Currency Translation - D365 Finance & Operations - Consolidate online

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 637

Hello,

This question is about currency translation in D365 F&O.  Here is the example from the scenario we have-:

Balance on an Account on  CAD - 5000 as on 01/31/2020

I run the month end consolidation and D365 translates CAD 5000 to USD at what ever exchange rate I have specified ex - Closing, Average etc.

Now during Feb 2020, I post additional CAD 3000 to the same account.

I run the month end consolidation on 02/28/2020 - Now the system translates only difference of CAD 3000 to USD @ the month end rate or as selected by the user.

Our client is not agreeing to this logic and says that the system must translate the entire CAD 8000 at the FEB 2020 rate and not just CAD 3000 and  this will result in a difference (CAD 5000 was translated and different rate earlier and my balance at the end of Feb 2020 is not correct)

We suggested them to run the revaluation in the Consolidation company which actually takes care of the difference, but they don't agree to this logic and claim that it is the wrong way of doing consolidation.

 

Any suggestions apart from using Management reporter?

    Hi Narasimha,

    An alternative to the Management Reporter are specialized 3rd party consolidation tools. Most companies I work with use them because they are easier to handle in complex consolidation scenarios and have special functionalities to deal with the issues you mentioned. This might be something you want to look into.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Thanks Ludwig,

    Any suggestions for the 3rd party tools?

    Secondly, What is your opinion the way D365 is doing the consolidation process (Net difference) Ex - It is only looking for the transaction delta on the Account and translating only the delta. Our client is challenging this very strongly and saying it should translate the entire balance as on the date of consolidation and not only the net difference.

    Have you experienced this scenario with other clients?

    Hi Narasimha

    As I understand your requirement you want to use the closing rate in your consolidation. I you have not selected "Current" for the different relevant main accounts please try that and the generate the consolidation in Financial reporter. If it does not work rebuild the Data mart. I hope these suggestions help you solve the issue.
