General Ledger

Accounts Payable and Alternate Currencies

Alternate Currency AP Checks

Accounts payable checks can be issued against banks whose currency differs from the local currency for the financial enterprise. The banks must be set up in program SPBM, Bank Code Maintenance, with the appropriate alternate currency and the cash account assigned the same currency. For checks drawn on alternate currency banks, the alternate currency amounts are preserved all the way through posting to the general ledger and the local accounts are calculated by the system based on the alternate currency rates.

Some forms will display amounts for vouchers and payments from alternate currency banks in green.

To handle possible currency gain/loss postings, set up the CURR accounts payable general ledger posting type.

When accounts payable journals are posted to the general ledger, all of the alternate amounts are include, regardless of whether a given account has a matching alternate currency attached. During processing with program GLJP, GL Journal Transaction Posting, if the account being posted to has the same currency as the journal, the alternate amounts are posted. Otherwise the alternate amount is calculated from the local amount during the posting process.

For alternate currency journals posted from Accounts Payable, if the journal to be posted is in alternate currency amounts, and the account being posted to is assigned the same currency code, the alternate currency amounts will be posted. If the account is not assigned the same currency code, the posted amount is calculated by the system using the currency code assigned to the account.
