Consolidation Transalation Method

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Hi Everyone, 

I am seeking guidance on the Consolidation process in Business Central. I am trying to prevent the system from translating the Retained Earnings account using the Average Rate.

Requirement:
I need the Retained Earnings balance to remain at its historical value without being revalued by exchange rates during consolidation.

  • Opening Balance: -10,000 USD

  • 2025 Movement: -12,000 USD

  • Expected Consolidated Balance: -22,000 USD (Exact match)

Current Issue:
Despite setting the Consolidation Translation Method to Equity (and trying Composite) on the G/L Account card, the system continues to apply the Average Rate during the consolidation run.

Questions:

  1. Which specific Translation Method should be used to ensure no exchange rate adjustment is applied to this account?

I have the same question (0)
