We are going to incorporate a newly acquired company into our environment in GP 2018. Is there a way to match the currency index from the acquired company to the currency indexes for the same currencies in our existing environment.
This company will have its own DB/Company. We're looking to ensure the currency indexes are consistent for all companies that comprise our environment.
What exactly you mean by FX currency index?
If you mean currency index (CURRNIDX) , then first you need to check what indexes you have and what you have to bring, possible but need to verify things before updating indexes.
Christopher,
is this new company coming from another GP setup ?
I've had to work on a case where a customer had companies from 2 different instances of GP running on 2 different versions (2010 & 2015) and they wanted to merge everything into the latest GP 2018 at the time.
The challenge was to make sure all the Fx rates for the 2015 companies were imported into the DYNAMICS DB for the other companies (because the 2010 had way more companies than the 2015 setup) and that no historical transaction would miss rates that were not part of the other instance (i.e. the 2015 was having foreign companies with currencies that the local 2010 instance did not have).
Fortunately the company ID's were different in both setups, so there was no risk of collision, because that's the major problem you may run into when merging 2 different instances.
