...

    HI Andre,

    Does it mean that I need to wait till the period gets close ? In my case it is 30/06/2015.

    Can I close this period temporarily so that I could just assign a reporting currency in ledger?    

    Regards,

    Hi Ayesha, Eric,

    If you go to General ledger > Setup > Ledger, you can click a button Ledger calendar. Per year you can see the status just above the grid with the periods. This status must be closed for the previous year. The status can be open in your environment. Ensure this field has the status closed prior to running this conversion.

    Hi Veronika Filonenko,

    Thanks for your reply. I have done this and it is not asking for accounts any more however, this time the system is throwing an error. "All financial periods of the previous financial years must be closed"
