LCY and FCY not showing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JohnnyLM 187

Hello BC-Forum

I filled in Currencies and exchange rates, for example USD. I made an invoice of 1000 USD which I have posted. All fine. After that I looked at the chart of accounts and I see the amount of LCY which is also what I expected. But I do not see the FCY of 1000 USD and in my chart of accounts I do not see the currency of USD. What am I forgetting? Please see my printscreen.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Greetings,

John

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting.

    The Foreign Currency (US$ in your example of 1000 USD) value is tracked at the Customer (CLE) or Vendor Ledger Entry (VLE) (aka Subsidiary Ledger) level. You may wish to show Currency Code along with Amount/Amount(LCY), Original Amount/Original Amount(LCY), and Remaining Amount/Remaining Amount (LCY) in the CLE or VLE. In that way, you may see the original Currency Code for the transaction and the LCY values. 

    However, G/L Entries always show converted value for the LCY, which ties back to the CLE or VLE LCY amount.

    You may setup an Additional Reporting Currency (ARCY) to see values posted in LCY converted to a secondary reporting currency. ARCY is setup in General Ledger Setup.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for your answer. My question is rather simple. In my printscreen there is a column "Amount" and "Amount (FCY)". I would expect column "Amount (FCY)" to be filled with -1000. Why is this column 0.00?

    Is this a bug?

    Johnny,

    The field Amount (FCY) seems like a custom field. In the General Ledger Entries table I show Amount and have the Addtl Reporting Currency Amount. I would check with your Partner where this field came from. When looking at Customer or Vendor Foreign Currency postings, as Tom mentioned, you see the Foreign Currency and LCY in the Vendor or Customer Ledger Entries.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hello Steve, 

    it is not a custom field. This field has always been there. I did not change or personalize anything on this part and a partner did not also. 

    I think it is a bug and because of the relevance (FCY should be listed next to LCY for control purposes) I would recommend fixing.

    Greetings, 

    John

    John,

    Connect with your Partner to submit a support ticket to Microsoft to resolve.
