Management Reporter - Translated Begin Balance

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

Is there any detailed documentation on how the "Translated Beginning Balance" option works for accounts that have a "Historical" translation type? I have a GL Account (Retained Earnings) which is set to "Historical", but does not pull into the report. If i changed this to have a "Current" translation type, the balance is pulled into the report. My guess is that it has something to do with the option to enter translated beginning balances, but did not see any details on this.

Thanks,

Sandeep.

According to the documentation

To enter translated beginning balance information:

, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP

menu>>Tools>>Routines>>Financial>>Currency Translation.

Then select a year (only open and historical years are available)

Then select the translation Type (only accounts with beginning balances that match the currency translation type will display.)

To update multiple accounts with a single exchaqnge rate, enter the exchange rate that will be used in calculating the translated db or cr.

Mark the check box by the account numbers in the scrolling window you want to translate the balances for.

choose Calculate to calculate the translated amounts for the selected accounts using the exchange rate.

You can enter a different exchange rate for an account in the scolling window to translate amounts

The documentation on this is through a manual called the CURRENCY TRANSLATION SUPPLEMENT. I only found out about it by going through the Management Reporter blog.
