Here is information pertaining to how FX works in Flow-Through:
• | The FLOWTHROUGHFACTORS_USE_FX parameter needs to be entered with a paramvalue of 1 for the FX fields (Use Fx Rates During Calculations, Beg Fx Rate, and Wgt Avg Fx Rate) to display on the Flow-Through Factors screen. |
• | An unknown FX rate will force unknown amounts to zero which may or may not be erroneous. The automatic calculation (if it is being used) will not provide an error message. However, the manual calculation will provide a warning (which can be ignored by the user). This warning message provides a list of the units that have an unknown FX rate so this data can be corrected by the user. |
• | The source unit to target unit Flow-Through will not calculate, nor store a currency translation adjustment (CTA) on the target unit. The CTA is only calculated and shown when going from local currency to reporting currency. The CTA reported on the target unit may not match the CTA shown for the source unit that fed the target unit. The correct CTA will only be in the original source unit. |
